Magician

Magician (四道; shidou) is a family in the Battle Spirits trading card game. 
It premiered in BS02. Magicians are mainly Yellow in color, with a few exceptions. They revolve around the theme of playing cards and the name, having a literal translation of "four ways", most probably comes from the four suits in playing cards. Many of them have "Arcana" in the name, while a lot of their art and design are related to the four suits: Spade, Heart, Diamond, and Club, or the figures and numbers in playing cards. Famous stories like "The Wizard of Oz" and "Alice in the Wonderland" are also references for the family. 
Revolving around the "arcana"-named cards, the family receives its first X-rare, Arcanamaster-Oz, in Heroes saga. Supports for the family also ended in Heroes Saga, however, and didn't appear again until Advent Saga, the era which the family became a major deck in main set. The new deck is themed after Alice in the Wonderland, and focuses on . In the lore, the Magicians at the time was led by The Wonderland Alice, who has corrupted The WonderKing Siegfried-Madhatter. 
In early Grand-Advent era, wonderland supports continued to exist for a while. And from primal era onward, the family appears from time to time, serving as secondary family to cards that are playing cards or gamble related. In Contract Era, it becomes a major secondary family to The PartnerCat Fermat, besides Imaginary Beast. 
On the collaboration side, it is the main family of Kamen Rider Blade's deck, as the series is exactly based on playing cards.
