I have recently come around to the fact that Pend Magicians are best played in Master Duel as a 60 card deck to dilute the bricks you need to play, like gaze of tim, Timegazer, and Stargazer, while also allowing you to fit a complete set of Magician and Supreme King cards. Playing with 40 I would oftentimes simply run out of Magicians in deck by turn 3 which really hurt comebacks. Extra deck is incredibly tight, the DMOD package could potentially but cut but its such a free ommni, despite the fact that gaze is permantly glued to my hand. Starving Venom is not always useful but can be pretty good to pop the second Double Iris. Magician of Hope is also kinda niche, its an extender that pretty much just exists to trigger the extra pend summon from Pend Evo which is only sometimes useful.
