Contents
Characteristics
Ritual Monsters are stored in the Main Deck. They are Special Summon Monsters; they cannot be Normal Summoned or Set, cannot be Special Summoned with Pendulum Summoning, and cannot be Special Summoned from the hand or Deck by non-Ritual Summoning card effects, unless:
- The effect specifically states that it Special Summons Ritual Monsters (e.g. "Ritual Foregone"), and the Ritual Monster being Summoned does not have a "Must be Ritual Summoned" condition, OR,
- The effect Ignores the monster's Summoning conditions.
If a Ritual Monster is not properly Ritual Summoned before being sent to the Graveyard or banished, it cannot be Special Summoned from there by non-Ritual Summoning card effects.[1][2][3][4][5]
A properly Special Summoned Ritual Monster loses its status if it is returned to the hand or Deck.[6][7]
Ritual Summoning condition
Every Ritual Monster mentions one or more cards that can Ritual Summon the Ritual Monster in the first line of its card text. The card(s) mentioned is typically a Ritual Spell, but can also be non-Ritual Spell cards, primarily for the Ritual archetypes that lack a Ritual Spell (e.g. "Megalith", "Libromancer").
The mentioned card(s) is never the only card(s) that can Ritual Summon the Ritual Monster, but rather one that can be used for its Ritual Summon. All Ritual Monsters can be Ritual Summoned using effects of other appropriate Ritual Summoning cards, even if they are not mentioned on the Ritual Monster card.
Ritual Summoning
Ritual Monsters must first be Special Summoned by Ritual Summoning, using the effect of a card that performs a Ritual Summon.
Usually, Ritual Summoning is performed by a Ritual Spell Card, with an effect that involves tributing monsters from the player's hand or field whose levels equal or exceed the Ritual Monster being Ritual Summoned, then Ritual Summoning the Ritual Monster from the player's hand.
In the anime
Ritual Monsters have not featured as a major mechanic in the anime.
