Magical Scientist Level 1 300/300 Dark/Spell caster MFC-073 Pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon 1 Level 6 or lower Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck in face-up Attack or Defense Position. That Fusion Monster cannot attack your opponent's Life Points directly, and is returned to your Fusion Deck at the end of the turn.

Well this was one of the most anticipated cards in the set. It's combos are endless. I am not even going to get into the the one turn knock out and all of that stuff I will just explain how it works and what it is good for and how to use it.

Well pretty much what the card does is you can pay 1000 life points to get a card out of your fusion deck 6 stars or less for a turn and you cannot attack your life points directly. But I am sure you know of the one turn win with the combo with catapult turtle. click here to go to the combo page to check it out. Well besides the one turn win thing there is allot more you can do with this card like you could special summon thousand eyes restrict and use some equips on him and then attack opponent or lots of other fun stuff. But if you are serous about the combo with this card you must make the whole deck around it. I will post one in the deck ideas soon (next week) I love this card lots of versatility 4.6/5 one turn k.o

This card was one of the most anticipated cards in the entire MFC set. It was originally released as a hobby box secret rare in Japan, so some of us expected it to be a little harder to get. UDE suprised us all in this one, as it was made to be a common! Onto the actual card. Magical Scientist definitely has some ability. The ability to summon powerful 2000 plus attackers by paying 1000 life points is an awesome deal. I have seen people pull off a one turn KO with Catapult Turtle and MS. They summon seven 2100 attackers, tribute them off one by one, and finally tribute MS and CT. Though this combo may seem very hard to pull off, it isnt. By using a Last Will to summon Catapult, it makes it a little easier. Until they become restricted (or banned) I can see no stopping these decks. Three MS, three CT, three Last Will makes for an awesome deal, not to mention the seven 2100 attackers for the fusions. Now let us analyze the downside to this card: There are also definite limitations to this card. The fusion monster has to be less than six stars. That means that until some good fusions come out with low stars and good effects, this card is almost no help without the rest of the deck supporting it. You cant attack their LP directly either. Now how does that help in a beatdown? Payments of 1000 are steep, considering people have twisted ways for comebacks, including RoD and BBtD. They will laugh in your face as you get the first six complete, but when you try to hit them with the seventh, they play BBtD, game over for you. Not to mention this guy is a weakling, with 300/300. Try to get Dark Baltar, FSD, The Last Warrior From Another Planet? You cannot. Those cards specifically state that they have to be Fused using their specified fusion cards. To play this card alone without using it in a deck theme is almost suicide. For the ability to get monsters from your fusion deck, i would rate him second to Metamorphosis. Combos: Take out a Thousand Eyes Restrict, suck up their monster, play UWS or some other card on MS and attack. Or, you could take a Super Robolady or Super Robayarou, return it to your fusion deck to get a permanent one, and attack from there. You could also have two or three Life Absorbing Machines on the field as you pay, giving you back as much life as you paid. (Fire Princess deck, anyone?). Other than the one hit KO, this card does not have any promise in a deck, at least a beatdown. I would have to give this card a weak 1.2 out of five for an average beatdown, but when it is used correctly in its deck, it is the most important card and therefore deserves a perfect 5.0/5 This is Siphon_X, signing off....

Alex's review:
There are a few potential combos with the MS (I will refer to it as MS from
now on.) You can pull out something such as Thousand Eyes Restrict, Fushion
Richie, or Last Warrior, then follow up with a dimension hole. When the monster
is returned to the field, he stays there. This isn't a great card, cause you
have to pay life points for a single fusion that cant attack directly. You
are probably a lot better off working with a Summoner of Illusion.

Casual Play 2.5/5
Tourney Play 1.5/5

I personally think this card is one of the greatest cards in the new set. It's main use obviously is in a Magical Scientists deck where you try to beat people by using Catapult Turtle and Magical Scientists together. But, it's also good in other decks. If you pay the 1000 life points and get Thousand Eyes Restrict or some other strong fusion monsters. Sometimes paying 1000 life points can be a pain but it's a good card. This card is rumored to be restricted to 1 in each deck though so Magical Scientists deck won't be as strong as they are now.
