Can you ritual using face down monsters?
You can ritual summon using face-down monsters, as the official Yu-Gi-Oh rulebook states that a player is allowed to tribute a face-down monster, as long as that player controls that face-down monster, except if the card or effect says otherwise. The key to understanding this rule lies in recognizing that face-down monsters can indeed be used as Tribute for a Ritual Summon, provided there are no specific restrictions imposed by the card text or activated effects.
Understanding Ritual Summoning
Ritual Monsters are a unique class of monsters in the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game that require specific ritual spell cards and tribute monsters to be summoned.
