I gotta admit, I was kind of confused as to why he summoned dark magician first like that. But the second facedown card cleared that up. He had a cool deck at least, but Dark Magician just needs more to really come back.
I’m gonna agree he had a good deck idea but disagree that Black Magicians need to do anything to “come back” as they never went away and never will. They’re one of the most iconic cards of Yugioh.
Well, I meant to come back to the tier list. Sure, people still play it, but it's not really that competitive anymore since it's speed decreased so much. Nowadays, it gets reduced to being a hybrid with stuff like Gaia or even resonators (and before it was nerfed, star seraph).
Yeah. It’s the banlist keeping it away from competing, but a deck this generally loved by players will always have fans playing it, even if they fail play competitively.
I used to use it before it got nerfed, but it got kind of boring. Even when I tried stuff to make it more fun like eye of timaeus fusions, synchro, or a ritual version, it was still almost always about banishing with the circle to win and just too repetitive. I wish it had something new to it so it's not about that so much.
