                                                               PEVO-EN010
Pendulum Monster
Harmonizing Magician
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum-Type Tuner / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 / Scale 8
All monsters you control gain 100 ATK and DEF for each face-up "Magician" Pendulum Monster with different names in your Extra Deck.
Cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck. Cannot be used as Material for a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summon, unless all other Materials are "Magician" Pendulum Monsters. When this card is Pendulum Summoned from the hand: You can Special Summon 1 "Magician" Pendulum Monster from your Deck in Defense Position, except "Harmonizing Magician", but it has its effects negated, also banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use this effect of "Harmonizing Magician" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 1
How can she harmonize with anything when she has so many restraints that few monsters can work with her? She doesn't even have any ATK and DEF to her name.
 
                                                               PEVO-EN009
Xyz Monster
Timestar Magician
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1200
2 Level 4 "Magician" Pendulum Monsters
Must first be Xyz Summoned with the above Xyz Materials. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; add to your hand, 1 DARK Spellcaster-Type monster from your Deck, Graveyard, or face-up from your Extra Deck. Once per turn, if a Pendulum Monster Card(s) in your Monster Zone or Pendulum Zone would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can send 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard instead.
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 2
I was all set to rate it at least 3 out of 5 but can't thanks to its Xyz Material requirements and the very first line of its effect. The other effects aren't that great and it's really the adding of the DARK Spellcaster and its ATK and DEF that make it worth 2 stars.
 
                                                               PEVO-EN008
Trap Card
Time Pendulumgraph
Continuous Trap
Your opponent cannot target Spellcaster-Type monsters you control with Trap Cards or effects. You can only use the following effect of "Time Pendulumgraph" once per turn. You can target 1 "Magician" Pendulum Monster Card in your Monster Zone or Pendulum Zone, and 1 card your opponent controls; destroy them. Then, if this effect did not destroy 2 cards, you can send 1 card on the field to the Graveyard.
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 2
Obviously designed to work with the previous card but it too is more restrained with the other effects.
 
                                                               PEVO-EN007
Spell Card
Star Pendulumgraph
Continuous Spell
Your opponent cannot target Spellcaster-Type monsters you control with Spell Cards or effects. If a face-up "Magician" Pendulum Monster Card(s) leaves your Monster Zone or Pendulum Zone: Add 1 "Magician" Pendulum Monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Star Pendulumgraph" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 2
Finally a more generic card and one for Spellcasters too. The problem is the other effect is more restrained.
 
                                                               PEVO-EN006
Pendulum Monster
Purple Poison Magician
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 2100 / Scale 1
Once per turn, if your DARK Spellcaster-Type monster battles, before damage calculation: You can activate this effect; that monster gains 1200 ATK (until the end of the Damage Step), then destroy this card.
(This card is always treated as a "Fusion Dragon" card.)
If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 face-up card on the field; destroy it.
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 2
Purple Poison Magician joins the ranks of every card before it in this set by having mediocre effects and stats, though its DEF will help it last a bit longer. The Scale is once again pretty much the only reason its rating is as high as it is.
 
                                                               PEVO-EN005
Pendulum Monster
White Wing Magician
WIND / Spellcaster, Pendulum & Tuner / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1400 / Scale 1
Once per turn, when an activated card or effect resolves that targets a DARK Spellcaster-Type monster you control, negate that effect, then destroy this card.
(This card is always treated as a "Synchro Dragon" card.)
If this Pendulum Summoned card is used for a Synchro Summon, banish it.
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 2
I like that it's a Tuner monster with a low Pendulum Scale but can't rate it any higher thanks to its Monster Text's side effect.
 
                                                               PEVO-EN004
Pendulum Monster
Black Fang Magician
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 800 / Scale 8
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes half its current ATK (until the end of this turn), then destroy this card.
(This card is always treated as an "Xyz Dragon" card.)
If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 DARK Spellcaster-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it.
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 2
This guy has a better Monster Text effect given what's already available but like Double Iris, there's not much else to work with when using him.
 
                                                               PEVO-EN003
Pendulum Monster
Double Iris Magician
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1000 / Scale 8
Once per turn: You can target 1 DARK Spellcaster-Type monster you control; apply this effect to it, then destroy this card. Once applied, double any battle damage that monster inflicts to your opponent this turn if it battles an opponent's monster.
(This card is always treated as a "Pendulum Dragon" card.)
If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can add 1 "Pendulumgraph" card from your Deck to your hand.
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 2
Based on the two monster that fit this guy's Monster Text criteria, he and you won't have much to choose from and he's not a whole lot better either.
 
                                                               PEVO-EN002
Pendulum Monster
Chronograph Sorcerer
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 6 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1700 / Scale 8
During your Main Phase: You can destroy this card, and if you do, take 1 "Timegazer Magician" from your hand or Deck, and either place it in your Pendulum Zone or Special Summon it. You can only use this effect of "Chronograph Sorcerer" once per turn.
If a card(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then you can Special Summon 1 monster from your hand. You can banish this card you control, plus 4 monsters from your hand, field, and/or Graveyard (1 each with "Pendulum Dragon", "Xyz Dragon", "Synchro Dragon", and "Fusion Dragon" in their names); Special Summon 1 "Supreme King Z-ARC" from your Extra Deck. (This is treated as a Fusion Summon.)
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 2
Since this card is basically identical to Astrograph Sorcerer, right down to its playability, I can't really say much about it that hasn't been said with Astrograph Sorcerer.
 
                                                               PEVO-EN001
Pendulum Monster
Astrograph Sorcerer
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 7 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 / Scale 1
During your Main Phase: You can destroy this card, and if you do, take 1 "Stargazer Magician" from your hand or Deck, and either place it in your Pendulum Zone or Special Summon it. You can only use this effect of "Astrograph Sorcerer" once per turn.
If a card(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then you can choose 1 monster in the Graveyard, Extra Deck, or that is banished, and that was destroyed this turn, and add 1 monster with the same name from your Deck to your hand. You can banish this card you control, plus 4 monsters from your hand, field, and/or Graveyard (1 each with "Pendulum Dragon", "Xyz Dragon", "Synchro Dragon", and "Fusion Dragon" in their names); Special Summon 1 "Supreme King Z-ARC" from your Extra Deck. (This is treated as a Fusion Summon.)
ULTRA RARE
                                              Rating: 2
The effects and stats aren't that good but the Scale sure is and there's no drawbacks to use it exclusively to Pendulum Summon.
