Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal is a XYZ Monster with a rank of six. She requires two level six spellcasters for her XYZ Summon. This monster has stellar artwork, and she resembles the Dark Magician Girl in black attire. Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal has two effects and 2,400 ATK. This card has not been released in English.

Unfortunately, Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal is only available in the Japanese format at the time of this post. The card’s artwork is the reason for its absence in the English format. I hope Konami will release this XYZ monster for all players.

Inspiration:

Dark Magician Girl is one of the most popular monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh!. Konami decided to recreate the popular spellcaster as an XYZ monster. Therefore, Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal became a promo card for Japan. Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal has a similar design to Dark Magician Girl.

First Effect:

Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal takes control of an opponent’s monster for a single turn. You must take full advantage of your control over this monster. This effect enables many strategies. You can use the monster for a tribute. You also have the option to declare an attack with it.

I recommend using the monster for a tribute or a resource to pay the cost of an ability. You only have this card for a single turn. You will get the most benefits from a tribute, and you will summon a powerful monster.

Second Effect:

Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal special summons one monster from the opponent’s graveyard. You can instantly get a powerful monster for your side of the film. This card can be used in a number of ways. The monster can attack the opponent, and you may use the monster as material for summons.

Furthermore, this effect provides a major advantage against opponents with the same deck or a deck with spellcasters. A deck with Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal is most likely playing spellcasters. Therefore, you gain momentum from this effect. You can use the opponent’s monsters for resources and the opponent’s monsters may have synergy with your cards.

Support for Spellcasters:

Spellcasters have a lot of support for Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal. She fits in many decks for her type of monster. Spellbooks and generic cards have synergy with this XYZ monster.

For example, Spellbook of Wisdom provides protection for Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal. Every monster in the game needs protection. The opponent is unable to affect her with spells or traps. You maintain this XYZ monster, and you have the opportunity to activate one of her effects.

Play these cards with Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal!

A Better Option:

You gain an advantage when you take control of an opponent’s monster. However, spellcasters have a better option for this effect than Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal. You spend a lot of resources for Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal’s effect, and she only allows you to have the opponent’s monster for a single turn.

The best option for spellcasters is Number 11: Big Eye. You have permanent control of the opponent’s monster with Number 11: Big Eye’s effect. You also spend less resources for this effect as well.

Card Rating:

Overall, Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal is a decent card with fantastic artwork. This monster has good effects, and you gain nice advantages from her effects. Spellcasters have a better option in Number 11: Big Eye. Competitive decks are unlike to play Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal. I only recommend Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal in casual decks for spellcasters.

Card Rating: [usr 3.5]
