Yu-Gi-Oh! THE BEST DARK MAGICIAN DECK PROFILE 2019 BANLIST! FT. DARK MAGICIAN GIRL [POST DUEL POWER]

[@razorshell5987]

I love this style of video. The budget sections are really nice as well

[@FischerSycophant]

Yeah, the budget alternatives are a great inclusion. :)

[@connorclifton45]

I'm guessing next will be a Neos deck profile, then a Stardust Dragon deck profile, then Utopia, Odd-Eyes, and lastly Decode Talker?

[@babysinclairfan]

I hope so

[@nightshadesyrup1624]

Looking forward to a decode deck profile

[@atlasthekell]

@@babysinclairfan same as a fan of the Code Talkers

[@Lord-Kyle323]

Anyone else still find it weird to say ash blossom is a budget alternative now?

[@jacktube7356]

Yeah

[@Christianmartialartist78]

I was wondering why nobody uses Palladium Oracle Mahad for his effect of as soon as you draw him you can special summon him to the field and if he dies from attack or affect then you get a special summon Dark Magician from hand, deck or graveyard. I use one in my current deck and it always brings my dark magician to the field as soon as I need him or gets me a power card right off the bat for tribute.

[@NyxSakura]

As someone who used to main Mahad, the problem with him is that he can be quite a bricky card in your first hand, and if you happen to brick with him, the deck doesn't have many options to get rid of the card, especially if you decide to not use the Spellbook engine. Also, since he's Light, he has zero sinergy with Apprentice Illusion Magician, and Allure of Darkness if you choose to run it. Due to his effect, he can be decent against certain decks like Thunder Dragon and Orcust, since most of the monsters they keep on the field are Dark, but you have to keep in mind that these decks have their own forms of protection and ways to naturally get rid of Mahad without much trouble, so he won't be that useful on those matchups. Plus, on other matchups, he's mostly used to further your link/rank 7 plays and improve your board, so he won't be staying on the field for too long to use his effect of bringing out a Dark Magician.

[@Christianmartialartist78]

@@NyxSakura thank you so much for your input. I think I'm going to run him as a card in my extra deck just in case. I only have one I think it would be fun to run. I'm mostly going to be going to locals since I work a lot and I don't think many people are going to be expecting a dark magician deck.

[@ruffsenpai]

Thanks for these incredible videos man! I’m getting back into collecting again and learning from scratch is ROUGH! Any tips would be awesome 😁

[@sadrahafezi8794]

Please give a ritual build to

[@themuscardteers5687]

I made a dark magician deck with jester comfy utilizing illusion magic and spellbook of secrets since jester confit isn't a once per turn for special summon and the deck baits the hand traps so u won't need called by the grave. I use 2 or three dark magician girl since u are using magician navigation

[@nateb.4625]

Here's my profile without some of the SUPER expensive cards that I find work really well. Actually built this before this video dropped so I'm happy to see we had really similar builds. Someday I'll have the 3x Phantazmay haha. 3x Dark Magician 2x Dark Magician Girl 2x Apprentice Illusion Magician 2x Magician of Dark Illusion 3x Magicians Rod 1x Spellbook Magician of Prophecy 2x Droll and Lock Bird 2x Ash Blossom & Joyus Spring Spells: 3x Dark Magical Circle 3x Called By The Grave 2x Spellbook of Secrets 2x Spellbook of Power 2x Eye of Timaeus 1x Bond Between Teacher and Student 1x Dark Magic Twin Burst 1x Dark Magic Attack 1x Illusion Magic Traps: 3x Magicians Navigation 2x Eternal Soul 2x Solemn Strike Extra Deck (15) Fusion 1x Dark Magician The Dragon Knight 1x Dark Magician Girl The Dragon Knight 1x Amulet Dragon 1x Dark Cavalry Links 1x Link Spider 2x Proxy Dragon 1x Decode Talker 1x Topologic Bomber Dragon XYZ 2x Ebon Illusion Magician 1x Ebon High Magician 1x Number 11: Big Eye 1x Red Eyes Flare Metal Dragon 1x Norito The Moral Leader Side Deck 2x Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion 2x Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit 2x Winged Dragon of Ra Sphere Mode 2x Evenly Matched 2x Spell Shattering Arrow

[@nreeg17]

Thanks for the profile Sam. Have you ever considered “parry knights” as an alternative to phantasmay? It is a level 6 that can special summon itself from your hand if you take battle damage.

[@freakyfishguy1692]

What else does it do?

[@nreeg17]

It can also special summon another monster from your hand whose attack is less than or equal to the damage you took. It is no thanos dragon but I can help with potential rank 6 plays

[@anthonymmeek]

I like your video, quality, and the fact you shout out friends, but slow down when youre explaining. It'll really make things clearer and keep attention better

[@ultramindfreak13]

Would it be a good idea to run Crowley, the first propheseer? It can normal DM and it searches the spellbook engine upon summon.

[@danstern102]

ultramindfreak13 its good

[@BlueEyesLX]

Hi Sam, did you ever consider to play a combination of Keeper of Dragon Magic, Poly, Mana Dragon, Celestrial Observatory and Imduk? With Imduk, you have access to a Dragon all the time. Keeper can search the Poly directly and acts as fusion material. Mana Dragon has a pretty good effect and can be used for poly, too. Also he is level 6, so with Apprentice and now Magician Girl, there are many targets for Observatory.

[@Bryan23x]

Ull broke hard.

[@BlueEyesLX]

@@Bryan23x I play them for half a year now and everything's working pretty well.

[@Bryan23x]

@@BlueEyesLX damm u are say u play observatory and It work. U are Kiddin? It sucks Very Very hard. And u cant use imbuk If u gonna use keeper. ALL wrong man. Pls dont do It. Mana dragon is ok 1 copy keeper idk

[@BlueEyesLX]

@@Bryan23x The idk what you are doing, man. xD Why to use Imduk, when you got Keeper on the Field? That would be absolutely senseless. There are so many synergies between all these cards. Keeper and Mana are Dragons. Mana Dragon and Apprentice are Observatory targets. From field and hand, so it doesn't matter, whether using after the effect of Apprentice. You search DM, then you draw 2. When you draw poly anytime in the duel. You will most likely have at least one DM either on field or in hand. And you will probably have either Mana or Keeper in hand or on the field OR even a second DM to go in Imduk. So if you see Poly, most likely you will have the Dragonknight right away. For me it works all better than two Pot of Avarice, that doesn't allow you to special that turn, that sucks..

[@Bryan23x]

@@BlueEyesLX man observatory will broke u bcuz If u DNT have a nlv 6 ur bad. Much better use a spellbook engine. With the New link.

[@Magius6669]

What about Magician of Chaos? I want to see a deck profile with the Magician of Chaos build.

[@XxHalfricanxX]

Like the way you did the budget transition. Keep that. Love the deck profiles

[@isaiah8770]

Another super poly target that you can add or substitute is predaplant dracostapelia. Its actually a really good card.

[@MrDarkvilla]

Don’t have pot of extravagance, in your opinion what option is better 1. Use the set of spell book? Maybe the 1 kid 2 book to secret and 2 knowledge 2. Use 3 pot of desire and 2 duality And the option to not use “Thanos” what is better? 1. 3 ash blossom 2. 3 Veiler

[@aradigm1890]

Vieler because effects are happening more on the field than anything else

[@MrDarkvilla]

Zac Harrell and the other?

[@holy15master]

what's the point of 3 pot of extravagance? you can only have 15 extra so can only do the 6 two times (draw 2 card) and the 3rd would only be 1 card, and at that point u basically draw a card you woulda drawn anyway. can someone explain it to me?

[@KuroJet]

He wants to make sure he sees the card, not necessarily resolve it 3 times.

[@holy15master]

@@KuroJet ohhhhh. gotcha thanks man

[@misterinfinity9617]

why would you add a salamangreat fusion monsters without any salamangreat card? sorry if this is a stupid question.

[@pepsicola6634]

Super Poly allows you to use your opponents monsters as Fusion Material, so Super Poly can turn the tables against Salamangreats

[@strawberryygo3886]

If I told my old self from 2018 that ash blossom was a good budget alternative then my 2018 self would've laughed and said "what's next? They're going to give out free airpods on airplanes?"

Any advice. I've been running this deck and its a lot if FUN! substituted thanos with 2ash blossoms and 1 ogre. I am running tomahawk and dragosack on my xtras any advice? Im on ocg format

[@Trustypatch43]

It's okay, not amazing but does it's job

[@jj985955]

If you only had to choose one engine, which is better for a DM deck? The windwitch or the spellbook engine?

[@HomeDepotDade]

How are you gonna run a dark magician girl but no sages stone spell card

[@mikejames9073]

Sam wat do u think about running effect vieller its a spellcaster it negates monster effects is a hand trap plus gives u the ability to summon stardust dragon or stardust spark dragon to protect ur eternal sould plus allways fun to play dm and stardust together lol wat r ur thoughts

[@darkmilo378y]

I was wondering y wouldn’t u use magician of chaos

[@jasoncross2943]

I feel as though this deck will brick. Yes the new dark magician card is cool but if you draw dark magician girl in your first hand then you have to wait till you draw the spell. Yes rod can search it but you can search better cards like circle, soul or navigation. I very much prefer the fusion build

[@Bryan23x]

Yeah

[@foxkey319]

[@tariqgarmony2149]

I have one interesting question. I'm planning on buying some yugioh cards someday and I was wondering if I should start off with the starter decks or the structure decks. I was thinking that structure decks are more like starter decks.

[@red3d364]

Buy 3 salamangreat decks + 3 sunlight wolf... and you will be directly able to play a meta deck

[@goldenbonfire4804]

So you think this beats wind witch dark magician deck?

[@andrewc8663]

Hey Sam, I don't know if you are aware, but there is a channel (Erick Garcia Lozada) who is stealing YugiTuber's content, and reuploading it on their channel. This deck profile was one of those videos.

[@andrewc8663]

Here is the link to the stolen video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYmzaISVo5qtj80

[@Mars-1995]

I like that you give budget alternatives. Btw why are you running only one "bond"?

[@NyxSakura]

Well, since he didn't answer, I'm gonna try to come up with an answer myself. It's probably because the card is searchable and because most of the time you're only going to use it once as a way to get your DMG and the Dark Burning Magic on field, so you can blow your opponent's field and proceed to OTK. Also, the card can be quite bricky, especially if you don't manage to get your Dark Magician on the field, and considering that this deck has quite a few consistency problems, that can happen a little bit too frequently. I hope that might have helped you.

[@tommybarnes1997]

Finally some love for dark renewal, been running it in my build for so long now, such a great card.

[@sasquatchnheat4920]

Tommy Barnes I’ve run it successfully but it’s currently in my side deck, but until Dragun of Red Eyes, and Magicians Souls come out in the TCG I can’t decide on what to sub in for a few outdated cards..

[@pvrubim1]

How much to build this one?

[@shanesavage2843]

I would love to see a Ritual version that uses the magician of chaos. Currently play testing a variety of (budget) builds that don't quite seem to perform as well as the full fledged fusion version of this deck. Would love to here your (or someone else's) take on this.

[@SonoftheKing316]

Sam!!! I need that Magician of Chaos profile! Also why Bond between teacher and student at 1?

Man I dig the new way you made the vid. Very helpful for budget. Also nice rarities you have there

[@Tagperson]

If you set dark burning magic you can’t activate it the turn it was set because it’s a quick play spell

[@SumoNudel]

Dark Mag the D Knight (DM while on field or GY, also protects back row) makes for a good pseudo-lockdown when combined with Eternal Soul (Protects all DM's from spell/trap and monster effects)

[@Draco137YT]

Inheritance sucks

[@outis_406]

why would you use inhertiance when you have Magician's Rod?!?

[@shadowspector3611]

@@outis_406 Because Inheritance is like a 4th Magician's Rod and if you have both in hand, you can basically resolve Rod's effect twice. And the cost is basically nothing since you can't normally get your spells back from your grave other than DMOC but not everyone uses it.

[@outis_406]

@@shadowspector3611 Inheritance is a bad card. There is 0 reason to use it.

[@BFG_Guzma]

Damn am I really the only one who plays 1 Eternal Soul? Don't get me wrong the card is godlike, but it's searchable and has the downside of nuking your board when you lose it. At most it's a 2-of. And with the new support Soul isn't really a win con anymore. Also recommend trying Impermanence with Magician of Dark Illusion. And Dark Burning Attack as another Bond target since you can play that during the turn it's set.
