Mario's Ritual Armageddon 2

I regret not posting updates about this deck lately. I have done a lot of updates and changes on it since my first post. I did post a second video on Youtube a while ago with the changes at that time but things have somewhat changed again. Here I will share this decklist and the changes compared to the first blog post.

Monsters (25):


2 Relinquished
2 Demise, King of Armageddon
1 Ruin, Queen of Oblivion
1 Garlandolf King of Destruction
3 Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands
2 Senju of the Thousand Hands
2 Djinn Presider of Rituals
2 Djinn Releaser of Rituals
1 Ritual Raven
1 Armageddon Knight
1 Sangan
2 Goblin Zombie
1 Mezuki
1 Chaos Sorcerer
1 Gorz the Emissary of Darkness
1 Phantom of Chaos
1 Sky Scourge Norleras

Spells (12):

2 Black Illusion Ritual
2 End of the World
1 Ritual of Destruction
2 Contract with the Abyss
1 Allure of Darkness
1 Monster Reborn
1 Giant Trunade
1 Dark Hole
1 Preparation of Rights

Traps (3):

3 Royal Decree

Ruin is now included as an alternative target of End of the World. Every time it destroys a monster by battle it attacks again. It's a miniture version of BLS. Furthermore, if Djinn Presider of Rituals is a material for Ruin then I will draw many cards.

Ritual Raven counts as the entire tribute for ritual summoning a dark ritual monster. It has another technical  use however. If I want to summon Relinquished with Contract of the Abyss I have to use Ritual Raven because Contract forces the ritual tributes to equal the exact same level as the ritual monster.

The Zombie engine exists to increase advantage a little since Rituals need as much monster advantage as possible. Tributing a Goblin Zombie while on the field adds either the second Goblin Zombie or Mezuki to the hand. Once Mezuki is in the graveyard you can remove it to summon a Goblin Zombie from the graveyard. This is useful because you can press for extra damage after the field is wiped by Demise.

Sky Scourge Norleras is in the deck because of its ability to send all cards in the hand and field to the graveyard (both players). The user follows up by drawing 2 cards. This card is actually summonable and it's also an 8 star tribute for Demise and Ruin.

Phantom of Chaos can copy any dark monster in your graveyard by removing it from play. I use this primarily with Sky Scourge Norleras but I can also use it with Chaos Sorcerer, Demise or Relinquished.

Contract with the Abyss allows for a ritual summon of any dark ritual monster as long as the levels of the monster(s) tributed exactly equal the level of the ritual monster. It helps when the particular ritual spell needed isn't around.

Preparation of Rites adds a lv 7 or lower ritual monster from your deck to your hand and a ritual spell from your graveyard to your hand. This will grab exactly what you need for another ritual summon.

Finally, the 3 Royal Decree are there to lock off traps for your ritual monsters to properly function (particularly Demise). The only other threats are Book of Moon, Effect Veiler, My Body as a Shield and Herald of Orange Light. Many people do not expect Royal Decree and it has caught many of my opponents off-guard.

This ritual build is my second favorite and was the build that I constructed while I gathered the cards for my final type of ritual deck. This build is complete (minus Pot of Duality x 2, but I will have those at the end of the month) and ready for battle. I believe it is the best of the three types of ritual builds I have created. I will post the decklist and strategies another day.
