Immortal Phoenix (2026) |
Reindsurm (リインゼルム Riinzerumu) is a Ritual Insect Monster archetype introduced in Immortal Phoenix in 2026. The archetype is made entirely of Ritual Monsters, which is quite unusual, and provides support for generic Insect Monsters. The deck has five Attributes, one for each card, covering WIND/WATER/LIGHT/FIRE/DARK. EARTH is the only one missing, despite being the most common Attribute among Insects. This was probably a deliberate choice to avoid clashing with generic EARTH Insect support and to allow clauses such as “non-FIRE” and “non-WIND”.
The archetype’s main mechanic is performing Ritual Summons by sending Monsters to the Graveyard, allowing you to Tribute Monsters from your hand or field, or shuffle Insect and Dragon Monsters back into the Deck.
What we have here is the same philosophy of “fixing” a Summoning mechanic that Konami applied to Drytron, Megalith and Nekroz, but with a new solution: using the GY as material instead of the hand or field. Also, we have the return of Insects, a historically weak Type with few Boss Monsters and plenty of ups and downs, as Ragnaraika.
