# The Game Plan

I once made a comment about [[Magician]] being at best no better than [[Spellslinger]]. I was way wrong. The advantage of [[Magician]] is all about the ability to see your powerful cards more often — in other words, threat density. So with that in mind, I made a deck that takes full advantage of the extra mana from (A) Air sites (i.e., [[Dark Tower]], [[Lone Tower]], [[Gothic Tower]] and [[Den of Evil]]) to make an evil deck. If this was a non-Magician deck, I would probably include [[Beacon]] as well, but I don't think I can fit that all in here.

# Notes

💀 I don't include quick artifact mana (i.e., [[Amethyst Core]] and [[Ruby Core]] and [[Philosopher's Stone]]) because of [[Swap]]. I don't want to leave artifacts hanging out that can allow them to get the drop on me. Well that's a lie... I added [[Ruby Core]] as a risk because I felt like [[Highland Princess]] was a good way to either sure up some threshold issues or to grab a [[Torshammar Trinket]].

💀 I don't include the [[Char Omphalos]] because it could draw sites that it's unable to utilize. I'm on the fence a little.

💀 [[Pith Imp]] is the perfect in this deck. (1) You have a way higher chance of having more cards and more spells than them, so taking one of theirs gives you a huge advantage early in the game. (2) It can be played off a [[Dark Tower]] or a [[Den of Evil]] on turn 1, or normally on turn 2. The [[Wiccan Tools]] in the collection is there to give [[Pith Imp]] spellcaster so you could cast the stolen spell if it's juicy.

💀 [[Cerberus in Chains]] and [[Shackled Demon]] are great in this deck because there's a lot of time where your [[Magician]] is sitting in the realm with nothing to do and can't tap to draw a site.

💀 There's a lot of demons in this deck, why not [[Demonic Contract]]? I think it's is a trap. If you think otherwise, GET IN THE COMMENTS!
