MAGICAL SCIENTIST
Dark/Magic User/1/300/300
You can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon 1 level 6 or lower Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck.  That Fusion Monster cannot attack your opponent directly, and is returned to the Fusion Deck at the end of the turn.
 
Pros:
-A swiss-army knife, does many things...
-Can be used to do a OTK/FTK
 
Cons:
-Only 300/300...weak
-1000 LP payments are pretty harsh
 
Like the other card I did this time, this card comes in 303 and EE1 as well. It was a card whose potential was not seen by many people. Many people saw it as a pretty useless card...
 
This card is THE swiss-army knife in the game. Just look at ALL the LV6 or lower fusions in the game that have effects. You can abuse those effects easily using Magic Scientist. Summon a Majin Baltar to destroy that face-down monster who has a deadly effect. Summon a Dragon Warrior to rest easy about Normal Traps. Summon Thousand-Eyes Sacrifice to kill one of your opponent's monsters. I could go on and on...With Catapult Turtle, it can also be the source of sacrifice bait, resulting in a One-Turn Kill, or even a First-Turn Kill.
 
This card has the low stats of 300/300. This was good when Critter and Black Forest Witch were not banned. The only card than can search this guy now is Apprentice Magician, which is limited to use in Magician Decks. The 1000 LP payments are also very high, especially if you pay for 2 or more monsters at the same time...DO NOT use this card in a deck with Injection Angel - Lily unless your okay with killing yourself.
 
8.8/10- Being a swiss-army knife, it definitely deserves a high rating. However, its sharp payments for 1000 LP pretty much 1 for 1 deals. Keeping a 300 ATK monster on the field is also not an easy task...
