Samsara:
Monster Cards Tributed for a Ritual Summon are returned to the owner's Deck instead of being sent to the Graveyard. Then shuffle the Deck.
Advanced Ritual Art
Select 1 Ritual Monster in your hand. Send Normal Monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard whose total Levels are equal to that Ritual Monster's. Ritual Summon a card with the name of the selected Ritual Monster from your hand.
So as I read it, as ARA calls for cards to be sent (effect, not cost) to the graveyard for the ritual summon, Samsara won't work in this case.
However, tributes for standard ritual spells shouldn't be considered a cost either, as they are only tributed upon successful resolution of the ritual spell card- unless I am missing something.
As I cannot find anything that requires a tribute from the deck, could it be considered that the act of sending cards to be tribute for the ritual? After all, supply considers that the monsters sent from the deck through future fusion's effect to be fusion materials...
Or does samsara require a specific act of 'tribute' ?
I like/am horrified by the potential combo of ARA/samsara, and using ARA to recycle the normal monsters from the deck back to the deck, while summoning an effectively 'free' ritual monster...
Thoughts?
