FIRST PLACE UNDEFEATED DARK MAGICIAN Deck Profile Ft. MatchieYGO! | DUNE Case Tourney | August 2023

[@HakunaMyData]

DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT MatchieYGO’s KZbin channel here: www.youtube.com/@MatchieYGO to follow his journey as he aims to top YCS Vancouver with Dark Magicians! I played him in Swiss and he whooped my ass, the deck is legit 😂 Luckily he carried my tie breakers and I still made top 8!

[@MatchieYGO]

I still Can’t thank you enough for the chance to share my list with your followers! It was an absolute pleasure meeting you! Keep up the amazing work form your end, I hope our paths cross again legend! Much love!

[@HakunaMyData]

Haha aw shucks, it should be me thank you for taking the time to do this! See you soon at regionals, and wish you the best in your YCS adventure!

[@Paxtnb]

Matchie you the goat

[@elbuenchamp]

Love when people build their favorite decks with a competitive mindset, congrats!

[@HakunaMyData]

Hehe ya, it’s great!

[@tehjefey]

I like the tech here. My mah said "I need to make an unfair board" Yeah that about checks out for YGO. Here's my board. Good luck breaking it >:) The part that makes me happy is that it's DM doing it. Reminds of the good old days when I did blue eyes guardragons with the world legacy priestess synchro and ended my board with a saryuja, Scarlight, Hope harbinger and borreload savage dragon xD. All the negates plus hand traps.

[@TheGregJohnston]

Entirely goated. Gotta love the homies doing well, were all gonna be behind Matchie when he tops a ycs with this. Nothing but love for the guy

[@gabrielcaminero]

I'm gonna give a little spoiler for Matchie: - Most players still don't believe that this is a Dark Magician deck, and think is a Branded deck just because you're not playing Circle + Eternal Soul and 2x of DM or REF. That being said, if you feel that there are better cards to use for your deck that is not part of the archetype, then just used it, because if you don't, then you are limiting yourself to improve more your build. You are a creative player, do not let that the typical paradigm thinking of "you are playing more cards of this engine than that engine, so this deck is the other engine" stops or have influence in your deckbuilding process. What makes your deck primarily are your main win conditions. That's what matters most. Your use of the Branded engine is just the route you chose to get to your main win conditions, which are the same win conditions you would have if you go for more DM engines cards in your main deck, but way better and faster. Don't be afraid to cut Rod and add Aluber, because you have a great argument to play it, and at the end your deck would still be Dark Magician (even if others players do not believe the same).

[@luigisp9766]

Deck is still predominantly Dark Magician cards over Branded (even with the Extra Deck cards)

[@gabrielcaminero]

@@luigisp9766 Indeed it is. And even if he decides to cut more of the DM engine cards from the main deck and put more Branded engine, if his main win conditions are the same DM win conditions as usual (Dragoon + Village or Dragoon + Winda or more interruptions) then the deck is still Dark Magician.

[@magicalibra2049]

So long as it still has a “Dark Magician” Engines AT all… it’s still dark magician + whatever he plays. And vice verse… he can call it “whatever + dark magicians” deck It’s the same.. who gives a crap what you call it! The point is you took dark magician to a ycs and rocked peoples worlds. I took Dark Magician to a ycs when Verte was still at 3 and placed 17th out of 100 people I think? Idr it was a a while ago lol

[@luigirock96]

​@@gabrielcamineroehn no, thats like saying i put 3 scareclaw cards into my kashtira deck therefore its a scareclaw deck is not true. It becomes a engine, and a engine is not the same as a deck archtype. If he keeps removing more dmg cards, reducing the identity then its not a dm deck any more.

[@eriktorres6994]

Have literally been building my deck around Matchies build, absolutely love it.

[@Schmitt_TV]

From one DM main to another. Cheers dude! Great profile 💯🫡

[@JamTheLad]

I love him! he and I are best friends now you know x

[@gungnir382]

Wow! I play Dark Magician since 2002 so 21 Years now :D DMG is my favourite Card since ever.

[@Thomaswake]

Man oh man do we need some more Magicians' Souls reprints

[@rez-1270]

MATCHIEYGO!!!! he is the Goat!!! hope this man tops with it

[@HakunaMyData]

For sure, can’t wait for that YCS Vancouver

[@wyspreegamings6380]

Well done Matchie

[@leizier]

Interesting take on Dark magician although i would always play circle and eternal soul, it helps to grind out and deck feels to me more like dm deck rather than engine with more dm cards being in it.

[@johnthetactician]

Magicians' Souls and Fusion Deployment is Eternal Soul, just can't be used on opponent's turn.

[@magicalibra2049]

@@johnthetacticianagreed but it lacks that and that DM would still be affected by card effects. But I do agree… I believe this profile is more preferred to play the deck… it seems pretty cool ngl

[@Wulfgang239]

Illusion of Chaos: Can’t search “any” DM card, it can only search DM or Non-Ritual monsters related to it.

[@vicsooth5338]

Great video, great deck!

I'd like to see some games with this list to see some of the lines. Seems neat.

[@DBZViet]

Matchie is the GOAT😎🔥

[@HakunaMyData]

Haha woohoo

[@thedemonofrazgriz3602]

Damn that's crazy I'm building a blue-eyes deck myself for the case tourney at my locals soon

I’m hosting a tournament with some friends and I’m gonna try this deck with a Revived Sky God package. I feel like it could be a cool for fun option

[@HakunaMyData]

Glad to hear your excitement!

[@mannywhiskey7872]

im confused...about his 1 dark magician what if they banish his dark magician with dd crow or called by. how can he recycle it like he keeps stating

[@PlusquamPerfekt256]

Awesome!

[@yasiso7544]

This is so amazing to hear!!! Congrats bro!!! ❤ Was this a local in Toronto!?

[@HakunaMyData]

This was actually a store in Brampton called Dragon World Card Games and Collectibles. It was my first time there but the store is honestly really great! Super big and clean, and good vibes overall

[@reallife3429]

people be sleepin on DM!

[@tanjiroOg295]

Can i play this deck in duel masters?

[@DBZViet]

Man sorry about jobe we’re also tired of that clown☠️every dm KZbinr need to deal with him ☠️🙏hope u have a good day

[@HakunaMyData]

Haha aw hope you have a good day as well

[@gungnir382]

I had then the Luck to avoiding him 😅

[@Mr1spooky4]

One call by the grave to banish that 1 dm or dmg the engine is fkd...

[@godsmithofchaos]

Of course it was Branded 💪🏽😅 Good job though

[@HakunaMyData]

Haha it’s an amazing add-on but definitely Dark Magician at heart 😇

[@Pokechao]

were you concerned at all about Kash banishing your one of Dark Magician? thats the only thing keeping me from cutting him down

[@TowTruk3rd]

You can recur him easily with Branded stuff unless he is banished face down.

[@anthonymason9855]

I would play two DM instead of one because called by the grave exists and you will have a bad time when its banished

[@HakunaMyData]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@EndeavorsBlaze]

Lubellion will recurr DM from the Banished pile. But I do agree somewhat. I feel like 2 DM is handy, but I've been working with 1 myself, and I do like it. If you're not running DMG, then add the 2nd. The way the deck is built, you don't Inherently need a DM to bring out Dragoon. Dm just get you a pop, which is handy. Duality is beautiful for this reason lol

[@andross2]

Shouldn't we call this Branded Magician? Feels a bit of a stretch to only say DM.

[@HakunaMyData]

I included Branded in the description instead because I ran out of the character limit for the title lmao

[@truegamerking]

Hmmm I don't think BM has quite the meaning they're looking for

[@silverg5456]

One DM don't think it's a good idea NC it cab get banished..

[@LaxusDB]

No Equeste? Or not needed?

[@tdudl6630]

Was this in Advanced format?

[@Il_Misantropo]

But where does Winda come from? I didn't see any Shaddoll components in the main deck...

[@shy_waffle]

Extra deck

[@HakunaMyData]

You basically fuse it off using Apkallone

[@Arrhythmatica]

Send Apkallone to the graveyard with Granguignol, search Schism, use that to make Winda using the Apkallone from GY

[@darylwright6093]

Branded DM deck not DM deck. Pure and simple. The engine is what the deck is. They need to create a New DM card that has a universally useful effect AND give it good support. example: This card is treated as "Dark Magician." This card can be special summoned by tributing 1 spellcaster from the field or your hand, Once per turn, this card can negate a spell card and if you do, you can activate 1 of the following effects: *Add 1 Dark Magician card from you deck to you hand *Special Summon 1 Spellcaster from you Deck *Add 1 Sorcerer of Dark Magic from your deck to your hand

[@renegarcia2857]

How do you summon Winda?

[@Il_Misantropo]

Then I'm not the only one to have noticed that a piece is missing...

[@shy_waffle]

He uses construct from the extra deck

[@shy_waffle]

My bad it’s not construct it was apkallone

[@sethwiget1210]

Granginule the dusk dragon, send apkalone, set schism.

[@Il_Misantropo]

@@sethwiget1210 I've always seen Shaddoll used, but never used it myself. Good to know.

[@KCS_]

Silly me for thinking a pure Dark Magician got 1st place lol

[@ANBU_Blk_0p]

Would've been more impressive if it was an actual Dark Magician deck 🙄
