Honestly, i wish they would just do an overhaul on the whole DM archetype and start over. I wouldn't mind seeing something like they did for Yugi and Solomon, where they gave them archetypes centered around items tied to them (gold sarc for Yugi and millennium key for Solomon). They should just do a Pharoah themed deck with a card based off of the Millennium Puzzle that centers around DM and retrain a bunch of monsters like Celtic Guardian, the magnet warriors and Gaia, not only as support for the archetype but also to have more fusion materials available. Hell, throw in a beaver warrior retrain, i don't care, but make a cohesive strategy out it, cause DM really needs it
Right before they announced Gold Sarc archetype I had imagined making a Magicians’ Souls version of each of Yugi/Atem’s iconic monsters Not that they all did the same thing, but they’d be the souls of those monsters and treated as Dark Spellcasters as well as their original Attribute/Types And then Gold Sarc was announced and I was like “oh damn this is kinda what I had in mind”
In all seriousness though, it feels like Horus might be my pairing going forward. King's Sarc and Imsety can discard bricks. The Zombie Vampire can help set up the GY with DM or DMG. You can even stack with Soul Servant to guarantee AND summon DM or DMG. I've been running Magicians' Combination and finding it easier to get set up using this same method. Find myself ending on at least 1 of Combination, Hope Harbinger, Eternal Soul and/or a Little Knight play. Feels like Souls + Rod now is just an IP > SP play now til we get a more desirable link 1 or 2.
This is a good vid LOZA! I reckon for future podcasts, you should get not only other DM RUclipsrs onto the podcast to discuss stuff, but also some other members of the DM community. Could be quite fun having different voices/faces on the podcast and talking about everything DM. Keen to see more!
I very much enjoyed this discussion, I am looking forward to seeing more of this type of video from you! it’s good to get it all out for all of us no matter what kind of DM build people are playing
DM just needs some actual payoff like a counter trap and a good link 1 for magician's rod. A dedicated deck fusion would be fantastic as well. Edit: I feel like there should just be more spellcaster support in general. A pile deck of spellcaster similar to dinos, cyberse, dragons etc.
Thanks for sharing , I agree DM deck need to be updated and I welcome everything that come , hope blue eye get support in any kind like the new Dm cards , to have clear plan is very good
I wonder if making eye of timaeus searchable would be enough to make a significant change in the more pure versions of DM? Is there a way to test that out and see it's potential?
To be less doom and gloom, I think things are looking up for DM, for both casual and competitive. After seeing what Dodo was doing with gold sarc, we can still make use of a lot of the same cards we did before with Chaos popping Ebon, except we can now actually establish a full board turn 1 - hell it even opens up stuff we couldn’t do before on turn 1 like rank 7 xyz’s. Dragon Magia also got revealed not too long ago and while that’s probably not gonna make an impact in the TCG since Dragoon is still there, it’ll be nice to finally have a DM related boss monster in formats like master duel, since Dragoon fell into a bad crowd just as Linkuriboh has and Chaos Max is locked in copyright limbo. Also seems gold sarc isn’t limited to just little Yugi, since in that duel he didn’t even play DM - the Pharaoh did. So eventually when gold sarc gets more cards who knows what we’ll see a playable DMG? A Gaia that supports fusions/rituals? Or even a Buster Blader that opens us up gold sarc to play BB cards like Ebon does for Sarc and DM cards. Even if gold sarc doesn’t work out, cards like DM, Blue-Eyes and other protag aces will always see support as they’re the faces of the game... eventually.
Shining Sarc is definitely an attempt at making a modern DM while allowing the Atem version of the deck to exist for cosplayers at this point, IMO. Using the “that mentions” phrase to tie an archetype together allows for a true “Yugi” deck by combining classic monsters, not just DM cards, into an archetype is what Konami should have done from the start. I think from a design and aesthetic perspective this will allow for more creative card effects instead of designing an entire deck around using a 25 year old vanilla as an engine to do ANYTHING. Keep the vanilla in the binder for nostalgia and let’s move forward with a modern archetype and the DM retrain. As long as we can pump out some of the fusions like you said, then will it really matter in the end? Hopeful Konami won’t let this archetype fall by the wayside after a year.
Hey Loza, you ever hear about Domain format? Looks really interesting. Basically just Commander but for Yu-Gi-Oh (60 card deck, 1 of every card), with a couple extra balancing rules. I'd be curious to see you try to make a DM deck for that
Honestly an errata or new version of Eternal Soul that doesn't nuke the board on death will do more for "pure" DM than any other change. A DM fusion spell that uses material from deck is the next best thing. Anything past that is gravy.
Part of me hopes (futile, i know...) we will see a King sarcophagus / Walls of the imperial tomb situation, where we get a field spell that simply calls itself "Shining Sarcophagus" while on the field. And you know... maybe let's us search a card too but hey... one pipe dream at a time, ey?
Hey man, I am earing this from Portugal and went to a couple locals with a Dm deck...and I was away from the game prior to all the extra deck monster types... And the point is, you are completly right we start with pure Dm because in theory seems nice and can cause damage and sustain, but in the end we shift to other engines or archtypes and just use Dm, IoC and MS and it is fine, in branded you can discard retribution and Branded fusion of magicians souls effect to draw and then banish retribution to get back the Branded fusion which is very good! Propz from Portugal ma man is international, #MakeDmGreatAgain 🙌
Same here played dark magician pure on masterduel I was dedicated. Put in a few bystial here and there cause I needed more boom. Then deck became pure branded bystial cause it was better to add those cards 😅
@@Darkmagecurt same thing happy to me. Just played pure branded after awhile but then got bored. So went back to pure DM - 60 card deck anime style with sooo many options
@@LOZA-DM Let’s somehow figure out a video with MrBeast where the best DM yugitubers (I’m not the best, but my idea) are a part of one of his challenges 🤔🧙🏽♂️🪄
DM main problems: -Extremely Slow -Dragon Knight and eternal soul don't touch the field at the same time (NO mutual protection) -DM Girl always in hand (Really bricky -Need a lot of resources to reach just 1 fusion -Eternal soul clears own board when it leaves the field HOw to fix it? 1 errata for eternal soul (or new version of it) and 3 new cards: 1st card: Spellcaster Dark link-1. 1 monster that lists dark magician or dark magician girl. If this card is link summoned, you can draw cards equal to the number of monsters that list Dark magician or dark magician girl in your field or GY, then return the same number of cards you draw -1 to the deck. If this card leaves the field during your opponents turn, you can special summon one DM, DM girl or Palladium monster from your deck, hand, GY or that is banished. You can only use each effect of this cards name once per turn.
2nd card: Name: Dark Magic Fusion. Effect: Fusion summon 1 Fusion monster that mentions Dark Magician or Dark magician Girl as material from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand, Deck, or field as Fusion Material, and if you do, place face-up 1 continuos spell/trap card that mentions Dark Magician or Dark magician Girl . You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except Spellcaster, Dragon, or Warrior monsters, the turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 Dark Magic Fusion once per turn. The DM Fusion potential relies on that it could summon the dragon knight and place eternal soul in one unique resolution, protecting the entire deck from the very beginnig. Also, you can actually use the others DM fusions and not just Dragoon or Dragon Knight. Oh! and using the continious trap that hegates would be viable. 3rd card: Warrior light link-2. 2 monsters, including 1 that lists DM or DM girl. (Quick Effect): You can fusion summon 1 monster that lists DM or DM girl using materials from your hand and/or any side of the field. You can only use this cards name effect once per turn. This sort of super poly / unchained link-2 effect would make the DM deck really scary, depending on the matchup.
I love OG DM, I've legit been playing for 20 years. Thought, back then we didnt lose to MST we lost to CED Yata-lock like everyone else. I was recently playing DM Snake-Eye in MD and it was pretty fun, DM basically facilitated a Draw Engine for the most part, but it was fun to Pop down the Ultimate Wizard of Out ranked by Cosmo Queen and who knows how many other spellcasters. I look forward to Shining Sarc archtype, but I wish they would have done a true DM retrain instead of just shoving it into a new deck.
If we had an in archtype fusion link it could avoid the overall abuse that came with verte anaconda in other decks either that or that searchable spell card
I brefare link to a combo or maybe to search for Eye of Timmaius . Or we can get actual spell to combo. I guess the deck is really good, but we always run out of gas.
Dark Magician obviously needs a new fusion spell that should be similar to Earthbound Fusion or Branded Fusion. Side note: I'm enjoying playing Dark Magician with Tearlaments in Master Duel.
I stopped playing Master Duel when Tearlaments came out because while it was fun beating pure Branded with Branded DM, I couldn’t stand dealing with that tier 0 powercreep bullshit while Dragoon was still banned The new Yugi archetype is cool but it seems to be more of its own thing. That being said it shows how they can print literally anything if they want to, like they tied all of those Yugi cards to Shining Sarc rather than trying to modernize the existing archetypes/strategies involving these cards (silent/level monsters, gadgets, gandora, archfiends, dm) So while they could hypothetically make some new broken DM support for a pure DM Deck, I think that with the way new cards seem to be going, Illusion/Spellcasters will start becoming a thing, just like the Tri-Brigade typing, insect/plants/reptiles, level 1 fire, level 2s, etc. So DM would be an engine but it would be more legit, just like how Spright made a bunch of mid decks like Fur Hire and Melffy competitive
Magician girls retrain could be something we need 5 Spellcasters Different attributes Searches something, special summon, and retrieve Everything should be Quick-play And maybe they can fusion like the Tearlament monsters And that brings us to new magician girls fusion monsters that kan help us with or end board
I was hoping for a better retrain for dark magician that could special summon itself from hand, deck and maybe GY as that would help a lot but this retrain is still good/okay wherever side you fall on for that I think its ok and I agree we need a retrain of dark magician girl.
@@LOZA-DM yeah it's an Idea I've had for long time since I got back yugioh in 2016-17 and build dm and many other decks but DM is like my favorite deck and just a few support cards away from being meta but it needs links to round itself out as you said and no more cards like mana or Mahad and Chronicle Magician that don't really do anything but be link materials or boost atk or something that doesn't change the game state.
Bro we need a better fusion spell card and I think gold sarc DM is making DM better plus I believe it making us to play Two gold sarc DM and one DM will be the way or this could be a good way to use Dark Magician girl to the fullest I can’t for these cards to come out.
Hearing u talk about DM better going second I kinda feel that sometimes breaking opp board they have 1 or 2 cards and u can set up a circle banish or mirrorjade with verte in MD is enough. Of course snake eyes has too much gas for this.
Konami wont get my time let alone money until Dark Magician is givin the respect it deserves. Not nostalgia bait cash grabs that disappear a day after being announced.
The unfortunate truth is that Dark Magician as a deck is nothing but a small draw and turbo Dragoon engine, with far two many Garnets and too low a power ceiling to ever be viable with it's current support. Magician Soul's is better in competitive decks, and Soul Servant requires Garnets that not only you need to avoid drawing but need to be set up in grave to be useful as anything more than a neg 1. The deck needs either a complete overhaul (which is what it feels like Konami tried to do with Gold Sarc) or 7 or more really specific to the arctype cards that have multiple effects that are good in a vacuum and synergise even better to have a prayer of being competitive. Otherwise we're just playing a small Dragoon engine in a better deck. I cried on the inside when I saw the Dark Magician structure deck because it basically told us that Dark Magician would never get anywhere near the support it needs to be a tier 1 deck.
Anche io mi chiamo Lorenzo.. assurdo. Sono stato uno dei primi in passato a portare video del mago nero.. la pagina si chiama millennium force e portavo duelli con animazioni.. per farti capire che sono da sempre un fanatico del mago nero.. lo gioco tutt' ora ai tornei senza però riuscire ad andare oltre la top 16 ai regionali.. concordo in pieno con quello che hai detto, su tutto. Spero che la konami faccia uscire supporti decenti.. ora l unica strada mi sa che é diventata sarcofago mago nero.. un saluto dall'italia amico mio! Ti seguo sempre
@@lorenzodra3357 non posso crederci... Ho adorato i tuoi video, li ho tutt'ora in una playlist risalente a più di 4 anni fa. Spero che tornerai a caricarne degli altri, le animazioni erano veramente stupende.
Unfortunately, Konami has completely abandoned this archetype, giving it fusion monsters that cannot be easily summoned due to the fusion materials required. Generic cards mixed with Blue-Eyes that do not follow the gameplay dynamics of the Dark Magician archetype, and therefore are USELESS. The Palladium supports have been set aside, discarded, and forgotten. The rituals are completely useless and difficult to use, except for Illusion of Chaos, obviously. Then? What else is there, you ask? Let's talk about our favorite Waifu! Dark Magician Girl, the beautiful Dark Magician Girl... It's been 25 years now that I've been wondering what the hell she's good for. Kindly help me make Konami understand that they need to stop messing around, put in some effort for 2-3 days, and churn out 10/15 cards for the Dark Magician archetype starting with a fusion spell card that sends monsters from the field, hand, or, if you control a Dark Magician or a card that mentions him, you can also summon by sending monsters from the deck to the graveyard. (Like "Ancient Gear Fusion")
Is it just me, or does the Shining Sarc cards feel very similar to the "new" Horus stuff, but worse? King's Sharc is pretty much better than Shining Sarc in almost every way. Their monsters also have better effects and they even got a proper field spell. What's up with Konami refusing to give DM a good Field Spell? Being a DM fan is so depressing because they simply refuse to give proper support to a fan favorite archetype. We've been stuck with no improvements, since the release of IoC. Sorry about my small rant, but I've been frustrated at Konami for multiple reasons 😂
Been playing DMG deck since 2009 and I gotta say they refuse to make this deck good at all I’ll stick with my current build….tired of this half baked support😢
NEW CARDS I WANT: Dark Alternative Magician: Level 7 Dark Spellcaster/Effect 2500ATK 2100DEF. This cards name becomes Dark Magician while on the field. Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by revealing "Dark Magician" or a card that lists "Dark Magician" in its texts in your hand other than this card. When this card is Special Summoned: You can add a Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand, that mentions "Dark Magician". During your opponent's turn (Quick Effect): You can discard Spell/Trap: Special Summon "Dark Magician" from your Deck. During your opponent's turn, if you activate a Spell/Trap Card or effect while this card is in your GY (except during the Damage Step): You can can Special Summon this card, but banish it it when it leaves the field. You can only use each effect of "Dark Alternative Magician" once per turn. Palladium Oracle Link: Light Spellcaster/Link/Effect ATK 0 Link -1. 1 Level 4 or lower spellcaster monster or a "Palladium" monster. You can use a "Palladium" monster from your hand to Link Summon this card. When this card is Special Summoned: Search your deck for a "Palladium" monster or a Spell/Trap that has "Palladium" in its text and add it to your hand. When a Spellcaster you control is the target for an attack you can Special Summon a "Palladium" monster to a zone this card points to from your hand, deck or GY, if you do, the attacking monster must now attack that Special Summoned monster. You can only use each effect once per turn. Idea of alt dm is to just combine rod and robe into one card which now rod plus alt dm allows you to grab circle and salvation/eternal soul in 1 turn super easy. Idea of the palladium link is to make it so you, for example, normal summon rod to grab whatever then link to this to then grab soul servant which now is a free draw 1 cause this card is a palladium card so now you can send soul servant to top deck whatever then banish soul servant to draw that top deck. List of what erratas I want out of Konami: -let eye of timmy be searchable -let nav use its 2nd effect on the turn it was in the gy -let rod activate on special summon -let salvation summon from hand and activate eternal on set -dark burning magic can use dm/dmg with non original names (this ties in with the magicians errata I want) -curtain doesn't lock summons -let eternal search for spells and summon dm same turn. Also it should be able to search any card that lists dm in its text. -timmy the united dragon summon by just revealing a dm/dm text card in hand or summon if you control a dm on the field -circle can grab monsters with dm in text -palladium is just if added to hand special summon it which would let ioc search and summon it for free, still would not be that great but would be useable instead of complete garbage -let chronicle magician special summon itself if you control a dm or blue eyes and add attack/def this way -ebon illusion can summon from gy so send a material then summon that material (if you used dm for it obviously) -magicians souls should be able to use both effects each turn -ioc should be able to grab any chaos ritual monster or just chaos ritual spellcaster so blue eyes cant use it -the dark magicians should count as both dm and dmg while on the field or gy (combo I want set soul servant flip on opponents turn put dark burning magic on top draw with the magicians effect set dark burning magic and now you have a board wipe card, would be very cool and neat) -destined rivals should just be skill drain for dm/blue eyes. So a continuous trap that negates monsters while dm/blue eyes is on the field. -bond between teacher and student should also be able to summon dm if you control dmg -dark magic inheritance should be banish 1 spell/trap and not banish 2 spells. Also should be useable more than once per turn. -dark magician of chaos should be errata'd back to how it was to just grab a spell on summon -magicians combination should also destroy 1 card if it is face down -magician of chaos should summon a ritual from the gy as well as hand ignoring its summoning conditions -chronicle sorceress should be able to just send a dm/blue eyes card just on its summon -magi kuriboh should also be protection for your dm cards or literally anything else cause holy moly that card is so bad -dm the magical knight of dragons should have the effect "Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects during the Battle Phase" but even then literally unusable card cause you either summon dragon knight or dragoon. Also it should summon a card that lists "Gaia the Dragon Champion" in its text, not just Gaia the Dragon Champion only. -Magician of dark illusion should special summon on your turn as well as your opponent’s. Also the 2nd effect shouldn’t require it to be on the field to resolve.
Atem gave DM to Yugi which is the ebon version of DM (that Kazuki drawn himself that was used in DSOD). Ebon Sorcerer is from DSOD movie. The other cards are from the manga & anime.
Ebon Sorcerer is NOT from the DSOD movie. Stop pulling stuff out of your ass. Everything in the Shining Sarcophagus series of cards references ONLY the original anime series. Check your facts instead of spitting random crap
@jobejacobs62 it isn't. Adding Ebon Sorcerer to its name is just for gameplay purposes to make a DM version that ties in with the Shining Sarc archetype. The entire archetype is based on the ceremonial battle at the end of the manga/anime, which includes Dark Magician and takes place way before DSOD. The only reason they have similar artwork is cause both are inspired by Kazuki Takahashi's artwork of DM, which was printed as a Shonen Jump promo back in 2008, almost 8 years before DSOD even released. You can literally look up all of this rather than just making up your own canon to validate your arguments
Honestly how i play DM is spam bodies on field, concentrate on extra deck second and then eternity soul loop banish 3rd. Ive spent lots of money and been deck testing DM on master duel for 2 years now. DM should focus on the eternity banish one loops. Make it possible to do two banish per turn. Give more protection to DM and all its searches, then give it more competitive searcher cards. Make 2 viable extra deck DM monsters. One link one fusion and maybe one XYZ. Then last but not least, DM needs ability to draw more. Fix these issues and we can talk. Again this is me talking master duel. I cant get DM past diamond rank and never will when every modern deck just does too much
Honestly, i wish they would just do an overhaul on the whole DM archetype and start over. I wouldn't mind seeing something like they did for Yugi and Solomon, where they gave them archetypes centered around items tied to them (gold sarc for Yugi and millennium key for Solomon). They should just do a Pharoah themed deck with a card based off of the Millennium Puzzle that centers around DM and retrain a bunch of monsters like Celtic Guardian, the magnet warriors and Gaia, not only as support for the archetype but also to have more fusion materials available. Hell, throw in a beaver warrior retrain, i don't care, but make a cohesive strategy out it, cause DM really needs it
Very well needed for today's game. I'd keep eternal soul tho lol
Right before they announced Gold Sarc archetype I had imagined making a Magicians’ Souls version of each of Yugi/Atem’s iconic monsters
Not that they all did the same thing, but they’d be the souls of those monsters and treated as Dark Spellcasters as well as their original Attribute/Types
And then Gold Sarc was announced and I was like “oh damn this is kinda what I had in mind”
Bro that would be amazing to be honest, see if only konami would LISTEN to the fans or community 🤦🏻♂️
I love this! Great discussion, can’t wait for the next one.

"Where is the Dark Magician Deck going?"
In the bin. Next episode.

You can even stack with Soul Servant to guarantee AND summon DM or DMG. I've been running Magicians' Combination and finding it easier to get set up using this same method.

@@LOZA-DM Let’s somehow figure out a video with MrBeast where the best DM yugitubers (I’m not the best, but my idea) are a part of one of his challenges 🤔🧙🏽♂️🪄
Great Vid King!!!
Appreciate it
DM main problems:
-Extremely Slow
-Dragon Knight and eternal soul don't touch the field at the same time (NO mutual protection)
-DM Girl always in hand (Really bricky
-Need a lot of resources to reach just 1 fusion
-Eternal soul clears own board when it leaves the field
HOw to fix it? 1 errata for eternal soul (or new version of it) and 3 new cards:
1st card:
Spellcaster Dark link-1. 1 monster that lists dark magician or dark magician girl. If this card is link summoned, you can draw cards equal to the number of monsters that list Dark magician or dark magician girl in your field or GY, then return the same number of cards you draw -1 to the deck. If this card leaves the field during your opponents turn, you can special summon one DM, DM girl or Palladium monster from your deck, hand, GY or that is banished. You can only use each effect of this cards name once per turn.
2nd card:
Name: Dark Magic Fusion.
Effect: Fusion summon 1 Fusion monster that mentions Dark Magician or Dark magician Girl as material from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand, Deck, or field as Fusion Material, and if you do, place face-up 1 continuos spell/trap card that mentions Dark Magician or Dark magician Girl . You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except Spellcaster, Dragon, or Warrior monsters, the turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 Dark Magic Fusion once per turn.
The DM Fusion potential relies on that it could summon the dragon knight and place eternal soul in one unique resolution, protecting the entire deck from the very beginnig. Also, you can actually use the others DM fusions and not just Dragoon or Dragon Knight. Oh! and using the continious trap that hegates would be viable.
3rd card:
Warrior light link-2. 2 monsters, including 1 that lists DM or DM girl. (Quick Effect): You can fusion summon 1 monster that lists DM or DM girl using materials from your hand and/or any side of the field. You can only use this cards name effect once per turn.
This sort of super poly / unchained link-2 effect would make the DM deck really scary, depending on the matchup.
We need to fuse from the deck let's be honest. That's where the game is at today
No.

Great podcast mate. Love the amount of views you are getting. Let's go!!
Reminds me, I need to do my grinding gears vids lol
Glad it's getting views! I wasn't expecting it to do too well so I am pretty chuffed 😊
Lmao "I don't give a shit" Loza just being Loza, never change brutha.
I can't remember when I say this and about what, but sounds about right LOL
It's crazy to me how KONAMI refuse to give DM, Red-Eyes, Blue-Eyes cards that fix the problem the deck's have.
Or they make em hella hard to summon
At least blue eyes won worlds. DM has not
Let me fix something you said. “We all want to play pure dark magician, but we all know… it sucks”
Can't wait for this to arrive in master duel
Very keen on the deck!
Dark Magician obviously needs a new fusion spell that should be similar to Earthbound Fusion or Branded Fusion.
Side note: I'm enjoying playing Dark Magician with Tearlaments in Master Duel.
Due to the delay, I'm waiting for something level soul servant
ill stick with my branded DM with chimera
I stopped playing Master Duel when Tearlaments came out because while it was fun beating pure Branded with Branded DM, I couldn’t stand dealing with that tier 0 powercreep bullshit while Dragoon was still banned
The new Yugi archetype is cool but it seems to be more of its own thing. That being said it shows how they can print literally anything if they want to, like they tied all of those Yugi cards to Shining Sarc rather than trying to modernize the existing archetypes/strategies involving these cards (silent/level monsters, gadgets, gandora, archfiends, dm)
So while they could hypothetically make some new broken DM support for a pure DM Deck, I think that with the way new cards seem to be going, Illusion/Spellcasters will start becoming a thing, just like the Tri-Brigade typing, insect/plants/reptiles, level 1 fire, level 2s, etc. So DM would be an engine but it would be more legit, just like how Spright made a bunch of mid decks like Fur Hire and Melffy competitive
Loza, I think you are making a great decision by playing Gold Sarc.
Keen for episode 69, keep the series going
Nice
Magician girls retrain could be something we need
5 Spellcasters
Different attributes
Searches something, special summon, and retrieve
Everything should be Quick-play
And maybe they can fusion like the Tearlament monsters
And that brings us to new magician girls fusion monsters that kan help us with or end board
I see Loza notification I tap on it and immediately get mogged by him. Thats fucked up.
Hahahaha mogged?
Linkuriboh in the Extra.
I feel I've been gut punched a 2nd time. Thanks Fireking.
Haha sorry I filmed this about 2 months ago!
I was hoping for a better retrain for dark magician that could special summon itself from hand, deck and maybe GY as that would help a lot but this retrain is still good/okay wherever side you fall on for that I think its ok and I agree we need a retrain of dark magician girl.
I would love that
@@LOZA-DM yeah it's an Idea I've had for long time since I got back yugioh in 2016-17 and build dm and many other decks but DM is like my favorite deck and just a few support cards away from being meta but it needs links to round itself out as you said and no more cards like mana or Mahad and Chronicle Magician that don't really do anything but be link materials or boost atk or something that doesn't change the game state.
DM just needs target mill cards to relieve the bricks which also puts Soul Servant online
I agree king
i dodged getting shouted out the dark magician roast video thank god
Next time 👀
Time to throw in:
3x Nemesis Corridor
2x Nemesis Flag
1x Thunder Dragon Colossus
Make protos and colossus and pass 😎
MST lol, demon card. We should all pack judgement of Anubis
Bro we need a better fusion spell card and I think gold sarc DM is making DM better plus I believe it making us to play Two gold sarc DM and one DM will be the way or this could be a good way to use Dark Magician girl to the fullest I can’t for these cards to come out.
So basically third rate deck remains a third rate deck?
what do you mean by there is no dark magician
he's literally in the middle of the screen the whole video
amazing video as always ❤
I'm the dark magician? 😱
I'm still coping for something this year. They also made the gold sarcophagus cards high rarity in the set which is scummy
I really wanna build it even though it's expensive 🙃
Hearing u talk about DM better going second I kinda feel that sometimes breaking opp board they have 1 or 2 cards and u can set up a circle banish or mirrorjade with verte in MD is enough. Of course snake eyes has too much gas for this.
Yea sometimes circle and souls gets you a lot of traction thanks to the circle banish and chaos angel
When Dragoon in MD
I will ask my Dad, who is Mr Konami
So silent magician is replacing dark magician Is that what's Konami hinting loza?
Konami wont get my time let alone money until Dark Magician is givin the respect it deserves.
Not nostalgia bait cash grabs that disappear a day after being announced.
Can’t be afraid to switch the strategy up. Otherwise you’ll stay stuck.
Thanks for your support Jmack
Dark Magician needs a proper 1-card Starter.
Rod is not enough.
Hard agree. Thanks for watching!
I wrote a large comment and it did not appear :(
Sometimes youtube auto blocks it because you said a swear word or used too many capitals 😂 try again!
@@LOZA-DM thnaks! YT was not accepting quoting. I wrote my comment as a new one :D
The unfortunate truth is that Dark Magician as a deck is nothing but a small draw and turbo Dragoon engine, with far two many Garnets and too low a power ceiling to ever be viable with it's current support. Magician Soul's is better in competitive decks, and Soul Servant requires Garnets that not only you need to avoid drawing but need to be set up in grave to be useful as anything more than a neg 1. The deck needs either a complete overhaul (which is what it feels like Konami tried to do with Gold Sarc) or 7 or more really specific to the arctype cards that have multiple effects that are good in a vacuum and synergise even better to have a prayer of being competitive. Otherwise we're just playing a small Dragoon engine in a better deck. I cried on the inside when I saw the Dark Magician structure deck because it basically told us that Dark Magician would never get anywhere near the support it needs to be a tier 1 deck.
Nowhere
Rough 😂
Linkuriboh? It got Ripped Bozo'ed 😢
Did I mention it in this video? (I made this 2 months ago)
8:13 I think so. The accent on 2x sometimes gets me.
Cosaaa?? Metà italiano? Ti amo ancora di più
Mi chiamo Lorenzo!
E tuu? Lorenzo bros!
Anche io mi chiamo Lorenzo.. assurdo. Sono stato uno dei primi in passato a portare video del mago nero.. la pagina si chiama millennium force e portavo duelli con animazioni.. per farti capire che sono da sempre un fanatico del mago nero.. lo gioco tutt' ora ai tornei senza però riuscire ad andare oltre la top 16 ai regionali.. concordo in pieno con quello che hai detto, su tutto. Spero che la konami faccia uscire supporti decenti.. ora l unica strada mi sa che é diventata sarcofago mago nero.. un saluto dall'italia amico mio! Ti seguo sempre
@@lorenzodra3357 non posso crederci... Ho adorato i tuoi video, li ho tutt'ora in una playlist risalente a più di 4 anni fa.
Spero che tornerai a caricarne degli altri, le animazioni erano veramente stupende.
In the bin

Unfortunately, Konami has completely abandoned this archetype, giving it fusion monsters that cannot be easily summoned due to the fusion materials required. Generic cards mixed with Blue-Eyes that do not follow the gameplay dynamics of the Dark Magician archetype, and therefore are USELESS. The Palladium supports have been set aside, discarded, and forgotten. The rituals are completely useless and difficult to use, except for Illusion of Chaos, obviously. Then? What else is there, you ask? Let's talk about our favorite Waifu! Dark Magician Girl, the beautiful Dark Magician Girl... It's been 25 years now that I've been wondering what the hell she's good for. Kindly help me make Konami understand that they need to stop messing around, put in some effort for 2-3 days, and churn out 10/15 cards for the Dark Magician archetype starting with a fusion spell card that sends monsters from the field, hand, or, if you control a Dark Magician or a card that mentions him, you can also summon by sending monsters from the deck to the graveyard. (Like "Ancient Gear Fusion")
Is it just me, or does the Shining Sarc cards feel very similar to the "new" Horus stuff, but worse? King's Sharc is pretty much better than Shining Sarc in almost every way. Their monsters also have better effects and they even got a proper field spell. What's up with Konami refusing to give DM a good Field Spell? Being a DM fan is so depressing because they simply refuse to give proper support to a fan favorite archetype. We've been stuck with no improvements, since the release of IoC. Sorry about my small rant, but I've been frustrated at Konami for multiple reasons 😂
Been playing DMG deck since 2009 and I gotta say they refuse to make this deck good at all I’ll stick with my current build….tired of this half baked support😢
I absolutely get the frustration!
I will have hope for the future!
konami doesn't care! :(
NEW CARDS I WANT:
Dark Alternative Magician: Level 7 Dark Spellcaster/Effect 2500ATK 2100DEF. This cards name becomes Dark Magician while on the field. Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by revealing "Dark Magician" or a card that lists "Dark Magician" in its texts in your hand other than this card. When this card is Special Summoned: You can add a Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand, that mentions "Dark Magician". During your opponent's turn (Quick Effect): You can discard Spell/Trap: Special Summon "Dark Magician" from your Deck. During your opponent's turn, if you activate a Spell/Trap Card or effect while this card is in your GY (except during the Damage Step): You can can Special Summon this card, but banish it it when it leaves the field. You can only use each effect of "Dark Alternative Magician" once per turn.
Palladium Oracle Link: Light Spellcaster/Link/Effect ATK 0 Link -1. 1 Level 4 or lower spellcaster monster or a "Palladium" monster. You can use a "Palladium" monster from your hand to Link Summon this card. When this card is Special Summoned: Search your deck for a "Palladium" monster or a Spell/Trap that has "Palladium" in its text and add it to your hand. When a Spellcaster you control is the target for an attack you can Special Summon a "Palladium" monster to a zone this card points to from your hand, deck or GY, if you do, the attacking monster must now attack that Special Summoned monster. You can only use each effect once per turn.
Idea of alt dm is to just combine rod and robe into one card which now rod plus alt dm allows you to grab circle and salvation/eternal soul in 1 turn super easy. Idea of the palladium link is to make it so you, for example, normal summon rod to grab whatever then link to this to then grab soul servant which now is a free draw 1 cause this card is a palladium card so now you can send soul servant to top deck whatever then banish soul servant to draw that top deck.
List of what erratas I want out of Konami:
-let eye of timmy be searchable
-let nav use its 2nd effect on the turn it was in the gy
-let rod activate on special summon
-let salvation summon from hand and activate eternal on set
-dark burning magic can use dm/dmg with non original names (this ties in with the magicians errata I want)
-curtain doesn't lock summons
-let eternal search for spells and summon dm same turn. Also it should be able to search any card that lists dm in its text.
-timmy the united dragon summon by just revealing a dm/dm text card in hand or summon if you control a dm on the field
-circle can grab monsters with dm in text
-palladium is just if added to hand special summon it which would let ioc search and summon it for free, still would not be that great but would be useable instead of complete garbage
-let chronicle magician special summon itself if you control a dm or blue eyes and add attack/def this way
-ebon illusion can summon from gy so send a material then summon that material (if you used dm for it obviously)
-magicians souls should be able to use both effects each turn
-ioc should be able to grab any chaos ritual monster or just chaos ritual spellcaster so blue eyes cant use it
-the dark magicians should count as both dm and dmg while on the field or gy (combo I want set soul servant flip on opponents turn put dark burning magic on top draw with the magicians effect set dark burning magic and now you have a board wipe card, would be very cool and neat)
-destined rivals should just be skill drain for dm/blue eyes. So a continuous trap that negates monsters while dm/blue eyes is on the field.
-bond between teacher and student should also be able to summon dm if you control dmg
-dark magic inheritance should be banish 1 spell/trap and not banish 2 spells. Also should be useable more than once per turn.
-dark magician of chaos should be errata'd back to how it was to just grab a spell on summon
-magicians combination should also destroy 1 card if it is face down
-magician of chaos should summon a ritual from the gy as well as hand ignoring its summoning conditions
-chronicle sorceress should be able to just send a dm/blue eyes card just on its summon
-magi kuriboh should also be protection for your dm cards or literally anything else cause holy moly that card is so bad
-dm the magical knight of dragons should have the effect "Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects during the Battle Phase" but even then literally unusable card cause you either summon
dragon knight or dragoon. Also it should summon a card that lists "Gaia the Dragon Champion" in its text, not just Gaia the Dragon Champion only.
-Magician of dark illusion should special summon on your turn as well as your opponent’s. Also the 2nd effect shouldn’t require it to be on the field to resolve.
No.
@@jobejacobs62 why not
Atem gave DM to Yugi which is the ebon version of DM (that Kazuki drawn himself that was used in DSOD). Ebon Sorcerer is from DSOD movie. The other cards are from the manga & anime.
Ebon Sorcerer is NOT from the DSOD movie. Stop pulling stuff out of your ass. Everything in the Shining Sarcophagus series of cards references ONLY the original anime series. Check your facts instead of spitting random crap
@@CoolsyNitro It is from DSOD.
@jobejacobs62 it isn't. Adding Ebon Sorcerer to its name is just for gameplay purposes to make a DM version that ties in with the Shining Sarc archetype. The entire archetype is based on the ceremonial battle at the end of the manga/anime, which includes Dark Magician and takes place way before DSOD. The only reason they have similar artwork is cause both are inspired by Kazuki Takahashi's artwork of DM, which was printed as a Shonen Jump promo back in 2008, almost 8 years before DSOD even released. You can literally look up all of this rather than just making up your own canon to validate your arguments
@@AverageJohan You basically confirmed it was FROM DSOD. How was that made up? The clothing style is DSOD!!!
Honestly how i play DM is spam bodies on field, concentrate on extra deck second and then eternity soul loop banish 3rd. Ive spent lots of money and been deck testing DM on master duel for 2 years now. DM should focus on the eternity banish one loops. Make it possible to do two banish per turn. Give more protection to DM and all its searches, then give it more competitive searcher cards. Make 2 viable extra deck DM monsters. One link one fusion and maybe one XYZ. Then last but not least, DM needs ability to draw more. Fix these issues and we can talk. Again this is me talking master duel. I cant get DM past diamond rank and never will when every modern deck just does too much
I too get hard stuck in the diamond because the deck just runs out of gas against the meta decks.
We will keep trying tho!
