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.

Example deck




--	--	--	--

Set skill

[Skill] description	User
Power of Dark Begins Duel with the Field Spell "Yami" activated.	Yugi

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	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	can be used to summon more spellcaster’s in 1 turn, including DMG.
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

Card	Explanation
Dark Effigy	A budget substitute for Double Coston.
Arsenal Summoner	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	Useful to protect your Dark Magician against card such as Blast Held by a Tribute.
Escape from the Dark Dimension	After using Common Charity and removing your Dark Magician from play. You can special summon it with the use of this card.
Common Charity	A useful draw engine for this deck, along side with Escape from the Dark Dimension you can special summon the monster you removed.

-2 staff
-1 Circle Magician
-1 Enemy Control
+ 2 Sage Stone
+ 1 Knight Tittle
+ 1 Dark Magician Deck
More ATK whit Dark Magician Girl and destroy any card whit Knight tittle, and dark Magician in The first turn.

I have 3 sage stone. U dont want more than 1 in your deck because it is a dead draw if u don't have DMG in play (chances are low if u dont start with her and legion in your starting hand/ dont have a spellcaster to attack with magician circle, which, btw, doesnt work the turn it is set). Your deck needs more 4*- monsters( you only run 7!!! Wtf), less 5*+ monsters (u run 5, wtf!!! Dead draw!!!)

I think that, more monster 4*, but whit legion and summoner i can pick Rogue Doll even if it is in the graveyard. I try whit wonder balloons and work fine droping DM and pick up again whit legion. I never have problems whit monsters in game.

Any suggestion ?
Btw i have the diffussion but i dont like it doesnt help alot ..
How. About flash assult in this deck or another blue summ.
I still didnt get mirror wall or windstorm so my traps works fine for now
Soul eater and half shut protect them really well whats really missing is sage stone i will get it after the cup and probably gandora to strength the deck so what do u think guys

Your deck needs to focus. Too much diversity. Establish what are the best cards and put more copies. I would remove cards 5, 9, 11, 12, 15-17 ,19

I just want to say here that there are many cheater or hacker in this game. Whenever i play online pvp there is always weird things happen such as suddenly loss when im about to win. Recently i have encounter one duelist which his/her lp never fall below 1 everytime im attack directly. Dear developer please banned all of the hacker or cheater account. Please strengthen security hall of this game. I just felt that this is really unfair for others player who play legally.

Very Fun to play, but not so good in the meta :/

Meez

Toy Magician is great too, I run an extra equip spell to keep the lower level guys out longer. SO much satisfaction when you can have DM and DMGril out in one turn

Benny

U should put diffusion wave motion too that spell made for dark magician

Aaron

Would putting 2 Dark Magicians in be a bad idea? I want to use this deck but I haven't got a second Dark Magician Girl yet. Also why was Card Trader taken out?

<< Anonymous(Aaron)

Honestly I would either run 2 or 3 of and include the trap card where you draw 2 and discard 1 normal monster to the banish zone

great deck! just need few changes if we want to try ranked

cassandra

thousand knives and dark magic can be replaced with better magic card,, its kinda useless if u cant summon dark magician at the right time

I think it would lose part of its essence though, but you're right if we look more in a competitive way, which I don't think is the point of the deck

Echlipse
