Dark Magician: deck recipe [Mar 23]

Dark Magician is a fan favorite deck and one that can branch into many versions. It can be quite an oppressive deck since both Magician's Circle and Magician Navigation are good ways to stop your opponent's combos, and the combination of the 2 cards gives you some good card advantage as well.

Apprentice Illusion Magician's effect to special summon itself by discarding a card and searching for a Dark Magician from the deck provides great consistency to the deck. The ability to boost another DARK Spellcaster monster's ATK/DEF during damage calculation by sending this card from the hand or field to the GY is a powerful effect, which can help the player to swing the game in their favor.

Dark Magician is a key monster in this Deck that revolves around using the Dark Magician as its main boss monster, with support cards such as Dark Magical Circle, Magicians Rod, and Magical Dimension to help summon and protect it.

Dark Magician Girl gains 300 ATK for each "Dark Magician" or "Magician of Black Chaos" in either player's Graveyard. This means that if you have multiple copies of Dark Magician in your Graveyard, Dark Magician Girl sometimes can become a formidable attacker. However, this lady is usually used as The Dark Magicians Fusion Material.

The Dark Magicians is a very good card in Dark Magician decks on Duel Links. Its effect to draw a card and potentially activate or set a Spell/Trap card upon activation of an opponent's Spell/Trap card or effect is very strong and can help generate card advantage. Additionally, its ability to Special Summon both a Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl from the hand, deck, or graveyard if it is destroyed provides a powerful board presence and can help facilitate Xyz and Synchro plays.

Secrets of Dark Magic can be a powerful card as it gives you flexibility in how you choose to bring out your monsters. This can help you maintain field presence and put pressure on your opponent.

Although the downside is that it requires you to have the necessary monsters in your hand or on the field to perform the Summon, which can be challenging if you don't draw the right cards, you can add the specific Key Materials with some support.

Magician's Rod is a crucial card as it allows for consistent searches of important Spell/Trap cards such as "Dark Magical Circle" and "Secrets of Dark Magic" from the deck. The ability to add itself back to the hand during the opponent's turn can also provide additional protection and resources.

Magician is one of your key searchers alongside Spellbook of Secrets. The difference is, being a monster, Magician is much more versatile than Spellbook of Secrets.

Draw Engine of Spellbook Deck. This card can let you convert the excess Spellbook Spell Card (Cards with the same name) from your hand into two more hand sources without losing any cards on your field. If you chain Spellbook of Knowledge with a Spellbook Quick-Spell Card, then you can send that Quick-Spell that is still on the field which becomes 1 Card Earning in this situation.

Keep in mind that according to the Rulings, even if you apply the effect of "Spellbook of Knowledge" using the effect of "Spellbook of the Master", you cannot choose the activated "Spellbook of the Master" as the card you send to the Graveyard.

Spellbook of Secrets allows you to add from your Deck to your hand any “Spellbook” card, including Spellbook Magician of Prophecy.

The Eye of Timaeus targets a Dark Magician you control to make any of your Extra Deck monsters. This increases the power ceiling of the deck, but too many copies of Eye of Timaeus can hinder the consistency of your main strategy.

You can target Magician of Dark Illusion with Eye of Timaeus. This will let you revive a Dark Magician, while also replacing Magician of Dark Illusion with a much better beater with a disruptive effect.

Add Dark Magician to your hand and Special Summon it with Magical Dimension. You can also fetch Secrets of Dark Magic if you already have Dark Magician on hand. This combo well with Dark Magical Circle's second effect, letting you banish an opponent's card. Because Magical Dimension is a Quick-Play Spell card, this combo can be used during your opponent's turn for disruption.

Most of the time you will be summoning Dark Cavalry with the Eye of Timaeus. His protection from targeting is arguably the most versatile among your Extra Deck monsters, capable of stopping most disruption. For added utility, you can also use this negation to stop your opponent from targeting their own monsters. On top of negation, the ATK boost and piercing effect makes him good as a beater. Overall making him a huge threat onboard.

Strength in Unity is a decent card that uses Fusion Summoning, as it provides additional removal for the opponent's cards and can help recover a Normal Monster from the Graveyard.

Magical Dimension is a useful card in a Dark Magician deck as it allows you to Tribute a Spellcaster-Type monster you control and Special Summon another Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand while also destroying a monster on the field. This can help you get rid of your opponent's threats while also bringing out more powerful monsters.

Destined Rivals can be a useful card in a Dark Magician Deck in Duel Links, as it can help to disrupt the opponent's strategy by negating the effects of their face-up monsters.

Snatch 1 monster your opponent control is not only a great disruption to your opponent but also can use that monster for your Link Summoning which is also good in Mirror Match.

Very powerful monster removal card that can disrupt your opponent's combo easily.

A decent Rank 7 Xyz monster that can take control of 1 of your opponent's monster permanently (this effect is target-effect which will be useless to those monsters that cannot be targeted). However, Big Eyes cannot attack when this effect is activated which will causes that low possibility of OTK for sometimes.

With the 2 Dark Magicians special summoned with Magician Navigation, you can Xyz into this to special summon a Dark Magician from the deck. It can also banish cards your opponent controls, but will only activate when the spellcaster normal monster attacks.

Ebon High Magician makes you able to activate Quick Play Spell or Trap Card from your hand during your opponent's turn.

High Magician's second effect will allows you to special summon 1 Dark Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand or Deck after he is destroyed by your opponent's card effect. After that, you can also able to destroy 1 card on the field.

300 ATK higher than the Dark Magicians and can't be destroyed by card effects, but its main strength is the fact that the effect damage is not limited to once per turn. It's useful to chip your opponent down, but not worth using 2 Dark Magicians at the start of the fight since the effect damage is halved due to Duel Links rules.

Wee Witch's Apprentice can be a useful card in a Dark Magician deck, especially if you are running a deck that includes mostly DARK monsters. Its effect of giving all DARK monsters on the field a 500 ATK/DEF boost can make your monsters more difficult to destroy, while also making them stronger in battle.

Additionally, Wee Witch's Apprentice's effect of causing all LIGHT monsters on the field to lose 400 ATK/DEF can be helpful in reducing the effectiveness of your opponent's LIGHT monsters, making them easier to defeat in battle.

Finally, Wee Witch's Apprentice's ability to add a DARK monster from your GY to your hand if it is destroyed by battle or a card effect can be helpful in replenishing your resources and keeping your plays going.

Link Disciple allows you to draw a card and cycle a card from your hand. It can also as a Filter Draw Strategy to tribute 1 monster this card points to; usually used to get rid of Knightmare Corruptor Iblee that was special summoned to your field by the opponent.

This can be a good 1 card to bring if you are using Chocolate Magician Girl. Activating Dark Magical Circle lets you re-arrange the top few cards of your deck, allowing you to normal summon Chocolate Magician Girl and activate her effect to draw Mahad and special summon him right away.

Mahad's effect to double his effect is quite strong, but how often it gets used depends on how relevant DARK monsters are during the meta.

Magician of Dark Illusions is a good monster to Special Summon from your deck with Magician's Navigation. This can set you up for another Dark Magician summoning using Dark Illusion's effect with Magicians Navigation in your graveyard as the trigger.

Dark Magical Circle's removal effect can be activated when you Special Summon Magician of Dark Illusion. Conversely, Dark Magical Circle's removal effect activated during your opponent's turn can trigger Magician of Dark Illusion's summoning, or Magician of Dark Illusion's second effect if activated during either player's turn.

The Eye of Timaeus can be used on Magician of Dark Illusion. This will activate his second effect, letting you revive Dark Magician just before Magician of Dark Illusion leaves the field as fusion material.
