Today, we’ll be showcasing 2 all-new cards from Duelist Pack: Rivals of the Pharaoh that support Yugi’s Silent Magician from the final Duel of the classic animated series and allow you to take your favorite Spellcaster Deck in an all-new direction!

Silent Magician starts off with 1000 ATK and DEF, but instantly becomes a lot stronger as soon as she hits the field! You can only Summon Silent Magician from your hand by Tributing a Spellcaster-type monster, and you can’t Summon it any other way. Thanks to the Magician Girl monsters, Berry Magician Girl in particular, it’s easy to get a monster into play to Tribute for Silent Magician without depleting your hand. That’s important, because Silent Magician grows stronger based on the number of cards in your hand, gaining 500 ATK for each. This allows her to become an immediate threat and forces your opponent to deal with her.

Fortunately, destroying her won’t be so easy, since she can negate the activation of a Spell Card once during each turn! You can use this to stop anything from a simple Raigeki, to the activation of a Pendulum Monster as a Spell Card! The best part is that even if your opponent manages to destroy Silent Magician, you can Special Summon another “Silent Magician” monster from your hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions! The obvious choice is Silent Magician LV8, which is a 3500 ATK powerhouse that’s unaffected by your opponent’s Spell effects! With 3 incredible effects packed into 1 card, Silent Magician allows you to easily build a Deck around one of Yugi’s best monsters.

Our second card is Silent Burning, which allows each player to draw a massive amount of cards! To activate it, you’ll need to have a “Silent Magician” monster during the Battle Phase, and have more cards in your hand than your opponent. If you do, activate this Quick-Play Spell to allow both players to draw cards until they each have 6 cards in hand! Even better, the activation and effect can’t be negated, so you’re guaranteed to draw a ton of cards to make your Silent Magician climb to a whopping 4000 ATK!

Even though this is a symmetrical effect that your opponent should technically come out ahead on, you can easily rig it in your favour instead. Chaining Magical Dimension to Silent Burning clears your hand of 2 cards, giving you a much bigger payout when Burning resolves. You can even discard Kiwi Magician Girl to boost the ATK of your “Magician Girl” monsters, and allow yourself to draw more cards! It’s important to note that Silent Burning can be activated from your hand even if it is the extra card in hand you have over your opponent, which will result in you drawing the same number as your opponent. With that trick and the ability to quickly empty your hand during the same Chain, you can draw a ton of bonus cards!

Once Silent Burning is in the Graveyard, you can banish it to add 1 “Silent Magician” monster to your hand. Ideally, you’ll choose the new Silent Magician to allow you to get a strong monster into play quicker, and lead into Summoning Silent Magician LV8 again later! Silent Magician and Silent Burning can easily lead you into a strategy of their own, combining resilient, high ATK threats with tons of draw power and Spell negation. With all the recent support for Magician Girls, Dark Magician, and now Silent Magician, it’s never been easier to make a great Spellcaster Deck of your own! You can get Silent Magician and Silent Burning when Duelist Pack: Rivals of the Pharaoh releases on September 16th!
