Spellcaster

Spellcasters usually represent beings that control magic or some other magical force, such as witches and mages. While the Spellcaster type isn't well supported as a whole, the majority of these creatures contain effects and can be very versatile Monsters, used often with support of Spell Cards. Many of the most well-known and powerful monster cards are Spellcasters. Also, most of the currently Forbidden or Limited monster cards are Spellcasters, including "Dark Magician of Chaos", "Magician of Faith", "Thousand-Eyes Restrict", "Witch of the Black Forest", and "Magical Scientist".

A high proportion of Spellcaster monsters are either LIGHT or DARK. Spellcasters are often the most prolific users of Spell Counters.

Archetypes include the Exodia cards, Fortune Ladies, Gravekeeper's, Dark Magician-related cards, the Charmers and their counterparts, and Pikeru and Curran-related cards. Spellcaster-Type LV Monsters include Allure Queen and Silent Magician.

They also have two of their own Structure Decks, Spellcaster's Judgment and the newest Structure Deck, Lord of the Magicians, which was originally released in OCG, but now has a TCG counterpart Spellcaster's Command, which was released in March 2009.

There are currently 3 Spellcaster-Type Synchro monsters: Tempest Magician released in Crossroads of Chaos, Arcanite Magician released in Crimson Crisis and Explosive Magician in Stardust Overdrive.
