Subject: Ritual Monsters Are Good--Ryutaro





Hello everyone; I'm here to give you my two cents about Ritual Monsters. 
Ritual Monsters are some of the most underrated cards ever in the English 
Yu-Gi-Oh! world, mostly because of the fact that you need a Ritual Magic 
Card and the right monsters to offer as a Tribute. Now automatically most 
people would say "Ha, I can easily Magic Jam it!" or "I can just use Horn 
of Heaven or Solemn Judgment! to stop it!" But unbeknownst to everyone 
else, it's actually HARD to stop what I would call an "Early Ritual 
Summon." This is a Ritual Summon performed in the first few turns of the 
Duel, and it's not impossible to even start with a hand that allows you to 
Ritual Summon off the bat! And this is way before Magic Jammer can even be 
Set on the field! So it's not so easy to negate a Ritual Summon. There's 
always the possibility of an Early Ritual Summon, which renders most 
Counter Traps useless. And let's not forget, Ritual Monsters are Special 
Summons, so Trap Hole won't stop them. So that means the only TRUE method 
of eliminating a Ritual Monster is to either beat it with a stronger 
monster, use the Man-Eater Bug, or use Raigeki or any of the monster 
removal-type Magic Cards available. To put it bluntly, Ritual Monsters are 
hella good, whether their ATK and DEF are pathetic or not.

Well, I'll be seeing ya.
