You are viewing an old version of this card
Check: when played it checks the combat log for a card of yours Exhausted earlier this turn.
Payout: if it finds one you gain 3 Energy, if not, nothing happens, and either way it then Exhausts itself, so the net gain is 2 Energy after its cost, and it cannot enable itself.
Counting: any Exhaust counts, including cards eaten by True Grit or Havoc.- Chaining: a whiffed copy still Exhausts, which switches on a second copy played later in the turn, and it glows gold when the condition is met.
Upgrade: it gives 4 Energy.
When to take Forgotten Ritual
Worth it once the deck has at least two reliable Exhaust outlets, or it is often just a 1 cost blank. It shines under Corruption and beside Fiend Fire.
