"[[Trickstar Reincarnation]]" will banish their banishes the opponent's entire hand face-down and lets them draw an equal number of new cards for them (which can also deal significant burn damage off of the effect of "Lycoris's" effect), eliminating the benefit of search cards and cards that activate in the Graveyard. * "Holly Angel" will prevent the prevents "Trickstar" monsters in her Link Points from being destroyed * . "Lycoris" can return them "Trickstar" monsters from the field to the hand to avoid other removal effects. ===Search To help facilitate the above strategies, "Trickstars" have immense searching and recovery reviving power===Which the archetype also has lots of.* "LightstageLight Stage" can search any of the "Trickstar" monsters on activation, * . "Candina" can search any "Trickstar" card, including herself, when Normal Summoned. This will often be "Lilybell," which you can then Special Summon, allowing you to promptly [[Link Summon]] "Holly Angel" or attack directly with "Lilybell" via its effect to recover a "Trickstar" card from the Graveyard. * "Lycoris" can return "Candina" to your hand to allow you to Summon her and search again* . "Reincarnation" can be banished from the Graveyard to Special Summon a "Trickstar" from your the Graveyard.===Recommended cards===
