Explained

What it does

When you Ritual Summon, you can banish this card from your GY as one of the required monsters. If a player Ritual Summons using it, the other player can't Special Summon while that Ritual Monster stays face-up.

Play it when

It can't be used in Advanced Format. It's Forbidden in the TCG.

Common mistakes
  • Using it alone for a Level 4 or higher Ritual Monster. It only counts as Level 3.

Status: Forbidden in the TCG (Sept 21, 2026 list), so it can’t be used in Advanced Format.

How it works

  • From the GY: When you Ritual Summon a monster, you can banish this card from your GY as 1 of the monsters required.
  • Lock: If a player Ritual Summons using this card, the other player can’t Special Summon while that Ritual Monster is face-up on the field.

Rulings in plain English

Effect types: Neither effect is Ignition, Trigger, Quick or Continuous. The lock makes no chain.

Level: Banished from the GY, it counts as a Level 3 monster, so it can’t cover a Level 4 or higher Ritual Monster by itself.

Lock source: Applies whether you banished it from the GY or Tributed it normally for the Ritual Summon.
