This deck is incredible, one question bro: Have you considered use 2 aluber and 3 branded opening, just for search branded fusión more faster. Good lucke in the WCS

[@MatchieYGO]

Alubers and opening will only come if I decide on playing quem… personally I think it adds more fluff to a deck that doesn’t really need it. It’s cute, just not the optimal way to play this version of DM/Branded

[@gotanygrapes2471]

[@Paxtnb]

I like the one dm one dmg soul servant is good I even do it in red build. But I found a way to play circle in dm and make it work.

[@jandewit6493]

Can you elaborate on the duality plays? I don't understand/ see how Cartesia itself can become a Dragoon since the level is not the same. Also, how do you use shaddol Schism to summon out the shaddol monsters if you don't play any main deck shaddolls? Maybe I am just dumb but I really don't understand the plays

[@MatchieYGO]

Haha. Don’t worry, it’s a much more simple than you think! Expect a combo and test hand video this weekend that’ll go over all of that :)

[@DarkMagicianG]

YEEEEES DUDE WELL DONE

[@MatchieYGO]

I’m so impressed with the list! Thank you for your support !

[@KHuyPh]

@MatchieYGO I know youre in the middle of prepping your DM deck for YCS, but what's your opinion on combining DM-Branded with the new Illusion engine? I put one together using your DM-Branded ratios (minus Blazing Cartesia engine) and the Illusion engine from TeamSamuraiX1 and I've found the Illusion engine adds a lot of speed and resource recursion that you can rely on until you can get Dragoon out. If anything, Dragoon is just the icing on top because you have so many interruptions and good boss monsters with Illusion. But I'm super casual, never played competitive, so I wanted your opinion.

[@MatchieYGO]

It’s cute. I don’t think it’s fantastic… I know other DM players are trying to make it work, I just don’t see the synergy outside of “I do illusion stuff, if I get interrupted, I can do my DM stuff freely” which is cute. But I don’t think it’s viable at very high levels of play. I am very interested in playing the deck on its own though! It looks amazing

[@KHuyPh]

@@MatchieYGO yeah after playing around with the deck for few hours I felt the same. I played a couple of times against Tear-Ishizu decks and while it seemed to hold its own better than other DM dragoon decks I've played, I still lost if they got their board all set up

[@michaelreetz503]

Would you consider playing Master of Chaos

[@MatchieYGO]

Maybe. If I decide on cutting super poly going forward, then with a more loose extra deck, I’d definelty consider playing master of chaos, i think it can have a spot in the deck.

[@averylr32]

what was your side deck ratio? i personally feel like playing both krui and nib is a little redundant in my humble opinion lol regardless though congrats! on the win homie! imma try your build out!

[@alexarevalo5006]

As an old player trying to get back into yugioh. Could you make a video for why you chose the extra deck cards and some of the specifics of what the deck is trying to do against certain matchups? Combos, etc. sorry if you have a video already explaining , thanks in advance! Congrats on 1st place.🎉

[@MatchieYGO]

Thanks for the comment! So many people are requesting the same thing, so I’ll def be doing a combo/ test hand video in the near future :)

[@dustinvance243]

Simple. Because branded stuff and generic super poly targets are frickin broken. Only 3 of the cards in the extra deck were dm cards. In fact I'd even go so far as to say this isn't a dm deck, but rather a branded deck using dm cards. Unfortunately you'll find a lot of meta players like this. Gutting the identity of the deck and filling it with meta staples and having the audacity to say the deck they butchered is still the same deck.

[@MatchieYGO]

@@dustinvance243 to each their own. The deck has 17 main deck DM cards, 7 Branded cards, the the rest is staples and power cards. What’s the difference between something like this Vs a deck like Kash that does the same thing (15-18 in archetype cards and the rest staples) If you wish to play every single bad DM extra deck monster and never go into them under any circumstances, because dragoon is just infinitely better, then by all means, go for it. But don’t expect to get results consistently If I was playing at a causal level, Absolutely, I’d load up 3 Circles, 3 ES and have a ride going x-2 or. X-3 at locals. That’s just not the reality of what I’m trying to do here.

[@dustinvance243]

@@MatchieYGO and you just confirmed you're like every other toxic meta player i have to put up with. And now you've exposed yourself as a liar with your blatant disrespect towards dark magician archetype. You made a mockery of the people that want to compete with actual dm decks with this video and you can bet that i won't be watching anything else of yours.

[@MatchieYGO]

@@dustinvance243 it’s a shame you think that way. I’ll release a combo video this week. Hopefully it’ll change your perspective. I’d also love and encourage you to try the list for yourself, keeping an open mind. The deck HEAVILY relies on the DM engine, specifically having DM himself in constant rotation. If however you wish to be stuck in a 2017 mindset with the deck, by all means, who am I to tell you how you should and shouldn’t play the deck. Yugioh is a game with thousands of cards, feel free to use any of them in your lists.

[@ThePandemonius]

May I know wich decks did you face during the event? Also what would you use instead of Kurikara and thrust as budget options? I know those cards ain't replaceable at all, but I'm talking regard a build that could be able to top on a local event.

[@MatchieYGO]

To answer your question about the budget alternatives, for kurikara, Kaiju’s are pretty strong and for Thrusts, I’d say cut that entire package and play DRNM, And evenly in the side :) hope this helps! Matchups were Round 1 - Hero’s Round 2 - Purrley Round 3 - I forget Round 4 - Branded Round 5 - Rikka Top Cut - Purrley

[@ThePandemonius]

@@MatchieYGO wow it seems it was a very tough tournament! Congratulations and thank you for the answers, this brings me some hope for the future of DM :)

[@mudyao]

which locals do you play at?

[@agagchannel7992]

do you think this deck profile with the adding of the chimera archetype would be much more strong and competitive ? and the second question is will you evere going to do a deck profile of chimera /branded /dispia / DM ?

[@MatchieYGO]

No, def not with Dark Magician. Both engines have zero synergy with eachother. That being said, I have been testing the new chimera deck on its own! It’s so fun! I’ll definitely do a video on it eventually!

[@Kaos9696]

I only play on Master Duel, but this is some of the most revolutionary DM deckbuilding I've seen

[@andresrosado6677]

Wow. What a good looking deck. I'm honestly not familiarized with the Dark Magician modern cards, but the art is insane. I remember back then when Dark Magician of Chaos and Dark Paladin were probably the coolest. Congratulations on your win!

[@MatchieYGO]

Oh yeah, those cards were the foundation for the love I have for the archetype! I appreciate the comment! Means so much to me

[@lilpimp994]

Damn I was just getting comfortable with 3 evenly matched and 3 dark rulers in the main deck.

[@MatchieYGO]

They are still very good! I’d continue playing them. The changes and cuts were just a meta call on what I expected to see at this specific event.

[@lilpimp994]

Thank You King!! Keep up the amazing work!

[@bigbucks0692]

I feel like 2 illusion and one prep might make this a little better, despite droll.

[@MatchieYGO]

The math doesn’t change at all in that situation… A better argument would be 2 prep 2 IOC, but even then, droll is in every main deck, and the math doesn’t warrant the risk… droll on prep ends your turn in most situations The option to draw 1 extra card off souls doesn’t make any sense in this case

[@bigbucks0692]

@@MatchieYGO Eh, that's fair. I can see the draw 1 as useful as a niche, but I suppose if you don't like droll then I can see it. You don't have a lot of potentially dead spells and traps like normal dm decks so I can see why you'd think the extra draw 1 isn't worth it, but I'd rather thin out the extra illusion if I end up already having it, and save for the weird case scenario of an extra draw 1 if you're dead.

[@Oskiz13]

A superpoly target could be Mysterion the Dragon Crown! I don’t know if you have tested the card out yet on test hands or duels with your friends and I don’t know if it would be optimal in this build or in any other variation you make but hey, it’s worth it to try! :) Mysterion has put some of my friends against the ropes in same duels haha.

[@MatchieYGO]

I’ve tried it :) even as a duality target it’s a interesting card… just the extra deck is so tight there isn’t any room for it right now. But I have tested it :) it’s an interesting tech for sure Thanks for the comment!

[@jayyqnilla]

Congrats on your win! Although, as a dark magician player, these builds are starting to feel more less of a Dark magician deck. Wish DM had more support.

Getting a new DM structure deck soon so we just gotta wait a bit more

[@MatchieYGO]

Support is coming :) until then we need to make the most out of what we have

[@fraternovaeres]

Super Poly has been my ace in the hole for Dark Magician for months. It's just so good. Besides the normal Super Poly targets, Dark Magician's own fusion monsters give him plenty of flexibility for using Super Poly. Dark Cavalry let's you Super Poly Baronne, for instance. Granted you don't have room for Cavalry, but still I agree Super Poly is a nutty support card for DM.

[@HieiZx]

How come no dark magical circle or eternal soul 🤔

[@MatchieYGO]

DMC and ES are very outdated. So many resources need to be spent for 1 banish and recursion and then ES could pop your entire board if its dealt with. It’s outdated and doesn’t do enough. The DM engine in the video is all you need : Replenish resources from Soul servent stacking from grave and drawing 2 every turn… Secrets to ritual summon and fuse…. rod, IOC, Souls to search every card you need to get dark magician in rotation.
