Pros

  • High attack and good defense.
  • Magic Jammer + a better Buster Blader effect in 1 monster.

Cons

  • Both the fusion material monsters are level 7 monsters.

Tips, related cards, skills

Trap Jammer

With its ability to stop/prevent spell cards altogether, you can pressure your opponent even further by using Trap Jammer. This will help protect, not just Dark Paladin, but your other monsters from cards like Mirror Wall or other traps.

Fusion substitutes

Dark Magician and Buster Blader uses different supports, and since it doesn't say that it needs those exact monsters as the fusion materials, you can use fusion substitute monsters instead. This will allow both of them to shine individually in their own decks, or make a fusion oriented deck by putting both Dark Paladin and Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman.

Outstanding Dog Marron

You can use Outstanding Dog Marron or Sword of Deep-Seated so you can activate Dark Paladin's ability without losing a card.

Tour Bus From the Underworld

Allows you to bring back your monster from your graveyard to your deck. This can be good if you have other cards to search for them again.

Diffusion Wave-Motion

Allows Dark Paladin to attack multiple monsters in a turn and negate all their effect monster's effects.

Mirage Dragon

Increases Dark Paladin's attack and prevents your opponent from being able to activate traps during battle phase.

Why is this the cover card for the new structure? Dark magician doesn’t even have the resources to discard a card. Could it be a test attempt at adding protection for circle against spell/trap removal? I can see them creating a cheesy skill that adds buster blader and a fusion card to your hand from outside your deck just to make this relevant. Maybe on first or second turn. Me trying to understand Konami’s logic.“if it fails and doesn’t work for dark magician will release eternal soul and dark magician the dragon knight and thank you for your money and for playing Duel links”

Jokes on Konami I will use the free resources as free discard fodder for karma cut and raigeki break.

Eye of Timaeus made this the bane of Blue Eyes. It even counters Cards of Consonance.

Sadly yugi has 0 lines for this card... although it is consider one of his ace monsters.

Since synchro or even upcoming xyz, this card is underwhelmed. Negating spell card is 2nd best negating mechanic in the game after monster. But card like Dark Cavalry, Ebon High and the new one: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon have better effects. But still Dark Paladin is excellent beater and decent old boss monster
