How do you use ritual cards I can never get them to work!?

First, get 3 specific monsters that were written on the card. Such as Ultimate Dragon Ritual, you need 3 Blue Eyes White Dragon.

Once you put the 3 monsters necessary for the ritual in your deck, then play a match with any duelist.

Try to gather the pieces of the ritual monster in your hand. When you have 1 Ritual Magic Card and all 3 monsters in your hand, then start summoning them to the field.

The ritual monster cannot be special summoned unless you summon the 3 monsters required.

After you had all 3 monsters on the field, activate the Ritual Magic Card. The 3 cards will form itself into 1 card (This can only be done when the 3 monsters are correct).

If it doesn't, then the ritual has failed. When this happen, try another combination after the match ends.

When the monster(s) needed for the ritual is weak, then try to have at least 1 Swords of Revealing Light in your deck.

It's also good to have Fake Traps or Widespread Ruins. These cards will help you summon the ritual monster.

I tried all of this and they worked. It doesn't matter which order you put them.

Hint: Even if the monster required is strong, try your best to wait for the traps to protect. Sometimes good monsters can be beaten. Try to have about 2 or 3 for each required monsters.

Because, your opponent may crush them with card destroyer. Such as Crush Card or Raigeki.

Good Luck!
