Three new Ritual Beasts are about to be released in Crossed Souls, and 2 of them are from the cool new Zefra theme! Crossed Souls introduces Ritual Beast Tamer Zeframpilica, Ritual Beast Tamer Zefrawendi, and Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio to the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME!



Ritual Beast Tamer Zeframpilica is a Level 3 Pendulum Monster with a Pendulum Scale of 1 that Special Summons 1 Ritual Beast or Zefra monster from your Graveyard when it’s Normal or Pendulum Summoned. That Special Summoned monster is destroyed during the End Phase.

Zeframpilica fits in perfectly with the Ritual Beast theme, giving them more extra Summons to work with. Ritual Beast Decks strive to get a Ritual Beast Tamer and Spiritual Beast monster on the field at the same time, so that they can banish both monsters to Special Summon their ace Fusion monsters: Ritual Beast Ulti-Apelio, Ritual Beast Ulti-Cannahawk, and Ritual Beast Ulti-Pettlephin. Use Ritual Beast Tamer Zeframpilica’s effect to Special Summon any Spiritual Beast from your Graveyard, and you’ll already have the components you need to Special Summon three of your key Fusion monsters.

Ritual Beast Tamer Zefrawendi is a Level 3 Pendulum Monster with a Pendulum Scale of 7 that lets you add a face-up Zefra monster (other than Zefrawendi) from your Extra Deck to your hand when it’s Normal or Pendulum Summoned. In a dedicated Ritual Beast Deck, you can use Zefrawendi to add Ritual Beast Tamer Zeframpilica from your Extra Deck to your hand.

When you place Ritual Beast Tamer Zeframpilica (Pendulum Scale of 1) and Ritual Beast Tamer Zefrawendi (Pendulum Scale of 7) in your Pendulum Zones, you can Pendulum Summon Zefra and Ritual Beast monsters ranging from Levels 2 through 6. Pendulum Summoning lots of Ritual Beasts at once will help you un-clog monster heavy hands and Summon your most powerful Fusion Monsters, including the new Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio!

Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio has 3200 ATK. You can Special Summon it from your Extra Deck by banishing a Ritual Beast Ulti- monster, a Ritual Beast Tamer, and a Spiritual Beast from your field. If you Special Summon it by banishing those 3 monsters from your field, it gains an awesome effect: During either player’s turn, you can banish a Ritual Beast card from your hand to negate the activation of a Spell, Trap, or monster effect, and destroy that card. Since Ritual Beast Decks easily gather Ritual Beast cards in the hand thanks to monsters like Ritual Beast Ulti-Cannahawk, a properly Summoned Ulti-Gaiapelio has the potential to completely shut your opponent out of the Duel.

You can also use Ritual Beast’s Bond to Special Summon Ulti-Gaiapelio from your Extra Deck by banishing any two Ritual Beasts from your field. Ulti-Gaiapelio won’t get its effect if it’s Summoned using this Quick-Play Spell Card, but sometimes Ulti-Gaiapelio’s 3200 ATK is all you need to finish your opponent off.

Ritual Beasts have recently been gaining popularity in competitive tournaments. Ritual Beast Tamer Zeframpilica, Ritual Beast Tamer Zefrawendi, and Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio will make them stronger than ever before. You can get your hands on the new Ritual Beast cards for the first time at the Crossed Souls Sneak Peek on May 9th and 10th!
