And after an absence of waaaaaaay too long due to film production and work, I am back with a review of the second Magic Pet monsters (The first was Magicat). As far as stats go it is a 1700 ATK and 1000 DEF level 4 LIGHT Spellcaster. These stats are pretty good, as LIGHT monsters are the second best ATTRIBUTE and 1700 ATK on a 4 star is about average.

The effect is actually not very good. When you Synchro Summon a monster using this little pup, you get to add one Field Spell card from your graveyard to your hand. While useful in that it gives you cards, there are easier ways to get advantage in this game. It is better to use cards like Destiny Hero Malicious, Sangan and Goblin Zombie for Synchro Summons as you can build a deck around them and they get you monsters, which are more important than a spent Field Spell.

It is a Spellcaster, so it might find a home there with Magical Citadel of Endymion. At that point however, you would probably rather have Terraforming to power up an on field Citadel and it is situational in that you do have to Synchro Summon.

This is just not e very good card. It would have been good I think even if it had said Field, Continuous or Quickplay. Then it would see play. As far as I am concerned, the decks that would use this have better options and therefore it is not a good card by any means.

Magidog:

Well, here we have some spellcaster support (finally)! With 1700 ATK and a LIGHT attribute (meaning Honest works), this card is looking OK already. The effect is interesting. When it goes to the Grave for a spellcaster synchro (Arcanite or Tempest Magician so far) you get to add a Field Spell to your hand. This means if you send it and a level 3 tuner, or it and a level 2 tuner, you get your big boss monsters PLUS an extra Spell Counter resource (Magical Citadel of Endymion). Seems like it could be useful in spellcaster deck, however, spellcaster decks aren't all that good anymore. Maybe use it in a LIGHT beatdown hybrid, but you aren't going to see this being used competitively, sorry.
