Dark Magic

I'm an active member of the Pojo forums. I try to help new players, either in the newbie section of Pojo or at locals.
Recently I've been seeing atleast three people try to make a Dark Paladin deck. While it's always easier to make a pure Dark Magician deck, I thought I'd give Dark Paladin a shot. Now the key card to a Dark Paladin deck and even a regular DM deck is Elemental Hero Prisma. A walking Foolish Burial is always nice.
Now let's look at ways of summoning Dark Paladin. With no special fusion cards for such an old card like Miracle Fusion, Gemknight Fusion and the likes all we really have is Fusion Gate and the original Polymerization. Both are lousy in requiring the cards in hand and/or on field. Again we go back to Prisma which helps us in this. There's also King of the Swamp with really helps as it's a fusion substitute that can tutor Poly.

That leaves us with:

2 Dark Magician
3 Skilled Dark Magician
2 Elemental Hero Prisma
Buster Blader
3 King of the Swamp

2 Polymerization

2 Dark Paladin

I didn't mention Skilled Dark before but it's always good to have in anything DM related.
Now with only 11 monsters we need to fill some slots. Let's add the good ol Apprentice engine.

2 Apprentice Magician
2 Old Vindictive Magician

Now we can add Sangan with 7 targets.

Now let's focus on the spells. First we'll add the staples.

2 Mystical Space Typhoon
Monster Reborn
Dark Hole
Heavy Storm

For those capable we'll add Dualities. Otherwise it'll be Upstarts.

2 Dark Magician
3 Skilled Dark Magician
2 Elemental Hero Prisma
Buster Blader
3 King of the Swamp
2 Apprentice Magician
2 Old Vindictive Magician
Sangan

2 Polymerization
2 Mystical Space Typhoon
Monster Reborn
Dark Hole
Heavy Storm
3 Pot of Duality/Upstart Goblin

2 Dark Paladin

And now the traps. Along with the staples, we'll add 2 copies of Call since the deck will be dumping DM or Buster quickly.

Final deck list:

Enjoy the dark magic.
