Dark Paladin and Blue Eyes in retrospect Celtic
Hi again
 
bleh more rants
this one is on the Dark Paladin and Bblue Eyes two types I continue to experiment with.
as a bit of a not, a Dark Paladin deck is NOT a spellcaster deck
and a Blue Eyes deck is NOT a dragon deck
great now thats out of the way here I go. guess first off is blue eyes. in this deck I run as few dragons as I possibly can, why? cause its bad enough my blue eyes are boosting something like buster blader or dark paladin but I got to give them more with other useless dragons like spear dragon no stick with something else. also I do not use lord of d. that usless peice of junk everyone has told you is bad hand managment so lets look at better hand managment. ok everyone now go look back at that paladin of white dragon thing you stuck in a shoe box some where yup there it is. ok now I told you to get a ritual monster even worse hand managment so hear me out. in any blue eyes deck run this, 1 sanga and whitch as a standard, 2 manju of ten thousand hands, and paladin of white dragon and his magic card. now if you draw and 2 of these 8 cards you have yourself a blue eyes white dragon ready on the feild. if you draw the search monsters use them to find the 2 manjus. as you may know the manju's allow you to search for either a rithual monster or magic card so of course get paladin of white dragon and his magic card. now you will most likely have a manju on the feild when you get the last peice of the ritual so sacrifice the one on the feild its level 4 and the ritual you are about to preform only need 4 stars. yay paladin of white dragon is on the feild so wie out anything on the feild and summon a blue eyes from your DECK to the feild (Plz not your hand). yay so he can't attack big deal you should have attacked with the paladin and if you have the new magic card burst stream on destruction use that since blue eyes can't attack cause of the paladin's effect anyway. now for a look at hand managment. you most likely summoned a manju to the feild and it replaced itself with a ritual peice which means 0 hand loss now you used the magic card and summoned the monster which is -2  not 3 since you used the monster on the feild as a tribute and then blue eyes is summoned to the feild also note that this was a 2 cards deck thinning as well. so next is how situational is it for this to happen on say the first turn. let me put it this way if you run a 40 card deck 15% of your deck is devoted to this combo. also run only 2 kaiser seahorses since its only real purpose is to get the blue eyes out you'll find he gets creamed a lot not acomplishing what he was meant to do and only 2 blue eyes are nessisaryor else your packing way to many tributes (These are level 8 dragons people)
ok now to the Dark Paladin excuse me on my bais but I like the dark magician. ok so my deck is based on a no fusion sub deck which means you run the dark magician and buster blader. now some dude just rolled his eyes back and said yea right its useless to base a fusion deck on 2 level 7 monsters with no connections. well sure but these two guys can work well together in a level 7 deck. now what the hell am I talking about well basically its tribute doll. both the dark magician and buster blader are level 7 and will benifit from its effect I mean your fusion materials can't be useless can they. so now we have that issue in order the level 7 monsters can be summoned in one turn. now as for what to base your deck around this is what I do. I base it on the dark magician first since he has srtonger support cards and being a level 7 spell caster makes him incompatibal with most warrior based decks. so ofcourse I got 3 skilled dark magicians and when they come out I'll get those dark magic curtains but anyway. as for the buster blader I have him and the magic card emlbem of dragon destroyer which means I can retive him even when he is in the graveyard. one on my favrate combos is graceful charity discarding buster and the use emblem and polimerization to get dark paladin and if I had a SDM on the feild dark magician returns to the feild though thats only happened like 3 times it was fun and great feild advantage. as for the rest of your cards pack it in with dragons and lots of them personally I use twin headed behemoth and spear dragon as token cards since dark paladin gains from dragons in you graveyard as well and I also keep a sinister serpant handy so I can use the dark paladin's magic negation more often. oh and as for double coston the kaiser seahorse for dark monster I may use one but I find little room for it with the 1900 atk SDM which can retrive dark magician from the deck and gravyard so I recomend against it only in the dark paladin deck a dark magician deck can use them very well but I maybe next time.
 
well I'm off send coments
