Explained
Special Summon it from your hand by shuffling a Spellcaster or Warrior Ritual Monster from your hand or GY into the Deck. It can place a Continuous Trap that mentions "Light and Darkness Ritual", is unaffected by your opponent's activated effects while you have a Ritual Spell in your GY, and banishes 2 cards once per turn.
In Light and Darkness Ritual decks, as a way to put a strong monster on the field from your hand and remove two of your opponent's cards.
- Using the banish effect when your opponent controls only 1 card. It needs at least 2.
- Reviving it with a card effect when it wasn't properly summoned first.
How it works
- Summon condition: Can’t be Normal Summoned or Set. Special Summon it from your hand by shuffling 1 Spellcaster or Warrior Ritual Monster from your hand or GY into the Deck. Once per turn this way.
- From the hand: Discard it to place 1 Continuous Trap that mentions “Light and Darkness Ritual” face-up on your field from your Deck or GY.
- Protection: While you have a Ritual Spell in your GY, it’s unaffected by your opponent’s activated effects.
- Banish: Once per turn, during your Main Phase, banish 2 cards your opponent controls.
When to use it
Black Chaos gives Ritual decks a way to reuse a Ritual Monster from the GY for a big summon, then removes two cards each turn. With a Ritual Spell in the GY, it’s hard for your opponent to deal with using activated effects.
