DARK MAGICIAN (Post-LED6) - Ten Minute Testing 11/15/19

[@MBTYuGiOh]

Actually, MBT, your list is trash. I play 2 Eye of Timaeus in my Dark Sage Turbo build and I'm 7,000-0 on TDOANE versus Reactor FTK.

[@GamerGhostRider]

You didn't like DMG and the new continuous trap?

[@gumgrapes]

Considering how busted Reactor FTK is, I gotta see that list!

[@riedenstien9799]

Reactor ftk RRRREEEEE

[@joker-124]

This deck is missing quaking mirror force oh no

[@gumgrapes]

That opening skit is great as ever lmao

[@payne9682]

5:14 - Volcanics also didn't get a link monster, just saying...

[@Ruggles117]

Ahhh, this channel is so good! Such a bingeable series!

[@xdarkangerx7601]

"...just as Game Freak can't stop thinking of new and innovative ways to squeeze blood from Geodudes" Guys who's gonna tell him :(

[@absoluteunit8334]

DM continues to be like, two cards away from being broken. Unfortunately that will continue to be the reality until Yami Yugi appears IRL and literally pulls the good cards from his ass.

[@DerVasto]

Plot of Yugioh post-Vrains

[@r3zaful]

They broke spyral instead

[@TheDarkFisch]

Legit hilarious 😂 he goes "And I'm mad I cant play extravagance." Great stuff MBT, Love watching these. Hope to meet you some day!

[@carlschmitthenner7369]

That opener made me actually laugh so hard I had to quiet myself down 😂

[@MeeTonToE]

This is about as reasonably good as you can get with a Dark Magician list. I'd imagine it's hard to argue over maxing out the consistency of your bread and butter play.

[@OneWakfu]

1:33 i guess they never miss miss huh.. DAMMIT it's been a year and I still can't get over it... ʰᵉˡᵖ

[@leoshipman7914]

Great video as always, MBT!

[@LordJacobGinsberg1st]

In the best of 3 three meta why drop when neither play has cards in hand and your opponent has sunlight wolf stall for a turn or two

[@P3rks0fLife]

Most likely Salads would be able to kill especially when they’re both up in advantage and powerful disrupters

[@christophertomes6777]

Salad had game with will.

[@GamerGhostRider]

Nice list. I feel like it's interestingly customizable.

[@johnnywilson3071]

I got a deck idea, I call it Trinity Fluffal, basically the reason why its called Trinity is that it link climbs through three specific link monsters whilst fusions are vomited to the field in the process. The three links are Clotheep, Proxy F magician and Predaplant Anaconda which you go into respectively . The big advantage of this combo is that you only need to have one polymerization in hand to burp out 3 or 4 fusions. This makes fluffal super playable in MR4 and brings back the OTK ability the deck was known for in MR3, but I'm not sure if it helps the deck's going first weakness then again I'm not sure how they'll do that if they don't make a fluffal fusion that is designed for going 1st that is good (shots fired at the latest fluffal fusion BTW).

[@nicholasmascioni3333]

faithful servant and magician’s combination my favourite support

[@dittoandrotommaster1197]

draw 5 potential is lit.

[@mercurydjinn3366]

I actually love this list, because it doesn't include a certain piece of garbage that should have never been excreted unto the game. Also this is probably my favorite intro skit yet, but mostly the thing about the deck.

[@DerVasto]

I really don't know how they thought Dragun of Red Eyes would be a good idea like that. Way too easy to shit out and sit on its fat ass while your opponent scoops because even Inspector Boarder-Set 4 is more fun.

[@samedwards3186]

Back again with another episode of...ten minute testing. DEEP SIGH

[@jamiltahhan7908]

*Mbt uploads DM video* *CLICKS IMMIDEATLY**

[@MrGatorYT]

Red-Eyes fusion is still a great card with or without predaplant.

[@gregzo2021]

how many tries did it take you to get a strike for the opening skit?

[@magicianzero3960]

Dragon Knight will never leave my deck! Gotta get that out as fast as I can with E Soul then I can relax

[@iBenjamin1000]

Nice that the fusion is playable but I still don't like that it's just 2 monsters put together in the same card, without any changes.

[@christianlay-geng]

I'm sorry but he knew Roar and Rage were face down. Wouldn't it have made more sense to attack to trigger the Rage, then allure the Roar to get a chance at Circle during the last duel?

[@rumovonzamonien]

tfw no DMG

[@query2874]

can someone please explain why toy vendor was being played in melodious

[@thskater1]

Yo one question... How is pot of desires a plus one when you have to banish 10 cards???

[@franciscobono7446]

you can do a utopia deck with the new suport pls

[@blinktwice296]

Wonder if people gonna complain why you’re not running red-eyes fusion and the predap link 😂

[@riedenstien9799]

Somone already did

[@Jokoko2828]

I'd complain but the man is building for the TCG and not Imaginary so of course he's not gonna stick them in there.

[@HungNguyen-yp6cf]

No Dragun of Red-Eyes??

[@riedenstien9799]

The predaplant link. He doesn't know if it's region restricted so he doesn't play it

[@HungNguyen-yp6cf]

Jonathan Cruz even still you can play Dragun of Red eyes without it with timeaus or the new fusion/ritual spell

[@riedenstien9799]

@@HungNguyen-yp6cf you very w ell could I'm not denying that part it's just that well for all the trouble that takes why bother because you need a dm a dragon the eye and or the new fusion spelI feels thats a little forced that's just me though you entitled to your deck building ideologies

[@IamGrimalkin]

That's not confirmed for TCG import either I think. Although admittedly it's less busted on its own than Verte Ananchonda so might be more likely to see an earlier import. If Dragun gets imported but not Ananchonda I think it still might be worth adding in a Red-Eyes fusion to cheat it out. That's all you can summon that turn but it's good enough to be worth it in many cases.

[@yoshikagekiller8044]

@Jonathan Cruz Red-eyes fusion needs you to run red-eyes B dragon or a red-eyes monster to summon dragun of red-eyes so you can't use random dragons for it.

[@lightanddarkduelist605]

Another great video👍😂 thanks for the flex😘

[@thomashart8312]

what should a phantasm spiral link 1 look like?

[@IamGrimalkin]

I imagine something similar to Balelynx would be fantastic for the deck.

[@IamGrimalkin]

Also, a Kagari equivalent for traps would be good. They'd both need a way of getting rid of themselves though, so you can actually activate the traps you search.

[@IamGrimalkin]

So how about these: Phantasm Spiral Sealynx WATER, Wyrm, Effect 1 Wyrm monster If this card is Link Summoned: You can add 1 "Umi" from your Deck to your hand. If a "Umi" you control would be destroyed by card effect, you can banish this card from your field or GY instead. You can only use the effects of "Phantasm Spiral Sealynx" once per turn. Phantasm Spiral Dragari FIRE, Wyrm, Effect 1 non-FIRE "Phantasm Spiral" monster If this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Phantasm Spiral" Trap in your GY; add it to your hand. Once per turn, you can destroy 1 "Phantasm Spiral" card on the field if you have "Phantasm Spiral" Trap(s) in your GY. You can only Special Summon "Phantasm Spiral Dragari(s)" once per turn.

[@frankwest5388]

I don’t like Draguun of red eyes. He is way too easy to make for what he does.

[@frankwest5388]

Moha you run 2 garnets for an indestructible, untargetable, self buffing, omninegateing, monster that blows up 1 card every turn. This is bullshit. Even good decks get less for their bossmonsters, and they have to put effort into it.

[@IamGrimalkin]

@@frankwest5388 Without Verte Ananchonda that's the only monster you're summoning that turn, and you still have to draw Red-Eyes fusion. Dragun is powerful but it's Ananchonda which makes it broken. And Ananchonda is broken anyway, even without Dragun. Searching Super Poly or Shaddoll Fusion is no joke.

[@frankwest5388]

IamGrimalkin it’s not even that he is soo easy to make. It’s also how boring his effect overall is. He has the most boring protection, most boring boosting and most boring disruption. I will give credit that the pop effect has interesting aspects to it. But combined with everything else, it is just so boring from a game design standpoint. But the artwork is badass, so I give credit where it’s due

[@frankwest5388]

@Moha an other card existing is not an excuse for this guy

[@frankwest5388]

Moha alright. Let me show you why Colosseus is a more interesting card, purely form a game play and design perspective. Don’t worry I won’t miss much. Summoning condition. Dragunn can be summoned via 3 ways. A normal polymerization, eye of timaeus, and his own alternative summoning condition, which substitutes red eyes for any other dragon. But you can cheat him out in any deck by using red eyes fusion combined with anaconda Colosseus can be summoned via 2 ways. Polymerization or his alternative summon that requires to tribute a thunder after you discarded a thunder for a card effect. This makes Colosseuss summon more interesting and resources intensive/situational. Protection: Dragunn is untargetable and indestructible period. Which saves him for ca 70 of all generic removal. Also he has a negate to protect himself, which also buffs himself. That buff puts him above 3k attack, which is the bossmonster threshold to be killed by battle. In other words he is safe from almost everything Colosseus has a conditional protection. Which is any type of destruction, which requires your u to banish a thunder as a cost. This is a resource that can be depleted and due to the targeting weakness, reliably played around with. Disruption: Dragunn has an Omninegate. The best kind of interruption in the game, which is useful in any matchup. Colosseus stops the opponent from adding cards to his hand, except by drawing. A strong interruption depending on the matchup. Working less as disruption and more as a floodgate with a body and destruction protection. Additional benefits: Dragunn can pop up to 2 monsters the opponent controls, while burning for their attack. This can easily do over 2k in burn damage while plusing. Colosseus can be summoned multiple times per turn, reinforcing the floodgate and be useful as materials for combo plays. These two cards work very differently. But Colosseus is mechanically more interesting. A more fairer comparison would be Dragunn with Master Peace. Because they share similar levels of protection and summoning power, while being able to stop any plays that would remove them easily, except for Kaijus. But go ahead. Tell me why Colosseus is somehow a worse designed card.

[@xatuyou8045]

Has the navigation and doesn’t use it to banish the normal summon.

[@liamjohnen8426]

serious question why no magician of dark illusion? i always thought that card was bomb af

[@LukesYuGiOhChannel]

Good video.

[@Leonardo-ms2nk]

This intro bro is not from this world

[@Mevestos]

The problem with this deck is it’s completely moving in the wrong direction. Dark Magician as a protect the castle control deck is dead and obsolete. That elephant in the room Dragun and Anaconda outclass this build by such an extraordinary measure this video is hardly even worth your time. Dark Magician’s future is in spamming extenders like Souls and Apprentice alongside cards like Instant Fusion and Mind Control to turbo out Verte and dragun every turn.

[@riedenstien9799]

Dude this is why type of dm players make the community toxic "um actually your doing it wrong" my guy it's children's card game who cares

[@Mevestos]

Jonathan Cruz when you’re trying to create a genuine showcase of what a deck can do, showing off something this sub par is doing yourself and your audience a disservice. Your little kuriboh meme rhetoric is entirely unhelpful and won’t change that.

[@DerVasto]

@@Mevestos Dark Magician's future won't be going that way for long, though. Dragun WILL be banned at one point because it's so ridiculously easy to shit out. Every deck that can make it will make it, not only DM, so in the end DM just got a huge sweet piece of candy after all of the abuse, only to have it taken away after one lick. Somewhere, sometime the Pharaoh cries silently in a corner.

[@Mevestos]

13PM, with your favourite talkshow-host Alastor! There’s really no predicting that. I’ve tested splashing Dragun in to things like Orcust, and while it -does- work, it’s awkward by comparison. Dragun is far from broken, just very strong. Hell, just Dingirsu outs it wholesale.

[@LtLabcoat]

Dark Magician's real future is appearing as a one-of card in a deck that can turbo Verte much more competently.

[@apths7903]

Actually a link one for DM could be neat imo so you could link away rod and DM

[@isaiahhenry4208]

A Schipper just use imduk it pulls dm off the field and provides a secrets target to go into DmDK

THE SKIT

[@raust6683]

No Dragun tho ?

[@TyGrump]

rausty la soumission Explained in the video

[@VihnNem]

I hope that was completely legit and you were just hanging out at a bowling alley until 3am chain throwing until you could get a strike just for that gag

[@videocian12345678910]

Wait don’t you mean blue eyes white dragon cards that will never stop being made?

[@AceHardy]

💯

"No new cultural developments since 2002"... are you familiar with hauntology? It's glorious

[@walder69]

oh god he was so wrong about verte + dargoon :D

[@KabutoZombie]

why would you not run dragun of red eyes?

[@r3zaful]

Why does melodious seems a lot stronger than DM with only 1 support lmao

[@riedenstien9799]

Sad but true

[@duelrising8721]

Any reason your not playing verte? Lol

[@riedenstien9799]

Not confirmed for tcg yet so he wanted it to be playable even without it he mentioned it in the video

[@999WANA]

oh boy its happening again

[@riedenstien9799]

Oh Lord he be comin

[@purple4395]

DM already get to much play online. In the last few weeks you couldnt play online without getting this stupid op fusion in the face So i like this real dm version more

[@niiho5225]

Was so excited for the maybe continuation from last DM rant from your old video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmKkpGWCmNeFb6M still love this video

[@vala32]

Why no Red-Eyes Fusion?

[@TyGrump]

He answered that in the video

[@JABRIEL251]

More fucking anime support.

[@calvingilliland6646]

I too believe women are a conspiracy, are you a power bottom?

[@scottyboyproductions]

Dont dis DM support so heavily... I like all your videos but dislike here as this is just slight (well slightly more than "slightly") support that is still not meta

[@user-cn1zg7zr7d]

Where are your super polys ? Where is dragun? 3 apprentice??? This list is ass

Someone skipped straight to the decklist and didnt hear what joseph said at 2:15, but if you are too lazy to check what he said about not including dragoon in this list, then shut up. Oh and about the 3 apprentece, how are you gonna get over a 2900 atk monster without it? Apprentece is played at 3 in evey good DM build ( DM is bad altho) to summon verte.

[@user-lm9us]

Cry about it dm loser

[@henryzexal2414]

That fusion monster on your first match is not counted as dark magician ... your list is suck

[@shadow3oni]

I wouldnt even play dm if it wasnt cause of dmg, yeah, dm is garbage, they should just focus on dmg
