Hey, everyone! This may be a pretty broad question, but I am looking for a little help. I'm looking to get back into the Yu-gi-oh TCG after being away for about six years. I always loved the spellcaster cards, and after searching through the internet it looks like you can still make a mean spellcaster deck. The only thing I don't totally understand is what cards are legal. I'm not a pro and have been away so long that when I go to the website and they just list off a bunch of boosters and deck builders as legal I don't really know what is what. If I was to make a spellcaster deck I could still include classics like dark magician, dark magician girl, sorcerer of black chaos blah blah blah, you get it. So, if anyone could give me a heads up on what cards are legal right now, or even a link to a couple examples of spellcaster decks that would be fantastic! Sorry if this is hard to answer or in the wrong place, or, whatever. Thanks in advance.

Spell Counters

Well, I assume its safe to say that Dark Magician is out of date, but not totally useless. Spell Counter Deck, is a nice example of a pretty good spellcaster deck. There's a bunch of support for spell counters and cards that use them. Hope it helps. --Skyhawk01 (talk • contribs) 03:29, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Another idea is Secret Village of the Spellcasters-Gemini, using the village, & the spellcaster gemini monters as well as other support ones, for an anti-meta control build, which can also run Chaos Sorcerer-Resk (Talk) 10:44, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

The fantastic "Tsukoyomi" and "Magician of Faith" are illegal, as are the two main Chaos cards (Spellcasters are good with Chaos). If you want to make a Spellcaster deck, you should go for either a Lockdown or Spell Counter deck.BobaFett2 (talk)


Spellcaster's Command

Alright then, thanks for the advice! I've been looking around and so far it looks like the best bet would to be buy the spellcaster's command structure deck and work from there. all these cards are legal to my understanding and I can get a cheap start to a good deck. if anybody could comment and let me know if that plan is sound, that would be great. By the way, how does spellcounter fare in the meta-game right now?

Well, a better idea would be to buy 2-3 of the Structure Deck: Spellcaster's Command, as that gets you 3 of all the cards you need (almost), as for in the current meta, they're never seen, as they need to establish, other than the (very rare) FTK builds-Resk (Talk) 10:52, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

correction

Magician of faith, Tsukuyomi, and Dark Magician of Chaos aren't illegal. the guy who posted above doesn't know what the difference between illegal and banned is. banned means they're not allowed in advanced format tournament play. there exists a format known as traditional in which there's no banlist. the banned cards are treated as limited in traditional. illegal means the card has the words "this card cannot be used in a duel" printed in the corner. the banned cards are 100% tournament legal, just not in the more popular format. if you want to run them in casual, go ahead. some people will flip out at seeing a magician of faith. if they do, they have no life and aren't worth playing with if you want to have fun.

Dark Magician is a very uncommon theme in today's game. it borders on novel. however, if you know what you're doing, Dark Magician decks CAN take down metagame decks. it won't be 100% consistent, but it can work.

as mentioned, spell counters are the way to go if you want a more general spellcaster deck. in magic the gathering we'd call it tribal.

some useful cards...

there must be more i'm not thinking of. i just had my traditional spellcaster deck stolen this week, so i'm incredibly angry over that. at least i still have my mains. i'll let you know if i think of any more.

Actually-I do know what Traditional Format is. I just used the wrong word.BobaFett2 (talk)
