+1 magical merchant/dekoichi

you might not always get to reuse his effect. so this way he might have a more stable stats. check out mine

instead of upstart goblins why dont you use toon table of contents x3.

they give your skilled dark magicain three easy counters plus it gives you deck thining.

ps. can you r/f my deck in my sig plz
thanx

thanks for the help...have added toon table of contents x2...do not know what to replace for a third one....not too sure about the magical merchant/dekoichi.....magical merchant could destroy my monsters and dekoichi cannot be re-used easily...which is why i chose des lacooda in the first place

there is no need to take anything out for a third toon table of contents. just add it. because when you use it in a duel you will thin your deck out of three cards.

hmm...that seems to me a bit like adding a jar of greed into an already 40 card deck...no real need for it you fill the 41 slot with something designed to cut your deck down by one card...and so it dosnt actually help.

well, it also gives you a magic counter for each one used(dont know what monster their talking about up there)... although it may be used for deck thinning, it's like having three jar of greeds in a 41 card deck, so it works both ways.

the counters on skilled dark magician, i find, are always hard to do, i use him mainly for beatdown purposes, therefore i will probably just leave the toon table of contents at 2
