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

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.

Platino 3, pero por que no juego mucho PvP, desde que tengo el mazo me he dedicado a los eventos y farmeo de DL. Pero va bien en competitivo, cuesta ganar a los burn deck y Gravekeepers, pero los demás deck, tienen dificultad media-media/baja. Cuando ves un deck de 30 cartas, es victoria casi segura.

Seems ok but you should really cut down to 20 cards.

This is my current version, I aim to get a third Legion Fiend Jester and second Sage's Stone.

So after the Neo present and the new pack i made some changes

I removed one copy of DMG and put ritual Black chao instead

And Neo instead of One copy of rogue

The 3 copies of BDS are to have DM and and Neo and rogue on my hand and for flexibilty of the deck

And jester in case my dm died or something

I wish i had more copies of jester but i dont

Anyway its 21 now will that affect my starting hand if yes suggest me pllz which card to remove

Its very hard to remove one
Its easier to put gandora or swift gaya and play with 22

Remove Thousand Knifes.
You don't need it and it's too situational for it's effect.

I made some changes. I want Rogue Dolls to be in my deck but I couldn't since I missed Pegasus Event...

You can focus in only one strategy. In your deck only see a lot cards together, but i can stand the strategy. Some times u have a Dark magician girl and then u can use sage stone? Good control cards, but is not enough for one solid strategy. And Always build a deck whit 20 cards, you dont want goods cards in ypur hand, you want a good sinergy of all of them.
My english is basic.

It seems people here dont know the power of Legion and Magician Circle. Those are the cards that give u the upper hand with this deck.
