How to use this deck

Summoning

Summoning Marionette is the key to this deck, since it allows you to easily destroy your opponent's monsters during your turn. Due to its low defense, it's often recommended to just use the spell counters, and use your other cards to help summon more.

  • Magician's Circle can be used when you attack with your spellcaster-type monsters, but this will also let your opponent summon a spellcaster monster if they have one in their deck. This can only be used if both players have an empty monster zone, even if your opponent does not have anything to summon.
  • Legion the Fiend Jester helps with summoning Marionette. Since it can be tribute summoned in a turn, this will make the deck run faster.
  • You can summon a Mythical Beast Cerberus and either protect it with spells, or add spell counters on it on your turn to increase its attack, which can then be used to stall the duel so you can tribute summon Marionette. Attacking, or getting attacked with Cerberus will remove its spell counters.

Spell Counter

Increasing spell counters can be slow, but there are some spell counter supports that can help speed up the process.

  • Magical Citadel of Endymion's effect is useful for storing some spell counters, which is mostly used for Marionette, but using Murmur of the Forest will remove all spell counters. Endymion, the Master Magician isn't used in the deck since it's difficult to summon, making it a dead draw more often than not.
  • Pitch-Black Power Stone is for a guaranteed way to add spell counters to anything that you can add it to. If you have Citadel active on the field, destroying Power Stone will give the leftover counters over to Citadel.
  • Skilled Red Magician isn't used to summon an archfiend, but more for its second effect, which can be activated in the graveyard to add a counter for Marionette.

Support

Since the deck uses spells to add spell counters, use spell cards that can be used both offensively, and defensively to benefit from them.

  • Murmur of the Forest flips your targeted monster face down, and returns your field spell. This will mean that you can get 2 spell counters with 1 spell, and most monsters often have low defense, making this really useful for taking down certain monsters as well.
  • Since Enemy Controller can be used defensively, or offensively to attack your opponent, this makes it a very versatile card. You can even add in 3 in the deck, and it can still be useful.
  • Similar to Enemy Controller, Half Shut is good for offensive and defensive purposes. You want your monster to survive attacks so you can tribute summon into Marionette, but targeting your opponent can also damage them as well, and this is a quick-play spell that can be used during damage step.

Consider using this instead of Magician's Circle if you have multiple copies. You won't be able to attack, but you can use Marionette's effect to keep destroying their monsters.
Demise of the Land
Demise of the Land
Has potential to be useful to get Citadel early, especially when used together with Magician's Circle, and special summoning monsters are common.
Eliminating the League
Eliminating the League
The deck contains a lot of spell cards, and this can be used during your opponent's turn, allowing you to destroy their monster by surprise.
Storm

Using Marionette's effect to destroy your opponent's monster, you can use storm to clear your opponent's backrow, which can prevent your opponent from stopping your attack.
Nobleman of Extermination
Nobleman of Extermination
Forces your opponent's spell/trap, and you don't have to be very conservative about it, compared to cards like Enemy Controller.
Dark Magician

Dark Magician can be searched by Legion the Fiend Jester, but can also be special summoned using Miracle Restoring.

if unsure, add 3 mirror walls. 3 mirror walls makes any deck viable!

HA HA I am happy to report wonderful news!

I went from Silver 1 to Gold 1 with my Magical Marionette deck!

I got 50 gems for reaching Gold 1.
It makes me happy!

I played the Magical Marionette for temporary until I was able to get Vampire Lord.

I got to Platinum 1 with the deck.
Than I ended up getting enough Gem's to acquire a copy of Vampire Lord.

Once, I got Vampire Lord.
I stopped playing the Magical Marionette deck.
I simply had different interest.

I don't know if the example deck is viable. I never tried it.

I made my own deck.
The deck I made can be very deadly.

I was KOG.
However, the ladder reset me to Silver 1 for new season.

I am going to use my Marionette deck for fun.
I will see how far I go with it before I start losing none stop.

The deck I have lacks some key cards.
However, I want to see how far it can get me.

do you think it's enough to put 1 citadel field in the deck?

Player J Reply
Yeah, I put Citadel in the deck I made.
I added Storm to the deck as well.

There is a very awesome play you can do with Storm + Pitch Black + Citadel.
Player J
Yes! I own a deck like this.
My deck must be a side variation.
I use different monsters.

created a similar concept deck a few days ago with some normal spellcasters, maiden of macabre, wonder wand, sword of deep seated etc and i got to say it is pretty easy to activate marionette effect. a very fun and versatile deck to deal damage.
