One of my most wanted Spellcaster Monster FINALLY came out. Geesh. But I gotta say... CAME OUT A BIT LATE! But still... lets rate it.
Magician's Valkyria
Dark / Spellcaster / level 4
1600 ATK / 1800 DEF
Your opponent cannot select another Spellcaster-Type monster on your side of the field as an attack target.
Okay, wow, it's pretty short, and obvious that we've seen these types of effects before. It's the effects of Command Knight, Marauding Captain, Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower, etc. Basically, you either HAVE to attack that, or have to attack another type other then that card. Oh, and if they get 2x of the same card name on the field, you can't attack at all period. The difference is that it's for Spellcasters.
Obviously, it's for spellcaster deck. yeah. It either in a Spellcaster themed deck, or just don't run it at all. It's 1600ATK is decent, but it cannot be searched by Sangan or Shining Angel. (But Angel isn't a spellcaster so it doesn't belong with that anyway.)
Now, I said that it's a bit late cause this is like one of the fewest good spellcaster Light monsters out there. There is Magician of Faith, and then... umm... Time Wizard? White Magical Hat? Mythical Beast Cerberus? Other then the broken Faith, it's pretty much the Cerberus with Rush Recklessly to boost that to 2600ATK. Now, why am I nagging with Spellcaster Light, cause of Chaos Sorcerer! I mean, people "tried" to make a Spellcaster Deck with Chaos Sorcerer splashed cause we all know MoF and then Chaos are the two brokenly good Spellcasters. (Yes, there's also a Dark Magician of Chaos) There were PLENTY of Dark Spellcasters to choose, but oh so little Spellcaster Lights to pair it up with for the theme. And NOW it out, AFTER Chaos got banned... a bit late here buddy...
So why should you get this. Well, with 1600ATK, the only real other higher level 4 Spellcaster beatstick is Kycoo and maybe Skilled Dark Magician. That's something worth saying. Not to mention if you run multiple spellcasters, it can protect them from being attacked first. And the obvious, get 2 out and you got a lockdown.
And finally, it's one of the most cute and hottest YGO card pic ever! I mean, it's a "cool" looking version of Dark Magician Girl. We got the smiling sweetheart of Dark Magician Girl that's pretty much the #1 icon of YGO chick cards, and then the cute as hell Toon Dark Magician Girl you wanna hug, and this "Badass" looking Dark Magician Girl with an additude. The interesting thing is, while the cute ones are "dark", this more serious looking one is "light" (Although it still got that cute blushing cheek)

Tell me that doesn't look like a badass hot piece of Dark Magician Girl. The pic itself is a 10/10 LOL!
In the end, I give it a
5 out of 10
I WOULD have given a 8 out of 10 if Chaos Sorcerer still had no restrictions. I mean, if you wanted to run a spellcaster deck and splash Chaos Sorcerer, it pretty much demanded to run this card.
