Mike B's Top 10 Spellcasters

 

These are 10 Spellcasters monster cards.  This list also follows the ban list, so that means no Injection Fairy Lily.  If you run Spellcaster, Dark Magician or Dark Paladin decks, then these are monsters that see frequent use.  Ill also be giving my review of the 4 Movie Promo cards to be released with the feature film this Friday.

 

10)  Chaos Command Magician
Attribute-Light, Type-Spellcaster  ATK=2400, DEF=1900 Level ******
Effect: Negate the effect of a Monster Card that specifically designates this 1 card as a target.

 

Nice card.  Not for all decks however.  Its effect is so-so, as to where it cannot be affected by a single monster effect, sich as Man Eater Bug, Newdoria or Zaborg.  for 6 stars and 2400 ATK is common.  Its light, so if you dont have any good light monsters for Chaos decks, then I suggest using him.  Not all too bad, but I'd definitley use either Jinzo or Airknight over him.

 

9)  Dark Magician Girl

Attribute-Dark, Type-Spellcaster  ATK=2000, DEF=1700 Level *****

Effect: Increase the ATK of this monster by 300 points for each "Dark Magician" or "Magician of Black Chaos" in either player's Graveyard.

 

Awsome card for people that run a pure Dark Magician Deck.  If all 3 DM's are in the graveyard, this ting has a solid ATK of 2900 for one Tribute.  DOwnside, her effect only applies to Dark magician and the ritual Magician of Black Chaos.  Since Black Chaos isnt out yet, she cannot fully reach her full potential.  She can be quite easily summoned, and can sometimes be lethal especially if you use Sages Stone in your deck.  Even if you dont use her in a deck, she's still highly wanted by collectors and pervs alike.

 

8)  Apperentice Magician

Attribute-Dark, Type-You already know   ATK=400, DEF=800  Level **

Effect: When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, put 1 Spell Counter on a face-up card on the field that you can put a Spell Counter on. If this card is destroyed in battle, you can select 1 Spellcaster-Type monster Level 2 or lower from your deck and Special Summon it on the field in face-down Defense Position.

 

A very good support card for magician decks.  Its effect has 2 plus sides to it.

1) Use its Counter and put it on a Skilled Dark Magician or Breaker.

2) When its destroyed, use it to get a Magician of Faith from the deck and set it facedown.

Alot of Spellcaster decks ive seen dont use these, and I ask myself why?  Pack 1 or 2 of these and they provide the support needed for spellcaster decks.  Like Night Assailants and Kuribohs help fiend decks, or Shinign Angels or Hysteric Fariys help fairy decks, this card should be in there to help Spellcaster decks.

 

7) Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer

Attribute-Dark, Type- Im not filling this in anymore  ATK=1800, DEF=700  Level ****

Effect: Each time this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent's Life Points, you can remove up to 2 cards in your opponent's Graveyard from play. In addition, as long as this card remains face-up on the field, your opponent cannot remove any cards in either Graveyard from play.

 

A good card for even non-spellcaster/Dark magician decks.  This card can hopefully find a place in almost everyones deck.  It puts a temperary stopper in chaos especially if you remove only monsters of 1 type.  Downside, 1800 ATK is somewhat weak in todays metagame.  It can easily get clobbered by a Gemini Elf, Breaker, Berserk Goriila, etc...

Not a bad card all-in-all though.  Side deck at least one if you dont already.

 

6)  Skilled Dark Magician

Attribute-Dark, Type--------   ATK=1900, DEF=1700    Level ****

Effect: Each time you or your opponent activates 1 Spell Card, put 1 Spell Counter on this card (max. 3). You can Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard in face-up Attack or Defense Position by offering this monster with 3 Spell Counters as a Tribute during your Main Phase.

 

A nice card, enough said.  It has 1900 ATK, which rivals most other beatdown monsters, and when 3 spell cards have been played, either by you or your opponent, you can sacrifice him to summon a Dark Magician.  The best combo Ive seen pulled with this has been, get 3 counters.  Special summon Dark Magician, then play Dedication through Light and Darkness to special summon Dark magician of Chaos.  The activate Monster Reborn or another Revival card to bring back Dark Magician.  then summon another monster and play Dark Magic Attack.  Almost instant win.  Awsome ccard that no spellcaster deck should be without.

 

5)  Dark Magician

Attribute-Dark, Type-Duh   ATK=2500, DEF=2100    Level *******

No effect.

 

Ah yes, the infamous Dark Magician.  Who dosent know about this guy?  He's everywhere, whether it be on clothes, signs, lunchboxes or even underwear.  Now with the release of Dark Magic Attack from AST, this guy is even more formidable than before.  Spellcaster decks saw a huge uprising after the release opf Magicians Force.  There re so many combos involving the Dark magciian that I cannot list them all here.  Awsome card if the deck built around him is good.

 

4)  Magician of Faith

Attribute-Light, Type------   ATK=300, DEF=400  Level  *

Effect: FLIP: Select 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard and return it to your hand.

 

A very nice card that Im sure almost every deck runs at least 1 of.  Since its Light, Ive seen most Chaos decks run 2 of these.  Its Sangan and Witchable.  Awsome card all around.

 

3)  Breaker the Magical Warrior

Attribute-Dark, Type--------  ATK=1600, DEF=1000   Level  ****

Effect: When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, put 1 Spell Counter on it (max. 1). Increase the ATK of this monster by 300 points for each Spell Counter on this card. Also, you can remove 1 Spell Counter from this card to destroy 1 Spell Card or Trap Card on the field.

 

Breaker, almost a new MST.  Im sure almost everyone runs this in their deck.  Heck, I run a fiend deck and I still use him.  Its that extra M/T removal that Im sure why he's so popular.  Combine him with Apprentice Magician and you can use his effect again.  Awsome card even if not for spellcaster decks.

 

2)  Dark Paladin

Attribute-Dark, Type------    ATK=2900, DEF=2400   Level  ********

Effect: "Dark Magician" + "Buster Blader" This monster can only be Special Summoned by Fusion Summon. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, you can negate the activation of 1 Spell Card and destroy the Spell Card by discarding 1 card from your hand. The ATK of this card increases by 500 points for each Dragon-Type monster on the field and in either player's Graveyard.

 

Ive seen so many decks based around him and I love it.  Now with King of the Swamp out, he can easily be summoned without weighing down your deck with Buster Bladers.  Not only does he get a powerup from Dragons, but he can protect himself easily from Spell cards by simply discarding a card.  Very nice card.

 

1)  Dark Magician of Chaos

Attribute-Dark, Type-------   ATK=2800, DEF=2600     Level *******

Effect:  When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, you can add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand. A monster that is destroyed by this monster as a result of battle is removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard. When this card is destroyed or removed from the field, it is removed from play

 

Ah yes, the versitale DMoC.  Ive seen alot of decks around that focus on him, whether it be Spellcaster, Dark Paladin or First Turn Kill decks.  His effects are deadly.  not only does every monster he destroys get removed from play, when hes summoned you get a Magic card back.  Frankly, I do have to admit, seeing him restricted will make me sad, but its for the better.  This guy can fit in almost any deck., just dump him with Graceful or anything then reborn him and get Reborn right back.

 

Alright, and for those of you who wanted to know what the movie cards are:

 

Blue Eyes Shining Dragon:

Attribute-Light, Type-Dragon     ATK=3000, DEF=2500   Level  **********

Effect:  This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by offering 1 "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" on your side of the field as a Tribute. Increase the ATK of this card by 300 points for each Dragon-type monster in your Graveyard. You can negate the effect of Spell, Trap, and Monster Cards that designate this card.

 

Well, since BEUD isnt out yet, theres no real use for this card yet.  When it does however, Blue Eyes decks might get a little boost, especially if they also release Cyber Stein.  Not much to be said.

 

Sorrceror of Dark Magic

Attribute-Dark, Type-Spellcaster   ATK=3200, DEF=2800  Level *********

Effect:  This card cannot be normal summoned or set.  This monster cannot be Specail Summoned except by offering 2 Level 6 or higher Spellcaster type monsters on your side of the feild as Tributes.  As long as this card remains Face-up on the feild, you can negate the activation of Trap cards and Destroy them.

 

Alright, personally, this is my favorite of the Movie promo cards.  This card also fits well in my Spellcaster top 10 list because of his effect.  He is like Jinzo, but you can choose whether or not to negate traps.  An awsome card, and not so difficult to get out.  If you use the Dark Magician/ Dedication through Light and darkness routine that I said, then hes no trouble to get out.  Or play Magical Scientist and DNA Surgery and speical summon 2 Level 6 fusion monsters.

 

Watapon

Attribute-Light, Type-Fairy   ATK=200, DEF=300   Level  *

Effect:  If this card is added to your hand from your deck by the effect of Monster, Magic or Trap Card, you can Special Summon this card to your side of the feild.

 

Meh.......I dont really know what to say.  It can give a minor boosts to Fairy decks that use Tributes like Guardian Angel Joan, etc...  I dont know what to say about it.  Its not really that good though.

 

Pyramid of Light

Trap Card

Effect:  If this face up card is removed from your side of the feild, destroy Andro Sphinx and Sphinx Telea on your side of the feild and remove them from play.

 

This card can seriously help out decks that will soon revove around the Sphinx Monsters.  If you use this then MST it while both Sphinxs are on the feild, then you can special summon that other Sphinx guy (I forgot the name).  It also gives the boost to the other Sphinx monsters while on the feild.  Yup......thats about it.

 

Well, there it is.  My Spellcasters and Movie card reveiws.  Ill be back again next week with my Top 10 um...........oooh........lets say.....Fairy cards, ok?  If you have any suggestions, questions, comments or if you just want to get ahold of me, my email is Dncerofear16@yahoo.com  So Email me whenever.  Feel free to ask me anything that you need to know.
