The main idea of this deck is summon the [[Dark Magician]] along with some other cards like [[Cybernetic Magician]] or [[Dark Magician Girl]] or some other strong spellcaster, if you use it wisely is very effective, blocking your opponent's spell cards with [[Secret Village of the Spellcasters]] and negate his traps with [[Sorcerer of Dark Magic]] leaving your opponent open to your attacks  with your best magicians. Using base spellcasters-specialsummon cards like [[Magical Dimension]] or [[Magician's Circle]] and some field-cleaning cards like [[Lightning Vortex]] or [[Raigeki]] and also [[Dark Magic Attack]] you can fill your field really fast, and because this deck don't use a lot of traps you could add [[Royal Decree]] with no problem, another advantage is that being a pure deck you could use [[Rivalry of Warlords]] to stop synchro-based decks, but remember use it wisely.Recommended for experienced players.

In the very first Deck released in the OCG, had introduced the use Spell Counters and reusing Spell Cards. This Deck focused on summoning [[Dark Magician]] then Special Summoning [[Dark Eradicator Warlock]]. Once normal Spell cards were activated it inflicts 1000 no matter which player. These Decks take patience and skill. Other key cards in the Deck would be to reuse Spell cards, and keeping your magicians alive. [[Royal Decree]], [[Jinzo]], and even [[Magical Hats]]. These can help protect your magicians and stop Traps from getting in your way.

== In other languages ==
−
In the Deck, Spellcaster's Command, this Deck mostly made use of Spell counters to activate the effects of the magicians. It has the [[Magical Citadel of Endymion]] to keep Spell counters on the field and move all Spell counters to that card. You can then Special Summon [[Endymion, the Master Magician]] from your hand, and keep recycling Spell cards to destroy your opponents key cards, and you can swarm your opponent. Some cards that are needed for this Deck, is [[Spell Reclamation]], [[Royal Decree]], [[Spell Power Grasp]], and [[Diffusion Wave-Motion]]. This Deck is also made for quick fetching of your magicians so [[Summoner Monk]] helps a lot. This deck gains much power from [[Spell Power Grasp]], so it's a good idea to include [[Recycle]], so you can activate [[Spell Power Grasp]] every turn.

===Spellcaster Lockdown===
+
== See also ==
−
This Deck is effective and more of a fetching/lockdown type of scenerio. This Deck needs 3 cards: [[Dark Paladin]], [[Sorcerer of Dark Magic]], and [[Destiny Hero - Plasma]]. "[[Secret Village of the Spellcasters]]" can be used as well when "[[Sorcerer of Dark Magic]]" is on the field. Secret Village is easier to get onto the field than Dark Paladin. This Deck is also making use of Spell Counters to protect those cards. [[Mirror Force]], [[Trap Jammer]], [[Anti-Spell]], and [[Mage Power]] are needed to help this Decks power. Any of the more common attack blocker traps, such as "[[Sakuretsu Armor]]", "[[Dimensional Prison]]", or "[[Scrap-Iron Scarecrow]]", also work in place of the very rare Mirror Force. If used correctly this Deck can Lockdown your opponent so all they can do is attack. This is probably the most difficult, but more effective Deck out of the 3.
