Rulings
- You can Tribute face-down Fiends to Special Summon "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms".
- Tributing 1 monster is a cost to activate this card’s Ignition Effect. You cannot Tribute this card for its own effect.
- If your opponent Normal Summons a monster in a chain using "Ultimate Offering", resolve all effects in that chain, then activate the effect of "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" to start a new chain. If the Normal Summon for "Ultimate Offering" was Chain Link 2 or higher, you still activate the effect of "Raviel". It does not miss the timing.
- If all of your Monster Card Zones are full, this card’s effect will activate, but if there are no available spaces when the effect resolves, the effect is not applied.
