This ritual spell card requires a tribute or multiple tributes with an exact total of level eight from the field or your hand. You have options of multiple ritual monsters in exchange of the requirement of an exact total of level eight from the tributes.

Therefore, Super Soldier Ritual has multiple monsters in its pool. It’s library of Black Luster Soldiers will only continue to grow overtime. You may ritual summon Black Luster Soldier, Black Luster Soldier – Legendary Swordsman, and Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier with Super Soldier Ritual.

Second Effect:

Super Soldier Ritual has an additional effect from the graveyard. This ritual spell card may banish itself, one light monster, and one dark monster to special summon any ritual monster with Black Luster Soldier in its name from your hand. This effect ignores the summoning condition for the monster. Super Soldier Ritual may special summon any ritual monster with Black Luster Soldier in its name from your hand.

Therefore, Super Soldier Ritual allows you to use it twice in a game for the special summon of a Black Luster Soldier. It has good value in your graveyard because you can activate this ritual spell card’s second effect from the graveyard. A ritual monster such as Black Luster Soldier – Legendary Swordsman is still a useful card in the hand when Super Soldier Ritual is in the graveyard.

Furthermore, you can easily fulfill the requirements for this effect. Decks with Black Luster Soldier play many monsters with the attributes of light and dark. The graveyard should have these monsters in it and you can consistently activate this ability.

For example, Beginning Knight and Envoy of Chaos are light and dark monsters. They fulfill the requirements of the second effect. You may banish them for the special summon. This effect also triggers the effect f Beginning Knight to add a ritual spell card from the deck to your hand.

Overall, Super Soldier Ritual is one of the best ritual spell cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!. The effects to use this card in the hand or graveyard add a lot of value of this card. You have a second chance to activate it for the special summon of a ritual monster with Black Luster Soldier in its name.. It can special summon a variety of Black of Soldiers with both of its effects. Therefore, I recommend playing three copies of Super Soldier Ritual in a deck with Black Luster Soldier.
