Spellcaster Deck No. 1
Please comment on this deck and tell me where I could improve. Also, I was thinking I could replace some cards for these cards:another Endymion, the Master Magician, another Chaos Sorcerer, a Blast Magician, another Magical Exemplar, Black Horn of Heaven, Reload, Magical Blast, Half or Nothing,Summoner Monk, Magicians Unite, Spell Absorption, Heavy Storm,Chaos Command Magician, The Stern Mystic, Yami,Cold Wave, and Rainbow Life. I was also thinking about which cards I should replace for 2 more Magician's Circles, 1 or 2 more Magical Dimensions,1 or 2 more Crusader of Endymions, and any other cards that may be of use. In addition, I'd like to know if I should use the Silent Magician series, how many copies of each card I should use, and what cards to replace for them. I was also wondering how many Secret Village of the Spellcasters I should use, and what cards to replace for them.Also, should I use Synchro Monsters? If so, what cards in my deck should I replace for what tuners? If you recommend me using a certain card, please tell me which card to replace because I have a 60 card deck. And no, I WILL NOT reduce my deck to 40 cards. Any suggestions will be welcome, and thank you.

-I'm sorry but you are a fool for not reducing your cards to at least 46 if you are going to keep your deck at 60 cards you are playing the wrong game and will NEVER win with that amount of cards in your dekc I'm sorry but it takes someone really prideful and unwilling to change to say I won't change the numbero of cards in my deck. Please change to pokemon where you have to have 60 cards in your deck. As to modi fications to your deck you wouldn't listen if anyone did give you advice.

Spellcaster Deck No. 2
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)

Nice, I like it. However, Vampire Lord seems to be thrown in for no apparent reason, if you're incorporating Dark Paladin, you should replace him with Buster Blader, if not, replace it with a good Spellcaster, like Dark Magician Girl since you have three Dark Magicians'. Also, a Sorcerer of Dark Magic is nice top have, even though it's rather hard to summon. I don't see the need for 2 Dedication through Light and Darkness if you only have one Dark Magician of Chaos. Also, 3 of both Apprentice Magician and Magical Dimension are absolutely necessary. Some Crystal Seers' wouldn't hurt, but it's rather hard to find. If you're going to run Spell counter cards I suggest a Pitch-Black Power Stone or two. Also, I might take out some traps for some Magic cards, once again since you are using Spell Counter cards. Still, very nice. 70.243.8.196 05:15, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Yea Vampire Lord is out of place, I'll take a look through my cards to see what I can replace him with. I'll take him out and the 2nd Dedication through Light and Darkness. I was thinking about having a 3rd Magical Dimension, but you're right, it's pretty much a necessity for this deck. I'll add in the other 2 Apprentice magicians. I don't have any Crystal Seer's, but I'll find a friend I can trade with. If I took out a couple of trap cards for 2 Pitch-Black Power Stone's, which trap cards should I take out? Thanks for all the help so far. :) Animedude3000 06:05, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Take out Judgment of Anubis, it usually doesn't see many opportunities to trigger, and also a Reckless Greed, as at times it can leave you pretty helpless when run on its own. --Gadjiltron 10:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Okay. I've updated my deck to include 3 Apprentice Magician and 3 Magical Dimension. I took out Judgment of Anubis and Reckless Greed for 2 Pitch-Black Power Stone. I also took out the Vampire Lord. I have 44 cards now, but does that seem like too many? What would be the best way to incorporate the Dark Paladin? Should I put in 2 Polymerization's and 2 Buster Blader's and take out a couple of the lower leveled monsters? Thanks for all the help so far. Animedude3000 01:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't deck more then one Buster Blader, he isn't a Spellcaster and is really a dead draw if you can't fuse him right away.

You can deck as many Polymerizations as you want, but If you deck two there's the chance you draw it when you need something else, so I suggest one, but go with 2 if you want. 70.243.8.196 04:08, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok I tried using Buster Blader and Dark Paladin, but it made my deck much slower so I decided to not use them at all. I guess if I were going to make a Dark Paladin deck, I would've made it completely different. I'm thinking about adding my Injection Fairy Lily to my deck, but I'm not sure if 45 cards is too much. Should I add it in there, or should I replace a card in my deck with Injection Fairy Lily? If I do replace a card in my deck with IFL, which card should I replace? Another question, should I replace my Magic Cylinder with Mirror Force?Animedude3000 22:46, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

After much deck testing, I've decided to remove Blast Magician and Mei-Kou, Master of Barriers for 2 more Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer. Those cards didn't seem to help in most situations, whereas Kycoo's ability to remove monsters from play helps me against the Lightsworn decks I've played against (as well as other deck types). I've also replaced my Magic Cylinder for Mirror Force since it gives me better crowd control. What do you guys think of replacing Mythical Beast Cerberus with Injection Fairy Lily? I've also noticed that I've had too many trap cards so I am going to replace some of them with Shrink and Royal Decree to give me better field control. Also, while Chaos Command Magician has good attack for a 6 star monster, I feel as though his effect isn't too helpful. Is there another 5-6 star spellcaster (or any star monster) that would make my deck faster? Also, are 45 cards too many? Any suggestions are appreciated. Animedude3000 03:04, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

First a Comment:
 * Apprentice Magician's targets are very limited - only to 2 Old Vindictive Magician. If you are planning to run three Apprentices, then you should consider adding more low-leveled spellcasters, or don't run them at all.

Fixes:
 * +1 Diffusion Wave-Motion
 * -1 Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer: cutting down more minor cards. you have too many monsters.
 * -3 Apprentice Magician: you only have 2 targets for this card as said before.
 * -1 Mythical Beast Cerberus: not needed.

Hope that helps cutting down to 40 cards. Chris427 05:03, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

So wat about magician's circle? i would put at least 2 of them in. Romanovajax 14:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the recommendations. If I put in 2 Crystal Seers, should I still take out the Apprentice Magicians? I think I'm going to replace the 2 Royal Magical Library for the Crystal Seers. Which 2 traps should I replace with 2 Magician's Circles? Animedude3000 02:15, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Targets are still too few. In the case of replacing Royal Library for Crystal Seers, I agree. But you will have to remove 1 Apprentice Magician. The range is still too small. Chris427 06:40, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Keep the Apprentice Magicians, remove the Royal Magic Library's. Remove Seven Tools of the Bandit and a Magic Drain. SuperTeddy 06:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC) I think you should put in Sorcerer of Dark Magic ~J.c.onapogostick

i decided this deck when i tested it its very strong if you will try this you'll know. Here are some advantages that makes this deck strong. magicians valkyria: equip it w/ mist body so your opponent couldn't attack you, spell reclamation and dian keto the cure master: for infinite life points and infinite spell counters. magical mallet: for returning arcanite magician/assault mode from your hand to the deck, the tricky,magical exemplar: you can fasten the summon of arcanite magician by special summoning the tricky and use the effect of magical exemplar to summon arcane apprentice and its effect you can get assault mode activate from the deck turning it to arcanite magician/assaultmode faster, apprentice magician: fasten also a summon of a tuner spellcaster like night's end sorcerer and arcane apprentice for a fast synchro summon,  tempest magician,crusader of endymion and arcanite magician assault mode:use the effect of tempest magician adding more spell counter for arcanite and you can also use crusader of endymion and spell reclamation for its spell counter use magical citadel of endymion for using the effect of arcanite magician/assault mode for retaining its attack, defender and citadel combined it would be hard for your opponent to destroy your spellcaster monsters, ancient fairy dragon for getting magical citadel easily,

=Dark Magician Deck= I know it's going to sound cock, but I can honestly say I have the worst Spellcaster deck out there...
 * Mainly because it's defeated and I've played against some crap decks including Monarchs, which are hella annoying and those wimpy Elemental Hero decks..
 * Here's my deck list, check it out, get ideas or copy it, I don't mind - and I have to add that this is a really fun deck to use especially when making a comeback...
 * If you have any questions as to why a certain card is relevant in the deck, please email me at isuckdick91@yahoo.com

well, i think it's very impressive since battling a spellcaster deck usually has a Secret Village of the Spellcasters. The only thing I'm bothered is having 3 Defender, the Magical Knight in your deck. a Defender, the Magical Knight can't "defend" without spellcounters, and your deck has few cards to put spellcounters on. I can say at least have 2 Defender, the Magical Knight in your deck. --SilentHero26 10:12, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you there, I have bumped into that problem but I have them there for sacrificial purposes, i.e. Chaos Sorcerer. I have three exactly because I don't really have any spell counter support. Don't really leave on the field that long anyway and they help defend my Magician's Valkyria. --Stardust24 23:54, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

You got me there but the other thing i'm bothered (again) is having 3 Apprentice Magician in the deck while having only 2 Old Vindictive Magician. Its seems you have few to choose from in apprentice's effect. Being that said, you can replace a Defender, the Magical Knight for a Copycat or so... Copycat is also a LIGHT monster, can be a really annoying to the enemy, and can be summoned by apprentice (granted that the opponent doesn't attack again!.) well, that's my opinion ^^. --SilentHero26 07:21, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

I actually appreciate the questions because usually I wouldn't know how to answer them but because I LOVE this deck, I know what's what. You're right about Copycat and I'll think about it but I know I'll find something wrong with it later, lol. Having 3 Apprentice Magicians and only 2 Old Vindictive Magician works well towards my advantage in more ways than one.

--Stardust24 14:49, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I can stall with Apprentice Magicians while I get the necessary cards in my hand
 * It lets me reshuffle my deck
 * I need 5 Dark Monsters in my Graveyard for The Dark Creator so getting my Apprentice Magicians and the Old Vindictive Magicians in my graveyard as soon as possible helps out in the long run of the duel.
 * Deck thinning, I'm guaranteed 5 less cards in my deck
 * Pot of Avarice - if I'm down on my luck, I know I can rely on using Pot of Avarice, giving me back 5 monsters to stall and it lets me draw 2 cards.

You should add Magical Citadel of Endymion and 3 or 2 Spell Power Grasps. These cards help you get spell counters on cards faster, and they make better use of the 3 Defenders in your deck.

It would be good in a deck that features a Spell Counter showdown, but my deck is almost a beatdown style deck... Besides, it would be a dead draw for me considering there are a lot of cards I need in my deck, but thanks for the suggestion. --Stardust24 15:14, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Why not have a Synchro Boost in the deck [Spider Ruler]

Spellcaster deck No. 3
Yea it seems like a good deck to enter tournaments in but if you arent playing in tournaments then that deck doesnt stand a chance on of the main promblems is that you need more cards. A deck of 40 wont last you to long especally since i played against really amazing decks.


 * Erm, what? I'd refute your main points, but I'm not completely sure what those ARE... I'll take a guess and say that you're suggesting that more cards is better. This is generally untrue. Runer5h 03:29, November 27, 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

i know my earlier points dont make much sense because i was rushing but through my past experiance i can honestly say that decks of 40 cards wont last long and this is generally true.

Disagree. Runner5h is true. 40 cards is enough. The lesser there are the bigger chance to get the card that you want especially if it is a Limited cards.11:04, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

RUNER (1 N: sorry, but it annoys me when that gets messed up). And yes, it is true. Less is generally better. You can focus your strategy much better with a smaller deck count. Runer5h 20:31, November 30, 2009 (UTC)Runer5h,

Hey why not make a deck with the Wdjat spellcasters, Relinquished, Man with Wdjat, Copycat those ones! Soundeffex 20:12, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
