Okay. Here is some thoughts on Magic and what your build brought to mind. I hope it helps at least a little.

First, you've got Zagan at 4, and I'd keep him right there.

You also have Dance Asmodai as a wonderful resource card.

Since you're running Barrier, I would try and maximize their abilities by making sure you get it set asap.



I'd look at Demon Realm Architect, Gamigin to tutor it. At 1 gauge his stats aren't terrible either and he'll count toward your Fever once he hits the drop.



With Barrier set, you can obviously get two Zagan's on the field and a Dance, or mix in your 1's. Speaking of which, I would run Buer, and here's part of the reason.



During your main phase, I would try to capitalize on spamming your cards that have on call abilities or ACT. Because Magic World already has a lot of cards that send monsters back to the hand or gauge, many people are satisfied with staying in Magic World. However, I would consider using the Generic card Gambit.



Example:

Call Buer and activate his ability to get a gauge.

Next, call Dance Asmodai and use the gauge you just got from Buer to draw a card.

Then call Demon Lord Asmodai and use backdrop.



The gauge from Buer paid for your draw, and the draw from Dance gave you another card to choose from in using Backdrop.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">Then, if the situation is right, you can use cast Gambit to get them back and do it all over again.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">By no means am I saying to only use these cards. Obviously, you can use any card with an ACT or On Call Ability to do this.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">The combinations are really fun. Especially since you have Devil Advantage to grab those cards from the drop. It's nice to toss the second copy of a 72 for Backdrop and pick them up with Advantage.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">Wrestler is also good in the Main phase, obviously, and also once you've gone into the Attack Phase with other Monsters. Sometimes, I'll open the center in the Main phase, do my damage with a full field, then use Check it out and dump the field that just went back into my hand to get rid of their most pesky cards. This can obviously lead to a chance at Fever as well.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">But, I also like to use Wrestler during my opponent's turn. Usually waiting for them to set their field and attack. That's why I'd recommend Quick Summon. Many people don't like it. I love it. You can use it with Demon Lord, or Wrestler and wreak havoc on their field.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">I have so much more I'd like to say to connect the dots with synergy, but I'll finish with these few thoughts for now. Since you're running 72's, I'd really consider Bestie. It's rather unfair. For instance; Evil Spirit Leader, Kimaris is that 6000 2 7000 Size 2 for 2 gauge. But, in this type of deck, I'd only call him to the field if absolutely necessary. Once you have him. Keep him.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">When people attack your low defense monster's or paper shield Buer, they're usually going to use a size 1 or 2 beater. But when you cast Bestie for free, you simply show them any 72 Pillar in your hand and the card they attacked gets the Power and Defense for that battle plus Counterattack. That's where Kimaris comes in. Other cards work really well too. But, it's quite nice. Suddenly Buer is a 7000 1 10000 with Counterattack.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">Finally, when I saw you have Reminiscing the Homeland Marcosius in your build, I thought of Del Gesu. You can always burn for 1, but if you've got a 3 crit monster like him, why not attack with him for 3 and then toss him in the drop to attack with Del Gesu for 3? Again, always keeping in mind how many 72 Pillars are in the drop. Yet again, it could activate Fever.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">Obviously, if you're adding any of this, you're going to be taking some cards away. I have my own opinions of which I'd drop, but the principle I use is probably more helpful. When looking at your image in whole or parts. See which cards have the most tie ins with each other.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">I treat deck building like storytelling.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">While I've written about some ideas that can be complex, that's not how I start.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">I build decks first by trying to complete one section of my “story” in the best (and usually fastest) way possible, until I find consistency regardless of what hand I draw. (This is why it's also important to shuffle at least 7 times before each game to get a true random sample). Once it's consistent, then I can begin to try adding layers, always play testing for that same consistency along the way.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">Hope this helps at least a bit. Everyone has a different approach to things in life and while some would be helped by what I share, others would find it just doesn't work for them. It'd be a bland world if everyone thought the same way.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;border:none;padding:0in;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.24in;orphans:1">

Have a great day!
