One more thing I feel like I need to get rid of one of my tribute cards from my deck. Which one?
Chaos Command Magician
Socerer of Dark magic
Dark Magician of Chaos

[YOGR81]

You have too many monsters that you don't need.. I would say that your "Theme" needs a little of work. if you really want to be a true "Dark Magician" deck duelist, then I would suggest you choose what kind of Magicians do u want.. Either a Dark Magician/Dark Paladin combo, or Dark Magician/Sorcerer of Dark Magic, or Dark Magicain w/ Dark Magician of Chaos... pick one that works.. in my deck I have a Dark Paladin combo with Catapult combo. It works for me, cause it will confuse my victims when I crush them.. Some may say that you need to choose one or the other. But don't listen to them.. Put yourself in a scenario, like "What if they got rid of my strongest magicians?" Then you should have a back up plan with another monster...
Hope it helps..

take out sorccerer of dark magic out

[dd warrior man]

you also need dm attack

[AndrewKismet]

A Dark Magician deck needs to be sidedecked well, remember; a good lockdown deck or duck-control can charge all over it.

[thousand-eyes]

yea u need to have a good side deck be very careful of duck control if u want a good magician deck i could send u mine also wombatslayer420 is excelent at magician decks u could get one from him 2

[Tace2117]

I agree with everyone else it just seems to me you have a lot of monsters that dont need to be there try to get some duplicates of skilled dark magician and more importantly the dark magicina itself. to me the magnet warriors have no plus to the deck get rid of them. my philosophy with monster cards is 2 lv4 and lower monsters for every lv5 and higher. it seems to work for me if anyone has any objections tell me. but you seem to need more spell cards in there it seems empty on support frim magic and trap cards

[envoyman]

can some one go to my post that is like 2 below this one
i need some help too

[Wombat Slayer]

ANY ONE THAT RUNS A DARK PALADIN DECK HAS TO USE KING OD SWAMP OR IT WILL SUCK! I'M SICK OF TELLING THE WORLD THIS 8,000,000 TIMES! LEARN IT ALREADY!

[Retained]

First, bring your monsters down to 16-18 monsters. Spells to 16-17, traps to 6-7. Then you will have 40-42 cards for your deck.

If you're going to run a DP deck.

Run these cards:

3 Skilled Dark Magician
3 King of Swamps
1 Buster Blader
1-2 Dark Magician
1 Morphing jar

2-3 Polymerzation (3 probably)
2-3 Emblem of Dragon Destroyer

With Buster, you can summon DP much much faster as you have many options.

Without the other counterpart
---------
1. Dark Magician + King Of Swamps

With the counterpart
------------
1. Dark Magician + King of Swamps
2. Dark Magician + Buster Blader
3. Buster Blader + King of Swamps


And with Emblem, you can search BB from your deck or grave and bring it to your hand. And then all you have to worry about is drawing Dark Magician.
