Spellbook of the Master is another excellent
Spellbook Magic card in the ever growing arsenal of
said cards. You have to control a Spellcaster
Monster to activate this card, and reveal another
Spellbook Magic card in your Hand. This lets you
select and target a Normal Spellbook Magic Card in
your Graveyard, and this cards effect becomes the
effect of the card you choose. You can't choose
Spellbook of the Master, although I'm not sure why
you would choose this card anyway. That wouldn't do
you any good, and like yesterday, you can only
activate one of these a turn. Being able to reuse a
Spellbook Magic card from your Graveyard is a
wonderful ability, and the requirement to play this
card, even being dependent on two other things,
would be no problem at all in its Deck. Use and
enjoy

Spellbooks get a big boost from Spellbook of the
Master. It allows you to get around the
once-per-turn requirements that most Spellbooks have
and it allows you to get more Spellbooks in the
graveyard which is a big bonus in a Spellbook deck.
Too bad this card is a secret. We will be getting
some more support for Spellbooks in the future so
Spellbook of the Master is only going to help make
the deck that much better.
We have some new Prophecy monsters in Cosmo Blazer
that depend on having Spellbooks of different names
in your graveyard to get their effects. Not only
does Spellbook of the Master give you another
Spellbook of a different name, but it also gives you
more options depending on what Spellbook effect you
need at the time.
Let’s try some fun stuff with this card. Activate
Spellbook of Secrets to get Master. Then activate
Spellbook of the Master to make it a Secrets to
search for Spellbook of Power and play it. Attack
with your monster to search for Spellbook Tower and
activate it. Without playing another Spellbook, you
now have three spellbooks of a different name in the
graveyard and you are drawing an extra card every
turn. Spellbook of the Master just makes the deck
more consistent because you do not have to play
three of every normal Spellbook and you can choose
which effect you need, depending on what is in your
graveyard.
Spellbooks are only going to get better and
Spellbook of the Master is going to be a must in the
deck. Unfortunately the deck is still ruined by
Macro Cosmos and Magic negation.

I like today's card. At number 4 is Spellbook of
the Master and rightfully so. The Prophecy monsters
rely on these powerful spell cards and this one is
just as strong as the rest, if not more so. If you
control a Spellcaster-type monster, you can reveal
one other Spellbook spell card and target one Normal
Spellbook spell card, this card's effect becomes the
one you targeted. It pretty much gives you access to
whatever Spellbook spell you already used without
much cost. You can combo this card with High
Priestess and Spellbook of Eternity to get back 2 of
your banished Spellbook cards in one turn. You can
even reveal another copy of this card to target one
on your graveyard. Spellbook Of Power can amp up one
of your Spellcasters by 1000 ATK, with Spellbook of
the Master, you can increase it by another 1000.
This card gives you pretty much an extra copy of any
of the Normal Spellbook cards you use. In a deck
that uses Spellbook, this card is a must.

New Game: Take a drink anytime any of me or my
fellow reviewers use the word "Spellbook" in this
review.

Welcome to the last spell card of our countdown
for Cosmic Blazer! Today we will be covering the
card that allows Prophecy to gain incredibly
consistency for their deck, let’s take a look at
Spellbook of the Masters!
Spellbook of the Master
Normal Spell Card
If you control a Spellcaster-Type monster: You can
reveal 1 other "Spellbook" card in your hand to
target 1 "Spellbook" Normal Spell Card in your
Graveyard, except "Spellbook of the Master"; this
card's effect becomes that target's effect. You can
only activate 1 "Spellbook of the Master" per turn.
What limits the spellbook cards? Their main issue is
that you can only use of the searchers per turn. I
am sure they did this so that it wouldn’t become the
new Toon Table of Contents, which is very ideal. In
Prophecy, your main searching play would be
something like Secret -> Power -> Pump something to
kill another monster -> Search what you need or
another secrets to fuel their field spell. However,
things change a little bit with Master
Master allows you to essentially copy one of your
normal spelbook cards that is in your graveyard.
This means that you can do Secrets-> Master ->
Whatever you wanted to search. This gives some more
deck thinning, which can be quite crucial for the
deck. Even better, you can do Power-> Master-> Boost
a monster by 2000 and when it kills something you
can search two cards; and all your Priestess to beat
over just about any monster in the game.
Let’s also not forget that it gets more spells in
the grave for their Field Spell and Reaper(one of
last week’s cards), creating more synergy with the
deck as a whole. Finally, I have to mention the use
it has with their new upcoming card: Judgment; which
will be quite interesting….
In general, the card is amazing and will help push
the deck a little bit more thanks to the consistency
it provides.

Solid card for a solid deck

I could see Prophecy working here! DMoC access, Lots
of spells, Light and Dark monsters, etc

I really like the exploding spellbook idea in this
card
Pojo’s Rank: 4th
Mine: Not Ranked
I’ll explain why…. I kinda forgot about this card
XD. I was focused on some other cards that I thought
were worthy that I forgot about about Master. Woops!

Spellbook of the Master
Normal Spell
If you control a Spellcaster-Type monster: You can
reveal 1 other "Spellbook" card in your hand to
target 1 "Spellbook" Normal Spell Card in your
Graveyard, except "Spellbook of the Master"; this
card's effect becomes that target's effect. You can
only activate 1 "Spellbook of the Master" per turn.
Number 4 on our countdown of the Top 10 cards from
Cosmo Blazer is Spellbook of the Master a simple but
really powerful Spell Card. Have a Spellcaster and
another Spellbook and you can choose this card’s
effect from any “Spellbook” normal spell card in
your graveyard. This can be a powerful card mid to
late game and with no real cost.
Overall a simple but powerful card that should see a
lot of play in Spellcaster decks.
