There are Spellcasters and Spellcaster support that
didn't make this list that should have, and there
are some that shouldn't have that did. Today is the
latter. Slacker Magician is a Rank 1 XYZ Monster, a
Light attributed Spellcaster, with 200 attack and
2100 defense, who is XYZ Summoned with two Level 1
Monsters. She should be Rank 2, as it would be
easier to XYZ Summon, regardless of your Spellcaster
build (two Old Vindictive Magicians?)
Slacker Magician is a decent slacker, if nothing
else, as her name suggests. First, once per turn,
she isn't destroyed by Battle. A good thing, but
forces your opponent to destroy her via Magic/Trap
card, and/or Monster Effect instead of wasting two
attacks. The 2100 defense does come in handy, as
the 200 defense is essentially a liability, if only
to ignore Rank 1 there for a moment. Furthermore,
she does have some protection, personally...
Once per turn, by discarding an XYZ Material, if
targeted (note targeted) while face-up, by an effect
OR a card, said effect is negated, and if you are
successful in negating said effect/card, the card in
question is destroyed. That's welcome, but if you
weren't successful, either this card is destroyed,
or you're down an XYZ Material, and likely the prior
in this instance. She isn't bad, but I don't see
her being good enough to warrant much play.

Number 9 on our list has to have one of the
funniest names for a Yu-Gi-Oh card ever, Slacker
Magician. A Rank 1 LIGHT/Spellcaster type Xyz
monster. With 200/2100 ATK and DEF, and needs 2
level 1 monsters to Xyz summon. Once per turn,
Slacker Magician can't be destroyed by battle, but
with 2100 DEF, that's gonna take some work to get
over that wall. During either player's turn, when a
card or some kind of effect is activated and targets
this face up card, you can detach an Xyz material
from this card to negate that activation, if you do
destroy that card. Slacker works well with Xyz
Tribalrivals and Overlay Regen as well. It's kinda
hard to see a deck that can really fit this card, as
not many decks run a certian number of level 1
monsters, except maybe decks with Mystic Piper/Piper
Chaos. Slacker Magician is one hard card to get
around and great at stalling.
Hey guys welcome back to our
Top 10 cards for Cosmo Blazer! This next card is my
personal favorite and one the only cards that I
really wanted in this set- Slacker Magician!
Light/ Spellcaster/ Rank 1/ 100
ATK/ 2100 DEF
2 Level 1 monsters
“Once per turn, this card
cannot be destroyed by battle. During either
player's turn, when a card or effect is activated
that targets this face-up card: You can detach 1 Xyz
Material from this card; negate the activation, and
if you do, destroy that card.”
Finally, I’ve been waiting for
a Rank 1 XYZ that requires less than 3 xyz material
monsters. Decks that can easily make this cards are
Mystic Piper Decks and Monarchs because of Battle
Faders and Treeborn Frogs!
Let’s break down the effect:
A)It can’t be destroyed
by battle once per turn.
-This can provide a
good wall for a few turns and being able to absorb a
single attack makes this card that much better.
B)Detach 1 xyz material
to negate and destroy the effect of a card that
targets this card.
-A lot of cards in
this format target: Black Luster Soldier,
Dimensional Prison, Compulsory Evacuation Device,etc.
-Having this ability
also could preserve it’s longevity as well.
The only real thing that this
card has going for itself is that it can absorb one
attack and destroy anything that targets it. It’s
defense is decent. Anything under an xyz/sychro/lv5
monster can’t really do much to it.
Pros: Good Effects and easy to
make.
Cons: Low attack and decent
defense.

Welcome to the second day of Pojo’s top 10 countdown
of the best cards from Cosmo Blazar! Today we will
be talking about Slacker Magician, our very first
rank 1 two material monster!
Slacker Magician
Light, Rank 1, Spellcaster
2 Level 1 monsters
Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by
battle. During either player's turn, when a card or
effect is activated that targets this face-up card:
You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate
the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.
200/2100
A very interesting monster we have here. First of
all, I have to say that out of all the rank 1
monsters that we currently have, this is by far the
best one; simply because it only requires 2 monsters
to summon it. This can easily be done by Using
Kinka-Byo and revive a monster, or by blocking an
attack with Battle Fader and then summoning a level
1 monster the next turn. This card is great for
decks like Piper and Lavals(if you have no options,
block an attack with fader after drawing off of
Card-Car and normal tender the next turn).
So, we can see that it’s the easiest rank 1 to
summon, but why do we want to summon it? Well; it
basically acts like a Gachi Gachi or Zenmaines as a
tool to stall.
It avoids being killed by battle once per turn, and
it has a good sized defense to get over as well;
with 2100. Basically you will have to synchro/xyz/tribute
summon twice to get over the monster. Furthermore
you can protect it from targeting effects twice. So,
no Veiler, Fiendish Chain, Breakthrough Skill,
Raigeki Break, or other cards that would attempt to
target it.
Sadly though, many cards in the current game don’t
target, or at least the ones that slacker magician
would care about. Torrential, Dark Hole, and Warning
can still hurt her… though really; who is going to
play Warning on Slacker Magician?
In general, this card is great for making rank 1’s
and providing a good stall technique; however that’s
about all the card can do. It’s great for what it
does, but it isn’t amazing since it doesn’t have
that extra sting like Gachi, Zenmaines, or Masetroke
have.
Advanced: 3.5
It’s great in the decks that summon it! However, you
shouldn’t go out of your way to try and fit it in
Traditional 1.5
Summon it with Thousand Eyes Restrict!!...... ya no.
Better options here.

Ever seen XYZ Pillow Fight? It’s cute, I’ll give it
that. Not bad art at all.

Continuing our countdown this
week at #9 we have “Slacker Magician”
“Once per turn, this card
cannot be destroyed by battle. During either
player's turn, when a card or effect is activated
that targets this face-up card: You can detach 1 Xyz
Material from this card; negate the activation, and
if you do, destroy that card.”
I REALLY want like this card,
but until it finds its own niche, it will most
likely remain in casual decks. It has solid enough
base stats for a rank 1 XYZ, two awesome effects,
and gives you a use for any random level ones you
have floating around. That coupled with the fact
that it‘s a light spellcaster open a veritable
cornucopia of possible strategies to run her. Frogs,
fish, and many other casual decks all appreciate an
extra hand in maintaining a solid field presence and
fishborg-beat in general has badly needed something
like this to help maintain field presence. They now
have a use for the field of level 1’s they generate,
aside from just tribute summoning, or making one of
the handful of rather dull level 5 water synchro
monsters currently available. And, like yesterday’s
card, she can also benefit from “Honest”.
Overall this is a card with
solid potential and probably the best rank 1 to run
if you find yourself with an abundance of level 1
monsters hitting the field. I don’t really see it
being run outside of a casual deck at the moment,
but we all know frogs have already made one YCS top,
and who knows maybe after the next ban list they
might get the last nudge they need to break top tier
status again.
Will this card be responsible
for that? Who’s to say? But I think this is a card
to keep in mind moving forward as she has solid
potential.
Advanced: 3/5
Traditional: 2/5 (It combos well with “Sinister
Serpent” but not a lot of cards target in this
format)
Art: 4/5 I like the anime style they put on this
card, but she still looks so sad.

What up fellow yugioh fans shadowlaw bringing
another review to you. So kick back, put your
feet up and get ready for a review of Slacker
Magician. So let's see what this girl can do.
We have a rank 1 monster consisting of two level one
monsters. Not the hardest of requirements,
though I'm thinking of tier 1 decks that run lvl
ones. Anyways this card is as easy to get out
as using 2 lvl eaters. So we get for our
troubles a spellcaster (good support) with a
whopping 200 atk (woot) and a much more respectable
2100 def. Along with that our lazy magician
comes with a skill. Whenever she's targeted
you can detach a material and negate then destroy
whatever is targeting her. Now I really like
that effect. It's great protection and it
stops repeat and even one off effects. This is
really just a above average stall card. The
problem is your opponent is likely to know that and
as such won't be targeting your magician for
anything. The other effect is that once per
turn it can't be destroyed by battle which is
equally great. Now we already have one of the
best turtle cards of all time in zenmaines so which
is superior? I think that depends on the deck
you run but if your looking for a great stall card
and have the ability to make this easier than
zenmaines then go for it you won't be upset with
it's superior stall.
Ratings:
Traditional: 2/5 Hey it's light
Advanced: 3/5 better in decks that spam lvl ones
(I'm looking at you synchrons)
Art: 3.5/5 hey alchemic magicians need a break too
sometimes.

Okay today we have a card that
was on my personal top ten list for Cosmo Blazer. I
like this card because it’s good and also because I
LOVE WOMEN!!! Now this card comes in at number 9 on
this list and it is a card that some people have
been wanting to be released for a while now.Here it is!
This card is one of those cards
that may not seem so special at first glance.It has weak attack points at 200 and has a
good defense power of 2100.It also can’t be destroyed very easily which
is decent.What makes this card so good right now is
that it is the first rank 1 xyz that has been
released that requires only 2 level 1 monsters to
make.
Each of the other rank 1 monsters need 3 level 1
monsters.
Many decks may not be able to
play this card, but some decks like frogs, piper
chaos, and even skull servants can really make good
use of this card.It is pretty easy to summon this monster and
some decks may have a hard time going over this
slacker.
It is also nice that this card has been released as
a rare card so it will be pretty easy to get.
Advanced: 3/5
-In certain decks this card is
really good, but it may be outclassed if other good
rank 1 monsters get released.
Traditional: 2/5
-I can see this card as being a
decent xyz in this format but I’m not quite sure.It is a light monster and it can xyz with
monsters like magician of faith and destiny hero
disk commander.I may be rating slacker magician too low here
but I’m not quite sure.
Art: 3/5
This cards art is okay but
nothing too special.I’d say it’s average compared to other card
art.

Slacker Magician
Light/Spellcaster/Xyz/Effect/Rank 1/200/2100
2 Level 1 monsters
Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by
battle. During either player's turn, when a card or
effect is activated that targets this face-up card:
You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate
the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.
Number 9 on the POJO top 10 from Cosmo Blazer is
Slacker Magician; The first Rank 1 Xyz monster which
only requires 2 materials instead of the usual 3.
Slacker Magician’s effects are designed with one
propose to protect itself. First is the Gyroid “you
have to hit me twice in order to destroy me” effect
plus a protection effect against targeting effects.
Throw in 2100 DEF and this will be a tough
Spellcaster to crack. So if you play a lot of level
1 monsters and you want a wall, this is the card for
you.
