Spellbook: deck recipe [Mar 2021]

High Priestess is an easy to summon boss monster with decent stats. With proper resource management you should be ready to put High Priestess onboard as soon as you get her. Unfortunately, not being able to directly search High Priestess can be a problem for the non-Temperance build, so your best bet in this case is to draw into her with The Grand Spellbook Tower.

High Priestess' removal effect is simple yet effective. Banish a Spellbook Spell from your graveyard to destroy any one card your opponent controls. However, keep in mind this form of removal is the easiest to counter or respond to. Using this effect will also help empty your graveyard, for activating Library of the Crescent.

Temperance lets you easily put your boss monsters on the field. You will get to activate Spellbooks every turn in a Spellbook deck, so Temperence essentially Special Summons from the deck for free. This is one of the few ways to search High Priestess along with some other powerful monsters mentioned below.

With the proper setup, World is the best monster to Special Summon with Temperence's effect because of its field wipe. Recovering 2 Spellbooks from your graveyard is good for resource gain and helps activate World's second effect. This can open your opponent to an OTK, however the summoning restriction can hinder your damage output for the turn. To increase your damage output you can use Spellbook of Power or a Spellbook of the Master copying Spellbook of Power, but this still won't be enough to OTK if your opponent has full LP.

At some point your graveyard can run out of resources. In that case Wheel can be used to replenish your graveyard. This lets you continue using the effects of High Priestess, Grand Spellbook Tower, and Spellbook of the Master.

Generally, you want to return all banished copies of Grand Spellbook Tower, Spellbook of the Master to the deck along with some Wisdom and Fate. The rest of the Spellbooks go back to your graveyard.

Magician is one of your key searchers alongside Spellbook of Secrets. The difference is, being a monster, Magician is much more versatile than Spellbook of Secrets. For example, after using Magician to search you can use him to make a Rank-2 Xyz.

You can use use Fate to flip Magician face-down when it is targeted for attack. This gives you another search during the opponent's turn when Magician is flip-face up again.

Spellbook of Secrets allows you to add from your Deck to your hand any “Spellbook” card, including Spellbook Magician of Prophecy.

Grand Spellbook Tower is a powerful one-card draw engine, essentially giving you an extra draw every turn. With this you can accumulate resources, especially unsearchable Prophecy monsters such as Temperence and High Priestess which are part of your main combo.

Cycling Spellbooks from the graveyard back into the deck can let you reuse those cards if you search them out. But make sure to leave Spellbooks in your graveyard to fuel High Priestess and Spellbook of Fate.

Previously, Library of Crescent was only useful during the first turn before you played any Spellbooks. Fortunately the addition of High Priestess and Grand Spellbook Tower means Library of Crescent's usefulness extends beyond your opening turn. While it can be an unreliable search card, it helps by thinning your deck and also adding fuel to your graveyard.

Recovers a Spellbook banished by High Priestess or Spellbook of Fate. The most effective use would be to retrieve a Spellbook of Fate banished as cost for another Spellbook of Fate, extending the removal loop.

High Priestess and World have pretty good field clearing ability, but their relatively average stats prevent them from pushing OTK damage. To fix this, you can give them a large ATK boost with Spellbook of Power. Additionally, the boost from Spellbook of Power lets them beatdown other decks' boss monsters which they otherwise couldn't compete with stat-wise.

Thanks to Spellbook of the Master, you can bypass the “once per turn” restriction that most “Spellbook” Spell Cards have. This can result in some good combo extensions by copying Secrets or Eternity. After activating Spellbook of Secrets, you can use Spellbook of the Master to copy its effect and add another Spellbook card to your hand.

When going on the offense, you can activate Spellbook Master to copy the effect of Spellbook of Power. Resulting in a 2000 ATK boost also searching 2 cards after destroying an opponent's monster.

The third effect and the fact it is a Quick-Play Spell is what makes Fate a formidable removal card. It does not target, does not destroy, can be used on both monsters and Spell/Trap Cards, and only costs cards in the graveyard to activate are just some of the reasons why it remains quite relevant.

Additionally, you can form a loop with two Spellbook of Fate and some Spellbook of Eternity that lets you banish a card every turn.

The first and second effects also contribute a lot to Fate's versatility. The first effect can be used to open the opponent to your attacks by removing a backrow card. The second effect can be used to stop attacks and turn off effects.

High Priestess is easy to Special Summon and occasionally you can put 2 of them onboard, use their effects to destroy enemy backrow, then make Titanic Moth to deal a ton of direct and burn damage.

Summon by using 2 Magicians as Xyz material. Shining Elf simply debuffs an opponent's monster immediately upon summon which might be useless if Shining Elf is your only monster. But if used alongside your boss monsters can prevent the opponent from overpowering you.

Crumble Logos is another monster you can make with two Spellbook Magicians. The negation effect is handy for turning off enemy boss monster effects and key Spell/Trap cards. Very effective against Weather Painter decks.

• Karakuri Ninja mdl 339 "Sazank", Gale Lizard and Lava Golem can get rid of Silent Magician without triggering its floating effect.
• Aside from Spellbook of Fate, this deck has no way of dealing with back row.
• DNA Surgery (Buster Blader DNA Surgery) can prevent you from Summoning Silent Magician and from activating Spellbook of Fate.
• Sealed Tombs (Skill) can prevent you from activating Spellbook of Fate.

Special Summon Silent Magician by tributing Magician of Prophecy. Her once per turn Spell negation is great for shutting down combo pieces Fusion Spells and search Spells. Furthermore, the negation is also useful in dealing with enemy tech cards such as Cosmic Cyclone and Forbidden Lance.

With Spellbook deck's ability to maintain resources, Silent Magician can easily maintain a 2000+ ATK stat letting it stay on the field. It is also not uncommon to get her to 3000+ ATK, enough to beatdown most other monsters.

Floating into Silent Magician LV8 is a good fallback in case Silent Magician is removed from the field. This lets you maintain a formidable field presence without spending additional resources.

Noted By Nanachu:

"Since ""See You Later"" nerfed it would be better to switch to any ""Draw Sense"" skills or ""Destiny Draw"" even though the deck still works fine without any skills.

The deck is all about searching anything that you still don't have on hand and graveyard. It's hilarious seeing people rage quit after those untargetable monster banished by spellbook of fate. This deck can beat any decks as long as your opponent doesn't set 3 backrows or having necrovalley. Overall it's just a standard spellbook deck with addition of spellbook star hall to get over most of opponent big monster and some extra search when it's destroyed. The playstyle is all the same... Maybe until Konami gives us their xyz and spellbook of knowledge or maybe spellbook of judgement :)
