if i should add dark paladin please say cause i use the king of the swamp and not buster blader. i am trying to get a dark magician of chaos. any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance!

ok lets take a look at this here...... you have alot of 2 monster tributes and thats going to hurt you... they will clog your hand if you insist i would and some tribute dolls also along with gemini elf and injection fariy lily that way you have monsters that tend to stay on the field longer...... if you want to go the dark paladin road you dont need buster you can use the dark magicans along with king swamps.... but you will need 3 king swamps..... take out the field spell cards they arent great top decks... also if your going to get out the dark magicians using the skilled dark magicians... then i would reduce the traps and add more spell cards

tribute monsters (3)
dark magician x2
dark magician girl x1


monsters (13)
skilled dark magician x3
kycoo the ghost destroyer x2
gemini elf
cyber jar
peten the clown x3
injection fairy lily
magical scientist
breaker the magicial warrior

traps (6)
call of the haunted
magic cylinder
ring of destruction
waboku x2
torrential tribute

magic (18)

enemy controller x2
nobleman of crossout
scapegoat
book moon
smashing ground x2
swords of revealing light
painful choice
creature swap x 2
premature burial
change of heart
heavy storm
pot of greed
giant trunade
snatch steal
mystical space typhoon

this is just a start for you .... your playing style and meta will determine the final deck.... i tried to give you more spell cards to help you get the magicians out faster... i also added alittle stall and some deck thinner with the petens and goats..... for the fusions put in the norms baltar,ryu,thousand eyes....

thank you soooo much for your help. you are more helpful then those guys at gamefaqs. all they have been doing is flameing me. so thank you with the advice!
