I have 2 out of 3 copies.

Also have 2 out of 3 copies of Navigation.

I'm just about done for those Core Cards.

What?
Did you just called a 80% FTK AND hand balanced for dark Magician?

You mean balanced because its cards are limited by money?

Dark magician needs 0 money to be completed. I am f2p player and made it 100% complete within 1 month. Only need 3runs of 1 main box and 1 MINI nox to complete it. ALL the other cards are free in game. Just farm and do a good gem management.

1st account. I got my 1st circle in the 18th pack and my second after around 40 packs. The 3rd one came after around 70 packs so i helieve it was fair. Got each of my 3 navigations in the first 30-40 packs. Around 14000gems, which is easily possible.

Yep, 14000 gems is doable using just 1 account only.

`You can only use each effect of "Dark Magical Circle" once per turn.`
Card is bugged, in case it gets negated and you didn't use any of its effects, it still does not let you activate a second copy.

Not bugged, since it's "use", not "activate".

Yes, there's a difference.

According to OPT ruling, if a card states "use", and either its activation or effect is negated, you cannot activate it once again.

because everyone else ignored the question like an idiot.....

Did you use Maiden's other effect on the same turn? You can only use one of Maiden's effect per turn.

They don't have to limit a card to nerf it when they can release new cards that are 2 times more broken GG instead. Like a "Dark Magic Circle Advanced version" for 3x more profit.

I bet those 1100 gems only net you one copy of this card. Getting 3 copies is expensive, will definitely eat a ton of gems.

Well, its RNG. I got my luckiest pull of my life for this 3 copy. Got first for 2nd 10 pull. Second with 1st 10 pull. Last with 4th 10 pull. 3.5k gems only

Yeah, that's pretty abnormal for an RNG.
Oh wait. No wonder

KASH

I‘ve got the worst luck with pulling this card. I‘ve been playing with 2 copies of this and each came with just around 20 packs left. Now I went for the third and pulled every UR except two out of this box again.. guess who is missing? Right, that damn circle. Now i got 2 UR left on 80 packs...

Hi guys,
Funnily I always play Blue Eyes and never Dark Magician. Then when I open boxes I get lots of Ur & Sr DM cards but very few of BE ones.

If I knew that the pack openings were rigged against the archetype that has the most play time I would have been playing with something else than BE so that I can get the BE Spirit more easily.
Useful info, thanks

Some people are still learning what had been obvious from the very beginning? Took you some time to learn that the RNG is rigged man.
