Djinn Presider of Rituals …
The brother companion of yesterday’s card, and
I’d say ALMOST as good … A Dark Fiend, like his
sister, Djinn POR can also be removed from the
graveyard for the purpose of Ritual Summons. And
when he is used for this, the Ritual monster gains
an effect. This time – whenever the Ritual monster
destroys a monster in battle – u get to draw a card.
Drawing cards outside your draw phase is an
excellent thing. Almost every Yu-gi-oh player wants
this happening in one form or another … either for
yourself to speed up access to your resources, or
for your opponent to push them to deck out … Either
way – drawing is key in Yu-gi-oh. And when the
effect is attached to a monster, it is even better.
It’s why a relatively weak tribute monster like
Airknight Parshath was so popular in his day. So
although Djinn ROR’s (yesterday’s card) effect of
cancelling an opponent’s special summon may be
slightly better, Djinn POR’s effect is pretty good
too.
Also, Djinn POR has arguably better stats than
ROR … Depending on how u look at it. The Presider
has 4 stars and a muscular 1800 ATK, so it is well
capable of being battle useful before ever even
getting to its effect. Should it then be destroyed
and sent to the graveyard? – No biggie. U still get
mileage out of him when the time is right. The
argument for the Releaser having better stats is
that she is much more searchable, so easier to get
to the field without necessarily having to be drawn
and then normal summoned.
So yeah – this card is just about as good as
yesterdays … Giving a lot of strong support to a
Ritual based deck … a deck that ain’t great … but
definitely benefits from said support.
Traditional: 3/5
