Dusk Magician shouldn't be able to Summon itself.

[/quote]It can't. It can only summon Level 2 or lower. Dusk is level 3.

[quote]Day's Break Magician
LIGHT / Level 4
[ Spellcaster / Effect ]
When this card is Normal Summoned: Target 1 banished Level 3 or lower Spellcaster-Type monster; Special Summon the targeted monster. This card cannot be used as Synchro Material, except for the Synchro Summon of a Spellcaster-Type Synchro Monster.
ATK / 1200 DEF / 1900[/quote]I assume this has Night's End Sorcerer in mind considering the whole theme of this Deck. It being a Tuner with Banish abilities make it a desired choice. Also, Lv6 Synchro promises Arcanite's little brother and sister, Explosive and Tempest Magician.

[ Spellcaster / Effect ]
FLIP: Both players send the top 3 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower Spellcaster-Type monster from your Deck in face-up Attack Position or Face-down Defense Position.
ATK / 0 DEF / 1900[/quote]This has an uber-crush for Night's End. Very useful for general Lv5 Synchro Summons like Hyper Librarian.

[quote]Dawn Sorcerer
LIGHT / Level 3
[ Spellcaster / Tuner ]
If this card is destroyed by a card effect: Banish this card and 1 DARK Spellcaster monster from your Graveyard to target 1 Level 4 or lower Spellcaster-Type monster in your Graveyard; add the targeted monster from your Graveyard to your hand.
ATK / 1100 DEF / 1200[/quote]This allows Arcanite Magician with Day's Break. Nice, and fair enough effect. Maybe a little underpowered? I don't know.

[quote]Oracle of the Twilight
LIGHT / Level 6
[ Spellcaster / Effect ]
When a card(s) is banished in either player's Graveyard, place 1 Spell Counter on this card for every card banished. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can remove 3 Spell Counters from this card and send 2 cards from the top of your Opponent's Deck to the Graveyard; send 1 face-up card on the field to the Graveyard.
ATK / 2100 DEF / 600[/quote]I was wondering when I'd see Spell Counters! I don't see it being used as frequent as I imagine you intended, since all the lower levels would be more likely consumed for Synchro Fodded. Still, gives the Tempest and Explosive Magician something to Xyz with, which is nice.

They are destroyed at the End Phase. [/quote]I really really think this needs toning down somehow. I feel its too much advantage overall. It looks useful, but could be abusive if ran ridiculously.

Overall I'm glad you expanded on the archetype of this card you're uber cray-cray about, it makes me smile to see these things supported. Also, I like their ties in with the other Synchro Magicians, however I feel these guys are way too more focussed on banishing, which would be nice if not for the issue of lacking in Spell Counters. I imagine this deck running Chaos Sorcerer naturally!

How are these poorly designed again?

But seriously, Konami should hire me.

Also, I like how no one noticed that I hadn't given Oracle of the Twilight materials.
