Yugioh spell reflector is a card in the Yugioh trading card game that can be used to protect oneself from powerful spell cards. This card has the ability to reflect any spell card back at the opponent, causing them to suffer the effects instead. The spell reflector card can be a valuable asset in a deck, especially when facing an opponent who relies heavily on spell cards. By using this card strategically, a player can turn the tables and use their opponent's spells against them. However, it should be noted that the spell reflector card does have its limitations. It can only reflect spell cards, not trap cards or monster effects.
In my debut novel, The Witch Haven, 17-year-old seamstress Frances Hallowell is whisked off to Haxahaven Academy, a school for witches disguised as a tuberculosis sanitarium. Frances’s world of 1911 New York resembles my own adolescence in suburban Utah in exactly zero ways, but there was nothing I longed for more as a teenager than to be taken away to a magic boarding school. In my teenage fantasies, I lived in a crumbling castle and wore a cute plaid skirt and there was also someone (was he a mysterious boy with curly hair and piercing eyes? That’s my business!) who would teach me witchcraft.
My biggest problem is that while I wanted it to be empowering for the unruly Black hair to have actual magic powers, using the powers made her sick as a matter of course, and that undermined a lot of the Black hair positivity for me. This leads to something that she only realizes is an outburst of magic after she is invited to attend Belles Demoiselles, a six-week-long magic academy finishing school.
It can only reflect spell cards, not trap cards or monster effects. Additionally, once the spell reflector card has been used to reflect a spell, it is sent to the graveyard and cannot be used again. Therefore, it is important for players to use this card wisely and choose the right moment to activate its effect.

As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m always excited for a good magical school story, and I’ve been so excited to see how many of them have been coming out this year, especially starring Black girls. You can take your pick between a school set in historic manor in Louisiana and one set at a futuristic school in Nigeria.
Wildseed Witch by Marti Dumas. Abrams, 2022. ISBN 978-1419755613. Read from library copy.
New Orleans middle schooler Hassani has two main goals: to make it as a YouTuber with her channel “Makeup on the CheapCheap” to get her separated parents to reunite. So when her father takes her to meet his new partner, Sandy, after they’ve already bought a house together, Hassani is outraged. This leads to something that she only realizes is an outburst of magic after she is invited to attend Belles Demoiselles, a six-week-long magic academy/finishing school.
Of course Hassani is thrilled to go, but once there, finds the school filled with girls who’ve been practicing their magic for years and all have clothing and room decor to match their “signature flowers,” and look down on Hassani and her dollar store YouTube channel. The rules are unclear but the punishments are strict, leaving Hassani to wonder if she’s in the right place after all. But with a good deal of effort, she does learn more about her powers and her flaws, makes some friends – and perhaps most importantly to the child reader, learns to use her powers to attract adorable kittens.
I was a bit torn about this book. On the one hand, it’s grounded in Black New Orleans history with all-Black characters at the school, while Hassani’s best friend at home is Latina. I also liked that Hassani was able to recognize and address her own biases and work to fix problems she’s caused other people. On the other hand, this magic school had an emphasis on traditionally feminine etiquette that did not appeal to me at all. And the teachers didn’t seem to realize until almost the end of the book that they were punishing Hassani for not meeting expectations they’d never clarified to her, which seemed unnecessarily unkind. That being said, between the magic, the relatable friend and family dynamics, the quest for YouTube stardom, and of course, the kittens, I could see a lot of kids really enjoying this book.
Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun by Tọlá Okogwu. Read by Nneka Okogwu. Margaret K. McElderry Books, 2022. ISBN 9781665912617. Listened to audiobook on Libby.
Onyeka and her mother have always just scraped by, moving from one cheap apartment to another. She’s never met her father, and her mother has never told her anything about him or why they moved to London from Nigeria. Onyeka’s always wondered, especially because her big, wild hair seems to set people in England on edge. But when her hair saves her best friend from drowning, she finally learns the truth: she is Solari, and called to go to a state-run school in Nigeria to learn how to use her powers. In this near-future story, Nigeria leads the world in technology, and the students have lots of high-tech help in their missions. defending the school from the Rogues. Onyeka makes friends and finds community, but also learns that not all is as it seems at the school that at first feels like a dream come true.
This is a fast-paced thriller of a story, with lots of good things going for it, including Onyeka, mysteries and plot twists (though the plot twist seemed fairly obvious to me, it probably wouldn’t to a younger reader.) I really enjoyed watching (or listening to) Onyeka learn to use her powers, and the audiobook version let me hear the accents in all their glory, from London to Lagos. My biggest problem is that while I wanted it to be empowering for the unruly Black hair to have actual magic powers, using the powers made her sick as a matter of course, and that undermined a lot of the Black hair positivity for me. Still, this is a valuable addition to the magical school roster.

Reviews for "The Best Yugioh Spell Reflector Combos and Synergies"
1. Karen - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Yugioh spell reflector. I thought it would be a cool addition to my deck, but it just didn't live up to my expectations. The card's effect was so minimal, and it didn't really help me in any of my duels. I felt like it was a waste of a card slot in my deck, and I regretted purchasing it. Overall, I would not recommend the Yugioh spell reflector to anyone looking for a useful and effective card.
2. Mike - 2 stars - I found the Yugioh spell reflector to be rather underwhelming. It claims to reflect spell cards, but in reality, it rarely ever came into play during my duels. The times it did activate, it didn't have a significant impact on the outcome of the game. I believe there are much better spell cards out there that can offer more strategic value and versatility. I was hoping for more from the Yugioh spell reflector, but it fell short of my expectations.
3. Jessica - 2 stars - I wasn't impressed with the Yugioh spell reflector. While it may serve a purpose in certain situations, I found that it was situational at best and didn't offer enough consistency to warrant its inclusion in my deck. The limited number of spell cards it could reflect, combined with its low chance of activation, made it a lackluster card in my experience. I would suggest exploring other spell cards that have a more useful effect in a variety of scenarios.
