Another titan support card which could summon the Wicked Ritual could be VERY ill advised.

IMO too easy to meet the condition, either the card should be rare, or make it "If unique titan parts in hand > 4, summon wicked ritual" or sth like that.

We currently have no card, which can specifically summon the wicked ritual. It got no keyword. I think about another condition to summon the ritual.

Edit: Expect it around tomorrow

Pardon the unclear phrase of the objection. Let me try again.

Another Titan Support card, which can summon the Wicked Ritual, could be very ill-advised.

To be clear: You don't want to have any way to summon wicked ritual at all?

Edit: Changed the condition to something "vengeance-like"

I think that the reasoning is that, if there's an Uncommon that summons Wicked Ritual when playing the Rare would be ideal, Wicked Ritual itself would need to be rebalanced as an Uncommon card.


Titan's shadow, Uncommon 14g
If your tower was reduced by at least 20 last turn:
Summon Wicked ritual
else:
Titan tokens: +25


Your revision to the card alleviates that somewhat, since it no longer looks at what's in your hand and instead depends on the opponent doing something (dealing 20 tower damage). It's also good that Titan's shadow and Wicked Ritual share a resource in their collective cost. But it still needs to be questioned whether this makes playing Wicked Ritual too easy for the way it's currently balanced.

I wouldn't mind if wicked ritual would be rebalanced (something like 20/20 or more) if there would be a way to reliable summon it. Because right now its more a matter of luck if you draw it, thus being just like a "freeroll" for titan decks (And at the times you draw it, you most time want to directly head for the completation ritual anyway.)

I made concepts like this or ritualist because i believe that wicked ritual could become like an alternate option for titan decks. Because right now it is almost completely useless (And i did many games with my titan deck, and i never get to use this card because i never draw it in time or discarding my whole hand when i was missing one piece wasnt worth it).

Make Titan's shadow a generic summon card for Titan Supports, then. The cost will be lowered by a substantial amount, and you will still have a fair chance to draw the Ritual.

The revenge-style tower damage setup is not reliable, anyway. Titan decks have decent wall. When the opponent sees you not play your defensive cards, you'll make what you try to do obvious, and they'll build their hand until they can strongarm you down.

Well, this is a suggestion i can come behind.

Edit on the card: changed tower damage to total damage, reduced gem cost by 4 and changed the summoned card into a non-common titan support card.

Titan's shadow, Uncommon, 10g
If you suffered more than 20 damage last turn:
Summon a non-common titan support card.


I like it better with each edit. The only suggestion I would make now is to give it some small else effect so it's not not completely useless if it ends up in your hand outside of its intended circumstances. Small enough that you would never put it in your deck for the else effect, but something that maybe, just maybe you'd play it rather than discarding.

Also, is this now a Titan support card? If it is, best state that it will not draw itself.

sounds reasonable. now it seems to have quite a big text-box

Edit on the card: Added an else-effect of +15 titan tokens and made it able to not summon itself.
