Gishkis Part 3 – Gishki Support – The Ritual Djinns

The Djinn of Rituals monsters are an archetype whose main goal is to be used as material for ritual summons. They can all be utilized from the hand, the field, and even banished from the graveyard when used as ritual material.

Part 0 – Why Gishkis

This article is part of an ongoing series about the Gishki Archetype and the interesting directions they can be taken. This first article is a short explanation of what makes Gishkis superior to other ritual monsters, and a little about why I think they’re cool. You’ll see them every Wednesday and Friday.
