• You cannot activate Toy Magician's effect if you treat it as a Spell Card, it remains face-down on the field until your opponent removes it from the field to the graveyard. 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.
• This card can work well in combination with Magical Dimension to special summon a stronger Spellcaster-type monster by surprise after your opponent destroys Toy Magician while it is face-down in the Spell & Trap Card Zone.
  • As a bonus you'll also potentially destroy one of your opponent's monsters too off Magical Dimension's second effect, which can't be stopped by Stardust Dragon as it is an optional destruction effect.
• This card can be searched via "Witch of the Black Forest" and "Magician's Circle".
