So the thread is what it says in the title. I got offered to join a small high-level party for a dungeon crawl. The DM has good reputation, but I haven't played with him before. I do not now much about the rest of the party, but there are three of them and they have a Bard a Monk and a...

After reading a couple of published adventures and playing a bit as a player, I have an impression that some (most?) DMs shun using NPC spellcasters unless it is a BBEG. Me personally, while running DnD standard, magic-abundant worlds, I use at least a few low-level spellcasters in any humanoid...
