Dark Magician for Dummies

For anyone who saw that the Magician's Force set wasn't going to bring rise 
to the Dark Magician, it is.  In my opinion, the Dark Magician is one of 
the best monsters of it's type.  I know Cosmo Queen is Dark Magician's big 
bad Wife, but it's much harder to get these days (I am probobly one of the 
few who could get a Cosmo Queen for a SDK Blue Eyes White Dragon!).  Here 
are a few to me should be big with him:

Skilled Dark Magician:
This thing is a 1900 beatstick that has Dark Magician written all over 
it.  With 1900 attack and 1700 defense, plus only being a Super Rare, bet 
to see these in the Underdogs at your local playing area.  So many cards 
work with this card, Gather Your Mind, Painful Choice, and any other magic 
card except Dark Hole.  It brings out Dark Magician too, and quite 
quickly!  Just make sure you pull out Dark Magician the turn Skilled Dark 
Magician comes to the field or your opponent will probobly Kamakazee a 
Gemini Elf / Spear Dragon or kill it with a magic / trap card.

Diffusion Wave Motion:
This card makes Dark Magician worth using.  The ability to kill all of your 
opponents monsters is great, and all of their effects are negated.  In 
other words, a Hades-effect + Azura Priest - 1000 LP.  This card works 
great when your opponent plays Scapegoat, and it works great with Fairy 
Meteor Crush / Meteorain.  The only bad thing I see is the fact that it's a 
Secret Rare and that it requires a LEVEL SEVEN spellcaster to use.

Gather Your Mind:
This card is one of the coolest cards from Magician's Force we'll get.  The 
ability to thin your deck, build magic counters, and be pointless for a 
quick Double Spell is great!

Breaker the Magical Warrior:
I know he has nothing to do with the Dark Magician, but can you have a 
Spellcaster deck without him?

Double Spell:
In my opinion, this card works great with Gather Your Mind as a 2nd magic 
counter.  You can then use a Painful Choice to help build up a Dark 
Magician Girl or pull out your final magic counter for the Dark 
Magician.  I haven't been able to use this card yet, but my friend has, and 
he says it's awesome!

Those are alot of great cards for a Dark Magician deck!  Use any of them, 
their great!!!  See ya!
