This card is awesome, but the problem is that it's NEVER drawn/used because it's only played in Titan decks (which as far as I can tell, Fithz and I are the only 2 that play them). I'm not entirely sure what the solution is, but either changing its condition or accessibility might be helpful.

If you really have the only 2 Titan decks around, the statistics mean nothing for this specific card. If I had room for a Titan deck, I would include this card (in other words I guess it's good enough to pick).

I don't have a Titan deck because you mostly get Game slots for leveling up. (Sigh...)

Hey, I still play the deck where I was once one Common draw away from a Titan victory, and that was before we had cards to fish for them specifically.

I'd much rather have a card that's really useful in a small fraction of decks, than one that's so-so but usable in a wide variety of decks. Specialization is a fine thing. I don't think this card needs to be changed.

I would revive the discussion about this card, because it is really never played.

from the experience with my titan deck i can tell, that, althought this card has a great potential, i never get to play it (Really, from my 164 wins with my titan deck, just 1 was made with this card).
Either, because i have almost a complete set and discarding them all won't finish my enemy, or because i don't draw it or because i have not enough recources to play it.

It hat already a very special condition, but with its cost, you currently need to discard 2 titan cards to have a ratio of 1:1, which is far easiely achieved with other cards.
Above 3 parts of the titan, you will more likely to wait for a special summoner for titan parts.
And above this, it uses gems and bricks, while first one is the main recource in titan decks, the second one is the main recource in unliving decks. (excluded the combination of both)
This card is, in fact, useless for titan decks, because of its high cost, but has a great potential in offensive unliving decks, but to develop this potential, it just needs a lower cost.

So all in all, this card has lost its usefullness because completition ritual became quite doable, while the cost of wicked ritual is just so high for its potential that it is just not worth playing anymore.

I would appreciate to halve the cost to 10/10/10, then it would be at least worth to play it in unliving and titan decks.

Sounds reasonable.

If this card were 10/10/10 it could be used for pretty easy 2 or 3 turn victories. It seems like too much potential for early burst to me.

(And in case anyone wants to get technical, yes the current version of the card would also allow for a 2-turn victory, but only with Fair trade.)

(In case anyone wants to get really technical, yeah you could also do it with an astronomically unlikely sequence of quick/swift cards.)

We could change the cost in favour of one specific resource to balance that.

Easier 2 rounds victories are doable with witcher, which is less conditional, or dark ritual and crypt+ice revenant with some quick cards or swift cards. I would say then, that this card should need balancing-wise more recruits and as a second recource gems, for the theme. Maybe 23R/13G ?

Dark ritual? You mean soul sacrifice?

Forgot the cost of dark ritual. Altought a lucky combination of a tower- card, soul sacrifice and dark ritual could wreck somebody in 3 turns
