RatingB

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.

YOOOOO
LOBO
This is my Dark Paladin + Buster Blader Dragon Destruction deck, it's pretty decent against almost all decks, only problems are that it's kinda slow since you have to be careful when you attack with DP once you summon him, because once it's gone you don't have much chance of winning, having at least one card in your hand while DP is on the field is also very important. Major threaths against it are cards like hane-hane (but haven't faced them a lot), Metalmorph, if you don't have Econ it's game over and HHG. Other than that you can almost summon him first to third turn and it's pretty fun to play.

BTW I only managed to get to plat 2 with this deck, I mainly because I started to lose against HHG due to Relinquished and OtC, so many spell cards to keep up with only a few cards on your hand, plus all your traps get rekt easily.

This is my current deck, I opted to replace Ultimate Providence (since they were there mostly to stop hane-hane's effect but haven't faced it a lot to become a constant threath) with skull lair to put use to all the fusion materials and discarded cards due to DP's effect and combo it with EFTDD to special summon dark magician *just in case*

Hi bros!
What do you think about put in this deck crystal seer? May be useful! you can set it on turn 0 if you start first, and give you a free card draw (it means that paladin can negate!)
I have made a deck to use with 3 star demonition skill, but I don't have that skill.. and I need another fusion sage too..
but I want to know what do you think about crystal seer!

Yeah, crystal seer works pretty well to easily get DP on the field, plus the "restart" skill when you have a bad starting hand. If you have a dark magician/buster blader + a fusion substitue or polymerization and Crystal Seer in your starting hand (wich is most of the time) you will have DP by your 3rd turn at most and like you said, you will also have a extra card to use DP´s effect

My attempt at a Dark Paladin focused deck. Once he's on the field, and you have 1 or more cards in hand to help eliminate spells, it can be game over.

Here's the current version after several mods.

Running it with Yugi, and his PoD skill for the spellcaster atk boost.

I feel the deck flows a bit better with 2 fusion options, 1 dragon, and the other the paladin. All dragon's just add to the paladin's attack.

B-Dragon summoner allows you to search your deck for either a red eye's or a Dark mag for fusions.

Killing lev 40 mokuba with this..

Hello,
I happened to attain this card; however, what I would like to know is if the programming code is flawed or not. See, when I tried to attack my opponent, they activated Enemy Controller. I, of course, expected Dark Paladin to negate the spell card, but you see, this did not happen. Twice. Strange thing. So, in a duel against a standard, world duelist, I played one of my own spells when Dark Paladin was on the field. Now, the spell should have been negated (or, it should have granted me an option to discard one card, in order to negate), but it did no such thing. Is this card, perhaps, flawed? --A game bug maybe? What are your thoughts?

No "Angel 07" was on the field, so yes, it is probably a bug in the system which needs to be resolved as quickly as possible.

i just played against kaiba with paladin in the field and when he activated enemy controller twice paladin negated it's effect. maybe it was a bug but has been fixed?

Yes, I did try Dark Paladin in PvP duels; yes, his effect did work, however, the same is not veracious for standard duelists in the Duel world. But, I suppose that shouldn't matter to most people.

Just built a deck around him, and can confirm his effect appears to be working properly in PVP. So long as you have any cards in your hand and he's face up on the field, you should get a prompt.

Got prompts for despell, Econ, Order of charge . . canceled them all :)

unless he has kuriboh, and boost mirage dragon with Wicked-Breaking Flamberge so you can prevent any monster effects that may destroy your monsters, not to mention you need to boost mirage dragon in order to avoid getting it destroyed by a 4 star monster and wrecked by a security orb or a mirror wall...

This card can singlehandedly shut down most relinquished decks, as well as other fusion decks if you get yours out first.

Also obv strong against dragon decks.
