Once Village of the magic type comes out in the next set your golden.

Perhaps toss out the equip with maha vailo engine and add another bottemless or 2.
Use pitch black power stone as well.  being able to shift spell counters is really good.

Also maybe try using Maiden of Macabre in this deck since she is a spellcaster herslf and lives off of spell counters

does anybody know if i should add magicians unite, magicians valkiria, and magical exemplar, i don't know what i should put or take out in this deck so that i can compete with it.

I'd take out Slate Warrior and Penguin Soldier. They aren't spellcasters so they do nothing for your deck. I'd suggest a Crystal Seer or 2 as they work well with the Apprentice Magicians. Imo, equip cards are horrible, so I'd get rid of Axe of Despair and Mage Power for sure. Swap Draining Shield for Threatening Roar as it doesn't need an attack to chain to. You can chain a facedown Threatening Roar to an opponents Heavy Storm or MST, making it more useful imo. Enemy Controller is another good control card as you can flip a Old Vindictive or Crystal Seer, get the effect, the play Controller and tribute it to gain control of an opponents monster which you can then tribute for a Dark Red or something. Janis, Lightsworn Mender is a really good defender with 2100 DEF. If you plan to keep Dark Magician in there, I'd add in a Dark Magic Curtain. The cost might seem high at first, but later in the game, it can be a lifesaver. Remember it only takes half of what you have, so you can ALWAYS use it and it can NEVER bring you to 0 unlike cards such as Premature Burial and Brain Control.

My Current Decks
Monarch Syncro + Spellcaster Oppression + Dark World Syncro

im definitely taking out maha and axe and putting in valley of the magical tribe and maiden of macrabe. but i have found mage power to be very usefull, but i wonder if my deck is good enough without some of the spellcasters support cards like valkiria, magical exeplar and more, what else should i do? do you guys think this deck or any spellcaster deck could last in a tournament?
