Hey ppls,
 
I wanted to bring up a very useful yet underused card : Magical Marionette.  This card is a common from the magicians force set so its not too hard to get one.  I run two of these in my deck and i've pulled off awesome combos with it.
 
1. I'm sure everyone has heard of or seen the marionette/gearfried/butterfly dagger combo.  It's a pretty effective combo, givin that u can pull it off.  I have done so a few times.  But i usually don't rely on it.  If i do use it i make sure i heavy storm/HFD first.
 
2. Most people overlook the power of it's second effect of destroying any monster by removing 2 magic counters.  Beatdowns tend to run a lot of magic and are therefore at a disadvangtage to this card.  All you need is some magic/trap negation to save this monster long enuff for it to power up.
 
3. This third little move involves double spell.  In the late-game scene, get magical marionette on the field and play double spell (theres one spell counter) then bring back your opponents spell card (preferable Graceful Charity or PoG, but u could also get monster reborn and so on) play it (theres two counters!).  then if u get any magic from PoG or Graceful, use them!.  Clear your opponents field and attack directly.
 
i love this card. it saved my @$$ on several occasions and it fits nicely into my Dark  Spellcaster/fiend deck.  so look into this card.  It's an asset with a good deck built around it.
