Card Tips:Magical Marionette
- This card can be searched by "Servant of Endymion", "Magister of Endymion", "Mythical Institution", "Mythical Bestiary", "Timestar Magician", "Dark Renewal", "Fool of Prophecy", "Reaper of Prophecy", "Temperance of Prophecy", "Justice of Prophecy", "Ebon High Magician", "Magician Navigation", "Magician's Circle", "Thelematech Clatis", "Dragodies, the Empowered Warrior", "Spellbook of Judgment", "The Grand Spellbook Tower", "Spellbook Star Hall", "Dark Horizon", "Lucky Loan", "Lemon Magician Girl", "Chaos Zone", "Imperial Princess Quinquery", "Rescue Ferret", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.
- Combine this card with a Level 2 Tuner monster to Synchro Summon "Arcanite Magician".
- "Spell Power Grasp" lets you thin your deck while giving you a second counter to destroy an opponent's monster with "Magical Marionette"'s effect.
- Another good idea is to just equip "Magical Marionette" with cards such as "United We Stand" or "Mage Power" to really give this card a boost in attack points. Each "United We Stand" card will give it at least 1000 Attack and each "Mage Power" will give it at least 700 Attack.
- Activate quick spells during the battle phase (i.e. Mystical Space Typhoon) to increase the ATK of this monster and win the battle (the quick spell itself does not need to have an ATK increasing effect). During your own battle step you can also reveal a Pitch-Black Power Stone and shift one of its counters to this monster to increase its ATK. This srategy can be used as well after summoning this card during battle phase with Magician's Circle. After the battle phase use the gained counters to activate the effect of this card.
Traditional Format
- A good strategy with this card would be to have both this and "Gearfried the Iron Knight" on the field, with "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" in your hand. When you play "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" and equip it to "Gearfried the Iron Knight", it will simultaneously destroy "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" and put a Spell Counter on "Magical Marionette". "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" then returns to your hand and you can repeat this, using "Magical Marionette"'s effect to destroy your opponents monsters and make this card's attack high enough to defeat your opponent with a single attack. "Royal Decree" or a similar card might help this strategy as well, to prevent the destruction of your monsters after wiping out your opponent's.
