THE BEST WAY TO PLAY DARK MAGICIAN!

underrated comment

[@jessekottonygo]

LOOOOL, never even considered that

[@Cashmoneez]

Jesse got Sam sitting on his shoulder whispering in his ear like the devil to make a dark magician deck for views 🤣

[@Kentanimationnnnnnnnn]

think sam could really ride jesse?

[@revice950]

I probably say that the angel must be another Sam making him play a competitive deck😂

[@jobejacobs62]

LETS GO!!! DM BEST DECK! Also new DM structure deck 2025!!!!

[@strawberrysherbet96]

Yeah he got blue eyes lined up next 😂

[@Kintaku]

Lol I ain’t mad. Let the man get his bag 😂

[@dimensional9536]

The fact jessie is making a dark magician deck makes me soo happy

[@adamquenano8563]

Even if the archetype is underwhelming, everyone has a soft spot for dark magician

[@jeremydyar7566]

Not everyone

[@i55ed]

who's "everyone" i hate dm

[@carlozeno8811]

Nuh uh

[@lewyg]

And a hard spot for dark magician girl 😅

[@adamquenano8563]

@ When I learned her age my interests disappeared instantly

[@PH_Medeiros]

The recent treatment hat BE had, gives me hope that Dark Magician will get properly supported in the future.

[@elyusi_kei]

Isn't Toy Box an archetype that little Yugi uses in the manga? So I think this deck is even more Yugi/DM-era BatChest than Jesse realizes.

[@jobejacobs62]

Yeah he won the Duel with Dark Red Enchanter

[@charlesr951]

I think with the new Yugi pack that just came out he can make a decent little Yugi deck. Should be better than forcing dark magician.

[@spacebeast7958]

I use the fact that DM is a normal monster. I use cards like “champion’s vigilance” and “ proof of powerlessness”. Very helpful and catches people off guard.

[@firemage8874]

Artemus the moon magistus lets you dump you magicians rod into the graveyard after using it, then its graveyard effect lets you add it back to hand during your opponents turn. Also link spider lets you get dark magician to the graveyard in a pinch so you can have it to reborn with soul servant on your opponents turn to banish something. Bystials also work pretty well in this deck for getting that dragon on board for magician knight so he can protect your backrow, but red eyes meteor dragon works just as well at getting those brick dark magicians out of your deck to facilitate a special summon of itself. Just some half decent tech cards for a bad deck, but if anyone has bothered to read this far try them out

[@ordinaryguy2623]

I use relinquish anima for rod but yes, it's a spellcaster you can use wand on it to draw 2 you can use it with secret village etc. I use battle fader but dark magician kuriboh is also good

[@MatchieYGO]

I absolutely love some of the ideas here! Great video!

[@cIzanagi]

Jesse Dm vs. Matchie Dm when?

[@MatchieYGO]

@@cIzanagi it would be fun for sure, this list and the one I’ve been working with are built with similar ideas

[@Corey91666]

100% tbh i optimized bystial toy box DM for the TCG and 1 reason i wanted to play bystials is to have more options into dragoon. I realized though that i dont really reliably can go into dragoon as the DM side is quite slim and DM sitting in deck or GY most of the time. What i want to do now is explore magicalized fusion. Also i wonder if a predaplant version is possible to search it and go heavily into fusions. Watched alot of your vids to get some inspiration although rn i am not fully able to play your runick version as i am not yet acustomed to runick cards. Also i want to explore a more heavy dogmatika DM version controlling the game through magician of chaos (the Ritual) and circle + eternal soul.

[@birdman53191]

Jesse you are forever the goat! Loved the duels between you, Sam, and Dion.. hopefully more to come!

[@Billy-ot8mk]

The Ultimate Duelist with the ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense, a great video.

[@mcginge007]

Silent magician level 8 entered the chat.

[@jdrm3710]

Ah yes the best Dark Magician card, Diabellestar

[@kt_mastaru8767]

YES, JESSE, THANK YOU SO MUCH, IVE BEEN BEGGING FOR YOU TO MAKE THIS DECK META

[@williamclemens8456]

Galaxy-eyes please my friend! Good god those dragons look badass!

[@LoyalWackGamer]

A cool option as Well in this deck is “duality”: - Cartesia + light or dark = Grang - Grang effect - opponent uses imperm/ mourner/ veiler - duality: tribute Grang (light level 8 spellcaster) -> summon master of chaos, the dark magicians (or dragoon in tcg)

[@undeadinside3571]

@@LoyalWackGamer oh my god i forgot you can cheat out dragoon that way!

[@jd7896]

Dragoon has been legal in master duel since pretty much after you commented this lol. Been using it for weeks now. You can verte into red eyes fusion using rod and souls as tribute for verte, turn 1.

[@metajmw4717]

as someone who has been playing nothing else but dark magician on master duel, I can see the list is decent, but very improvable. For a list that doesn't use a copy of Albaz to turbo out dragon knight with Anaconda and branded fusion using Sanctifire or uses the Nadir package and quem to get out magia or even just the 5 card kashtira pile it is not bad. Especially considering you play 60 cards and I don't have enough experience of the game in general to build a 60 card deck. But man if you already play 3 toy soldier you could just add Rota right? XD Anyway, the most unknown way is to also play chaos mirrage dragon as a toy box target, that can make synchro plays with Targets like Omega, Baron, and Psychic end Punisher.

[@BlackRose-rp7kv]

the spell bond between teacher and student for some reason feels very fun when using it and that's literally the sole reason I play dark magician. besides liking the dark magicians I have to admit that spell in particular is the reason I play the deck, it's just what gets my endorphins going 🤷‍♀️

[@thenerdlabofficial]

I'm one of those stubborn guys who likes to play pure DM, for the most part, with Toy Box. I do run Magia, so I have a Goddess with the third eye, which can be searched with Toy Soldier. Then I use Timaeus the United Dragon. To get Magia out. I also run a few floodgates to slow my opponent down to my level. Skill Drain, There Can Be Only One, etc. And Souls can get rid of them.

[@ShinerCCC]

I'm not a fan of Dark Magician or anything but I had fun brewing with the structures anyway. Kashtira is good to mix, with Birth and Eternal Soul you're making a rank 7 every turn. But my personal favourite was using Magician's Restage with Effect Veiler and Droll for some nice link climbing and Hand searchers to stop the enemy's spells and traps, including Super Poly

[@MarvinUlloa92]

This was a great video. I’m getting back into the game and love how you always go through your thought process. That first duel vs Tenpai was chef’s kiss. Hopefully we can get a Red Eyes video soon as well!

[@Oxnypognip]

Armed Dragon got an insane new card in INFO and it’s only a matter of time until it comes to MD. Once it does I’d love to see your take on the deck! I’ve been cooking with it for over 4 years and am in need of a new set of eyes on it

[@theobarker9312]

I feel dark magician should get good support in the near future as blue-eyes has got some in the OCG so hopefully dark magician will aswell

[@NivekVX]

26:50 you could have also special summoned DMG from Tanks effect and special DM thanks to Salvations effect and banish one card with circle, then Synchro DMG and Soldier into Chaosangel and banish one more card The outcome would have been the same here, but think this is overall the better play

[@jessekottonygo]

Oh ye , that’s cool. It didn’t matter obviously i was in an extremely commanding position.

[@tenfeettall9579]

They just released the melodious support in MD. I love this archetype and would really like to see the GOAT piloting this deck to victory.

[@naiko8412]

Still don’t understand why konami doesn’t make meta decks out of the anime decks like they did with yubel it sells product and people are happy

[@undeadinside3571]

Red dragon archfiend got some insane support too. Crystal beasts too

[@RichardThrobbin]

Patience. They are just redoing blue-eyes. Give it time I'm sure DM will be getting something busted.

[@PrehistoricMenagerie]

A big corporation doing something that pleases their audience/market? Thats ambitious 😂

[@PrehistoricMenagerie]

@@naiko8412 somehow corporations have found a way to make money even though their consumer base actively hates everything they do 😂

[@SkighW0kker]

I love this series but can you do more tcg decks?

[@RedJackal02]

I would love to see your take on Generaider

[@TheLocalman2012]

Jesse continues to prove that he is one of the greatest to ever play the game

[@lightty]

Have you considered magnet warriors?

[@MrPolonz]

The primite cards will boost the deck again,i wonder when they release those in MD.

[@justinpfannenschmidt6213]

probably an unsearchable card (except you use diabellstar) would have been sinful spoils of doom - rciela. it blows up monsters and protects the spellcaster you target. it only needs to target a level 7 or higher spellcaster monster you control

[@warrenwijayaratnam2684]

"Who's trynna play with that..." Is diabolical.

[@arbbar2674]

man, those were some crazy duels, gotta love it

[@Pursue.Happiness]

Can you make a dark magician variant that combines shining sarcophagus since it’s about to be release in MD

[@BlufireTheifprince]

I would love to see how you could optimize my recent favorite archetype in Dragonmaids in Master duel I always love using dragon inspired decks as well

[@ChronicKilla912]

Would love to see what you can do with Abyss Actors!

[@benjystrauss2524]

According to Dkayed, REDD is coming to Master Duel. But REDD or not, I think the best engine for Dark Magician is actually branded (not your 2-card engine, but a larger engine with bystials), and the boss you want is Dark Magician the Dragon Knight (with Eternal Soul) - the lock is VERY hard to deal with.

[@todesschnitzelesser]

Well, DMG wasn't ok my Jesse deck bucket list. I think especially since the support is not good enough and too old at this point, it is not an interesting deck to build. There is another good use for Souls of Magician: Gate Guardian! It sends Kazejin to GY and can then send the spell/traps as well, to draw and then search Kazejin, Suijin and Sanga. Funny deck!

[@rubberduckie5518]

Gaaaaaate Gaaaurdian!

[@ProseismyVision]

Now that Dragoon is coming back, how might you change this? I'm curious to see how radical a shift it makes, since the strategy would seem to shift dramatically to getting Dragoon out as fast as possible. But I could see how Dragoon playing off of The Dark Magicians' draw effect could be quite lovely.

[@ResidentEvilNostalgia]

42:22 what UR trap is that? there are 3 copies.

[@kalipo9]

This is cool asf. I run a similar list and I like to run a bystial package to open up for more synchro play. The end board is a bit more generic rather than DM but it can make up to 8 interruptions going 1st.

[@Draconet-yr2vo]

Make Shining Sarcophagus meta plz Jesse

[@thedemonofrazgriz3602]

I'd love to see a Drytron build in the future, but I have to say this is a nice build, even though I quit master duel a while ago. Thanks for sharing!

[@ellesmer3012]

I’ve been waiting for this, DM is my all time favorite deck and my main deck I’m always playing ❤❤❤❤

Would LOVE to see Cyber Dragons next! Especially with the new Disablaster card, works AMAZING with machine dupe!

[@LouisBlogs]

Great deck list!!! I would love a Neospacian Deck!!! I have all of the cards and I'm not sure how to take it to the next level. If anyone can figure it out, it's you Jesse 😁.

I’d like to see your take on gate guardian Night be kinda similar to this deck with toy box and souls

[@cheddar204]

hello jesse!!! i would really like if you made an elementsaber deck, i think it goes really well with your milling playstyle :3 much love!

[@rayflexer698]

Hi Jesse, love your videos. How about doing ogdoadic next since you mentioned it in a previous video?

[@mikibeni]

Hey Jesse, great content, huge fan here. I'd love to see your turn on how to make a Heat Wave deck with Normal Dragons meta. I've been trying and there's a lot of potential with the draw power of Cards of Consonance, White Elephant's Gift and Piercing the Darkness or cards like Silver's Cry, Dragon's Shrine and Painful Decision :)

[@Foxywaterable]

Jesse is gonna beat you no matter what he is playing. Dude has the heart of the cards.

[@KingChickinWing814]

Ive watched this soooo many times. Do one for paper with Dark Dragoon?

[@proctavia8905]

For Master Duel, I think Runick DM might be the better, or at least a more flexible, choice. Very fun build.

[@thedabbleking7126]

Jesse, doing this with Flame swordsman would be cool thanks for the video❤️

[@sunshindo3726]

Made a dm deck back when souls came out. It was beast.. used tenyi as a secondary archtype. It was prety slick. Used blue tenyi when they would pop my trap destroys but the blue will bring it back.

[@vincesims8839]

I'd love to see his thoughts on a Despia/Darklord deck, I pilot one and I would love to see what he comes up with! Also, more love for D/D/D , my secondary deck would be much appreciated! 😂

[@xDarena]

I would love to see a BLS deck list from you!!

[@oscarsantos4813]

On the first game you could have normal summon toy soldier it will search the toy box then use soul for 2 cards and I think the board will end up been a little better.

[@ONIGIRIKINGU]

I need to see Vaalmonica, I want to see more people play it and spread the love even if its not my pet deck

[@MrDavidRicketts]

Red Eyes/Joey support NEEDS meta treatment. I have custom support -2 Ritual -6 Fusion -2 XYZ -15 Effect Support monsters - 16 Spells - 8 Traps - 1 Ritual Spell

[@toddwilliams1281]

I like the Selene into access code talker. If I open enough spells summon souls and rod, link to Selene, use her effect to revive rod or code talker. A few times I have ended on dm dragon knight or the dark magicians with access code talker at 5300

[@The_Sentai_System]

Do you think Dragoon is worth playing or is it not needed in this build?

[@khananiel-joshuashimunov4561]

Really hoping to see charmers, it's the deck that brought me back to the game. It's hard to see a list that had both the little girls and their grown up versions. I have so many versions of the deck. Magistus is an easy choice. In master duel I have a fairy tail and horus version. I'm trying out some ecclesia/Dogmatika engines. Haven't been able to get witchcrafter cards to check them out. Funny enough gravekeepers have a lot of 1500 DEF spellcasters, but idk what the cards do. Almost all the versions I have are 60 cards because it's bricky It's a deck that can go a lot of ways, so would love to see youre take!

[@DadcastGames]

Yo, I would love to see a Harpie deck

[@roysamuels9468]

Glad that you actually tried to incorporate as many DM support as you feasibly could. Sam's newest version of DM decks don't even use DM.. they can hardly be called DM decks.

Would be interested to see what you can do with DM in TCG and OCG format, i as DM player experment with alot over the years at this moment toybox engine with links are solid, Primite engine is fun you can play more of a controlled version with it but Azamina White Forest with Diabell engine is where its at but thing is it doesnt feel like im playing with DM cards :(

[@HTMLRulezBro]

I neeeeeeeeed to see a meta Toon Deck!

[@kyronpitts6220]

[@billybonner3138]

Why not put magicians arm not sure if its left or right but it does protect your cards from duster and storm for circle plays on your opponents turn

[@fernanestra6197]

Dark Magician is set to get a structure deck with new cards, just like blue eyes. However it’s to be determined

[@dmaster2]

Can you do Thunder Draons (the best dragons that aren't dragons) please

[@followcb2fly]

Forgot about the one fusion that protects your back row from destruction

[@oscarsantos4813]

First turn chaos angel with dark magician girl and a toy card is good turn one against tempai since it cant be destroy by battle nor affected by activated effects.
