Dark Magician Combo: deck recipe

This page notes Dark Magician Deck profile, including essential cards and the best character and skill to use the deck.
update 09/02/2017

Overview

Pros

  • You can pressure your opponent with strong tribute monsters and spell card effect synergy.
  • Fun deck. If you are a fan of the anime, it might remind you of some Yugi duels.

Cons

  • The low level monsters don’t have good stats and can get easily killed if you can’t protect them with a trap card.
  • If you take long to tribute summon your Dark Magicians, this deck may lose to a faster deck.

How to use the deck

The deck’s objective is to make use of the low level monster’s effects in order to summon Dark Magician (DM) from your deck or hand so you will have a good advantage with your spells Dark Magic Attack and Thousand Knives, as well as a high stats monster on the field.

Support Cards

Thousand Knives
Thousand Knives
May save your DM from dying from monster’s effects like Yomi Ship or Hane-Hane, it can also open way for a direct attack.
Magician's Circle
Magician's Circle
can be used to summon more spellcaster’s in 1 turn, including DMG.
Mirror Wall
Mirror Wall
Mirror Wall and Windstorm of Etaqua are used to protect your low stats monsters before you can play your DM.

When to use Dark Magic Attack

Be careful with trap cards like Blast Held by a Tribute. If your opponent has many set spell or traps, wait until you can destroy them with Dark Magic Attack. You may have your DM back from graveyard with Legion’s effect, but it’s not so reliable once you would have to summon it again somehow and you might lose control of the game, but don’t be too afraid as well, one set card could be just bluff or not be a dangerous card to you.

Other useful cards

Dark Effigy
Dark Effigy
A budget substitute for Double Coston.

Rogue Doll is in the deck because it is a normal spellcaster monster, so she can be used with Legion’s effect, but if you don’t have them you can put Arsenal Summoner.
Champion's Vigilance
Champion's Vigilance
Useful to protect your Dark Magician against card such as Blast Held by a Tribute.

Is Duel links similar to the actual TCG game?

Duel Links is more of a speed dueling format. A 20 card minimum deck, only 4000LP. Less monster card and spell/trap zones. Also character skills and other things make for a different meta-game. Although you can use some of the same card combos and guidelines from the TCG, the format makes different cards more or less viable and strong than they may be in the card game.

Agreed, It was rather cringey and unnecessary.

How is this DM Deck for starters?

Can't comment much since you are beginner.

But just take note for future improvement:
Take away ritual, more protection (quick spell/ trap), more board control (counter trap, dark magic attack), either no high leveled monsters or have them summoned through special summon method (sage stone, magician circle), and level up arkana use his cards for DM decks.

Another note:
Metalmorph is a good card for beginner. Just remember, activate it only during damage step. It can catches your opponent off guard and prevent them from making any counter attack (unless they also have cards that activate during damage step)

This deck is trash. If you want a decent Dark Magician Deck, max out Arkana use his DM support cards + Master of Magicians.

I just started and wanted to make a DM deck. Sadly enough arkana isn't available anymore. So should i still go for this one. So yes should i make some adjustments or?

You can only open one Legion The Fiend Jester from Flames of the Tyrant. Is there another way to unlock him since this deck calls for 2?

Reset the box after getting everything else that you want and then go for a second one. That's about it.

Go with one of the two types. Either a level up deck with Silent Magician or a DMG deck

Just go with full silent magician with Level Up. Lol

Guys pla help a newbie out.
Some of the cards needs to be farmed from "Lds" like "Dark magician girl". I have been farming lvl.30 Tèa from the gate a lot, but unfortunately with no success. So, does farming her with a higher level than 30 improve the rate of getting the UR card? or it's just completely random?

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to get the original art for the Dark Magician

It was a preregistration thing. When GX came to the game, you were given two UR tickets that allowed you to get that + Blue Eyes original artwork.
