Hot take. The missing level 6 witchcrafter is Mystical Sand, depicted in the portrait in the Patronus art, nods to the fusion direction of the archetype and another nod to her being the original ygo waifu monster who was included in early competetive extra decks pre 15 card limit as a luck charm.
Honestly you might be on to something. I can see it being remade to fit the archetype! It is a level 6 monster even though it’s not a spellcaster now it could be later
Damn that's a great point and an amazing reference if it's true. Furthermore, she coincidentally happens to have the same type and attribute of Ninaruru.
@@endeavor1299 I'm almost positive there will be a level 6 release at some point due to vice madame effect wording to summon level 6 or lower witchcrafter. Why wouldn't it say level 5 or lower for Edel and leave it at that? 🤔 I just hope she's as broken as MM circular or Aluber etc.
One of the best Techs I’ve seen for this deck was using the Witchcrafter continuous trap, Patronus along with Spell Chronicle, which can banish 5 different named spell cards from your deck, and then Patronus can get them all back to hand that turn in the end phase. Might not be necessary to play but it’s interesting. A bigger Branded package to focus on fusions with Cartesia, Albaz, and Branded Fusion can get you Mirrorjade on the field very consistently as well and it has the extra deck space for it.
I try to banish 7 spells on the graveyard with masterpiece then banish patronus to send those same spells straight to my hand to finish the chain with Haine on board with 5+ spells in hand, you can do this to respond to any sort of board clear like Zeus provided you can manage to get 1 of each of the traps in the gy which is as easy as burial goods + schmietta to set it up
I just found out that comments with links get deleted so I am going to try again. I made a more budget version of this deck a while ago and it personally works pretty well, look for witchcrafter branded on ygoprodeck, the branded package doesn't have all that synergy but it's so good it makes it worth it for just 4 cards. As I said it's budget this is why I play magistus verre over Cartesia but I agree the latter is the better choice. I use magicalized fusion with 3 veiler and 3 droll, having spellcasters in the gy makes it very easy to fusion summon both vice-madame and quintet magician. I think you should play Edel, it can be special summoned with Vice-madame and then use its effect to bring back any spellcasters in the gy, very useful with blazing cartesia. Also consider patronus over draping as it can now be searched with schmietta and retrieved from the gy with vice-madame (also draping is just bad, I don't understand why they made that card that useless).
I love to play also a copy of The Iris Swordsoul and an Instant Fusion + Millennium-Eyes restrict, giving to Edel other targets for being reborn. My only problem with Cartesia is that I want to use Branded in High Spirits but I do not know well the targets to send to the graveyard for its effect (that can be good to do some things). Slowly going in favor of Cartesia instead of Illusion of Chaos + Magicians Souls sadly
I actually run both Cartesia and Magicians Souls + Illusion with a small Magistus package. Added two Despian Luluwalillith to dump one off of Granguinol which summons Cartesia on end phase so you can go into Vice-Madame on opponents turn. It's not the most consistent but when it goes off it can be crazy with the Magistus boss + Vice Master + masquerena + Selene to go into Avramax. Never thought I'd be able to make a combo deck out of Witchcrafters.
You can always add the magician girls (not dark magician girl per se) they can support spellcaster decks pretty good. Nice profile video,man, keep it up! I'm a huge fan of these girls, my favourite one is Schmietta
how about playing the 1 Reasoning? its an easy negate bait and if even if they guess right you potentially put loads of Witchcrafter spells in grave since you play way more spells than monsters. Also you've got a nice variation level wise 1,2,3,4,6,7.8. only annoying thing to see would be the gamma package.
@@joito6291 been playing witchcrafters for ages and never thought about monster gate. It essentially does what the babies do but u dont have to discard a spell 😬
There is 100% potential synergy there. Ofc, this was a pure deck profile. But maybe in the future if I like a build with runick I could do that version as well.
Thoughts of adding an instant fusion? It can act as another called by the grave while putting a second spellcaster on board. Also works well if you play the magician arm package since you can revive him back afterwards.
I am running a very expensive set of prosperity however, haha. I don't usually make my lists budget, so when I show expensive cards I try to give alternative options.
@@TopTierGamingYGO and I very much appreciate that you do that! Prosperity I can live with, but Witchcrafter was always an unapproachable deck because it seemed like you had to run Magicians’ Souls and Illusion of Chaos. But instead I see Cartesia here, and I MUCH prefer that!
In the video, you said that prosperity is very good but not priority and suggested metalfoes fusion and triple tactics. However you also run 2 triple so would I just replace the 3 prosperity with 3 metalfoes?
What do you think about secret village? Maybe even a Nadir Servant package? Pitching Garura to add dogmatika eclesia feels pretty nice and going second you can dump n’tss of course. Love these deck profiles, always excited when I see a new upload on the channel!!
Secret village is a card I side for going first. Nadir servant is a potentially playable package, but I haven't tested it enough to decide if it's better than anything I'm currently running.
I personally always advise against Secret Village, mainly because it hurts you immensely during bad times. If you make a board and play Secret Village and have everything get wiped, suddenly Secret Village stops you from recurring or adding new cards because you don't have any spellcasters. I'd sooner say it'd better to go for a Magician's Restage into Magician's Left/Right Hand strategy. It's more cards, but it's safer to play.
The problem with ferrijit is that she isn't super valuable and it makes ultimate slayer pretty low impact. And I'm trying to run as high impact cards as I can, as blowout go second spells.
Personally, I haven't liked the souls engine as much in my earlier testing with the deck. So I eventually removed the engine. Cartesia I think is a very good card in the deck however. Maybe I will test souls more in the future though.
@@TopTierGamingYGO Good to know! I’ve always loved the deck. I might have missed it in your list here, but are you playing Reasoning? It’s unbelievably strong for this archetype.

Finally somebody uses cartesia 🎉
Notifications Squad! Amazing to see new support for these older archetypes, hope to see more!✨
So what do the Witchcrafters even do? I mean, what is their win con?
Magicians soul and illusion of chaos helps
I swear, we play the exact same decks. Like...literally. Every deck I play you do a profile on. Waifus FTW.

Reasoning is clutch in this thing
And monster gate too man it is good
@@joito6291 been playing witchcrafters for ages and never thought about monster gate. It essentially does what the babies do but u dont have to discard a spell 😬
Magicalized Fusion is better than Confusion in my experience. I still run one Confusion to proc Haine and stuff.
Meanwhile "Magistus Invocation" is searchable.
:D
Have you thought of doing a Spellbook of Judgment version of this deck? It would be definitely nice too because the synergy is there!
Jowgen does wonders with the deck
Cool i think i have all of, if not most of these cards already
What do you think about using Runick with Witchcrafter? I can see some synergy with the way Runick Fountain and Madame Verre work.
There is 100% potential synergy there. Ofc, this was a pure deck profile. But maybe in the future if I like a build with runick I could do that version as well.

You can't revive it, it wasn't summoned properly
@@CS0723 Instant fusion is a fusion summon, so yes it was summoned properly.
@@jkrulz77 lol cringe. You're right, not sure what I was thinking of

Do some more collabs with Paul and Alex at team aps. Would love to see you do a feature on a rare hunters episode or something :)
Haha, my friend Paul is a busy man. But maybe there will be more collabs in the future.
@@TopTierGamingYGO it was cool seeing you in that
Battle pack draft on one of there recent videos
Can i have your Playmat illustration?? It's cute
Thank you thank you ❤️❤️ magician souls is a good card!
When Grand-Guignol the Finale Dragon comes would Fusion Deployment be a option.
Yes. And branded in high spirit.
Or infinity chasers as a secret rare
Where did you get the playmat?
Also since crafters are fusion deck now, Thoughts on a branded engine?
Also how come no reasoning?
Thank you so much Aaron for not playing a stupid expensive Magicians’ Souls engine.

Has 3 Pot of Prosperities roughly a hard to get ($40) card... but no Selenes a ($8) card. 🧐🧐🧐
In the video, you said that prosperity is very good but not priority and suggested metalfoes fusion and triple tactics. However you also run 2 triple so would I just replace the 3 prosperity with 3 metalfoes?
Edel is already out came out in genesis impact
She Level 5 tho

Lets goo 🥳🥳
Would u recommend the branded engine, as a sub engine for the deck?
I have thought about it, but I couldn't find a build I liked with it while I was testing.
It's worth a try though.
When can you do a timelord deck profile??
Probably never. But hey, who knows what the future holds haha.
Do you think invoked generaider with the new support could mesh well with kashtira?
Nope.
no souls? no magicalized?
Is the other level 6 monster you spoke off around minute 16 released in the OCG? What’s the name?
It’s not unfortunately hoping it comes this year.
mayakashi deck profile please!
I'd love to see a Bystial D Link one day from you lol
Don't use magician soul?
Would twin twister and droplets trigger the spell card return effect? Thinking of them for side deck
yes as long as you have a withcrafter card on the board.
Do you think the deck could top a locals??
Any deck can top/win a locals
Nice Profile!
