Editing Card Tips:Toy Magician

* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Toy Box]]", "[[Toy Soldier]]", "[[Lyna the Light Charmer, Lustrous]]", "[[Shadow's Light]]", "[[Thelematech Clatis]]", "[[Dragodies, the Empowered Warrior]]", "[[Familiar-Possessed - Dharc]]", "[[Magician's Circle]]", "[[Spellbook of Judgment]]", "[[The Grand Spellbook Tower]]", "[[Spellbook Star Hall]]", "[[Lucky Loan]]", "[[Lemon Magician Girl]]", "[[Photon Veil]]", "[[Chaos Zone]]", "[[Summoner Monk]]", "[[Primathmech Alembertian]]", "[[Battle Royal Mode - Joining]]", "[[Vampire Dragon]]", "[[Resonator Engine]]", "[[Soul Rope]]", "[[Rescue Ferret]]", "[[Witch of the Black Forest]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Monsters|generic searchers]].

* 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. 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 a Rank 4 [[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 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.

* This card can work well in combination with "[[Magical Dimension]]" to special summon a stronger [[Spellcaster]]-type monster by surprise after your opponent destroys this card 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 works very well in an "[[Artifact]]" Deck.
