In Yu-Gi-Oh, atleast as far as the anime is concerned, there are two Types that since time immemorial tend to shine the brightest...Dragon and Spellcaster.
Dragons have sort of expanded beyond their original scope as the rival boss monster to become the ace of numerous protagonists...Yusei, Yuya, Yusaku...while Spellcasters have kind of sat back as important "secondary aces", or have been replaced by Warriors depending on the series.
That being said, there's a healthy lineage of Spellcasters throughout the Yu-Gi-Oh series so let's show some love!
Yu-Gi-Oh Sevens is the first series since really the original to bring back the Spellcaster ace in the form of Sevens Road Magician, aka...Twink Dark Magician? He's got a really fun effect where you discard a card from your deck, and then he gains 300x ATK added to his base 2100 for each different Element in your GY. This is a fun effect to use I feel and is also a nice effect for an anime protagonist, since that card discard to activate the effect may be the very Element needed to boost his ATK over the opponent.
Anyway, this card is the signature card for the Rush Format more or less and I think is pretty solid...fun design that fits the more child-friendly format, an easy to understand but useful effect, and a decent amount of support. Most of his support also works with Dark Magician (limited one per deck in Rush Duel), as they're coded to support Dark Spellcasters (Level 7 or over in some cases), which is pretty fun. It's rare an ace monsters has supported a previous protagonist ace monster like this.
