Dark Magician: The Dark Magician element of the deck provides the ability to make "Predaplant Verte Anaconda", whilst also providing other forms of disruption in the form of "Dark Magical Circle" and "Eternal Soul". The deck is relatively consistent, with cards such as "Magician's Rod" and "Soul Servant" to increase the likelyhood of winning. "The Eye of Timaeus" and "Secrets of Dark Magic" both allow access to various toolbox extra deck monsters that Dark Magician has, from "Dark Paladin" being able to wipe out all dragon decks in one hit, to "Dark Magician Girl, the Dragon Knight", which is a great control card that can help you slowly out-resource your opponent. "Destined Rivals" is one of two "Skill Drain"-like cards this deck has to offer, at the mere cost of controlling "Dark Magician". The card is searchable by most of the searchers in the deck, and is very useful when going first against a combo deck.
Buster Whelp: This simple engine allows for the second "Skill Drain"-like effect, plus a few big monsters that can potentially wipe your opponent out in one shot. For the combo, all your require is "Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman". Normal summon "Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman" and use it's ability to add "Prologue of the Destruction Swordsman" from your deck to your hand and set it. Link summon "Linkuriboh" and end your turn. During your opponent's turn, activate your set "Prologue of the Destruction Swordsman" to send "Buster Blader" and "Destruction Sword Memories" from your deck to the GY, and chain the ability of "Destruction Sword Memories" in the GY, to banish "Buster Blader" and "Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman". When the chain resolves, this will summon both "Buster Dragon" and "Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman".
Weaknesses: "Imperial Order" and "Anti-Spell Fragrance" (the deck relies heavily on spells to search cards), destroying a face-up "Eternal Soul" (wipes your entire field), negating the firs few searches (the deck really needs to get rolling at the start otherwise it is hard to pick up the pace).
