Yugioh Dark Magician Deck Profile - With 2017 Mega Tin Reprints & Link Monsters!

[@RedFlameKnight]

Great deck profile! Love Dark Magician! You should have 1 million subs! Been watching your videos now id say 5 years . Love your channel! Keep up the good work man!

[@jesliz5480]

thanks cyber knight, I've been looking for a really cool dark magician deck prof to use as a base for a more casual deck cause i like to use some of the other magicial girls, i mustt say this tops your old deck prof.

[@michaelklassen777]

I was thinking that too. I was waiting for this deck profile since i wanted to build a casual dark magician deck

[@jesliz5480]

Michael Klassen ye, i don't know why but i like to play a dark magician deck at a bit of a slower pace to do some flashy combos that wouldn't be conventional in a more competitive game

[@michaelklassen777]

Jes Liz agreed. I just need to build mine. I'm trying to test a build on devpro

[@jesliz5480]

Michael Klassen pretty good, what "fun" cards do you run is that build

[@michaelklassen777]

Jes Liz nothing too out of the ordinary. I didn't even get to test it before it closed me out of the app. But I'm gonna try again tonight. I run 3 apprentice illusion magician, since i heard she is essential.

[@LillyOmega2]

5:44 Finally someone acknowledges the downside of Pot of Desires. I was starting to get tired of people acting like it's always worth it to activate Pot of Desires, without acknowledging it has a huge downside. (Even in decks that benefit from the total number of banished cards, face-down or face-up, like Lightsworn Gandora.) Edit: Anyway, what 3 cards would you take out for Apprentice Illusion Magician for future updates? (If she's ever reprinted and that reprint is easy to access.)

[@darkmagicianscousin5261]

+Ember McLain Yeah, I find it really bizarre when people run Desires in something like ABCs or Dark Magician where you can easily banish your key play makers. Maybe take out 1 Dark Illusion, Kycoo, & 1 Illusion Magic? Dark Illusion could clog at 3, Illusion Magic can be added by Normal summoning Rod or picked up off of Duality or Circle, and Kycoo is... Kycoo.

[@joshuajohnson2131]

Duality conflicts hard with apprentice. I'd minus those 2 and a dark magic attack. You don't need 2 attacks. If you're resolving attack you're winning the game 9 times out of 10. Also if you're running apprentice id remove 1 illusion magic for the 3rd blue boy. Apprentice adds DM to hand so you don't need 2 illusion magic plus the blue boy at 3 is so much more consistent

[@FoxCeeEXE]

Joshua Johnson 3 blue boy can give blue balls too and clog your hand lol the highest I would have him at is 2 maybe a spellbook of power instead if you want to stay in that realm

[@streetfighter3652]

I like the effect of big eye as an XYZ. That's why I think big eye should be in almost every side deck. Nice vid cyberknight!!!!

[@LillyOmega2]

Question/responses to other things over, I think I'd like to see your take on Subterror, Dinomist, Paleozoic, Volcanics, and Red-Eyes (using OCG cards since we don't have Red-Eyes Slash Dragon, Gearfried, and Fang with Chain in the TCG yet) if it's not an issue. (Not all at once of course.) Unfortunately YGOPro doesn't have Link monsters yet but it can probably be explained what ones you would play (only 2x Proxy Dragon and 2x Mistar Boy in Dinomist, for example). And I wonder if the Spellbook draw engine would work in those; a lot of the time, Card of Demise clashes with other things I want to do in Dinomists and Paleozoic (even with lower monster counts).

[@NTG360]

Great Dark Magician profile man! Currently in the process of building one. Thanks for the share much appreciated

[@Jdawg1195]

Cyberknight's Main Deck Profile MONSTERS: 3x Dark Magician 3x Magician of Dark Illusion 3x Magicians Rod 3x Spellbook Magician of Prophecy 1x Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer 1x Maxx C SPELLS: 3x Spellbook of Secrets 3x Spellbook of Knowledge 2x Dark Magic Attack 2x Illusion Magic 3x Dark Magical Circle 1x Dark Magic Inheritance 1x Upstart Goblin 2x Pot of Duality 2x Secret Village of the Spellcasters 2x Terraforming TRAPS: 3x Magician Navigation 3x Eternal Soul

[@dapowa6163]

Jdawg 1195 tnx

[@JMOSORT]

Dude it sucks..... it sucks that apprentice magician is too expensive, I like your build specially that spell book engine it gave me ideas to incorporate my dark magician deck with spellboooks and my favorite card Dark Eradicator Warlock, keep it up the good work awesome content!!!

[@Akira2805]

JMO OPS as long as she remains the only print of her kind, she will continue to escalate in price due to her being available only in online shonen jump magazine. I think why her price jumped now was because of the Mega tins release and the promoting reprints of Dark Magician support.

[@FoxCeeEXE]

JMO OPS consider windwitches too I run spellbook and windwitches

[@BraningtonTV]

Thanks for the deck profile! Just out of curiosity, how much do you play test these decks before making a profile?

[@JMOSORT]

What do you think about Eradicator on this deck to have a burn for regular spells?

[@alterego4767]

Hi Cyberknight, nice deck profile. Hope you don't mind me asking but what sleeves do you use here? They look really high quality.

[@cyberknight8610]

I am using official sleeves in this video, the ones with Joey Yugi and Kaiba on them.

[@alterego4767]

Ah okay, thanks.

[@roguespiral]

AlterEgo you could try... the japanese ones called... players choice...theyre better than ultra pro ones.. the only ultra pro sleeves i like are the matte ones

[@rosendosanchez9902]

Love your videos 👌 great job 😊

[@cjcarroll9690]

awasome video cyber

[@supahsamsimmity1]

Have you ever done a neos deck? I'd like to see that. Also maybe a harpie deck? Great video!

[@TeamSavant]

supahsamsimmity1 If you want you can sub to my channel. I will be working on a profile for these if you want to see it.

[@supahsamsimmity1]

Team Savant I'll check it out. Cool

[@QS_27]

Hey man sorry that I never comment I love you videos and amazing pack openings

[@Momo1jiri]

I thought of the same thing for my dark magician deck. The small spellbook core goes a long way instead of banishing your monsters. That's cool.

[@hitman4DAcowboyz]

Lol bro this is exactly what I was trying to build !!! I almost bought her when she was $42 but I waited lol so now I will wait for a reprint lol 😂 great video and are y'all good? I live in the woodlands area!!

[@DefyantFoxV2]

Hey cyber, any interest in doing one for the timaeus version?

[@danielbanda5659]

I get the feeling that Spellbook of Knowledge will go up in price in a few months. Also nice deck btw.

[@idek4260]

Mate.... THIS IS THE BEST BLUE EYES DECK OMG IT WON ME A WHOLE TOURNEY

[@carlinrackley8547]

For the extra deck, I would suggest Performage Trapeze Magician for damage-canceler, you don't take damage unless it's equal to or greater than Trapeze's ATK of 2500. Also if you detach one XYZ material monster from this card, you can chose one monster except for Trapeze, that monster can make a second attack during that turn but will be destroyed at the end of Battle phase. So this would be a game-ender if the timing and conditions are just right. If Dark Magician is able to attack your opponent's LP twice due to Trapaze's effect, that's a total of 5000 points of damage right there, and even if it fails, Dark Magician would return to the field due to Eternal Soul.

[@atheld8124]

Dragunity is my favorite archetype, but with link summoning added, I can't find a viable way to play the deck. Do you think you can make a deck profile or something to help? I feel the less used archetypes need more love

[@dylanschneider7958]

Hey Cyberknight could we get a Shark(archetype) deck profile?

[@chichesteryugioh8339]

Really nice profile! ^_^ I've recently thought about using 1 Foolish Burial? Could be great to send either 1 Dark Magician to grave (To bring back with Eternal Soul) and you could also send a Magicians Rod to return him to your hand also?

[@rodrigoherreros4373]

Interesting DARK MAGICIAN DECK CYBERNIGHT

[@shadow_cardfighter5956]

Cyberknight could u plz make a blue eyes deck plz

[@cyberknight8610]

I might, not sure

[@shadow_cardfighter5956]

CyberKnight okay

[@michaeldellinger3377]

CyberKnight nice video i like watching your videos nice Dark Magician deck

[@michaeldellinger3377]

CyberKnight I like watching your videos everyday man

[@shadow_cardfighter5956]

CyberKnight on your cyberknightCCG can you do a shadow paladin diablo deck profile cause I am a huge vanguard fan and I wanna build a sp diablo deck could u help me plz and I'm a huge fan of both of your channels

[@MageAmazedYGO]

Great profile! I love Dark Magician! That's one of the archetypes I based my new channel name on. And yes! Good to know that I am not the only one who isn't 100% confident in Pot of Desires. I want it to be at least possible to get the cards I need from my deck. By the way, I'm wondering if you compete with any of the decks you profile. Just out of curiosity.

[@holaburger6075]

Quick question. Which set/deck/box did the foil original art Dark Magician come in?

[@StefanoSWITH]

What playmat is that in the background?

[@rickgunzaga1556]

Palladium Oracle Mahad would've been nice to run too, it's effect allows it to be easily special summoned to the field just by drawing it, and if destroyed by battle or card effect it can bring out a DM from your hand, deck, or GY

[@arianitlimani8103]

it does happen to draw it in the opening hand and you end up with a completely dead card :P

[@joshuajohnson2131]

Having a link spider in the extra deck is so useful honestly. After you push with attacks go to main phase 2 and make a link spider with a DM. It helps sets up eternal soul plays for dark magical circle effect.

[@epicgamerrpg8816]

Joshua Johnson i personally do that same play 4 the set up but use wonderwand 4 the draw power instead

[@TheCousinFool]

Hi Cyber! how about a Atlantean deck profile using Poseidra?

[@TeamSavant]

TheCousinFool I am currently working on an Atlantean deck profile. If you want to see it

[@amyhilling3094]

Absolutely amazing deck profile, im going to try and build dark magician spellbook windwitches

[@TRRYT]

Hey, so I have cards for both the magna/electromagna warrior archtype, but also a lot for dark magcian, which is better?

[@Jaytwothreee_]

Going to steal your deck profile if you don't mind! Also can this deck work without an extra deck? Cyberknight

[@cyberknight8610]

sure, you kinda need the xyz monsters at the very least get the dark magician xyzs and a number 11

[@jarrettlongofficial]

You should also try adding "Legion the fiend Jester" he had an ability that lets you summon Dark Magician extremely easily as well as other spellcasters.

[@RobertoLoux]

I feel like you should run more traps. If you're able to get all your combo pieces ready you could also have solemns to back it up. Sometimes banishing with circle isn't enough.

[@yumacokuma3826]

Did you got 2 exodia or 1 or 3...

[@Altigue]

Apprentice Illusion Magician is expensive but honestly it's a mandatory 3-of to me. Makes the deck so much more consistent being able to get a DM as soon as it's summoned, hand traps are always nice too, and it's a free level 6 2k beater. The only reason not to run it at 3 is because it's pricey, but I got a playset for free so. But it bumps DM from casual tier to entirely viable.

[@AnishRajah]

Can you do a blue eyes deck profile with firewall dragon in it?

[@desmondizko3050]

I wanna see a D/D/D deck profile sometime in the future

[@TeamSavant]

Desmond Izko I have a D/D/D deck profile on my channel that works really well. I have a competitive version in the description if you want to see it. If you like it remember to subscribe

[@chrisy.7685]

I know the struggles of the Illusion Apprentice Magician prices. hopefully she gets reprinted soon. interesting build tho, wanted to test the Spellbook variant fr a while

[@Ace-yl9pb]

Love ur vids and please bro make a Galaxy, Photon deck!!

[@cyberknight8610]

I will after I get Cipher Blade

[@Ace-yl9pb]

CyberKnight ok ☺ thank you

[@lochishere7249]

CyberKnight Hey there! Really love the deck profile. Its very good for casual play! Just a thought but have you considered placing Hierophant of Prophecy into the Extra deck? Just a way to capitalize on those spellbook spells even more once they hit the grave, and could even be worth removing a copy of dark magic attack for a 3rd pot of duality. (: just something I've been play testing in my own deck, thought it might help.

[@dragonxtekkenx]

Could you please do a new blue eyes built + link monsters ?

[@anthonydaquet7934]

Link spider is pretty good if you have a dark magician, eternal soul and dark magical circle on board. If its your turn and eternal soul is active but you cant use its effect you can tribute dark magician for link spider then use eternal soul to summon dark magician back and triggering circle.

[@CallMeTonyga]

Can Big Eye steal opponent Link? would it put it on your Normal Zones or steals that Link Zone if that Link in on the Link Zone already?

[@Mansuetum_Corde]

Cooked Karambwan It can take the link monster and it goes into a normal zone.

[@QS_27]

And what's the best competitor deck

[@bonecrusher1777]

I would recommend using Chocolate Magician Girl. I don't see why every DM deck list has Kycoo though. I get that his effect is great, but he has to do damage for it to activate. I think I'm just missing something. Could someone help clear it up? Good profile though!

[@juantavarez05]

I like how you run the same art of the DM as me.

[@AMFOS22]

Can we get a Blue eyes deck profile?

[@koolhitman1]

NERFANDNINJAGO321 he already made one

[@MrSMC787]

Spellbooks seem really interesting, atm i'm using a Gagaga engine with Dark Magician's as it allows for very easy XYZ play.

[@Pokechao]

Nice deck profile, but I would bring Illusion Magic down to 1, mainly because you're only going to use it once the entire duel, and its searchable by Rod

[@jbarnard2000]

Plz do a slyvan or madolche deck !

[@David315842]

Wise move Cyberknight, save your cash! ;)

[@inusan2198]

Why no magicians robe?

[@jrod7404]

Inu San never. That card is terrible.

[@hitman4DAcowboyz]

Inu San dark illusion magician does the same thing with a better rank for XYZs

[@amyhilling3094]

Rod is way better than robe

[@Shione_Starlight]

So glad I got Apprentice illusion magician when they dropped down to 40 a piece....got my playset for the price of one lol

[@loghorizon5477]

1:33 that one on the left I actually have the limited edition version of it.

[@zayxkzakazeta-reborn749]

Could you Please write down a list with all cards

[@dantedhunte]

I know this probably sound obscure but can you do a Dark magician girl deck?

[@joe88john]

Can't Secret Village of the Spellcasters screw you though? I dunno, whenever I run it, it always seems to back me up into a corner more often than not. I also appreciate you not going with $70 cards. The cheaper the deck the better. Great job, I've been looking forward to this ever since Legendary Decks 2. I would love to see a rokket deck using those gun dragon cards Revolver uses. I know that won't be out for quite a while but when it does, that would be cool.

[@hypershadicthehedgehog]

Cyberknight why don't you use Chocolate?

[@bruvaroni]

Shadic The Hedgehog it's too slow honestly. Normal summon is also too important

[@matseigel1622]

Rod does not search when he is special summoned, so useing him with navigation is acctually pretty useless. Btw u didn't mentioned navigation second effevt which is even better. And running desires in DM is pretty good cause u have tripple copies of ur win condition cards anyway and u can easy search out a lot of ur cards before activation desires :) no offense i like the spellbook engine (sry for my bad english)

[@kingkalamity2301]

I would honestly swap master of blades for heirophant of prophecy, Not much targeting going on in the meta, and it takes two of your dark magicians which you need in grave it keep the banish power up, and if you running spellbooks anyway might as well get a lvl 7 tornado dragon.

[@PinkyMinions]

No solemn cards?

[@frannyaf8702]

I love your decks I made two the pendulum and world chalice and mane this deck

[@taco2215]

I was watching this because I have most cards to make this deck and when I saw the extra deck i was shocked because I use most of them already

[@QuasarYGO]

Link Spider is a good card. Get a free Link Monster because you can bring DM back with eternal soul.

[@darkmagicianscousin5261]

+millejoe001 Yeah, but then you'd be leaving out what is basically a 1000 ATK vanilla that can't go to Defense Position...

[@glenjacobs9296]

Dark Magician's Cousin honestly i don't see the difference with leaving link spider in atk position and the lvl 3 searcher i forgot his name they have 600 atk differencw no big deal

[@darkmagicianscousin5261]

+Glen Jacobs First off, Magician's Rod has 1600 ATK. That's pretty decent for a Level 3. Secondly, Magician's Rod actually, you know, extends your plays. Besides, a common strategy is to search Illusion Magic (or get it via Circle, Duality, etc.), set it, tribute Rod next turn, then use the 2 Dark Magicians in your hand to start making plays with stuff like Navigation, Eternal Soul, & Circle.

[@glenjacobs9296]

Dark Magician's Cousin oh right i forgot about illusion magic but still the atk difference is not that big imo

[@darkmagicianscousin5261]

+Glen Jacobs That's not the point. It helps you make your plays and doesn't take up 1 slot in the 15 card extra deck.

[@notdoingmeth6579]

I dont understand. You can put the same card 3 times in your deck now ?

[@jrod7404]

dq. Corazón if they're not on the forbidden and limited list then yes.

[@roguespiral]

dq. Corazón it has always been that way

[@hitman4DAcowboyz]

dq. Corazón lol Limited cards you could have one of send my limited you can have two of The rest of the cards are unlimited meaning you could have three of them .... and of course to band means you can have none of them 😂😂

[@notdoingmeth6579]

Guess i went too deep into HS. :) i dont remember yugioh being like that. Thanks for your answers!

[@cheesebufer]

Some monsters like Magician of Dark Illusions has an effect that states "If this card is on the field or GY, its name becomes Dark Magician" Its name changes because of effect and that is why you can have 3 DM and 3 of Illusion

[@DirectorKW]

Could you make a Frightfur Deck Profile please?

[@TeamSavant]

CGN I will be working on one if you want to see it. Just comment on one of my videos what you want to see. Then sub and turn on your notifications so you can see it as soon as it comes out

[@000_DARK]

You could play 3x Gofu + 2x Allure of Darkness and take out 2x Pot of Duality + 3 other cards.

[@Pokechao]

_ ZORRO _ wouldnt recommend Gofu, its going to get hit by the banlist, Allure is good though

[@000_DARK]

That's another reason to play Gofu as long as it's at 3.

[@miguelnunezojeda3665]

Why use 3 eternals i see the point for one but not 3 because of the risk factors for it

[@austinmiller3302]

Blue-eyes do that as a deck profile cuz Blue-eyes is BEAST!!!!!!

[@Akira2805]

I'm not really sure that konami will ever reprint the Apprentice Illusion Maician. They still haven't reprinted the shonen jump version of Slifer The Sky Dragon. And he came out years ago. Sure hes not as expensive as he used to be when he first came out, but that version of slifer still remains a single printed card. Makes me think that will do the same with her. Just my opinion of course.

[@Pokechao]

Akira2805 she got reprinted in the OCG twice, and Slifer is one of the few cards that didnt get reprints, the vast majority of shonen jump promos did

[@Akira2805]

Pokechao. I see. Let me rephrase that, I don't think she'll ever get reprinted in the TCG. That and her price just doubled in the past couple days. I believe she's goes for $170 each now. She is no longer being printed.

[@Akira2805]

Pokechao. Check out megacapitalG's channel and look for his video about Apprentice illusion magician being the most expensive card in yugioh.

[@rfcoracini]

Makes a deck profile of the blue eyes!

[@TeamSavant]

RayCo I will be working on one if you want to see it. Just comment on one of my videos what you want to see. Then sub and turn on your notifications so you can see it as soon as it comes out

Red-eyes update?

[@cyberknight8610]

I will when the new support is out

[@IronSpiderman2099]

[@Mansuetum_Corde]

IronSpiderman2099 Yep, in the Legendary Duelists set (which has Joey on the pack) which comes out on Sept 8th and 9th.

[@IronSpiderman2099]

Mansuetum_corde cool thanks for the info, hopefully the support works well with what I currently have and is good

[@Victor-wt4de]

I play exactly the same dark magicians 😂

[@arianfallahrad6365]

Nice

[@ashley6535]

do a blue eyes deck profile

[@TeamSavant]

Ashley Huerta I will be working on one if you want to see it. Just comment on one of my videos what you want to see. Then sub and turn on your notifications so you can see it as soon as it comes out

[@TheKpa11]

You know do we ever find out who that other dark magician is by the way? The one in red with tan skin and white hair? I feel like he should have some card lore and be featured on more cards Heck do we have an explanation why the original Dark Magician has a green skin and blonde hair counterpart?

[@Mansuetum_Corde]

TheKpa11 the green skin + blonde hair DM is based on his artwork from both the opening of Yugioh Season 0 and the original manga. As for Arcana's magician, I believe it was based on the concept of a "evil villain" in contrast with Yugi's and also for fan service reasons.

[@eetzdun9613]

Yo i want to duel you with my blue eyes deck hahaha

[@SG553LB]

do red eyes please!

[@TeamSavant]

[@sonic_libra6822]

Bro... u have A LOT of preference cards that make this deck super weak and makes it take a while

[@streetfighter3652]

sorry meant extra deck

[@austinmiller3302]

Also pendulum magicians there good to

[@zachmontesano403]

Why even make not competitive deck profiles? Like no allure of darkness? No strikes? No mirror force?

[@zachmontesano403]

Why cuz u suck?

[@troygarcia281]

3 dark illusion???????

[@spyox2215]

Pls Update

[@LunaQueeniemon]

I hope you are not in the flooded area of Texas. (CyberKnight)

[@cyberknight8610]

+Lanceb666 don't worry I'm fine, I'm in north Texas.

[@robertstepaniak8968]

why not dark magician girl she gains 300 attack for each dark magician in the graveyard

[@ramlunaiii3024]

Robert Stepaniak She ain't worth it

[@roguespiral]

Robert Stepaniak its too op...

[@hitman4DAcowboyz]

Robert Stepaniak lol 2900 at the most not even worth it

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

KenDaHitman 3800 if both graveyards have 3 Dark Magicians, but I get your point, she isn't really useful in a typical Dark Magician Build, she is also bad in a Magician Girl deck. I hope Dark Magician Girl gets more support in the future to make her more viable.

[@QS_27]

Dude that play mat please

[@corporallawbreaker4163]

Apprentice is 70$ now... I can go 30 max it's unfair

[@cesargutierrez7545]

Actually $100 now

[@Zero_Wind]

[@bigfoot4392]

Where's apprentice

[@bigdaddyerased]

my friend traded me for dark magician and girl

[@miguelnunezojeda3665]

This is completely opposite from the dark magican deck that im building way different

[@remonontereu5807]

No dark magician girl? I question.

[@rez-1270]

I dont think you have played this deck because its awful. Spellbook engine is a wasted of slots in a DM deck i would not advice too use it!
