Which Spellcasters would be hard to get in Japan? The TCG only just got The Tricky, but that would be a reprint, as would Toy Magician (which would have it's cost on the TCG secondary market very sharply axed). I can only wish for Dark Red Enchanter.

If it really is for the 'current environment' - LS, Teleport DAD, GBs centred around War Chariot - unless one of the five new cards pulls some format reversing awesomeness out of nowhere, I reckon the deck'll be centred around a somewhat inconsistent lock involving Spell Village and a Trap-negating card, or whatever the proper name for it is. The one thing Spellcasters are good for now are uncompetitive Beatdown decks, so with a lock combo they could just overrun most of the (unboosted) Lv4 LS and GBs. It wouldn't be so bad, as long as the new cards raise the speed of a Spellcaster/Field Spell-based deck and the Trap-negating card they're going to shove in isn't Decree or The Unsummonable Sorcerer of Dead Draw Magic.
