Replace the word magic with spell and I think you have a pretty solid card. Good cost +  good reward

But there are magic cards. They are very similar to spell cards.

But there are magic cards. They are very similar to spell cards.

Actually, Magic Cards were the original name for Spell Cards, but was changed to Spell Card since it could have resulted in lawsuits. But if any of the old "Magic" cards appeared, they would have no differences from a Spell Card.

 

OT: Immediately, this card is comparable to The Tricky and Quickdraw Synchron, and this doesn't look very good when compared to those two (which is really bad considering The Tricky isn't even good anymore). Losing 1 card is cost enough, but this forces you to lose two of your valuable cards to Special Summon a monster that can't even be Normal Summoned or Special Summoned in other ways. And then we have the "depending-on-what-you-discard" effects. The first turns this into a 2500 beater. 2500 is a nice-ish ATK score, but not worth the cost, especially if this doesn't do anything else. The second one turns a Spell you discarded into Ookazi. Normally, Spells have much better uses than being discarded for a mere 800 damage, and if they don't, then you should be running better Spells.

 

There are two routes you can take to fix this. It depends on whether you want to lower the cost to one card like The Tricky or Quickdraw Synchron. The other is if you want it to continue to require 2 cards to discard. If you want to discard one, then change it to discarding one (obviously), and do away with the unnecessary Summoning restrictions. Change the "banish a Spell" effect to something much more useful - maybe it can destroy a face-up monster if it does so. The second, well, raise its ATK to the high-2000s, or even 3000. If you don't like the idea of giving the monster 600 more ATK after it already has such a high base ATK, then change it to something else. Effects that affect how many cards a player has in their hand/on the field are usually pretty good, but you could try other things.
