This information is considered old since Pendulum Call is back to 3. Also removing unnecessary capitalization. Playing style
==Playing style==
Usually opening off of the search and 1 turn protection effect of "[[Pendulum Call]]" Spell Card: "[[Dragonpit Magician]]" and "[[Dragonpulse Magician]]" both have [[Pendulum Scale]] effects to "Discard 1 Pendulum Monster" to Destroy destroy an opposing card on the FIeldfield. "[[Ebon Illusion Magician]]" can also use them as targets to [[Banishbanish]] any opposing Card card on the Fieldfield.
While opening off of "[[Wisdom-Eye Magician]]" was much the same: except, instead of "Dragonpulse", "[[Oafdragon Magician]]" is used as a Pendulum Scale to recovers "Wisdom-Eye" and be [[Special Summon|Special Summoned]] to recover a target for the "Discard 1 Pendulum Monster" effects mentioned above.
The last key component of this archetype, without speaking of combinations with other archetypes, is the three Tuner Monstersmonsters. "[[Tuning Magician]]" and "[[Nobledragon Magician]]" can both [[Special Summon]] themselves from the Hand hand or Graveyard. Potentially be used for two [[Synchro Summon|Synchro Summons]] each in the same turn.
The third Tuner Monstermonster: "[[Harmonizing Magician]]" Special Summons any other "Pendulum Magician" from the Deck but cannot be Pendulum Summoned from the Extra Deck and repeat it's its effect without the help of "Oafdragon". Summoning a Level 3-7 "Pendulum Magician" Monster monster that are, in turn, useful as Material for "[[Nirvana High Paladin]]" or "[[Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon]]".
Since "Pendulum Call" is Limited: "[[Sky Iris]]" for the "[[Odd-Eyes]]" and "[[Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer]]" are recommended to Add add additional Pendulum Scales. "Pendulum Call" can be recycled by the effects of "[[Enlightenment Paladin]]" and "Nirvana High Paladin".
"[[Performapal Skullcrobat Joker]]" can search any "Odd-Eyes", "Pendulum Magician" or "[[Performapal]]" when Normal Summoned and can be repeated by using "[[Majespecter Unicorn - Kirin]]" to Return "Skullcrobat" to the Handhand.
"[[Xiangsheng Magician]]" and "[[Timebreaker Magician]]" have the Monster monster removal effects for this archetype, 1-for-1 style each turn.
"[[Odd-Eyes]]" Monsters monsters are an asset for this archetype, "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" can search for the vast majority of "Magicians" by destroying itself in the Pendulum Zone and "[[Sky Iris]]" can search for additional Pendulum Scales for extra consistency.
"[[Xiangke Magician]]" has the highest ATK of all "Magician" cards and can Negate negate the effect of a LIGHT monster; this Monster monster (alongside Dragonpit Magician) is most often seen when this archetype is used to support "[[Dark Magician (archetype)|Dark Magician]]", "[[Odd-Eyes]]" and "[[Red-Eyes]]" archetypes that all have powerful Rank 7 Monstersmonsters.
"[[Nobledragon Magician]]" is usually used as support for "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" but can also be used with any Level 4 Monster to Synchro Summon "[[Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon]]", which in turn; can Special Summon a Pendulum Scale to extend a combo or usually make a Rank 7 play off of "Dragonpit Magician".
=== With "[[Supreme King Z-ARC]]" ===
The "'''Z-ARC Magicians'''" can also be used in the Deck as their Scales of 1 and 8 are within the normal range of the Magician archetype while being Level 4 at the same time. However they play rather a bit differently than the rest due to having a bigger focus on self-destruction, as well as the "[[Pendulumgraph]]" cards, both "[[Astrograph Sorcerer]]" and "[[Chronograph Sorcerer]]" and finally "[[Supreme King Z-ARC]]". Their monster effect upon destruction also force your opponent to think twice before Negating negating their Summon and destroy them, and thus, protect other Pendulum Summoned monsters. Also, any of your opponent's attempt of negating their effect and destroying the "Z-ARC Magcians" will only backfire as it can be activated again.
For notes on the [[Four Dimension Dragons]], see the "[[Odd-Eyes]]" archetype.
