Forum:Potential Danger Dark Magician deck - need advice

Hi, it's been a bit. Anyway, I'll cut to the chase. I'm retooling my original Yugi deck into something a bit different. I want to try my hand at some competitive dueling, but I find most of the "current" meta decks to be either too cut-and-paste or just not my style (Pendulum Magician's being the exception, though thanks to the new rules, Pendulum Summoning is a bit trickier to me). I wanted to retool my "Dark Magician" deck into something that might squeak out a victory in a local or something, just to see for myself what I can do. So, that brings me to my question regarding it: would the "Danger!" engine help it?

I've been fortunate enough to nab some Danger monsters from packs (a game store near me went out of business, so they were practically giving away booster boxes, allowing me to get some normally high-priced cards at dirt-cheap prices), and I've heard that Danger has had a lot of success in other decks (Thunder Dragon, Orcust, and even Blue-Eyes, to name a few), so I wondered if they'd help me, too. So far, I've gotten 3 of Mothman, Jackalope, and Dogman, 2 of Nessie, and 1 of Bigfoot and Tsuchinoko, as well as a handful of support cards.

Since I'm mostly shifting my focus to Dark Magician (and Spellcasters in general), as well as waiting for some extra card orders, I won't post the deck just yet, as there is a lot of adjustments going on in it. But, for the most part, it contains the Dark Magician core (Rod, Circle, Apprentice, and Eternal), the Magician Girls, and some new support like "Bond Between Teacher and Student", as well as certain cards like "Witch of the Black Forest", "Dark Renewal", "Magician Navigation", "Magicians' Defense", "Dark Burning Magic" and so on. And, obviously, staples like "Monster Reborn" and "Raigeki". I also got lucky in some other pulls and got the Knightmare trio (Phoenix, Unicorn, Cerberus), and "Borrelsword Dragon".

But, in any case, my question stands: will the Dangers help my deck? I admit it's been years since I built a "real" deck (as in a non-fun deck), so I'm quite rusty in that regard. But I wanted to know if I can upgrade my DM deck into rogue-level viable using Dangers? And what other cards would work here, as well? Also, I tend to work best with large decks (I like having a lot of "ammo", so to speak), even though I know it ends up in the "awesome, but impractical" category, I just function better with larger decks.
