I don't need a Drytron Ritual Monster but while the artwork looks like quite the spectacle to see, it's masking how mediocre this card is as a whole.

Can't even name a single Ritual that would make using Machines and only Machines worthwhile, especially when you need their ATKs to be at or higher than the Ritual Monster's. This also hurts the Deck it was made for.

1 extra point for Ritual Spell protection but that's not saying much when Drytrons don't have anything worth blocking.

Are we just going to ignore that Harpie's Feather Duster is LEGAL for tournaments again, thereby making it 20x easier to activate this card's 3rd effect? I guess so.

There is very little chance for you to have enough Level 2 or 1 monsters in your hand and certainly not on the field to achieve the 3rd effect of this card and even then it only applies to your opponent's Special Summoned monsters. What a disappointment for such a strong monster.

Two copies of the only decent card in this set thus far is enough to bring this guy out but usin g the effect will mean you lose it just to gain control of an opponent's monster. I think Zombie World does better when used with those monsters that gain control of X-Type monsters.
