Return of the Duelist Full Set Review 2

Sorry for the delay. I had fallen asleep after I got home and woke up this morning (thanks Benadryl) Moving on the review will be under the Read More link please press it for the review. OOPArts-Magical 12 card review please enjoy the Reviews and leave a comment if you have anything to say about it I'll gladly respond... if you have your own different review to supply for one of these cards I'll place it in the review. If you see any blaring mistakes that actually matter please inform me and I'll fix them ASAP.
FIRST CARD:
OOPArts Mayan Machine
EARTH
Level 3
Machine/Effect
If you Advance Summon a Machine-Type Monster, this card can be used as 2 Releases.
1500/700

Review: A level 3 Double Coston specifically for Machines... and within OOParts completely useless as none of their Machines require tributes at all. So this card will not be used within OOParts. But this cards uses are defined in its text. Tribute this for any big Machine... biggest Machine that you'd need to tribute for that actually is useful though would be something like Fiendish Engine Omega, Big SATURN, Perfect Machine King or hmm thats about it. This card is just pretty much useless.

NEXT CARD:
OOPArts Colossal Head
EARTH
Level 4
Rock/Effect
Activate this effect by removing from play this card in your Graveyard, and selecting 1 Level 3 or higher Attack Position monster on the field. The selected monster is changed to face-up or face-down Defense Position. The effect of "OOPArts Colossal Head" can only be used once per turn.
800/1600

REVIEW: One of the more interesting OOParts. You can use it as a way to reflip a Gravekeeper Spy or a Geargiarmor. You can also use it to flip an opponents monster to run it over. Note: This card is like Darkness Approaches... Face-Down Attack Position Please!!! enables one to kill Gantetsu/Zenmaines with a weaker monster. So its a nice Tsukuyomi that banishes itself from grave giving it utility being level 4 and a rock is just icing on the cake... I'd run this in Rock Stun with Rock Fall Area to allow my 1900 beaters the ability to beat out larger monsters. I'm going to give this card a shot when its on DN probably by tomorrow or Sunday.

NEXT CARD:
OOPArts Golden Shuttle
LIGHT
Level 4
Machine/Effect
Once per turn, you can activate this effect during your Main Phase. Increase the Levels of all "OOPArts" monster you control by 1.
1300/1400

REVIEW: Enables OOPArts to hit rank 5 and 6 Xyz summons. Note: if you control 3 of these you can make Rank 7 Xyz summons. This card is just really good for OOPArts and also in conjunction with Cyber Dragon one can make easy Sacred Pleadies, this being a Machine is just icing on the cake. I'm willing to bet I'm leaving out good plays with this card but hey I'm trying. This is a really nice Lord for OOPArts though. It makes your level 3 OOParts hit Rank 4 making OOPArts a really nice Xyz toolbox Archetype. Not much else to say here honestly.
NEXT CARD:
OOPArts Crystal Bone
LIGHT
Level 3
Rock/Effect
If your opponent controls a monster, and if you control no monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. When this card is Special Summoned this way, you can select 1 "OOPArts" Monster other than a"OOPArts Crystal Bone" in your Hand or Graveyard, and Special Summon it.
1300/400

REVIEW: One of the core OOPArts in the archetype. essentially a Cyber Dragon but even better a Cyber Dragon that can single-handedly make Rank 3 Xyz summons and is reliably searchable. Not to mention its LIGHT giving it more support akin to Cyber Dragon. This card is just great. Also use it to summon a Level 3 OOPart then normal summon OOPArts Golden Shuttle for an easy Rank 4 Xyz at the cost of two monsters. OOPArts stats though are quite weak so make sure to have a way to Xyz or tribute whenever this card hits the field... also in Monarchs this card is better than Cyber Dragon if you have an OOPArts in grave instead of Cyber Dragons inherent problems with Monarchs you get a monster that pluses before you tribute it. Quite nice if I say so myself.

NEXT CARD:
OOPArts Crystal Skull
LIGHT
Level 3
Rock/Effect
If you control a "OOPArts" Monster, you can activate this effect during your Main Phase by discarding this card from your hand to the Graveyard. Select 1 "OOPArts" Monster other than "OOPArts Crystal Skull" in your Deck or Graveyard and add it to your hand. The effect of "OOPArts Crystal Skull" can only be used once per turn.
900/600

REVIEW: Oh hey a level 3 OOParts oh and it just happens to be able to search for Cyrstal Bone. This is balanced by the fact that you must have a field to use its effect making summoning Crystal Bone not an immediate thing. Now a good use for this card is to if you Normal Summon Golden Shuttle use its effect to boost its level to 5... Discard this to search for OOPArts Moai who will be discussed next and special summon him to make a Rank 5 Xyz. It wasn't quite cheap but if you were able to do decent damage because of it then it was worth it. This can also search from your graveyard which is very useful for... Rock Fall Area... so OOPArts can use Rock support in a Rock oriented build. BTW this is a LIGHT monster meaning it receives all of that support.

NEXT CARD:
OOPArts Moai
EARTH
Level 5
Rock/Effect
If you control a "OOPArts" Monster, you can Special Summon this card in face-up Defense Position to your field.
1800/1600

REVIEW: Meh I control an OOPArts I can special this out. It's main purpose is to work with Golden Shuttle for rank 5's like Machu-Mach. Outside of Xyz Summons in OOPArts it is rather useless. Of course that doesn't mean its a bad card it just isn't free so doesn't really add anything aside from Rank 5 Xyz Access and possibly Rank 6 if Golden Shuttle lives long enough. It is a Rock though which makes it useful in some ways somehow and Earth. but its just not useful outside of OOPArts.

NEXT CARD: (I am Thou, and Thou art I, Thou shalt have my blessing when creating Persona of the Magician Arcana)
Magical Scrivener, Batel
WATER
Level 2
Spellcaster/Effect
When this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, you can add 1 "Book of Magic" Magic Card from your Deck to your hand.
500/400

REVIEW: First and foremost this card is a Book of Spell meaning it can be searched by Grimoire Book of Spell. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Book of Magic in TCG lol just to make it easier for readers to not get confused. This card in a Book of Spell based deck is quite nearly an instant include due to doubling as a Grimoire or even searching a Grimoire... Apprentice Magician can call this to the field and if it survives you can flip it on your turn for a Grimoire... Search another Batel... Normal that one and search for any other Book of Spell... Overlay for Gantetsu or any other Rank 2 monster. This turn you went from 5 cards to 6 cards and you now have a Gantetsu on field. The advantage generated overtime with Books of Spell is nuts. He's a WATER and searchable meaning in a Fortune Lady build one can effectively run Moray of Greed for a bit more hand fixing.  Great card is great I can expect to see this card used for a long time same with the rest of the Magicals as their usefulness in every facet of spellcasters in amazing quite possibly the best Type support of all time it's actually better support than DARK received in PTDN... Premature Burial, Spell Card ROTA, Stratos for Spells, Recycleable Horn of the Phantom Beast to grab other Spells, Pandemic Infection Infestation for Spellcasters.

NEXT CARD: (I am Thou, and Thou art I, Thou shalt have my blessing when creating Persona of the Lovers Arcana)
Magical Archer, L'Amour
EARTH
Level 3
Spellcaster/Effect
Once per turn you can activate this effect by Revealing 1 "Book of Magic" Magic Card in your hand to your opponent. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Spellcaster-Type Monster from your hand.
600/2000

REVIEW: Amazing oh and BTW I actually don't remember if that is correct at the top or not... haven't played Persona 3 FES or 4 in awhile. (My Persona 4 is scratched so freezes during fights... no true end for me... I wonder if Gamestop can fix it?). Anyway this card is really nice. All you need to do is reveal 1 Book of Spell and you get a better Summoner Sembell. 2000 DEF is nothing to scoff at either. I can still see myself, using this to spam out a Night's End Sorcerer. for a quick banish 2 and a Level 5 Synchro Summon. It also supports Xyz and if you have multiple copies in hand you can summon all of them from the same Book of Spell which is awesome. Its essentially Summoner Monk for the hand but less restricted by level and more restricted by type. Card can lead to awesomeness and is a way to special summon Fortune Lady Water, or Night's End Sorcerer. or any other Spellcaster from level 1-4 which is epic in and of itself. This card will find uses for years to come.

NEXT CARD: (Ha you thought I was gonna do it this time didn't ya? BTW Temperance Arcana)

Magical Summoner, Temper
EARTH
Level 3
Spellcaster/Effect
You can activate this effect by Releasing this card during the turn you activated a "Book of Magic" Magic Card during your Main Phase. Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher LIGHT or DARK Spellcaster-Type Monster from your Deck. During the turn you activated this effect, you cannot Special Summon other Level 5 or higher Monster.
1000/1000

REVIEW: The absolute best of the Magical monsters. He single-handedly supports so much that it is just nasty. And his art is very well detailed... well actually now that I look at the chest, waist and hair it's clearly female. She is just so disgusting... Use  Grimoire to search for Hygromanteia, Torah, or Necronomicon... Summon him use his effect for Junon or ANY other Level 5 or higher DARK or LIGHT Spellcaster in your deck... including your Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Delg the Dark Monarch,  Endymion, Sorciere de Fleur, etc...etc... so yeah play him in anything that wants a big caster out early especially Junon, who is going to be reviewed in two cards or so.

NEXT CARD: (Strength Arcana)

Magical Warrior, Fors
FIRE
Level 4
Spellcaster/Effect
Once per turn, you can activate this effect by returning 1 "Book of Magic" Magic Card in your Graveyard to your deck, and selecting 1 Spellcaster-Type Monster on the field. The selected monster has its Level increased by 1, and it gains 500 ATK.
1500/1400

REVIEW: Good with Agi Skills, and high Magic stats, weak against Bufu Skills... WAIT wrong game lol. This card is disgusting if used correctly. It can loop your Grimoire and Hygromanteia... turn 2 summon her... give her Hygromanteia... put it back to deck 3000 beater... kill something search Grimoire... end with 2000 ATK... next turn do it again for 3500.... next turn again for 4000... and so on. The longer she lives the stronger she gets all the while giving you pluses. She also has the potential to hit Level 5 and up the longer she lives... keep her for two turns... Temper>Dark Magician Girl Overlay for Magi Magi Magician Gal... Batel does it better though... will describe later.

NEXT CARD: (Chariot Arcana)
Magical Swordsman, Shario
WIND
Level 4
Spellcaster/Effect
Once per turn you can activate this effect by discarding 1 "Book of Magic" Magic Card from your hand. Select 1 Spellcaster-Type Monster in your Graveyard and add it to your hand.
1800/1300

REVIEW: heh heh heh... finally we can recycle Effect Veiler muhahahahahhahaha, in all seriousness this card is quite nice... it makes all your book of spells have the potential to be Spellcaster Returning Alive which is useful. Grab back a Veiler to piss off Rabbit moar (OCG of course). It's also a 2800 beater with Hygromanteia and can utilize the free search as a free discard for its effect. This card though won't be used much due to its cost... if it only said reveal
it would be extremely broken though so I guess it's balanced...

FINAL CARD: (High Priestess Arcana)
Magical Priestess, Junon
LIGHT
Level 7
Spellcaster/Effect
You can activate this effect by Revealing 3 "Book of Magic" Magic Cards in your hand to your opponent. Special Summon this card from your hand. Also once per turn, you can activate this effect by removing from play 1 "Book of Magic" Magic Card in your hand or Graveyard. Select 1 card on the field and destroy it.
2500/2100

REVIEW: I must admit I've only summoned her by her conditions one time and it was for gg most amazing top deck evar 3 Necronomicon no Casters in grave... top her murder monster swing for game. Anyway she is extremely powerful. She's also Tempers most advantageous target. Special her and you already have a Book of Spell in grave to utilize her effect. She is a Dark Armed Dragon once per turn that can be special summoned for free as if being summoned by Lonefire Blossom. It is just so disgusting... Temper becomes a plus... Grimoire to search 1 for 1... temper grab Junon 1 for 1... Junon pop backrow/monster 1 for 2 all of a sudden without any loss of advantage. next turn Necronomicon Temper... do it again. You can temper and Necronomicon in the same turn as long as the target is below level 5 before the Necronomicon boost. Will show that on the Necronomicon day.


That's all for today. I'll be back tomorrow with Madolce-Geargia.
