 "'''Magician'''" ({{Ruby|魔|ま}}{{Ruby|術|じゅつ}}{{Ruby|師|し}}, ''Majutsushi''), also unofficially known as "'''Pendulum Magician'''", is an [[archetype]] that consists of both [[Spellcaster]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] used by [[Yuya Sakaki]] and [[Continuous Spell Card]]s used by [[Yusho Sakaki]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime. They first debuted in ''[[Starter Deck 2014]]'' with "[[Stargazer Magician]]" and "[[Timegazer Magician]]". The archetype is related to the "[[Odd-Eyes]]" and "[[Performapal]]" archetypes, both of which are also used by Yuya. 
Due to their Japanese names, a number of older cards, such as "[[Time Wizard]]" and "[[Night Wing Sorceress]]", also fall into this archetype. Also, several older cards, such as the [[Dark Magician (archetype)|"Dark Magician" archetype]] and "[[Magician of Faith]]", include "Magician" in their English names but are not part of this archetype. However, because ''TCG'' and ''OCG'' support for this archetype only works on [[Pendulum Monster]]s and Continuous Spell Cards, neither have been an issue.
==Members==
===Pairs===
Some "Magician" [[Pendulum Monster]]s are paired, with each member of a pair having the same naming scheme of the other but representing an opposing concept, and most of the time a [[Pendulum Scale]] that allows a wide range of [[Level]]s for monsters to be [[Pendulum Summoned Summon]]ed if placed with it. Additionally, each pair supports a particular [[Special Summon]]ing method.{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center"

===Z-ARCMagicians===Another group of These "Magician" [[Pendulum Monsters, usually Monster]]s are based on the [[Four Dimensional Dragons]] and "[[Supreme King Z-ARC]]". They are commonly called Z-ARC Magicians since they can be used more easily than their Dimension Dragon counterparts to [[Special Summon]] "Z-ARC Magicians" with "[[Astrograph Sorcerer]]" or "Four Dragon's Magicians[[Chronograph Sorcerer]]", are based on . With the exception of "[[Four Dimension DragonsSupreme King Gate Magician]]. They ", they are all [[Level]] [[Level 4 Monster Cards|4 monsters]] who each possess both an [[Attribute]] and a [[Pendulum Effect]] that mimics their respective Dragon's [[Monster effect|effect]] at the cost of [[destroy]]ing themselves, and are always treated as one of those Dragon's [[archetype]](except for "[[Performapal Celestial Magician]]"). They can also Summon their corresponding Dragon by using themselves and another appropriate monster as [[Materialmaterial]]. In tandem with "[[Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm]]", they can also Summon the "[[Supreme King Dragon]]" counterpartss.
The [[Pendulum Effects Effect]]s for the Scale 1 members are [[Trigger Effect|Trigger]]-based(except "Supreme King Gate Magician"), while the Scale 8 members are [[Ignition Effect|Ignition]]-based.{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center"

==Playing style==
Usually opening off of === "Magician" Pendulum Monsters ===As a Pendulum archetype, the "Magician" Pendulum Monsters aim to search and 1 turn protection effect their various members to set up [[Pendulum Summon]]s. The most notable of these is "[[Pendulum Call]]" Spell Card: which also protects "Magician" cards in the Pendulum Zones from being destroyed. Alternatively, "[[Dragonpit Wisdom-Eye Magician]]" and can be used instead "[[Dragonpulse Oafdragon Magician]]" both have is used as a Pendulum Scale to recovers "Wisdom-Eye" and be [[Pendulum ScaleSpecial Summon]] effects ed to recover a target for the "Discard 1 Pendulum Monster" to Destroy an opposing card on effects mentioned above. Because of the effect and activation requirement of "Pendulum Call", it conflicts with the FIeld. Pendulum Effect of "[[Ebon Illusion Magician]]Wisdom-Eye" can also so one must decide which one of both cards' effects to use them as targets to [[Banish]] any opposing Card on given the Fieldcurrent situation.
While opening off of "[[Wisdom-Eye Dragonpit Magician]]" was much the same: except, instead of and "[[DragonpulseMagician]]", both have [[Pendulum Scale]] effects to "Discard 1 Pendulum Monster" to destroy an opposing card on the field. "[[Oafdragon Xiangke Magician]]" has the highest ATK of all "Magician" cards and can negate the effect of a LIGHT monster; this monster (alongside "Dragonpit Magician") is most often seen when this archetype is used as a Pendulum Scale to recovers support "Wisdom[[Dark Magician (archetype)|Dark Magician]]", "[[Odd-EyeEyes]]" and be "[[Special Summon|Special SummonedRed-Eyes]] to recover a target for the "Discard 1 Pendulum Monster" effects mentioned abovearchetypes that all have powerful Rank 7 monsters.
The last key component of this archetype, without speaking of combinations with other archetypes, is the three Tuner Monsters. "[[Tuning Xiangsheng Magician]]" and "[[Nobledragon Timebreaker Magician]]" can both [[Special Summon]] themselves from have the Hand or Graveyard. Potentially be used monster removal effects for two [[Synchro Summon|Synchro Summons]] this archetype, 1-for-1 style each in the same turn.
The archetype has three Tuner monsters. "[[Tuning Magician]]" and "[[Nobledragon Magician]]" can both Special Summon themselves from the hand or Graveyard, potentially allowing them to be used for two [[Synchro Summon]]s each in the same turn, althought the latter is restricted to be used for Synchro Summoning Dragon monsters only and it caters as support for the "[[Odd-Eyes]]" archetype. The third Tuner Monster: and perhaps the most important member of the archetype, "[[Harmonizing Magician]]" , Special Summons any other "Pendulum Magician" from the Deck but if it is Pendulum Summoned from the hand, allowing additional plays though the Summoned monster gets banished if it leaves the field (except Xyz Summons). It cannot be Pendulum Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and repeat it's thus requires a retrieval effect without the help of such as "Oafdragon". Summoning a Level 3-7 "Pendulum Magician" Monster that are, in turn, useful as Material for "[[Nirvana High Paladin]]" or "[[Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon]]".
Since "Pendulum Call" is LimitedThe archetype's Extra Deck support includes: *"[[Sky IrisTimestar Magician]]" for : Can search or recycle DARK Spellcaster monsters and protect Pendulum Monster cards on the field.*"[[Odd-EyesEnlightenment Paladin]]" : Can recycle a Spell if it is Synchro Summoned using a "Magician" Pendulum Monster, and *"[[Performapal Pendulum SorcererMagician of Hope]]" are recommended to Add : A direct member of the archetype which can Special Summon additional Pendulum Scales. "Pendulum Call" monsters from the hand and can be recycled by negate attacks while on the effects of "[[Enlightenment Paladin]]" and "Nirvana High Paladin"Pendulum Zone.
==== With Supreme King and "Pendulumgraph" ====The "'''Z-ARC Magicians'''" consisting of "[[Performapal Skullcrobat JokerPurple Poison Magician]]", "[[Black Fang Magician]]" can search any , "Odd-Eyes[[Double Iris Magician]]", "Pendulum [[White Wing Magician]]" or , "[[PerformapalSupreme King Gate Magician]]" when Normal Summoned and "[[Performapal Celestial Magician]] can also be repeated by using 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]]", "[[Supreme King Z-ARC]]"/"[[Majespecter Unicorn Odd- KirinEyes Arcray Dragon]]" and its related [[Supreme King]] series. The first four "Magician" cards are also treated as an archetype that the [[Four Dimensional Dragons]] are members of, allowing them to be used by "Astrograph Sorcerer" or "Chronograph Sorcerer" to Return Special Summon "SkullcrobatSupreme King Z-ARC" . Besides this shared effect, "Astrograph Sorcerer" and "Chronograph Sorcerer" both have effects that Special Summon themselves from the hand while also gaining further advantage which trigger upon a card on their user's field being destroyed. They both also share a similar Pendulum Effect of destroying themselves to either Special Summon or place a "[[Stargazer Magician]]" or "[[Timegazer Magician]]" onto the HandPendulum Zone.
"[[Xiangsheng Purple Poison" can grant DARK Spellcaster monsters gain additional ATK if they battle an opponent's monster and if destroyed, it can destroy one face-up card on the field. "Black Fang" can halve an opponent's monster's ATK and upon destruction, it can revive a DARK Spellcaster monster from the GY. "Double Iris" can make a DARK Spellcaster monster deal double battle damage if they attack a monster and can search a "Pendulumgraph" card upon its destruction. "White Wing" can protect other DARK Spellcaster at the drawback of destroying itself but having no effect upon its destruction though it serves as a Tuner. Finally, "Supreme King Gate Magician]]" and can either place a "[[Timebreaker MagicianSupreme King Gate]]" have card in the Monster removal effects for this archetypePendulum Zone, 1or Special Summon itself to allow its user to search a card that supports "Supreme King Z-for-1 style each turnARC".
The Pendulum Effects of the "[[OddZ-Eyes]]ARC Magicians" Monsters are related to the Four Dimension Dragons grant an asset for this archetypeeffect before destroying the "Magician" monsters themselves, allowing their monster effects to trigger although their destruction can or will be prevented if "Timestar Magician" is present or if "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]Call" can search for the vast majority is activated beforehand respectively. Their monster effect upon destruction also force your opponent to think twice before negating their Summon and destroy them, and thus, protect other Pendulum Summoned monsters. Also, any of your opponent's attempt of "Magicians" by negating their effect (or their activation) and destroying itself in the Pendulum Zone and "[[Sky Iris]]Z-ARC Magcians" will only backfire as it can search for additional Pendulum Scales for extra consistencybe activated again.
"Performapal Celestial Magician" allows various useful effects to apply depending on the monster card types the user controls on the turn it is Normal or Special Summoned which can include a search of any Pendulum Monster at the end of the turn, provide itself an ATK boost, attack directly or prevent the opponent from activating monster effects. While on a Pendulum Zone, it can revive a Fusion, Synchro or Xyz Monster that gets destroyed. The "Pendulumgraph" archetype (namely "[[Star Pendulumgraph]]" and "[[Xiangke MagicianTime Pendulumgraph]]" has ) serve as additional support for the highest ATK "Magician" archetype. "Star Pendulumgraph" searches any "Magician" Pendulum Monster if another monster of the said archetype leaves the field thus synergizing well with the self-destructing effects of all the "Z-ARC Magicians" and "Wisdom-Eye". "Time Pendulumgraph" is a powerful disruption/removal tool which can destroy one "Magician" card on the user's field and one card on the opponent's field and if two cards and are not destroyed, another card on the field can Negate be sent to the effect of Graveyard, without targeting or destroying them. This becomes a LIGHT monster; this Monster one-for-two removal (alongside Dragonpit when destroying "Purple Poison Magician") is most often seen when this , or a free two-card removal (by having "Pendulum Call" activated beforehand or controlling "Timestar Magicain"). In addition, both of these "Pendulumgraph" cards also grant targeting protection to Spellcaster monsters from Spell or Trap card effects. ====With "Odd-Eyes" and "Performapal"====The "Magician" archetype is used to support shares synergy with the "[[Odd-Eyes]]" and "[[Dark Magician (archetype)|Dark MagicianPerformapal]]", archetypes. "Odd-Eyes" monsters are an asset for this archetype as "[[Odd-EyesPendulum Dragon]]" can search for the vast majority of "Magicians" by destroying itself in the Pendulum Zone and "[[RedSky Iris]]" can destroy cards and search for additional "Odd-Eyes" cards for extra consistency. The "Odd-Eyes" Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Monsters (especially "[[Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon]]" archetypes ) are usually the final monsters that all have powerful Rank 7 Monsters"Magician" decks can end on.
"[[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-ARCPerformapal Skullcrobat Joker]]" ===The can search any "'''ZOdd-ARC Magicians'''Eyes" 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]]Pendulum Magician" cards, both or "[[Astrograph SorcererPerformapal]]" when Normal Summoned and can be repeated by using "[[Chronograph SorcererMajespecter Unicorn - Kirin]]" and finally to return "Skullcrobat" to the hand. "[[Supreme King Z-ARCPerformapal Pendulum Sorcerer]]". Their monster effect upon destruction also force your opponent is recommended to think twice before Negating their Summon and destroy them, and thus, protect other add additional Pendulum Summoned monsters. Also, any of your opponent's attempt of negating their effect and destroying Scales as well as triggering the "Z-ARC Magcians" will only backfire as it can be activated againdestruction.
For notes on ==== Other additions ====As with other Pendulum-based archetypes, the "[[Dracoslayer]]" archetype can be used with this Deck, with "[[Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer]]" or "[[Master Pendulum, the Dracoslayer]]" destroying the "Magician" monsters to trigger their effects abd serve as the main components to Summon their Extra Deck members: "[[Four Dimension DragonsIgnister Prominence, the Blasting Dracoslayer|Ignister Prominence]]", "[[Majester Paladin, see the Ascending Dracoslayer|Majester Paladin]]", and "[[Odd-EyesDinoster Power, the Mighty Dracoslayer|Dinoster Power]]" archetype. All three of those monsters provide support to Pendulum Monsters by destroying Pendulum cards to return other cards to the Deck, searching out Pendulum Monsters from the Deck, and protecting Pendulum cards from being destroyed by the opponent, respectively.
=== Other Additions ===As with other The "Magician" Pendulum-based archetypes, the Monster archetype greatly benefits from "[[DracoslayerDuelist Alliance (card)|Duelist Alliance]]" archetype as it can be used with this Deck, with "[[Luster Pendulum, search any key cards of the Dracoslayer]]" or "[[Master Pendulum, the Dracoslayer]]" being the main components to Summon their Extra Deck counterparts in "[[Ignister Prominence, the Blasting Dracoslayer(archetype)|Ignister ProminencePendulum]]", archetype that supports "[[Majester Paladin, the Ascending Dracoslayer|Majester Paladin]]Magician", and "[[Dinoster Power, the Mighty Dracoslayer|Dinoster Power]]". All three of those monsters provide support to Pendulum Monsters by destroying Pendulum cards to return other cards . Due to the Deckeffects of various members of the archetype, searching out Pendulum Monsters from the Deck, and protecting "Magician" Pendulum cards from being destroyed by the opponent, respectivelyMonster archetype also caters well with DARK Spellcaster monsters in general.
As per the [[Master RulesRule#New Master Rules|New Master Rules]], "Pendulum Magician" are now drasticallty devastated is nerfed with the usual power of [[Pendulum Summon]] greatly limited without [[Link Monster]]s and only up to 3 Spell/Trap cards Traps to use (as the 2 Zone other two Spell/Trap Zones are also Pendulum Zones). Combined with the 2 two "Pendulumgraphs", the Player player may only use up to 1 Spell/Trap card Card at a time. But The deck must now be reliant on swarming more bodies to the Master Rule also enhance the destruction power of "field for a [[Timebreaker MagicianLink Summon]]" and (useful choices including "[[Time PendulumgraphBeyond the Pendulum]]or ", which can now completely breaks the opponent's [[Linked|LinkHeavymetalfoes Electrumite]]") before Pendulum Summoning them all back, and may consider recurring "Magician" Pendulum Monsters from the face-up Extra Deck to the worst extent, hand such as those of "Oafdragon Magician's" Pendulum Effect and "[[Extra LinkAmazing Pendulum]]".

=== "Magician" Continuous Spells ===
The "Magician" archetype of Continuous Spells do not directly synergize with the "Magician" Pendulum Monster archetype but have disruptive effects that work with Spellcaster monsters in general. The two "Magician Hand" cards both negate the first card/effect of a specific card type activated by the opponent during each turn while the user controls a Spellcaster monster; "[[Magician's Right Hand]] negates Spells while "[[Magician's Left Hand]]" negates Traps. "[[Magician's Restage]]" can revive a Spellcaster monster from the Graveyard once though it can search out another "Magician" Continuous Spell if "Restage" is sent to the Graveyard. They are also supported directly by "[[Performapal Sky Magician]]", which on a Quick Effect can return a Continuous Spell from the field to the hand and can activate a "Magician" Continuous Spell from their hand. This can be used to reset the once per turn/once while on the field usage of the cards, allowing the "Magician Hands" to negate another card effect once more or revive another Spellcaster monster with "Restage".
==Trivia==
* All "Magician" [[Tuner monsters monster]]s are female.
