Card of the Day - 10/23/2014 - "Paisley Magus"

Paisley Magus
Grade 0 / 4000 Power / Boost
United Sanctuary / Oracle Think Tank / Human
[AUTO]: When this unit is placed on (RC), if you have a vanguard with "Magus" in its card name, look at the top card of your deck, and put that card on the top or the bottom of your deck.

While I can't really call this card bad, it's... not really something that was too needed. The skill, while similar to that of CEO Amaterasu and Battle Sister, Cocoa, isn't really useful here. First, it requires a Magus vanguard (a whopping three Magus grade 3's currently exist), and second, it's a critical trigger. There should be no reason for you to be calling a critical trigger to rear-guard in an Oracle Think Tank deck unless it's Psychic Bird.

The only upside I can really see this card having is Pentagonal Magus's [Counterblast (2)-cards with "Magus" in its card name] cost. Currently, the Magus archetype only has two triggers, Lozenge Magus and Sphere Magus. Both of these are heal triggers, meaning you could only have 4 Magus triggers in a deck. This at least gives you another trigger that can be used with Pentagonal Magus's Counterblast.

On the other hand, if we end up getting significant Magus support in G-BT01, and if it ends up requiring Magus Counterblasts, then this trigger will be a godsend, along with any other Magus triggers we would probably get in that scenario. In fact, getting a new Oracle Think Tank trigger is a godsend anyhow, seeing as the last printed ones were in EB07, dating back to the time of Link Joker's first appearance.
