Dark Magician Beatdown

2 things usually happen everytime:

-Dead draws
-counter monsters get wiped before they get enough counters (ie:skill dark magician)

so i guess it basically seems to lack a ton of consistency. Serious fixes are needed, any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you need buster blader in there, unless you REALLY want his fusion monster.  instead, you can put chaos sorcerer, givin that you have a decent balance between light and dark monsters. I recommend that you look at one of the two spellcaster structure decks for card and stradegy ideas.

Yeah, I agree with jaxophone, but if you want to play Dark Paladin, you can change it to King of the Swamp, so you could a Supreme Arcanite Magician to Extra! Arcane Barrier for a better draw?
Mmmh to resolve the problem of wiped counter monster, why not trying Spell Power Grasp ?
Then I find bad playing Secret Village with all that monster needing spell activation to gain counter (ex: Skilled Dark/White Magician)
And I think Heavy Storm would be better than Dark Magic Attack ..
But this deck giave me an idea, thank you!

thx for the tips, im deciding 2 keep paladin in there although its probably highly unlikely even though i have summoned him before. I have updated this deck and this is what it currently looks like:



it seems to be a little more consistent, any more tips would be nice.

-1 Lightning Vortex
-1 Magical Mallet

+1 Upstart Goblin
+1 Allure of Darkness


Lightning vortex isn't a very good card. Magical Mallet is a straight up reset. 

Allure gives more draw capability, and Upstart makes your deck a 38 card deck, as you already have one. Additionally you could ditch the card next to MST (Can't remember it's name) and go for another Upstart to make it a 37 card deck. 

Completely optional.


Also, since you have a nice balance for chaos. You could ditch Magician's Circles and add a BLS and Chaos Sorcerer

Agreed with Salader.

Also, power spell grasp is worthless without the citadel or magical exemplar.

If you're going to play gagaga magician, at least play gagaga kid alongside it.

Skilled white magician is worthless, so is magician's valkyria. Gah, anything buster blader is useless, it's a dead draw. Paladin isn't worth the effort, and if you want paladin then use king of the swamp instead.

Frequency magician is a waste, but all spellcaster tuners are pretty underwhelming. Stick to night end's sorcerer, at least it has an almost descent attack.

Merge with Spellbooks.

Problem solved.

That's lazy, Centrik. Don't be lazy.
