Soul release is now out. Banishing those spell book cards before they accumulate will slow down achieving the activation of spellbook of fate. Just a thought.

Zombieworld and parasite parasite also counter them as it turns them into zombies/insects, preventing combos where they need a spellcaster.

Getting to know spellbooks, the counters become more apparant.

There are many ways to counter them.

Counters are negating the summon of a spellcaster or destroy it.
So that they cant use several spells which they need a spellcaster on the field for.

Flood the field. Give them too much to deal with in monster and backrow.
Special summons especially help. They cant take it all out.

Empty their resources. They need a spellbook in their hand for several spells.

Invader of darkness, cursed seal of forbidden spell and chaoshunter can give them trouble. Archfiend decks have 2 out of these 3.

These are just some of the ways.

I guess Chaos Hunter is as good as it gets. It will have the side effect of countering Amazoness decks too. How do you summon Choas Hunter on the first turn, if your opponent doesn't special summon anything? Tribute Doll?

Maybe Cursed Seal of Forbidden Seal can work in a spell heavy deck? But I guess its utility is questionable against Sylvan and Amazoness. It might mess up Masked Hero and Noble Knights though.

Tower of Babel is from... Oh, wait, it is an NPC only card, isn't it? Darn, nobody usually use Tower of Babel, but in a game where it could actually be useful? It is not there.

Sigh, okay, a lot of my ideas are shot down, especially thanks to the non-targeting banishment.

As for Silent Magician, I think the chances might not be too bad. If you go first and draw both Silent Magician Lv4 and "Level Up!", then you're good. If your opponent goes first and set up for Fate... Either way, the one who goes first will probably win... though Spellbook is a LOT better at searching than Silent Magician, so there is that.

Maybe Silent Magician won't work against the effect-heavy Sylvan and Amazoness Onslaught... but few decks can counter ALL meta, and if such a deck do exist, it is probably a meta too anyway.

3. They can do rougly 1 spellbook of fate a turn, so if they aim on your monsters it will be hard to have any on the board to outlast.
Gotta swarm to outlast or swarm for early kill.

I tryed an archfiend deck with chaoshunter (anti banish) and invader of darkness (anti quickplay). But i need a top hand from the start though to get one of them and empress on the field before spellbook of fate messes things up.

Where can you get tower of babel?

To those saying spellbook of fate "targets",
newsflash, it does not target.

Thats why that spell is so crazy.

You need to respond in the chain to it, but you can only do this, before you can see what your opponent chooses to banish.

It even banishes monsters who cant be targeted by spells.

Which meta decks can afford 3 copies of cursed seal of the forbidden spell?

Max lvl silent magician will be hard to summon as spellbook of fate can be used on the lvl 4.
Also how will silent magician survive meta decks like sylvan and amazone?

3 copies of cursed seal of forbidden spell will annihilate this shit deck

7. Silent Swordsman! That card is unaffected by your opponent's spells, and Silent Sword Slash is a super powerful support card. Maybe you can destroy the Spellbook user before they destroy you.
8. Silent Magician Lv8 is also unaffected by your opponent's spells, and is far easier to summon than Horus Lv8... not to mention having a hefty 3500 ATK. Treacherous Trap Hole could still destroy the magician though, and unlike the swordsman, the magician doesn't have Silent Sword Slash.
9. Summoning Dark Eradicator Warlock on your first turn? ... yeah right. And even if you can do that, doesn't help if the Spellbook player goes first.

...

I'm not saying those are perfect counters, but maybe they can help improve your odds anyway.

4. A mill deck? Spellbook decks mill themselves pretty hard, so maybe you can finish them off sooner. But then again, these days people use "That Grass Looks Greener", don't they? So perhaps you won't have any advantage after all.
5. A burn deck with Kuriboh. As long as you can survive against Blizzard Princess... maybe you can stall burn them to defeat?
6. White Night Dragon is easy to summon can negate Spellbook of Fate, if targeted by it... Doesn't stop the Spellbook user powering up their own monster then beating the crap out of your dragon though. Maybe with a few more defensive cards to support WND?
