Btw I do really really like the last dark magician checklist you put up....I would had used 98% of it. I also like your new dark magician decklist even though I haven't heard anyone so far put prep into it so that's an interesting choice.
Well no one is saying dm is gonna be meta after this. But the more consistent a deck gets the better the deck is so by that right it will be at least rogue as long as dragoon is still a strong boss.
Love you man. Been watching since your shaky filming of YCSes documenting plant synchro meta and loved you ever since. Really appreciate the content and you deserve every bit of success. Congrats on the Konami sponsorship, incredibly deserved.
And why would it be any different from that? On the contrary, Sekai, I would say that with the presence of the new Timaeus, DM now has his own cards to easily summon him, because the real problem was never Dragoon, it was always Anaconda, which offers generic access to Dragoon for any deck . And that's why all the new support for DM continues to be Dragoon turbo: because he's the main boss of the archetype, THIS ARCHETYPE, nothing has changed.
@@RafaelSouza-oo2uq I have to agree with anaconda, it makes it far too spashable in any deck that wants him, He wouldn't be nearly as big an issue if you only saw him in DM or Red eyes decks.
I think a reason to run Prep is not just for the consistency, you can search the ritual hand trap “Sauravis”, which can negate Veiler and Imperm. Playing Prep can also allow you to play Gamma which helps make your boards stronger against Ash.
@@Lithium2300 I get that too. I like that you’re playing the field spell at 3. I get drawing multiples isn’t the best, but I like that it plays around Ash and Droll.
These are some good points. Imo there is no reason to not be playing prep because it just adds so much consistency. Circle, eternal soul, the field spell, and red-eyes fusion could all be played at 1 (and the kuriboh to 0 because it sucks) to make space too since soul servant can reuse the spells/traps if needed anyway
Lol even if you are I'm sure one day koonami will make support that incorporates dm and blue eyes. Even though we have dragoon and dm the dragon knight which can use any dragon. I'm more curious that the timeuas revamp as a monster means critias and hermos will get the same treatment down the road? Kinda hope plus we never got the critias blue eyes fusion.
@@Shinde425 lol it make blue eyes light dragoon with 4500 attk multiple attacks and a negate plus be unaffected by every thing. And gains some bonus effect if fused with both dm and blue eyes normal monsters. 😂 I'm sure dm haters would be pissed at that point
I feel bad for people trying to pick up dark magician now. I thought it was expensive in February of 2020 and I bit the bullet. But look at it now. Smh
Legendary duelist season 3 will bring reprints for magicians' souls, the dark magicians and soul servant. But it hasn't even been announced yet so.... yea gonna be stupidly expensive for a while
I just checked the price of my DM stuff and wow... everything increased in value. I paid 35 bucks for the dark magicians, 16 for soul servant and 40 for Dragoon. 90 for Souls though.
Probably cutting Circle to 2 and REF to 1 and pass on the Timaeus and Kuriboh to play even more consistency cards like Preparation of Rites. Think playing Sauravis as an extra target to protect Anaconda could be a decent pick. Field at 3 might be a bit much as well. Secrets is a pretty cool card since it lets you access The Dark Magicians, but potentially also the new Fusion or even Ritual Summon the new guy. Not the main gameplan but having the extra option is nice. But a lot will depend on how the meta shapes up in the next like 9 months.
@@RyanAtlus nah Timeaus is a needed one of and everything else you said is facts I run eternal soul as 2 up and circle and 3 prep 3 illusion 3 rod 3 souls
@@WhyPhoenix I prefer illusion magician to the new timaeus. Its an extender that doesn't go minus and helps turn on the eternal soul/circle loop if verte got negated
All I'm really seeing from these duels is that Verte and/or Dragoon needs to be banned. Every one of these games would have been: activate Circle, set Eternal Soul with DM in grave, pass, if not for Dragoon.
Probably Anaconda. They want us to use the timaeus monster/use eye of timaeus to go for dragoon. Also, Anaconda will still be a problem, dragoon or not.
I hope they ban red-eyes fusion because verte is a really cool card for other fusion decks. That way DM could still summon dragoon with magicalized fusion + verte or Timaeus and the other fusion decks don't suffer.
@@Kayze330 thing is, almost everything is using Verte. Not just for red-eyes fusion. In the ocg, they're playing fusion destiny because dragoon is banned. It will never stop because cards that fusion summon using the deck won't disappear any time soon. Verte is a problem, dragoon or not.
@@Kayze330 not to mention that most good fusion decks haven't been using verte anaconda. Not heroes, prank-kids or even shaddolls off the top of my head.... And I personally don't want to live a game where we play Russian roulette with every good fusion monster/spell for "fusion support" a BIG portion of fusion decks don't even use
I can't wait for the next legendary duelist reprint set so I can finally afford Magicians' Souls. I was lucky and able to get one from a friend but it's always been out of my price range.
Spin back eternal soul into the deck is 1 option that i can think of just now. Unicorn or lib your eternal soul using IP if you know they'll target it when your negate is gone just to save your board.
Prep helps a lot and there's no downside to playing 3 illusion and 3 prep cause they illusion is there to search and unbrick and you can also play 1 sauravis to search to dodge veilers and imperms
Also I've been testing necroid fusion and it's decent going first cause you can make double dragoon or any of the other fusions with dragoon but it's bad going second, definitely something to look at
Agreed keeper of dragon magic plus the new timeaus to end on a board of two to three dragoons. Ultra poly or the spellcaster fusion spell are way more useful and don't restrict your plays.
Dark magician is looking in a very nice playable spot that is fun. The new support of timaeus and the ritual give it 2 new forms to do something after their magicians rod or magicians souls gets hand trapped. At worst you can use the timaeus to fuse with a magicians rod on the field that had it's effect negated but wasn't destroyed(ash blossom)
Well least the field spell is coming out in the tins begining of October. So one down and two more to go. Looking forward to the new ritual and timeaus😁. Still waiting on zane and aster support that's coming out soon but not soon enough😒
Cant the new timaeus summon dragoon since dragoon only needs 1 dark magician and one dragon effect monster. So summon timaeus activate eff and use him and DM to summon dragoon. So you wont need to run red eyes and red eyes fusion and you have 2 extra spots in the deck.
@@mewyblast5575 nope just a red eyes or any effect dragon type. And timaeus is an effect dragon. So he should be able to activate eff and fuse with DM for dragoon.
But Timeaus route is a neg 3. Itself, the card sent used to special summon it, and the other fusion material. And situational as it’s relies on having correct cards for its summon and having a dark magician in hand / field.
Limiting Dark magician to dragoon plays could work sometimes but it makes it really fragile. Even tho dragoon is a broken card, it can really be a waste of ressources in DM. For the first turn, I find the dragon knight to be more solid and you can definitely notice that against decks like tri-brigade.
Not if you can bust out two dragoons or at the very least set up for other negates and disruption at the same time. In that instant dm could one day start stealing tops especially if other cards come out that insanely amp there strat up and usually that's all it takes is either op extra deck cards or other main deck support that works to well with a deck.
You are great at playing all the decks in your cross banlist tournament but so far I haven't really like your choices for any of your dark magician deck list.
No need for red eyes dragon anymore or red eyes fusion. Magicalized should be priority and timaeus dragon should run at 2. Dark magician is not a brick in this deck since you can fusion or bring him for card effects. Palladium are a bit more playable now with the new support as they can be splash for chaos new fusion. You can send them back to your deck instead of the ritual or use them for summoning timaeus. I would run terraformin and 2 secret village 2 new field, as secret village stops a lot of the current decks going first. Also, summon limit is pretty needed for going first to stop your opponent from going off. No need for 3 circle.. I will probably go down to 2 or 1, as it's searchable and not a good starter. I often hold it to set up my deck for soul servant draws. I would definitely try fit 2 illusion magician to bring DM to your hand for timaeus.
So I am of the opinion that DM has some of the most individually most powerful cards ever printed in a vacuum. But because its all made to support DM it falls because how hard it has to carry DM as a vanilla. Still though, this support is bonkers fun. Here's hoping Souls gets a reprint soon so the deck can be more accessible to fans
Even so when you got a pay off like dragoon then dm isn't a bad brick especially with the new ritual and the new timeaus. And soul servant and magicians souls to draw cards and get rid of useless back row or to clear up things you don't need anymore then honestly you really don't need to run much of the support other then those cards and maybe a dm girl or mahad just to plus two off servant. And the rest of the deck you throw another archetype in like shadolls, eldlich or dragons or whatever you feel like.
i actually tested my own dark magician on ygopro and i run about either 1-2 chaos ritual because it could be searched out also thats way too many handtraps! youre probably bricking! dark magician isnt like the meta where they can combo off with 1 card! just run the basic 3 ash and 3 imperm. put 2 warlord 2 gozen 3 apprentice which is a special summon to dump Dm into the grave if in hand and get a DM from deck to hand! also 2 magicians rod it can always be recycled back. cut salvation to 1. and i have 2 secret villages and i keep royal decree in the side just incase i tend to take out the gozen and warlord and put more spells in the deck.
Me (a budget player): Man I can't wait until they finally reprint the Magician hero's card for my dark magician deck. I've been waiting for years to get cheaper cards. Konami: MAIN SET Dark Magician support. Me: So I'll keep waiting until next year... or switch card games. Fuck this. .
I always see Dark Magicians as a fun deck. What I like to do is cut off all handtraps and just play draw engines (spellbooks), and use their supports like Bond Between Teacher and Student.
Either Anaconda or Dragoon. I'd rather have Dragoon banned because it's horrible card design by itself and the other relevant targets (Phoenix Enforcer, any of the Shaddolls, Battle Butler and Titan) are all way more manageable than Dragoon, but I'll take either one.
@@Lithium2300 not saying you shouldn't play dragoon. But is kinda annoying that everyone is playing the same deck, and that deck have one of the most annoying and generic cards ever released as the primary form of interruptions.
One of the very few times i really disagree with the build. - 3 field + 2 Eternal is way too much, 1 field + 2 eternal is plenty (you dont need to clog your hand even more) - REF is great as a Foolish Burial but no more than 1, also Kuriboh is very gimmicky. Illusion can return it to the deck, and for the followup you have Magicalize. - Secrets is amazing, not only can help you dogde Imperm/Veiler, "The Dark Magicians" makes Servant an add instead of top deck. You can even place your Eternal Soul on top to activate it on the same turn. Also Illusion is a monster negate so it can even work for a ritual summon. Preferably you go for "The Dark Magicians" since it floats and works like Heatsoul drawing every turn. - 2 Prep is also mandatory, you want to see Rod/Souls every game. You can even go to 3 but having both Rod and Souls at 8 copies is vital. - Upstart Goblin allows you to get your Servant top deck or anything that Circle rearranged on the top. - Inheritance is also a great card, if you put some draw power. You dont search this card, it's there for the blind draws. Max at 2, i run only 1. - Apprentice is at least 1off. Free body, can dump anything to make Verte. Big note here that you can go Verte/Dragoon, then Normal Summon Rod and get 2 draws. The extra needs some work as well. - The new DM-BLS works with both Selene's, wiping the board and pushing for the OTK. - The Dark Magicians can give you a draw every turn, making your handtraps even more lethal. Also dont forget the Trap setting effect. - Imduk is a better Link Spider, you can then go to Verte and make Dragoon with Magicalized. Or use it if you open it. - The rank 1 Zeus package is super situational (like the second Verte), i suggest I:P + Goddess or Unicorn. With the field spell you can get both DM and DMG to steal a monster with Goddess OR mind your chain links and tribute DMG for Rod (discard fodder) and go into Unicorn with IP+DM. Lastly my very subjective touch is running Meisters instead of Belles with 2 Allures (9 handtraps, 3 Imperm 3 Veiler, 3 Meister) because you can afford to banish an extra name and it works really well with the above. (This isn't a rant, im trying to help!!!!!!)
"Is this new support going to make DM top-tier? Nope." , of course not! And yet they do it anyway! Not saying you have to play meta by any stretch, but I rarely saw DM played at locals. Definitely not enough for this nostalgic bait to be as prevalent with support as it is.
I am still on my opinion that this support is GAR-BA-GE ! except for the fusion one that I blv is amazing ! other than that I consider everything to be ... well I already said it. I might be wrong about the ritual but the only reason I said so was the fact it is a searcher for souls' and every single deck that needs souls" will splash it without need a brick in deck to send since the ritual can be sent to the GY meaning that konami didnt provide help for DM but just a splashable crazy engine imo which is why the support is GAR-BA-GE ! I feel iffy concerning the field spell honestly ... it is just souls' food and thats it ! anyway, the deck isnt impressive at all imo, and it is doing what it was already able to do which is unfortunate for many DM players ... why cant DM get just decent support once and for all ? an what hurts me the most is they ALWAYS gets terrible support ... the only amazing one was the "Magical HERO" set that was crazy ! many decks deserves some love *looking at Volcanics* and if Konami want to stick with DM then give Red-Eyes ... not support but a freaking playstyle ... seriously no archetype got humiliated as Red-Eyes ... Joey DESERVES the respect he deserves.
Well... As a Red-Eyes player, the archetype not having a clear playstyle is... oddly appropriate. You can do anything you want with Red-Eyes : Dragon Link, Dark Warrior, Gemini Beatdown, Xyz Spam, Fusion Control and so on. But, it would be nice to have more Slash-leveled Fusion Monsters and a Fusion Spell that doesn't suck ass like an archetypal Dragon's Mirror.
Well, uh, you are wrong about the ritual. Other decks being able to splash in your engine doesn't make it garbage support. And the support is good because it helps DM do what it was already doing with more consistency. Because that's what good support should do. It'd be annoying if decks got support that couldn't be readily slotted into the deck because it supported a playstyle that was too different from the previous version.
@@AnimatedCarl being it splashable is garbage for the deck because every single deck will love to have souls' I am honestly not satisfied as a wholr with the support and it is my first time ever to not like a support for any kind of a deck.
@@engelsvladimir7727 how would I know what they need ? do I look like a DM player ? but I definitely know a good card when I see one and I can assure you DM never needed that kuribo for example, but the ritual monsters sucks not because of its effect but bcz it will be abusable/splashed in different deck that want to use souls" thats my opinion ... plus why did it have to be (that effect)) on a freaking ritual monster ? what the point ?

Listen to them Konami!! This is the duelist which destroyed exodia because they knew it was unhealthy for the game!
Either Anaconda or Dragoon. I'd rather have Dragoon banned because it's horrible card design by itself and the other relevant targets (Phoenix Enforcer, any of the Shaddolls, Battle Butler and Titan) are all way more manageable than Dragoon, but I'll take either one.
@@kaesitha7006 I mean the fact that Anaconda has so many other targets kind of proves that it is the card that needs to go in the modern format
@@114bleachfan Yeah, that's fair
@@114bleachfan Exactly.
It's laughable who argues that the real problem is Dragoon.
I found about 10 dark magicians in a row. This have to stop, is even worse than when engage was unbanned, and this is a dragoon spam deck
Imagine not using the deck’s boss monster 😌
@@Lithium2300 not saying you shouldn't play dragoon. But is kinda annoying that everyone is playing the same deck, and that deck have one of the most annoying and generic cards ever released as the primary form of interruptions.
12:43 "Not top tier deck" Something else will, with Illusion and Souls.
God i hope that neos will get something too soon
One of the very few times i really disagree with the build.
- 3 field + 2 Eternal is way too much, 1 field + 2 eternal is plenty (you dont need to clog your hand even more)
- REF is great as a Foolish Burial but no more than 1, also Kuriboh is very gimmicky. Illusion can return it to the deck, and for the followup you have Magicalize.
- Secrets is amazing, not only can help you dogde Imperm/Veiler, "The Dark Magicians" makes Servant an add instead of top deck. You can even place your Eternal Soul on top to activate it on the same turn. Also Illusion is a monster negate so it can even work for a ritual summon. Preferably you go for "The Dark Magicians" since it floats and works like Heatsoul drawing every turn.
- 2 Prep is also mandatory, you want to see Rod/Souls every game. You can even go to 3 but having both Rod and Souls at 8 copies is vital.
- Upstart Goblin allows you to get your Servant top deck or anything that Circle rearranged on the top.
- Inheritance is also a great card, if you put some draw power. You dont search this card, it's there for the blind draws. Max at 2, i run only 1.
- Apprentice is at least 1off. Free body, can dump anything to make Verte. Big note here that you can go Verte/Dragoon, then Normal Summon Rod and get 2 draws.
The extra needs some work as well.
- The new DM-BLS works with both Selene's, wiping the board and pushing for the OTK.
- The Dark Magicians can give you a draw every turn, making your handtraps even more lethal. Also dont forget the Trap setting effect.
- Imduk is a better Link Spider, you can then go to Verte and make Dragoon with Magicalized. Or use it if you open it.
- The rank 1 Zeus package is super situational (like the second Verte), i suggest I:P + Goddess or Unicorn. With the field spell you can get both DM and DMG to steal a monster with Goddess OR mind your chain links and tribute DMG for Rod (discard fodder) and go into Unicorn with IP+DM.
Lastly my very subjective touch is running Meisters instead of Belles with 2 Allures (9 handtraps, 3 Imperm 3 Veiler, 3 Meister) because you can afford to banish an extra name and it works really well with the above.
(This isn't a rant, im trying to help!!!!!!)
Many thanks ❤️
magicians souls... $100 usd each.. need playset, verte anaconda... $55 usd, Dragoon... $80 usd WHAT THE HYUCK KOMONEY lol
More of a dragoon turbo deck and not a dm deck
"Is this new support going to make DM top-tier? Nope." , of course not! And yet they do it anyway! Not saying you have to play meta by any stretch, but I rarely saw DM played at locals. Definitely not enough for this nostalgic bait to be as prevalent with support as it is.
I am still on my opinion that this support is GAR-BA-GE ! except for the fusion one that I blv is amazing ! other than that I consider everything to be ... well I already said it. I might be wrong about the ritual but the only reason I said so was the fact it is a searcher for souls' and every single deck that needs souls" will splash it without need a brick in deck to send since the ritual can be sent to the GY meaning that konami didnt provide help for DM but just a splashable crazy engine imo which is why the support is GAR-BA-GE ! I feel iffy concerning the field spell honestly ... it is just souls' food and thats it ! anyway, the deck isnt impressive at all imo, and it is doing what it was already able to do which is unfortunate for many DM players ... why cant DM get just decent support once and for all ? an what hurts me the most is they ALWAYS gets terrible support ... the only amazing one was the "Magical HERO" set that was crazy ! many decks deserves some love *looking at Volcanics* and if Konami want to stick with DM then give Red-Eyes ... not support but a freaking playstyle ... seriously no archetype got humiliated as Red-Eyes ... Joey DESERVES the respect he deserves.
Well...
As a Red-Eyes player, the archetype not having a clear playstyle is... oddly appropriate. You can do anything you want with Red-Eyes : Dragon Link, Dark Warrior, Gemini Beatdown, Xyz Spam, Fusion Control and so on.
But, it would be nice to have more Slash-leveled Fusion Monsters and a Fusion Spell that doesn't suck ass like an archetypal Dragon's Mirror.
Well, uh, you are wrong about the ritual. Other decks being able to splash in your engine doesn't make it garbage support.
And the support is good because it helps DM do what it was already doing with more consistency. Because that's what good support should do. It'd be annoying if decks got support that couldn't be readily slotted into the deck because it supported a playstyle that was too different from the previous version.
@@AnimatedCarl being it splashable is garbage for the deck because every single deck will love to have souls'
I am honestly not satisfied as a wholr with the support and it is my first time ever to not like a support for any kind of a deck.
And what did you want them to get?? A searcher for the monsters is lit what everyone's been asking for lol.
@@engelsvladimir7727 how would I know what they need ? do I look like a DM player ? but I definitely know a good card when I see one and I can assure you DM never needed that kuribo for example, but the ritual monsters sucks not because of its effect but bcz it will be abusable/splashed in different deck that want to use souls" thats my opinion ... plus why did it have to be (that effect)) on a freaking ritual monster ? what the point ?
No one cares to ritual summon illusion of chaos...
