I'd prefer not having cards like Solemn Judgment that reduce my own Life Points. Sure, the effect is good, but the cost is too high. I'd do it if I had something like Solemn Wishes which I could use to increase my Life Points.
And I'd prefer it I keep the Dark Magician Girl in there to combo with Sage's Stone. Magician of Black Chaos and Sorcerer of Dark Magic for the beatstick purpose and (the latter) for anti-Trap control. And the Deck already has three Dark Magicians, Buster Blader, and Dark Paladin.
I put in Effect Veiler so I could use her effect to negate effects, but if you could suggest a better option that isn't a Tuner or an Xyz monster, I'd be willing to take her out.
As for Xyx monsters--please suggest some good Warrior and Spellcaster Types that I can put in that would be good in the Deck.
If it's okay, I want to keep the Card Count at 47 with Dark Magician of Chaos and Dedication through Light and Darkness added. I'll take the Tuners out if you can suggest good replacements for Effect Velier; also, let me just ask: is it a bad thing for a Dark Magician Deck to have Synchro Monsters? I want to at least have Arcanite Magician, as I also want to be a Spellcaster Deck, with a few Warrior touches.
I wonder if it'd be good to keep one Magician of Black Chaos and one
Black Magic Ritual and replace other set with the second Mystical Space
Typhoon and Magic Formula (since I want to keep that in to power Dark
Magician or Dark Magician Girl up). I'm thinking of adding in another Magic Formula for the DMG, but I probably won't do it.
I'm going to be buying the Prophecy Destroyer Tin and the Return of the Duelist Booster Box as well, since I'm thinking of merging a Spellbook/Prophecy Deck with a Dark Magician Deck. With some good Synchros and Xyz.
