From: Paul Graham
Subject: Cloudpaul's Top 10 Spellcasters

Any of you who know me (most don't) know I love my spellcasters. With the huge amount of Spellcasters out there let's have a look-see at my personal top 10


10 - Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier

An overlooked 2nd option for Gravekeeper's spy, often nudged out in favour of GK Guard. A serious pain in the you-know-where, this card has trampled many a Spirit Reaper.

9 - Old Vindictive Magician

Searchable. If anything, it'll keep your opponent at bay for a possible turn. Who wants to attack an apprentice only for the opponent to bring an old vinny out? Also, he's an old hermit. There's just not enough old hermit magician cards.

8 - Gravekeeper's Spy

Spear Soldier's big brother. Huge defence that would take a tribute monster or GAF/GEAF/Giant Orc to destroy, this is not likely to leave your field for

a while and with an effect like that, abusing book of moon seems like a tasty little option.

7 - Injection Fairy Lily

Situationable. Often too pricey. Still, you gotta love it. A fairy that somehow is classified as a spellcaster wielding a huge Syringe. Early game she is devestating. Really devestating. Late game she's a monster with 1500 def. That's about it.

6 - Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer

Oh, sure people don't wanna remove in fear of a return but it's:-
a) Beatstick
b) potential resource-burner
c) Sexy. Who doesn't love a man in a skirt?
Pretty much necessary in most spellcaster decks, the Return element is the sole reason this guy ain't top 3 in my list.

5 - Magical Marionette

Easily searchable, the man who tributes for this card is a fool. If it weren't for Magician's Circle I doubt he'd even be on the list. His effect has no limit and spellcaster decks run a heavy amount of spells. It's a match made in heaven.

4 - Breaker

In the top 5. Personal preference nudges it out of the top 3. It's beefy, it

has an effect that can be abused by apprentice (the little-known effect of
apprentice) and is instant beatstick m/t removal. Not bad, not bad.

3 - MoF

She's a necessity. The ability to bring back a spell is powerful and she's yet another search option for apprentice. With Creature Swap coming into power next format (i.e. tomorrow) she can be used, swapped for a more powerful monster, and destroyed.

2 - DMoC

Some say it's the 2nd best 2-tribute monster, behind SPoN. I say differently. I believe this spell-returning, rfg, 2800 sexy beatstick is easily the best 2-trib monster to have been released. Can your opponent use a Mobius' effect and ram it into DMoC? No. It's major drawback is the fact it removes itself, but thanks to RftDD that's no longer a huge problem.

1 - Apprentice Magician

No surprises here, eh? Thanks to the new ruling and new format this card just got a little bit closer to "broken". 2 Creature Swaps, effect that will

not be used by the opponent, a counter for those lovely counter cards like Breaker and Magical Marionette and a searcher for any level 2 spellcaster.
If this were stronger I think the excitement of this card would kill me.
It's only because of the next format and new ruling that I'm placing this card at the top. I'm sure something will come along to knock it back down, like Ha Des perhaps?

Yours,
