Toon Table of Contents TP6-EN002/DB2-EN121

Toon Table of Contents
Normal Spell

Add 1 card from your Deck to your hand that includes "Toon" in its card name, or is named "Manga Ryu-Ran".

"¢ There are no published rulings for "Toon Table of Contents".

Ah, Toon Table of Contents, the king of deck thinning. Running 3 of these, regardless of deck, makes you in essence run a 37 card deck, assuming you ran 40 at the beginning. It's also an incredible search card for Toons, or Manga Ryu-Ran, if you are so inclined. >_>

This card comboes greatly with any card that requires a Spell Card as a discard, play 2 of them, each pulling the next, then discard the last one for the cost of that card. 's also great deck thinning, and splashing one Toon Cannon Soldier or one Toon Gemini Elf will make it so that you actually have a use for TToC besides thinning.

This card is a normal spell, so that's good. It's also a searcher card, so that's a plus. It helps turn Skilled Dark Magicians into Dark Magicians in 1 turn as well.

This card is a horrible, flat out horrible topdeck, even in a toon deck. Granted, you will most likely gain field presence by the monster you pull via TToC, but the monster can't attack that turn, most likely.

When playing this card, like I say for Reinforcements of the Army, be reactive. Play this when you need an answer, not just to play it.

The best deck for this card is a Toon deck, of course, but 3 of these can be a handy splash when you need quick thinning.

Advanced: 4/5 Lack of s/t removal always helps.
Traditional: 3/5 Still good searching, but Imperial Order shafts this card.
Sealed Pack: 4/5 Rather nice, seeing as how a lot of Toons are commons in DB2.
Limited: 4/5 Good here, provided we're talking DB2.

Time to visit an ol' decktype that little by little gets more and more support it. Today's being Toon Table of Contents.

What can I say? The effect is pretty straight forward. A combination of Sangan and witch. This thing will let you search for a toon monster and add it to your hand. Not only does it ignore ATK/DEF strength but can also search out Toon World. See, Sangan, witch and Terraforming all roll into one. This card's a godsend in a Toon deck. No cost or restrictions (for the moment). Its very versatile. Whatever you need at the moment that has toon its name, this card will get it for you.

There are two ways you can use this card. Be aggressive and keep searching monsters or Toon World's spells to put in your hand/ or summon them in the case of monsters. As soon as a certain toon card leaves the field, you already have one ready to replace it. Another way is just hold on to it until you really need to use it. Having so many toon cards in your hand is also bad if you go up against hand obliteration decks.

Use Magician of Faiths in the deck. You'll want to be able to play this card as often as you need it. By the same token carry a few cards to stop negation. That is this card's number one enemy. Clear the field because the one card you don't want activating is Curse Seal of the Forbidden Spell.

Obviously this card can only truly work in toon deck or at least a deck that has a decent amount of toon monsters(the normal summon ones). With all the LV 4 toons around, you can swarm the field quite easily so long as you have a Toon World. Don't have one or the one you did got destroyed/discard? No problem, Table of Contents will get you another one.

In advanced format, this card is gold in a toon deck. It can replace whatever toon card you need. 4/5

Things get a little tricky in traditional. Continuous spells and traps don't last long here so odds are you be using this to get Toon World.The card itself is good. Its the decktype that may have a little problem. 3/5

I hope you say sealed format, you're talkin' about Dark Beginings 2 because otherwise this card is useless in TP6. Only one Toon and its the rarest card in the set. Not happening unless its DB2. TP6 0/5, DB2 3/5 (assuming you get those toon cards)

It is a great deck thinner. Toon decks really have no excuse not to run the maximum 3.

Exodia decks should make sweet love down by the fire to this card.

I had a swell idea of running 3 of these along with a Toon Cannon Soldier (or 2) and 3 Thunder Dragons into a Chaos deck to really abuse the speed and to get to the necessary LIGHTS and DARKS much quicker.

 

[chaos general]

Definitely a staple in triples in a Toon Deck and Exodia Deck. Gather Your Mind my eye, this card pwns that.

Actually, this combos well with a Class B Toon and Book of Taiyou. Thin your deck AND attack with the monster same turn. Also, you lose the Torrential Tribute threat (since a Set isn't a Summon, nor is a flip due to a card effect). I can't count the number of times I've seen a suprize Torrential Tribute cause someone to lose inches away from winning...
