A great versatile persona and strong identity, with original and fun scrying mechanism (Magik's ability + Limbo, is reminiscent of LOTR's Gandalf + Wizard's Pipe), and a lot of events and upgrades against the most problems : thwart, attack, defense, steady, retaliate, piercing, cards recursiveness and so on. The game style is subtle and call thinking at the table. Great in multiplayer and in true solo, in all aspects. I personally have a preference for Magik in Protection.

Play with the top card of your deck faceup.
Once per phase, you may play the top card of your deck as if it was in your hand, reducing its resource cost by 1.

IMPORTANT to remember when building a Magik deck.
Her ability triggers once each PHASE (not round)
extremely useful for responses during villain phase. As you can use defense cards on top deck. Makes getting Limbo out even more important
