Never allow Arkana's monsters to reach above 3000 attack with Black Pendant, but if he already has 2 Black Pendant in his graveyard you can ignore his last Black Pendant.
Set Forced Ceasefire during your second to the last turn so you can use it during your final turn, preventing Arkana from negating any of your last turn spells.
Heal as much as you can with spell cards during your turn. Remember to only use Supremacy Berry when your life points are lower than Arkana's.
Use Destiny Draw to add Des Counterblow to hand first. When you already have Des Counterblow, use destiny draw to add heal traps to hand.
Use The Golden Apples when Arkana attacks with his strongest monster, then special summon your token in defense position to stall. Best used when Arkana attacks with Dark Magician.
Try cards that take your LP away and use them right before winning.

Could somebody please help me make a deck to unlock him at the gate? The missions against lv30 Arkana are really hard. They are summoning Black Magician 2 times in a duel, ending his LP with BMG, and winning with less than 1000 LP using Yami Yugi.
Well I didn't know what deck arkana is running and you mentioned ectoplasma? Ok from my experience with bakura, ai only activates ectoplasma when he has 2 monsters on field (so when he tribute 1, he wouldn't open for direct attack from you). Just make sure he has 1 or no monster and you are safe.
Allen's idea of sage stone is good too. Though you can summon dmg with legion too
I didn't know he only Ectoplasmed with 2 monsters, so thanks for that too. I managed to do the DMG one so I took her and my 1 Sage's Stone out... maybe I should add them back. All I need now is summon DM twice in a duel. I have 2 Heralds of Creation to help too.

I only have lvl 20 arcana appear, how do you get lvl 3040 to show up???
Sorry if it came off as rude and you are right about dm if that happens. I haven't experienced him equipping 2 pendants on DM simply because he tends to equip them on his weaker monster as soon as he gets them.

This is gettign ridiculous,already got 2 dark magicians on level 40 ,this is level 30 I don't even care, just put autoduel cause it's harder and rewards sucks and then you got this lol
nice! i've had luck like this on past events, but not this event :( i'm getting terrible luck -- farmed 6k score on lvl40 arkana ~10 times, only 2 SR's ... and man it's hard to make a good farm deck when you don't have union attack or paradox bro's...
in the grand scheme i prefer the kidmodo's i luckily got from mokuba a few weeks ago :) but i'd still like a special edition dark magician :)

Against cancer deck you need to use troll deck. Set Simochi, send him Aegis using Gift Exchange, activate Simochi right after he flips the Aegis, then use Rain of Mercy to finish him off. You get decent point of victory by effect damage only.

i just use elements unite because he never activates ectoplasmer as long as big guy is in the field, dunno why"

He probably didn't have ectoplasmer with him at the time, you dumbass. He does use it. With you having only 500 starting lp, he definitely does use ectoplasmer to instant kill you.
