Greg's review:

 

Ok this card is pretty good I mean better than skilled white magician. It has 1900/1700 stats so it is worthy in any beat down deck and has better stats or I should say higher than Gemini elf. But it is 1900 attacker and no draw back just like Gemini elf. It also makes it so Dark magician can be brought out faster and easier than the regular 2 tributes for 2500. So with this in a combination of skilled white dark paladin should be brought tout even faster and easer than with out these two. I think this will be played allot it is considerably easer to get the Gemini elf and chasers so I am glad I never bought a Gemini full price. Although this thing is spell caster and bring out paladin 1000x faster you are going to see this as an addition to beatdown decks and I already run 2 and they are good just like Gemini elf only it is not searchable via witch of the black forest. So the only completive decks you are going to see this in is a beat down, I like it it gets a 4.3/5 it is versatile so you got to give props.

 
Flaming Fairy's Review: A very interesting card. The 1900 ATK makes this card almost a staple in any Dark Magician Deck. The fact that it can't be searched by Witch of the Black Forest is pretty much the only downside to this card. It's effect is sometimes hard to pull off however, but if you do get to pull it off you can have a 2500 ATK monster on the field for only one monster tribute which isn't bad at all. A fun card to play and 1900 ATK for a 4-star monster is great.

Alex's Review:

 

 This has more uses than just his effect.  Although he can special summon a Dark Magician to the field, he is also the least rare of the 4 star 1900 attackers (with the exception of Thunder Nyan-Nyan).  If you have intentions of running a Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, or Dark Paladin deck, this card in an absolute staple.  SDM will survive a lot longer than Skilled White Magician, thanks to 200 more attack.  Even if you don't run a magician deck, this card fits beautifully in any beatdown deck, especially one on a budget.  Goodbye Gemini Elf, hello Skilled Dark Magician!

Casual 4.5/5
