Bro this is definately something we would like to keep seeing and also the hobby needs. From a casual, collector or investor prospective you explain not only the lore but the scarcity, price and community input these cards have which make it easy to know what to buy. Videos on blue eyes, red eyes and even time wizard would be amazing as each fit a good description and story to be told. As always thank you and great video
The DDS slander is real! For those that do not know. DDS was printed in very low quantities due to the game having to be pre ordered. We are talking quantities similar to 1st ed LOB. While SDY has way more printings. It should definitely be lob>dds>sdy
Thank you Strictly! As many others are saying, this is an amazing idea for a series. I've always looked for comprehensive lists of rarities and alt artworks for certain cards, and you've done a fantastic job here (no surprise). Keep up the hard work. You're videos keep us old school collectors interested, while introducing newer collectors to some awesome cards. We all appreciate it!
Yes, please continue!!! Blue eyes and red eyes next please! Loved the video and it was exactly what I was looking for! Your channel is my favorite for Yugioh content and has helped get me back into collecting 🎉
Yes absolutely do more of these! This is interesting, informative and can absolutely be a helpful guide for anyone looking to collect very specific yugioh cards.
Great stuff, videos on these nostalgic cards/artwork will always get a watch from me and interesting to see some I wasn't aware of as a returning collector 👍
This collector’s guide series is awesome! I’d love to see more, please! Especially Blue-Eyes as I am a Blue-Eyes collector myself. Still trying I get a Pharaoh Rare Blue-Eyes. Haha.
Man this is such a cool video, while watching I was going through my collection of DM to see if I have the right ones. you should do all the monster that has more then 2 art work would be cool to watch.
Wow! Thanks for making this video! It's amazing. I would love to see Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician Girl, and Red Eyes Black Dragon guides as well.
Absolutely loved this! I'm a massive Dark Magician fan and collector and this gave me some insight as to what versions are more collectible. I would love to see vids like this for DMG, DMOC and the rest of the Dark Magician family and of course for Blue-Eyes
Saved this video to my favorites! Just made me fall in love with my Dark Magician collection again. I have a lot of the heavy hitters but I didn't realize how many reprint variants there were
As a Dark Magician collector this video speaks volume to me about my expensive collection. I only collect dark magician cards released in the tcg. I own playsets of almost every dark magician cards released in the tcg (even the expensive ones such as DDS, RP01, 1st edition SDY, both BPT, Both Jump promos, etc), and all are near mint to mint condition. Right now I’m looking for a playset of LOB 1st edition Dark Magician near mint copies
Thanks for the reply. I might consider making a video but right now I’m still looking for more dark magician related cards. I might consider doing a video once a get a good camera
I’m starting my first ever dark magician collected as an OG fan who’s been inspired by these types of videos. My only issue is whether I should only collect dark magician cards with or without a PSA grading? Would really love some input as I’m really keen on getting started!
@jafarali1766 well it really depends on your budget. If you really want look for very high end copies of dark magician such as DDS or 1st edition North American SDY prints are extremely popular in terms of collectibility. You’ll have to be very cautious of buying those prints because finding a near mint condition will be difficult to find. I don’t know what is your budget but they’re also other alternatives if you don’t want to spend too much money
Definitely think this is a series to keep, I mean the next two episodes write themselves blues and red eyes then you can ark out. I just went and bought like 5 dark magicians so I thank you 😂 great vid!
The JMPS-EN003 version of Dark Magician is actually the rarer version for the Kazuki Takahashi art work despite being a reprint. They were made in a smaller set than the JUMP version. It typically goes for more $ as well. I'd stay away from the JUMP version if possible between the two. This also applies to the JMPS version of the alternate art for Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which is a lot rarer than the JUMP version. JMPS was a very limited reprint of the JUMP cards, not as many copies were made. IMO they are the grail for the Kazuki Takahashi artwork cards because of how limited they were during production. Another interesting thing about that version of Dark Magician is that it is an alternate art for the white haired Arcana Dark Magician which most people don't realize.
I love how much detail you put into your videos when it comes to history and an experienced collector's perspective on value and collectability. It's crazy how just 1 ace monster can have so much collectability behind it. I would love to see a red eyes one because it's by far my favorite monster in ygo. Keep up the amazing videos!
My friend is a sneakerhead and got the Yugi x Adidas collab and ended up selling me the card for like 20 bucks because he knows I collect. In person, that card is absolutely gorgeous. Konami really knocked it out of the park with this one. Great video like always SS, keep up the great work
Lovely video Omar, I'd love to see a similar break-down on collectable cards from OCG sets, or on promos overall in order of release year - could be a nice introduction series.
This is a great series if you can continue! Yugioh can be tough to navigate as a newer/returning collector given all the same cards being printed with different rarities over the years
Definitely a great type of video to the channel man, something like once a month would be perfect as it's a lot of information to take in. Maybe even 1 every 2 months. I would say you should do your favourite card of all time though, MAGICIAN OF BLACK CHAOS.
Bro!! This is a great idea of a series! I’d love to see you cover blue eyes and what you think is worth prioritizing or not! Especially for aspiring collectors like myself
This is going to be a series. I remember how daunting it was making my list and going through every rendition of the greats on the Wikis. Both EG and JPN as well as the other languages sometimes.
would love to see you expand on this series for other cards in the future. One future video could be about the cards drawn and signed by Kazuki Takahashi. I feel like there's enough cards in that category to dedicate a full episode about.
I litterally started collecting all the blue eyes after watching your Blue-eyes version of this video and now I am about to start one for DM. Please make more videos like this
I like this video. I collect all dark magicians as well, the only ones I don't own are the DT previews and the OCG ones. After seeing that OCG ultimate rare, mabe I need to open up my horizons to collecting OCG cards, cuz that us beautiful.
I agree, why does Konami love the tablet artwork of blue eyes and dark magician so much. Even the new Starlight I mean quarter century rare on those won’t make me like them And imo this is a great series, would love to see more cards. I think it’s great for people who are just getting back into it or just starting collecting
Here's the document with all of the variants: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sq79lEDD7aVyPMnVfz8lYxs4XD1khZRc_CNEVTGP1T4/edit?usp=sharing Can use this to shop for them & support the channel: (Affiliate) ebay.us/wv7Ux4 If you're looking to order 25th anniversary product make sure you check out Hobbiesville.com they have the cheapest prices, 0 taxes and you get 5% off if you use Strictly5. Cheapest place to get them. I also have some of the dark magicians available at strictlysealed.com
please do more of this series. I loved the vid my boi 🔥 and when ya get a chance maybe do a red eyes black dragon video for this series. Its my favorite card of all time 🔥
I bought a Vol.1 Dark Magician from Japan last year and had to settle for one with a little playwear as the minters were hundreds of pounds to import. Mine looks perfect in a binder but it does have some scratches and surface issues when viewed raw. The PCY prismatic is one of my other favourites as the foiling looks so good and the card stock is fantastic. The Duel Power art is indeed excellent. I picked up a secret rare OCG copy for pretty cheap and highly recommend it 👍
Great series - please continue it! Do you plan to talk about other JUMP or JMPS - Promos like the God Cards and how the reprints hurt the value of some beautiful Kazuki Takahashi Artworks? That would be awesome, keep up the good work!
For Arkana’s Dark Magician, the Yugi’s Legendary Decks box (YGLD-ENB02) wasn’t the only time that this variant was released. According to the Yu-Gi Neuron app, it was also released Dark Beginning 1 as an Ultra Rare (2004/10/12, DB1-EN102) and Dark Legends as a Rare (2008/11/21, DGL1-EN004). For rereleases outside of those three, this variant was included in the Speed Duel: Streets of Battle City (2023/08/24) in both a common and Secret Rare (Common is SBC1-EN10 and Secret Rare is SBC1-EN01).
You should do red-eyes black dragon next. Would love to see it
Red eyes was always my Favorite so I really hope he does
Yes
I agree keep making these. These are sick
X3
Oh man I agree
Bro this is definately something we would like to keep seeing and also the hobby needs. From a casual, collector or investor prospective you explain not only the lore but the scarcity, price and community input these cards have which make it easy to know what to buy. Videos on blue eyes, red eyes and even time wizard would be amazing as each fit a good description and story to be told. As always thank you and great video
Time Wizard is my Nigga

yea, i love me some dds
Actually think it's easily one of the best looking dark magicians out there...def top 3 for me
Thank you Strictly! As many others are saying, this is an amazing idea for a series.

Really nice video man. I hope this pops off and you make more of these.
Absolutely well done video! Was quite a fun watch; definitely a series worth continuing
As a Poke Collector… you’re the reason I started my high end Yugi binder for all the nostalgia! Love your videos! They’re all so educational
Dark Magician is why I got into Yugioh and why I stay collecting. Love this vid!
Yes, please continue!!! Blue eyes and red eyes next please! Loved the video and it was exactly what I was looking for! Your channel is my favorite for Yugioh content and has helped get me back into collecting 🎉
I love the BPT-001 so badass. Also just picked up a Adidas DM!
Love this video!! Gotta do more of these!!
Yes absolutely do more of these! This is interesting, informative and can absolutely be a helpful guide for anyone looking to collect very specific yugioh cards.
Great video! It's awesome to have this information all In one place
I'd love to see more of these guide videos. Perfect balance of informative and entertaining.
Great stuff, videos on these nostalgic cards/artwork will always get a watch from me and interesting to see some I wasn't aware of as a returning collector 👍
Great series idea. Please do more with more iconic cards
This collector’s guide series is awesome! I’d love to see more, please! Especially Blue-Eyes as I am a Blue-Eyes collector myself. Still trying I get a Pharaoh Rare Blue-Eyes. Haha.
This is an awesome style of video, would love to see more of this series!
I love this type of series bro, I learn so much about collecting from you. More OCG lore!
Man this is such a cool video, while watching I was going through my collection of DM to see if I have the right ones.

Quality work, my man! Love the comprehensive view. Would definitely love to see more of these.

YES! please do more vid like this. very useful for new collectors. dark magician girl and dark paladin would be awesome.
I love how much detail you put into your videos when it comes to history and an experienced collector's perspective on value and collectability. It's crazy how just 1 ace monster can have so much collectability behind it. I would love to see a red eyes one because it's by far my favorite monster in ygo. Keep up the amazing videos!
Bro i love how you don't give any Fluff
Love these so much! Just what i needed as im starting my collection and i dont know where to start, super helpful!
I've a binder dedicated to every dark magician ever printed in the tcg, gon be expensive
Thank you. I'm a huge Dark Magician fan and collector. Really appreciate this.
My friend is a sneakerhead and got the Yugi x Adidas collab and ended up selling me the card for like 20 bucks because he knows I collect. In person, that card is absolutely gorgeous. Konami really knocked it out of the park with this one. Great video like always SS, keep up the great work
Lovely video Omar, I'd love to see a similar break-down on collectable cards from OCG sets, or on promos overall in order of release year - could be a nice introduction series.
Awesome vid. That ulti dm in the ocg looks sick
Definitely keep doing this series! Love it!
This is a great series if you can continue! Yugioh can be tough to navigate as a newer/returning collector given all the same cards being printed with different rarities over the years
Would love this to become a series. Keep up the work Omar
We still craving that promo binder update video :D
Definitely a great type of video to the channel man, something like once a month would be perfect as it's a lot of information to take in. Maybe even 1 every 2 months. I would say you should do your favourite card of all time though, MAGICIAN OF BLACK CHAOS.
Bro!! This is a great idea of a series! I’d love to see you cover blue eyes and what you think is worth prioritizing or not! Especially for aspiring collectors like myself
Please continue the series this is amazing!
Definitely keep this series going. What happened to the video where you were going to explain “EN” ?
Great Video, please Bring us more awesome Content Like this. My Dark Magician Collection will definetly grow after watching this Video
Love this series! Extremely entertaining and good content for collector. Would be nice for other big cards too
This is an incredible concept that I would LOVE To see made into a series.
Would love to see more of this series!
This is going to be a series. I remember how daunting it was making my list and going through every rendition of the greats on the Wikis. Both EG and JPN as well as the other languages sometimes.
such high quality vids man its wild...please continue making these its absolute heat
This was an absolutely fantastic video as always Omar!
would love to see you expand on this series for other cards in the future. One future video could be about the cards drawn and signed by Kazuki Takahashi. I feel like there's enough cards in that category to dedicate a full episode about.
Top tier content as always. Loving everything you’re releasing man
Perfect time for this video. Just got back into collecting and this is just what I was looking for.
As someone who wants every DM in every artwork and rarity for each, this video is GOATED. Thank you!
Would love to see this become a series. Blue Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician Girl, Red Eyes Black Dragon, maybe?
I litterally started collecting all the blue eyes after watching your Blue-eyes version of this video and now I am about to start one for DM. Please make more videos like this
I'd love to see more of this, specially a DMG one.
Bro this would come handy a year ago when I got back into Yugioh.
I'm down to continue this series, I really liked this video
Thanks for the video, I was looking for the missing artworks for my collection
I like this video. I collect all dark magicians as well, the only ones I don't own are the DT previews and the OCG ones. After seeing that OCG ultimate rare, mabe I need to open up my horizons to collecting OCG cards, cuz that us beautiful.
I agree, why does Konami love the tablet artwork of blue eyes and dark magician so much. Even the new Starlight I mean quarter century rare on those won’t make me like them
And imo this is a great series, would love to see more cards. I think it’s great for people who are just getting back into it or just starting collecting
I really like the ghost rare of this card, extreamly expensive of course but i don’t why many people don’t like the ghost ones… gorgeous in my opinion
love the video, do blue eyes or dark magician girl next!
Nice video, so much input for new collectors, keep do more videos like this.
Amazing Video, this should be a series for Blue Eyes, Dark Magician Girl
This is a cool video idea. Thanks for this!
Yoo this vid was crazy, can you make one about Blue Eyes and Red Eyes too please? I'd 100% watch both! Love you man!! Edit: And DMG too ofc

Omar, I think you missed 1 Dark Magician Mega Tin art, there was an Ultra Rare version released in Yugi’s Collector Box
Dark magician DOR-S002 (Spanish) can be a cheaper alternative for DDS 😊
you deserve a million subs bro, keep grinding!!
I loved it, you should do more
Dark magician > BEWD any day for me. It's my favourite card. I agree with BPT being stunning. The reverse variant is even more insane.
1st 10 seconds of your video sums up my cardboard addiction
Its Slifer for me. Would love a version for him.
What an epic video man. Thank you creating this I'd love to see a Red-Eyes video on this same topic.
please continue this series! Would love to see one on red-eyes!
please do more of this series. I loved the vid my boi 🔥 and when ya get a chance maybe do a red eyes black dragon video for this series. Its my favorite card of all time 🔥
Unreal video man! Love this series
We need a blue eyes and red eyes video like this!
Great video! Just to note there's an Ultra Rare Dark Magician YUCB-EN001 with same artwork to CT14-EN001 if you cant afford the Secret Rare
can't wait for the blue eyes one
Thank you for this video! I’m getting back into collecting YuGiOh cards myself, more so for the artwork, lol. This video is super informative!
I bought a Vol.1 Dark Magician from Japan last year and had to settle for one with a little playwear as the minters were hundreds of pounds to import. Mine looks perfect in a binder but it does have some scratches and surface issues when viewed raw.
The PCY prismatic is one of my other favourites as the foiling looks so good and the card stock is fantastic.
The Duel Power art is indeed excellent. I picked up a secret rare OCG copy for pretty cheap and highly recommend it 👍
Great series - please continue it! Do you plan to talk about other JUMP or JMPS - Promos like the God Cards and how the reprints hurt the value of some beautiful Kazuki Takahashi Artworks? That would be awesome, keep up the good work!
Cool idea for a series, nice video!!
Yes please continue this was great
Hi, this kind of video is awesome.
Don’t hesitate to share more 😊
This vid just helped me a lot! Thanks Omar 🙏 Blue Eyes next?👀🙏
You should cover all the iconic monsters with this series. Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, DMG and others. Keep it up Omar. 👍
I also would love to see a Toon Dark Magician which I was also released in Toon set together with dark Magician girl.
Would love to see this keep going. My preference is Blue Eyes but i would be interested to see Red Eyes also

Not true, the only releases are the YGLD ultra and the Speed Duel secret. Thanks for viewing the videos.
This video was very informative Man! Thank you for the information. Keep up the good work God bless!
Awesome video, more like this please. and how do you animate de card images?
