Techs

Book of Moon
Book of Moon
Quick Spell
Chaotic Soldiers [UR]
Selection Box Vol.04 [UR]
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; change that target to face-down Defense Position.

Book of Moon is an extremely versatile card that fits the control aspect of this deck. Flipping a monster face-down exposes weak DEF stats and is a good way of turning off continuous effects. Additionally, combos that involve Synchros and Xyz require the monster to be face up so this is a good way to disrupt them.

Ice Dragons Prison
Ice Dragons Prison
Normal Trap
Selection Box Vol.06 [UR]
Target 1 monster in your opponent's GY; Special Summon it to your field, but its effects are negated, then, you can banish 1 monster from both players' fields that have the same Type as each other. You can only activate 1 "Ice Dragon's Prison" per turn.

Ice Dragon's Prison can be a useful tech choice in the Malefic deck to remove threats from your opponent's field and add a monster to your side. It also has the added benefit of banishing a monster from both players' fields if they have the same type, which can help clear the board and set up future plays. However, it can be situational and may not always be the most effective option.
