Magical Incantation [WRITTEN]

[Slinky]

Magical Incantation

Normal Spell

Add 1 Level 4 or lower Spellcaster-Type monster from your Deck to your hand, except a "Forbidden One" monster. You can only use the effect of "Magical Incantation" once per turn.

 

Since y'know, spellcaster decks have a huge consistency problem due to not being able to search out key pieces, (Dark Magicians with Rod, Eidolons with Aleister, etc.)

I don't see a problem with this balance-wise-- it does stop you from searching pieces of Exodia. But I still feel like outright naming the archetype as excluded is a little on the nose, don't you think so?

 

Notable cards(and not necessarily currently relevant cards) that can be searched with this include:

Spellcaster monsters have been designed with them being unsearchable by generic means in mind. As a result, there's some pretty powerful stuff! I'm not sure how things would turn out if this was released, but be careful.
