| The old methodThis method is the basic method on taking your opponent's monsters using the effects of the elemental charmers. You only need 3 cards to do this, any charmer, Waboku, and DNA Transplant. - Spoiler:
Step 1: Set any 1 charmer - Spoiler:
Aussa The Earth Charmer - FLIP: Take control of 1 EARTH monster on your opponent's side of the field for as long as this card remains face-up on the field.
Dharc The Dark Charmer - FLIP: Take control of 1 DARK monster your opponent controls, while this card remains face-up on the field.
Eria The Water Charmer - FLIP: Target 1 face-up WATER monster your opponent controls; take control of that target while this card is face-up on the field.
Hiita The Water Charmer - FLIP: Target 1 face-up FIRE monster your opponent controls; take control of that target while this card is face-up on the field.
Lyna The Light Charmer - FLIP: Take control of 1 LIGHT monster your opponent controls, while this card is face-up on the field.
Wynn The Wind Charmer - FLIP: Take control of 1 WIND monster on your opponent's side of the field for as long as this card remains face-up on the field.
As you can easily tell, the charmers all have the same flip effect; stealing an opponent's monster, as long as it's the same attribute as the charmer is. Step 2: Set 1 Waboku Trap Card - Spoiler:
Waboku - You take no battle damage from your opponent's monsters this turn. Your monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn.
Waboku is a very useful trap card, as you can't take battle damage for the turn, and your set charmer will not be destroyed, meaning you can use it's flip effect without the fear that it will be sent to the graveyard, and give your opponent's monster back. The charmers have a weak defense, so this card is a really key component to the strategy. Waboku can also activate it's effect in a chain to it's destruction, meaning that if your opponent would target it with cards like Mystical Space Typhoon or Ghostrick Alucard, you can just activate it in response, without destruction. Step 3: Set 1 DNA Transplant- Spoiler:
DNA Transplant - Activate by declaring 1 monster Attribute. All face-up monsters become that Attribute.
DNA Transplant is what makes the charmer's effect useful, especially if your opponent is playing monsters with different attributes. DNA Transplant can activate itself in response to the effect of Ghostrick Alucard, which destroys set cards. Since it becomes face-up, it doesn't get destroyed. Step 4: During your opponent's Battle Phase, activate the set Waboku and the set DNA Transplant, and declare the attribute corresponding to the charmer in question. Do NOT declare DIVINE. It is essential that you activate the cards before your opponent flips your monster up by battle, so that they don't miss their timing. Result You can have any monster that you want on your opponent's side of the field.
Using this method is advantageous, as the cards you are using are going to be set face-down, meaning that your opponent will not know what you're playing, until they have already attacked, or destroyed your cards. This method is disadvantageous as your opponent may not summon during his turn. Also, this method is very inconsistent. Also, since your cards will be face-down, it is very possible that your opponent may play the card Ghostrick Alucard, and destroy your face-down charmer. This can destroy the combo, but the trap cards that you set, Waboku and DNA Surgery, can simply be activated before their destruction. DNA Surgery will not be destroyed, because it is not set, and Waboku can simply activate it's effect regardless if it's destroyed or not. WARNING: Take note that there are cards in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh that cannot change control, so if your opponent only controls that card as a monster, it is wise that you do not activate your set traps. Threatening Roar- Spoiler:
Threatening Roar is a trap card that, upon activation, stops your opponent from declaring an attack during that turn. This trap may come in handy when setting a Charmer, because you do not have to worry about your opponent destroying your Charmers at all, or even flipping them up. Instead, you may activate Threatening Roar, and then flip up your charmers during your turn. This can be very useful against decks that tend to OTK their opponent. - Spoiler:
Threatening Roar - Your opponent cannot declare an attack this turn.
The Scroll Of Bewitchment- Spoiler:
The Scroll of Bewitchment is an equip spell card that can be equipped to your opponent's monster. The effect calls for you to declare an attribute, and the equipped monster becomes that declaration. It is possible to replace DNA Transplant, as multiple can be used. The advantage is that you don't have to set this card to activate it, unlike DNA Transplant. Also, since this card is an equip card, it can be disposed of if all monsters on the field are destroyed by cards such as Dark Hole and Raigeki. This card can also be searched from your deck using cards such as Vylon Cube. This card is disadvantageous, however, in that you must run more than one of these, if you want to capture more than one monster your opponent controls. Also, your opponent may know what you are trying to do, as not many meta decks run The Scroll of Bewitchment. Some cards in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh cannot be targeted, and this card definitely targets, unlike DNA Transplant. Arguably the most disadvantageous part about using this card is that it can really clog your Spell and Trap zones, unless you plan on Xyz or Synchro Summoning, or using the cards as a tribute. The Charmers are all Level 3, and there are 11 other Levels in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh, making Synchro Summoning and Xyz Summoning less likely. Sometimes your opponent doesn't play Tuner monsters as well. There are even cards that cannot be tribute by their own card effect. The easiest way to get passed this is by running the "Familiar Possessed" versions of the charmers in your Deck(See Familiars Unleashed and "Familiar Possessed") Here is it's effect: - Spoiler:
The Scroll of Bewitchment - Select 1 Attribute when you activate this card. Change the Attribute of the equipped monster to the one you select.
Familiars Unleashed- Spoiler:
Familiars Unleashed is a continuous trap card with multiple effects. It's first effect puts a failsafe on your strategy, by protecting charmers during battle. It's second effect regards the "Familiar Possessed" versions of charmers by giving it an extra 800 ATK during damage calculation. It's third effect allows you to Special Summon Spellcasters, preferably your charmers, with 1500 or less DEF from your Deck, as long as it had a different attribute. You can only use that effect once per turn. You can replace both Waboku and DNA Transplant with this card, because this card can function in those ways. Since your charmer's can't be destroyed by battle, it doesn't matter if your opponent attacks them or not, because you can flip them up during your turn. It's third effect lets you Special Summon another charmer from your deck face-down. Since your opponent destroyed your one charmer with the wrong attribute, you can special summon another charmer that has the same attribute as your opponent and take it during your turn. This card also makes it possible to include "Familiar Possessed" versions of your charmers, which can make use of your opponent's monster. Here is Familiars Unleashed's effect. - Spoiler:
Familiars Unleashed - "Charmer" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle. If a "Familiar-Possessed" monster attacks an opponent's monster, it gains 800 ATK during damage calculation only. If a monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect while this card is face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone: You can Special Summon from your Deck in Attack Position or face-down Defense Position, 1 Spellcaster-Type monster with 1500 DEF that has a different Attribute from that destroyed monster's original Attribute. You can only use this effect of "Familiars Unleashed" once per turn.
"Familiar Possessed" - Spoiler:
Once a player has successfully accomplished taking control of their opponent's monster, they might ask, "Well, now what am I going to do?" There are many answers to this question, but there is one answer that outshines the rest. The "Familiar Possessed" monsters are monsters that can be summoned from your deck or hand by simply using it's charmer counterpart on-field, as well as a monster with the same attribute as tributes. Since you took control of your opponent's monster, this should be a simple enough task. Here are the "Familiar Possessed" cards and effects. - Spoiler:
Familiar Possessed - Wynn - By sending 1 "Wynn the Wind Charmer" and 1 WIND monster from your side of the field to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from your hand or Deck. If you Special Summon this card in this way, this card gets the following effect: During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points.
Familiar Possessed - Hiita - By sending 1 "Hiita the Fire Charmer" and 1 FIRE monster from your side of the field to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from your hand or Deck. If you Special Summon this card in this way, this card gets the following effect: During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points.
Familiar Possessed - Eria - By sending 1 "Eria the Water Charmer" and 1 WATER monster from your side of the field to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from your hand or Deck. If you Special Summon this card in this way, this card gets the following effect: During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points.
Familiar Possessed - Dharc - You can Special Summon this card (from your hand or Deck) by sending 1 face-up "Dharc the Dark Charmer" you control and 1 face-up DARK monster you control to the Graveyard. When you do: You can add 1 Level 3 or 4 LIGHT Spellcaster-Type monster from your Deck to your hand. If this card was Special Summoned by this effect and attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing Battle Damage to your opponent.
Familiar Possessed - Aussa - By sending 1 "Aussa the Earth Charmer" and 1 EARTH monster from your side of the field to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from your hand or Deck. If you Special Summon this card in this way, this card gets the following effect: During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points.
It is also possible to Xyz Summon and Synchro Summon, but these summoning methods are restricted to your opponent's deck. If your opponent is running Level 4 monsters, you obviously cannot Xyz Summon, as they have different levels. If your opponent isn't using Tuner-Monsters, then you also cannot Synchro Summon, unless you have your own Tuners.

| No mention of the new Charmer support?  Actually, with that new Charmer support, we don't need Waboku anymore, as it already prevent Charmers from being destroyed by battle. DNA Transplant will depend on your build. A single attribute Charmer deck will benefit from this, but in multiple attribute, Scroll of Bewitchment is generally better, since it's a Spell card and don't need a turn to be activated. DNA and Scroll, post SECE, isn't really needed anymore. With Possession Release, the Charmers already turn into a defensive engine for your deck that can also control opponent's monster. And they're toolbox-able. Like, if your opponent destroy your monster with DARK attribute, just search Dharc. He already unable to be destroyed by battle and next turn you can just flip him to take control your opponent's monster. With Charmers being searchable like this to match your opponent's monster's attribute, you can drop DNA/Scroll from your deck for better cards for more consistency, as consistency is the main problem for Charmer deck. Since both DNA and Scroll doesn't bring much consistency by themselves, and just overall conditional. | |

| So is this supposed to be a guide? Because if so, I guess it should be stickied or something...  Even though, for us Charmer users, this is fairly common knowledge already. The good thing about DNA Surgery, however, compared to Scroll, is that your opponent won't know what you're planning until it's too late because everything is face-down. Scroll being a Magic card means you'll have to play it face-up, which means your opponent will see it. And let's be honest, how many decks do you know that run Scroll? Lol. So your opponent will probably know what you're up to before it's even their turn. Pre-SECE Charmers were fun because of their mind games - that's the whole reason they were flip effects. But I agree that Possession Release is better in general because it does the work of both Waboku and Scroll in one. Arguably, it fits today's format even better because having a Charmer destroyed by battle and searching a new one thins the deck and helps you draw the card you need faster. | |

You mean Transplant. And if you use DNA that way, what's the difference of it with Scroll then? Activate it during your opponent's turn? You activate it when you have the right moment to flip your Charmer to take control your opponent's monster, which, usually done in your own turn more often. Letting your opponent's attack goes through and hoping your Charmer's 1500 DEF survive isn't going to happen often if you plan to activate it in your opponent's turn unless you have Waboku. (Also if you use Waboku in Charmer deck, that means there'll be many cases when you get attacked by a monster with different attribute than your face-down Charmer when you don't draw DNA yet, it's actually quite a waste of their flip effect. Threatening Roar is better since it doesn't flip your Charmer when your opponent would attack it with different attribute monster) Scroll on other hand can be activated as soon as you draw it since it's a spell. So, in case you activated Threatening Roar previous turn or have Messenger of Peace and still have Charmer face-down, you can immediately use Scroll. Compare this to DNA which you must wait 1 turn. Most of time you'll flip your Charmer during your turn anyway. So it doesn't make much difference unless you use single-attribute Charmer deck. DNA's strong point is when your opponent need a certain attribute monster to do something (like preventing them to Xyz Chidori), but that's not going to happen often. This argument applies for pre-SECE Charmer Deck only. Now that we have Possession Release, a much better card than both DNA and Scroll, we can start discussing the combos with it, since it's very reliable compared to both DNA and Scroll. Like I said before, Charmer deck's issues is in its consistency. And when we speak consistency, DNA and Scroll doesn't offer that. Post SECE, I rather use multiple Mirror Force and Supply Squads than using Scroll/DNA. Using Traptrix is also neat to boost the deck's consistency. Myrmeleo and Dionaea along with BTH and Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare recommended. Not to mention both Charmers and Traptrix drawn by Akina too. If they can boost Charmer deck's consistency, why not? ATM, my Charmer deck is using x3 Supply Squad, x3 Fire and Ice Hand, and Debris Dragon (SS any Charmer from grave, Synchro to Black Rose/Moonlight Rose, or SS Eria and synchro into Gungnir). The mindset is, hang on the field with Fire/Ice Hand, or keep drawing with Supply Squad until Possession Release is drawn, then have the Charmers take care the rest. If I got Possession Release early, then it's good start. I'm no longer focused on changing attribute anymore as Possession Release already did similar job by toolboxing any Charmer I want from my deck. The deck already allowed me to control the field through the hands, and Possession Release can do further by allowing me controlling opponent's monster by searching a Charmer I need, or just turn FP into bigger beatstick with it. Conclusion, post-SECE, you don't need attribute changer for your Charmer deck. Drop them and change them with better cards that provides more consistency for your deck. | |

Well yes using Waboku was implied because that's what OP said in the first place. It's not very common to have all three in a starting hand, but ideally that would be a good situation, and then OP's method would work. - Eria wrote:

Well screw you, you're using a meta deck  But you should post it nonetheless. | |

| Oh okay. Well the edits look pretty good so far. If you add more to this, I'll go ahead and sticky it, because when all is said and done we really need more guides.
Don't forget to post about all kinds of useful techs such as Scroll of Bewitchment, Genex Ally Changer, The Monarchs Thunder, Book of Taiyou, A/D Changer, Secret Village of the Spellcasters, and other things I may be forgetting. | |

| TBH, if it's Pre-SECE means this guide is outdated, so I don't think it needs to be stickied. Stickied guide better be up to date with the cards we already have now, instead of looking back at the past without mentioning the usefulness of the new cards, that will help people more. My suggestion is, add Familiars Unleashed/Possession Release to the OP as a method of post-SECE, then change the thread's title. Otherwise, I don't see the point of making this topic sticky since currently it has very limited info even for Pre-SECE and need to be updated more. So unstickied this (Hippo next time please discuss with other mods/admin when you considering a post needs to be stickied). After this topic get more updated and in-depth info, it can be stickied again. | |

| Good job, Minimania! Now this topic can be stickied.
Also, since Waboku's there, how about including Threatening Roar too? Basically, unlike Waboku, Roar doesn't make you flip your Charmer during your opponent's turn. This can prevent your Charmer get flipped when there's monster with irrelevant attribute on your opponent's field. For example, you have Scroll of Bewitchment in your hand, but you can't flip your Charmer in the turn they're set. You can stall a turn with Roar to prevent your Charmer from getting attacked, then next turn you activate Scroll and flip your Charmer.
Another card worth to mention is Book of Moon. It's also a great card in general. In Charmer deck, it has use to flip the monster controlled by Charmer to face-down defense position, if this happens, when your Charmer is removed from your field, you keep controlling this monster until it's removed from the field. Book of Moon also enable you to flip your face-up Charmer back into face-down, allowing you to re-use their effect.
Tsukuyomi and Book of Eclipse can do similar thing, but Tsukuyomi is a monster with less Spell Speed compared to Book of Moon which is a Quick-Play Spell. But it has pros of being reuseable. Book of Eclipse turn all monsters into face-down defense position, this means it can also be used to stall, but the drawback needs to be considered and should be used carefully, since it can give your opponent free draws. | |

| minimania, what a trooper you are! Sacrificing sleep to write some Charmer articles. This forum needs more people like you XD
If we're suggesting cards to add to the OP, I may as well suggest Fiendish Chain. It only stops the attack of one opponent's monster, but it also negates that monster's effect, which can be really useful in today's game. And I dunno why people don't like Hidden Armory either - it's an even easier way to reuse your Scrolls, and you don't have to worry about the cost too much since it doesn't prevent Flip Summons.
Also (and this is me being nitpicky, but considering this is a guide now), you should probably spell "Bewitchment" correctly. | |

| I think Hidden Armory will depend on what kind of deck you use. I don't think it's worth it if you use Hidden Armory just for searching/reusing Scroll. Sometimes you need normal summon (like if you need to do Xyz), and sometimes being unable to do it is quite hurt, and since Charmer deck are already slow by their nature, this has potential to push them to even slower state.
However, if you have more useful equips than just Scroll, I can see it has more use. Since Charmers are Spellcasters, in Spellcaster based Charmer decks, you can use it along with Wonder Wand. Still, you should consider the drawback of Hidden Armory and Wonder Wand. Hidden Armory prevents normal summon, and Wonder Wand can leave your field empty. So, using searchers such as Apprentice Magician/Hands that can replace themselves can minimalize the impact of those drawbacks since they allow you to keep the field advantage. | |

- I think Hidden Armory will depend on what kind of deck you use. I don't think it's worth it if you use Hidden Armory just for searching/reusing Scroll. Sometimes you need normal summon (like if you need to do Xyz), and sometimes being unable to do it is quite hurt, and since Charmer deck are already slow by their nature, this has potential to push them to even slower state.
However, if you have more useful equips than just Scroll, I can see it has more use. Since Charmers are Spellcasters, in Spellcaster based Charmer decks, you can use it along with Wonder Wand. Still, you should consider the drawback of Hidden Armory and Wonder Wand. Hidden Armory prevents normal summon, and Wonder Wand can leave your field empty. So, using searchers such as Apprentice Magician/Hands that can replace themselves can minimalize the impact of those drawbacks since they allow you to keep the field advantage. Fair point. I use Hidden Armory, but that's because I run more of a FP-beatdown deck that also uses One-Shot Wand and Bound Wand in addition to Scroll, so I do have much more targets. But I assume that this thread is about strictly "Charmer" decks, not "Familiar-Possessed" decks | |

| Actually, I plan on making this thread include the "Familiar Possessed" and strategies with those cards, but they will be added in the future.
EDIT: I added a clause on "Familiar Possessed", and changed the title to make it more accurate. | |

| This guide needs an update.
Familiar-Possessed + Familiars (Inari/Eater/Jigobyte) + Familiars Unleashed = Rank 4 Xyz spam deck. | |
