About Desperate Ritual
Desperate Ritual, Instant — arcane, designed by Darrell Riche first released in Oct, 2004 in the set Champions of Kamigawa and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 7.49. It's a key card in 6 combos.
Desperate Ritual is a crucial card in Modern Storm decks, providing a burst of red mana to help cast multiple spells in a turn and generate storm count. While there are other similar rituals like Pyretic Ritual and Seething Song, Desperate Ritual's splice ability adds flexibility and synergy within the deck, making it a staple choice for Storm strategies. It should definitely see play in these decks due to its efficiency and combo potential.
Rules
06/07/13
Desperate Ritual isn’t a mana ability. When cast, it (or the spell it’s spliced onto) goes on the stack like any spell and can be responded to.
06/07/13
You choose all targets for the spell after revealing cards you want to splice, including any targets required by the text of any of those cards. You may choose a different target for each instance of the word “target” on the resulting spell.
06/07/13
You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.
