Forum:Dark Magician Help!

Ok, so i tried out a spell counter deck but i don't really like the feel of it so i want to start over with a deck with Dark Magician and all his forms! The only problem is I have absolutely no idea how to make a good Dark Magician deck. All i know is that i want it to include:

Dark Eradicator Warlock Dark Paladin (maybe...) Dark Sage etc, etc...

I'll be honest. I have NO idea how to make this deck. I know Skilled Dark Magician is a must (so is Time Wizard for Dark Sage and maybe Buster Blader...) but aside from that I'm at a loss. Any constructive comments welcome!


 * Dark Magician decks usually have some DM staples such as: Dark Magic Attack, Dark Magic Curtain, Thousand Knives (though Smashing Ground and Fissure are better in my opinion). Run 3 Skilled Dark Magician and 3 DMs, along with 2 or 3 Dark Magician Girl. Use Magician's Circle to get DMG out, then use Sage's Stone to get out a DM. I would limit the other DM forms to 1 or 2, lest they become dead draws. Lastly, throw in some spellcaster staples such as Defender, the Magical Knight, Apprentice Magician, Old Vindictive Magician and Magical Exemplar. Hope that helped.

Oh believe me, it helped!

one more question. Normally, i like to keep decks from going over 50 cards, but i've heard people saying to not go over 40. Should i keep my own aim at 50 or less? Or should i ensure 40 cards?

Also, should i bother with dark paladin seeing as how it needs dragons to function well?

Here's what i got: DM x3, SDM x3, DMG x2, Dark Sage x1, Time Wizard x2, D., the Magical Knight x1, Breaker the M. Warrior x1, D. Eradicator Warlock x1, Sorcerer of DM x1, DM Knight x1, Magical Exemplar x1, Old Vindictive x1

Thousand Knives x1, Dark Magic Curtain x1, Knight Templar x1, Monster Reborn x1, Dark Magic Attack x1, Secret Village of the Spellcasters x1, Sage's Stone x2, Swords of Revealing Light x1, Magical Dimension x2

Magician's Circle x2, Negate Attack x1, Mirror Force x2, Magical Cylinder x1

My DM deck!
I just create a forum with my decks (A few decks) and one of them is a DM deck, and is one of my favorites, and don't think about the number of cards in a deck, because depends on the deck itself, some decks work with 40 cards, some works with 50, and some even with 60! Well, here is my deck, and it works so great and have 50 cards! I hope you like it! Fawlker 23:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmmmmmmmm... add Dark Bribe and Miracle Restoring huh? Sounds interesting. It would be nice to have Dark Paladin...

Two things though. Where do you get spell counters for Miracle Resurection (that's its name, right?) and also, what would be a good Synchro Monster? Arcanite Magician?


 * Well, you have Arcanite Magician, Tempest Magician, Explosive Magician, and of course, the other Synchro monsters like Goyo Guardian and Stardust Dragon. Ah, and the trap's name is Miracle Restoring, not Resurection, you get spell counters from Frequency Magician, Skilled Dark Magician, Breaker the Magical Warrior, Defender, the Magical Knight, and with Crusader of Endymion you can put and spell counter on that monsters once per turn ;P! If you like you can change one monster for Silent Magician LV4, it also get spell counters, just don't put the LV8, is useless. There is also this Spell Power Grasp, could help too ;)!!

I'm gonna drop Dark Sage and the 2 Time Wizards. Please suggest monsters! Also, isn't there some card that could lessen the damage DM Curtain puts on you?

I only have 15 Monsters. I'd like at least 22.

Forget the suggesting monster thing. I would just to like to know: IS DARK PALADIN WORTH IT EVEN THOUGH HE ISN'T A SPELLCASTER? Aside from that, that is it! Thanks for all the awesome help :D
