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

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

[@FischerSycophant]

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

[@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?"

[@ripple.live-on]

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

[@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deck, but until Dragun of Red Eyes, and Magicians Souls come out in the TCG I can’t decide on what to sub in for a few outdated cards..

[@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

[@Smol_Butt_Cheeky]

Someday Dark Magician will be tier 0! Someday...

[@iSunshine1337]

Hopefully not. I dont wanna see my DM cards get hit :(

[@shadowspector3611]

True, it would be bad for DM to be hit on the banlist but I guess we just have to settle with it being tier 1.

[@Goblin_Hands]

No, any deck based on non-pendulum vanillas simply cannot ever be Tier 1, not even Blue-Eyes or Exodia. Virtually impossible. Tier 0?? Hah, don't make me laugh.. Tier 2.5 at best.

[@shadowspector3611]

@@Goblin_Hands Depends on the support given. They could give DM some broken support and make the deck overpowered.

[@Akira2805]

I've had my 1st ed Magicians Force DMG since the release of that pack series. Was a gift from my brother. Promised never to sell or trade it. Never been used.

[@elhuddie1617]

That 1st ed MFC dark magician girl.......u can‘t tell me ur playing with that treasure 😱

[@N8-PT]

Eh. It’s censored. The OCG version is the real treasure.

[@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.

[@superficialdolanfan1482]

Love the new play mat design, 19/10. Also I really appreciate the budget alternatives cuz not everyone can spend 1,000 bucks on cardboard 😂

[@damienrobinson134]

Don’t worry Sam I’m getting that dope ass play at next weekend , I love Dark magicians

[@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

[@robertbryan6039]

Yeah

[@damionbaxter4912]

I kinda want too see a ritual varient or dark magician using the New chaos magician but still a good profile.

[@isaiah8770]

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

[@ARC--5973]

Jesus Christ, I did not realize how much Dark Burning Magic costs But anyway, super hype for the new support. DM is my favorite deck of all time, and this is a great profile. Keep it up, Sam!

[@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

[@randykinzey3182]

Iv been waiting for this

[@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.

[@JonathanWestcott]

Sam, check out Trif's pendulum dark magician deck. His combo is pretty wild and it plays through handtraps.

[@shadowspector3611]

You've got a nice lineup but I think that Dark Magic Inheritance is important to search Bond faster.

[@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.

BRO... I was so sad to figure out that you SOLD OUT on those AWESOME mats 😢

[@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.

[@BlueEyesLX]

@@robertbryan6039 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..

@@kisamehoshigaki09 what ir decklist?

[@kisamehoshigaki09]

@@robertbryan6039 It's pretty similar to this one really, difference being I use a magician girl deck core to slow the opponent down while I nail them with dark burning magic. An extra eye of timaeus in there as well so I can have DM and DMG dragon knights on the field at the same time. Deck is almost as strong (will admit it's weaker than this version), is cheaper and entirely follows the DM/DMG archetype. The core is very similar - 3 DM, 3 DMG, 3 Apprentice Illusion, 3 Magician Nav, 3 Dark Burning Magic, 3 Magician's Rod, 2 Eye of TImaeus. After that I use one or two of each magician girl (Apple, lemon, etc.) depending on the importance of their effects and 3 chocolate magician girl because of the draw effect. You can fill the remaining slots with DM spell or trap cards, maybe some spellbooks or pots. I've yet to modify my deck with cards from the new set so I will likely shift a few of these around now that cards like Dark Magic Twin Burst exist and I will definitely be adding 1 or 2 of those in. I also go the XYZ route instead of the link route, A) because I wanted to make the magician theme consistent and B) because they just fit my play style more than links, so I used extra deck cards like number 11 Big Eye, Ebon High / Ebon Illusion magician, Norito the Moral Leader and of course the two dragon knights. So yeah, it's a decent deck that with some modifying from the new set will be even stronger and it follows the archetype / aesthetic perfectly. I'm excited for the new Chaos Magician archetype because it's entirely new!
