Forum:Spellcaster Deck

I haven't played the game in a while (3+ years), but I'm starting to get back into it because my younger brother and my friends are starting to play it again. I am making this in the advanced format so that I can enter a local tournament as well. This deck is based around spellcasters, most notably the Dark Magician and Dark Magician of Chaos. I started with the Spellcaster's Judgment deck and modified so that it would work for advanced format tournaments. I want this deck to be able to swarm the field with spellcasters, especially the Dark Magician and Dark Magician of Chaos. I also posted my side deck. I took a look at the side decks and main decks of the top 16 duelists in the SJC tournaments and the 2008 National tournament to see which cards would best help me counter some of the metagame. I realize that Dark Magician decks aren't too popular considering he isn't that good of monster, but I also want to use one of my favorite monsters because I have more fun playing the game this way. Please help me make my deck competitive, any suggestions are appreciated (main deck, side deck, anything)! I would also like to incorporate Dark Paladin to my deck. I have 1 Dark Paladin and 2 Buster Bladers. If that's too much for now, just help me improve the deck without the Dark Paladin. Animedude3000 03:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
