* You cannot activate this card's effect if you treat it as a Spell Card unless its destroyed by opponent's card effect and sent to grave; it remains face-down on the field until its from the field. So you need to be smart in how you play it, because it can be a great decoy to lure your opponent into wasting their [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] destruction cards before their big play or convincing your opponent to fire off the effects of "[[Judgment Dragon]]", "[[Demise, King of Armageddon]]", "[[Mobius the Frost Monarch]]", etc unnecessarily.
** If you're prepared for it, this can also lead into an excellent "[[Honest]]" counter-attack if your opponent attacks [["Toy Magician]]", as many players do not see this card used often and an aggressive player may disregard its LIGHT threat potential.
** Additionally it is possible to end up special summoning multiple copies of this card at once off your opponent's "[[Heavy Storm]]" or "[[Malevolent Catastrophe]]" play (or a similar destruction effect), which can lead to an [[Xyz Summon]] of four star [[Xyz Monster]].
* As a LIGHT [[Spellcaster]] monster, it can fit nicely into Chaos or Twilight specific Spellcaster decks.
** Combined with "[[Wonder Wand]]", you'll be able to turn it into a 2100ATK 2100 ATK monster, draw two cards when required and load up your graveyard for a "Chaos Sorcerer" or "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" special summon.
* A nasty (but admittedly situational) tactic is to use this card in a deck running "[[Secret Village of the Spellcasters]]" and "[[Royal Decree]]" to fool your opponent into wasting [[Effect Monster]] spell/trap destruction options on your "Spell & Trap Card Zone" to get easy special summons of "Toy Magician", while maintaining the requirement for "Secret Village of the Spellcasters".
** And if your deck is a stall deck running "[[Peten the Dark Clown]]" too as support, then you have LIGHT and DARK monsters ready for a "[[Chaos Sorcerer]]" or "[[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]]" special summon.
