This deck is made ready to play, but in order to play it properly some practice with the spell counters will be needed. For starters, let's use the trap Pitch Black Powerstone for example. When this card is activated it automatically receives three spell counters. Once per turn you can take one off and place it on another target that can hold spell counters. The card Spell Power Grasp is another card that allows you to place a spell counter on a creature and it even allows you to search for another copy of the card from your deck and add it to your hand. The card Magical Plant Mandrogola allows you to place a spell counter on every card that can hold a spell counter on the field once it is flipped face up. These three card are very useful for any spellcaster deck that utilizes spell counters.
For some of the cards in this deck, just by simply using a spell card they will receive a spell counter. One of the most notable ones would be Magical Marionette. His attack is at a base of 2000 and each time a spell is used, by either player, he will receive a spell counter. To add onto that effect, for every spell counter it receives a spell counter it gains 200 more attack points. He also has a very useful ability to destroy any one monster on the field by simply removing two spell counters. Now if you'd like to use a monster that destroy just any card period, then there is Endymion, The Master Magician. Endymion can be special summoned by removing six spell counters from the field spell Magical Citadel of Endymion. When he is special summoned, you can add one field spell from your deck to your hand which is quite useful. By discarding a spell card from your hand to the grave, you can destroy any one card on the field. This effect can be exploited by using Endymion in conjunction with the card Magical Blast which can be found in the previous Spellcaster structure deck Spellcaster's Judgement. Magical Blast allows you to skip your draw phase and add it from your grave to your hand. When it is used, it will deal 200 damage to your opponent for every spellcaster on your side of the field. In other words, this card has more than one use.
There are many cards that have been released and that will be released that support spellcasters. This article just talks about a few of them, but that is because there are so many strategies the spellcaster's can use. There is even a lock-down strategy using the card Secret Village of the Spellcasters and Royal Decree. Secret Village of the Spellcasters prevents the activation of spell cards for the player who does not control a spellcaster on the field while Royal Decree prevents all players from activating trap cards. A strategy like this will cripple your opponents and limit the amount of actions they can perform. Since the spellcasters usually rely on spells, you will not be affected greatly by Royal Decree. Spellcaster's Command introduces many new cards and a lot of new strategies. With this structure deck the spellcaster's will be at your command.
