Well, your not going to defeat anyone without monsters, and a reasonable budget to spend to get more cards to help out your current build, say around $100 of a budget to spend to be safe, although it can probably be done for a lot less if the correct, cheap substitutes are used. 99.109.214.77 (talk) 01:14, February 20, 2013 (UTC)

Actually, there is Monsters in this Deck, but a single "|" was missing. --Missign0 (talk • contribs) 02:17, February 20, 2013 (UTC)

a lot of the cards in this deck are a bit old ond out dated do you have any newer cards and do you play to the ban list?

Sincerest apologies if this offends, but I immediately saw this deck and thought to myself: "Where do I begin?". Granted, I'm a Warrior-user in the main and don't have much experience with other builds, but your fundamentals seem to be somewhat lacking.

Firstly, you have too many cards in that deck. It's always best to keep your deck near the 40-card minimum limit, and unless you're running a deck that mills itself, it's unwise to exceed 50 cards. Hell, I never go past 46 if I can help it. You need to strip back your deck to the essentials.

Following on from that, your Monster/Spell & Trap ratio is way off. A Spellcaster deck focuses on the spells, right? Isn't that implicit in the name? You need less monsters. In fact, I'd say your excess of monsters is what's causing the sheer size of the deck. In addition, the ratio of high to low-level monsters is off, which makes it harder to pull a card you can actually use on the turn.

I would recommend removing all Normal monsters (Dark Magician excluded, of course), non-Spellcaster monsters, and extraneous copies of cards from the deck. I'd also try to weed out as many of the higher-level monsters as seems reasonable, so you can make better use of your draw.

To start with, I'd say you should remove your Horus the Black Flame Dragons, Gemini Elf, and Dark Magician of Chaos (you don't have the relevant card to summon him in that deck anyway). From there, I'd say it's up to your personal style.

Hope this helps. Personally, I think the Deck Help Forum has been lacking in people willing to give help (he says after two of his builds don't get any suggestions), and I feel like changing that.

A Suggestion

Might I suggest having a read over Forum:Deck Guide/General & User:Dark Ace SP/Deck Building Lesson 101, as it should help with some of the general issues with the deck. -188.29.194.155 (talk) 20:02, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

And after you read those two impressive works (which will help you become a better deck builder), take a look at some of the decks archived in Decks for Free! Link: Forum:Decks for Free!/Attribute/Type Gallery P-S#Spellcaster. ---Kungfu-mama (Talk) 13:36, June 24, 2013 (UTC)
