Dark Sage should have just been a fusion with Dark Magician and Time Wizard as materials.
Maybe a retrain is in order. Use Eye of Timeaus, search ( probably with some restriction). I can see it
Thousand Dragon: fusion monster that doesn't require the time wizard's effect. Shown in the anime nearly a dozen times to require the effect.
Dark Sage: main deck monster that does require time wizard's effect. Shown in anime once.
LOGIC!
no it should require either your opponent to succeed on a time wizard or you to fail. that way it is treated as a safety net if your own fails.
@@dannybeane2069 Considering that Joey used Fusion Monsters without Fusion Summoning them (Flame Swordsman & Giltia the D. Knight), there was a lot of nonsense the anime and even the manga screwed with compared to the main game.
@@dannybeane2069 in the anime Yugi wasn't the one to use the effect of Time Wizard either, it was his opponent Joey that used and correctly called the coin toss.
Dark Sage is a meme tier card. I mean, the only reason it exists is to give an explanation to why Yugi was able to summon it out of his ass to fulfill the plot.
Dark Sage is awesome though.
Dark Sage wasn't even a card though. It was the mechanic of the game, Time Wizard aged cards. YGO in the manga and anime was more of a DnD board game with cards, than the game Konami made based off of it.
Dark Magician Knight isn't a card either, nor were the Toon's their own cards. They became Toon type. The appearances were changed just for the visuals, and they were given effects or elements based off an unseen rule book, like in DnD.
Konami just made them into actual cards when making them real. For simplification, and making it work in their take on Magic and Monsters(aka YGO)
The duel never happened so Dark Sage is filler.
@@SSJvegito501 joey vs yugi duelist kingdom
@@Shadothecat yeah the duel is filler. It never happened in the manga. Joey surrenders before the duel begins.
Situationally useful cards are my favorite kind to play. Just imagine the look on your opponent's face when they play Raigeki and you chain with Anti Raigeki.
Or they play SORL and you flip Weather Report
I-is that a real card?
@@sauceman2saucyboogaloo530 Yes, and it's awful because when people use Raigeki, they don't have monsters on their field yet.
Which means it won't trigger Anti-Raigeki even if it's activated.
@@JonkoSplonko what is anti-raigeki's effect?
@@sauceman2saucyboogaloo530 If your opponent activates Raigeki, negate the effect and then destroys all monsters your opponent controls (And the destruction effect is mandatory, so, if your opponent doesn't has monsters and activates Raigeki, Anti-Raigeki won't do anything, not even negate it.)
And that's common because in the modern meta, Raigeki is a going second tool to clear the opponent's board and then start your own combos and plays.
You have to go -6 to bring a 2800 honest-equipped beatstick that only lasts one turn. Great design
Chain honest to its effect and you can win the game lol
Technically you could do it in one with 'A Wild Monster Appears'
Really can't imagine why they felt its anime effect was overpowered and had to be nerfed. In the anime, it re-summoned Flame Swordsman and Dark Magician upon removing itself. It would still not be very exciting (still has all its other problems, and the effect's weaker or may not even work at all if you used a fusion sub thus have no Flame Swordsman in the GY), but at least it would be somewhat usable.
@@josephn1180 the dark sage attacked! It was super effective!
Dark Magician: "My support sucks compared to Blue Eyes"
Red-Eyes B Dragon: "At least you don't have "potential" support"
I know Zombie Dragon doesn't help the rest of the Red-Eyes, but the main deck monster and the synchro retrain are good for a zombie deck built on stealing your opponent's monsters.
and dark magician is still the better deck when you play it pure...xD
And Blue-Eyes just breathes and both the other decks just die instantly.
Blue eyes ritual decks got obliterated by standard DM deck back then when Dracosack wasn't banned
dark paladin says no!
I love how Yugioh has cards that literally only existed to win one super specific duel with super specific circumstances and instead of trying to make a good card, Konami was like, no.
Those would be plot armor cards, because you need anime protagonist plot armor to be able to use them.
I mean... Das some good anime material. Kids gotta have something to watch
@@indumatipngtuber2790 But why aren't they made more playable in translation?
@@GordieKat well, some of those cards just got the same effect than the anime effect, it makes them really bad but at least there still a logic behind that
Yeah but you can't make dark magician top tier, because then Konami would have to start banning or limiting cards in the archetype. Something that would extremely hurt them because dark magician is very popular
Not to mention, Sorcerer of Dark Magic had an additional effect in the Pyramid of Light movie: it lowered the attack of the opponent's monsters by 500 for each spellcaster in your graveyard. They could've kept that and made the card better.
Sadly that is only partly right, the actual effect in the movie states that the Spellcaster monsters that are in the grave. Had to be sent to the field to the grave, this I believe was stated in the Japanese version and if it wasn't it was later confirmed on the Wikia. Especially considering the fact that with only around 10 cards left and 30 odd in grave, the chances of Yugi having more then 3 Spellcasters was actually pretty high. As such that effect would have only been slightly better, because you can't send cards from deck to grave with stuff like Foolish Burial or even from Hand to grave. So it would only make it slightly better, unless of course they fixed it to being exactly what you said.
Yeah, at the time of his release that effect would've been a colossal nightmare to fight since Beatsticks were still pretty relevant. Having 4 or more spellcasters in the graveyard would be a free Slifer without the enormous pain of bringing that God Monster out. That being said with many archtypes (like the Sacred Beasts) gaining cards that give them their overpowered anime effects to keep up with Power Creep, I'd say a Magic or Trap card that gives Sorcerer of Dark Magic his attack point crippler effect a not to far-fetched idea.
Konami is scared of Anime effects lol.
If Sorcerer of Dark Magic had been given that effect or a once per turn effect to choose a spellcaster in the graveyard and reduce an opponents monsters by half of the attack of the selected monster that also could've made it a little better plus if it would've been destroyed by battle or card effect you card banish a spellcaster from your hand or graveyard instead
Well the didn't give Blue-Eyes Shining it's "Nova" effect either which is a shame because that effect could actually be very useful nowadays
That's the problem of bringing Anime-exclusive cards to the real game, you'll need to balance between keeping the cards faithful to the Anime ones and ensurering they don't break the game itself (specially back in the day when both Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon and Sorcerer of Dark Magic came out)
theduellogs in every single top 10 video : "at #10, we have arguably the best card of this list"
well yes i guess so
Not every top 10...... on the Top 10 Best something lists, he starts with the worst card on the list. :)
Best List ---------------Worst List
10 worst card--------10 best card
9 better than 10-----9 2nd best card
8 better than 9-------8 3rd best card
Lol he doesn't even say magician's defense works with magical hats
Me too
She may not be a good card but I still have a crush on Valkyria even more than the other magician girls.
They both cute
I run her at 3 she's great support
@@OzziePerez1988 yeah, doubt.
I think she's a card that deserves a retrain. If for no other reason than for fanservice. Call her Valkyria Magician Girl.
Silent Magician Best Girl
Ironically dark sage was actually used with sartorius in duel links for a hot minute since he had skill that makes the first 3 coin tosses are always heads along with cup of ace and time wizard XD more of a meme though but someone madman got KoG with it
I was one of the few Madmen who hit King of Games with that combo lol
Wait so you are telling me someone ran a dark magician with time wizard in a sartorious deck? And then got them on the field together? Wtf type deck is he running the barrel dragon or dark magician
I saw this going up against my stall deck lol if i had been using any other of my decks im sure i would have lost
Dark Magician Knight, aka, "Please just use Pankratops"
Pankratops isn’t searchable in a Dark Magician Deck unlike Knight’s Title.
At the very least, Knight doesn’t have to tribute himself.
@@brianaguilar8283 valid points, but after he pops a card, Knight does a whole lotta nothing
Brenneko Kapazioni he’s a beatstick? Being a warrior at least gives him access to good support as well.
@@brianaguilar8283 no don't defend this thing, it's awful even for the time it came out in and even with the searchable spell. You can't play him in either a warrior deck and you really don't want it in a DM deck because again, it doesn't benefit from any of the other DM cards
Alonso Ar I’ll defend it if I fucking want to. And I’m not saying it’s a good card. Just comparing it to another card that OP mentioned.
Top 10 Worst Tuners
Hardleg can you do a deck build challenge manga battle city style with JCD?
1. Ally Mind. A level 5 Vanilla Tuner that only exists because LORE!
Emissary from Pandemonium. Too high a level for a tuner + can't be special summoned
Fuckin' Lifestream dragon, why is it a tuner? If Konami doesn't want to let it have the anime effect because it is too good, then why keep its status as Tuner?
@@CrnaStrela Well that did help it out in the long run because NEEDLEFIBER!
despite Celtic Guardian being a lowly grunt monster, he was actually one of my favorite cards Yugi had because he had a really cool design IMO. He looks like Link from Zelda.
YouZettaSonsOfDigits That’s because his real name is “Elf Swordsman.”
You should try Obnoxious Celtic Guardian with Power Of The Guardians, can't be destroyed by battle with monsters that have more than 1900 atk+ destruction protection via spell counters+ potential atk/def gain every turn. Such a nifty combo for only two cards.
Celtic Guardian should have gotten more love.
Always loved Celtic Guardian.
imagine a toon celtic guardian! also I want a celtic archetype with a princess (zelda) and maybe a destroyer/evil king (ganondork)
another problem with dark magician knight: it's a warrior
Honestly if it also had an effect that said it was also treated as a spellcaster while in the hand/field/deck/graveyard ( i know thats alot but its already a bad card gta give it something lol) it might see some gimmicky success.
Of course it also really needs to be considered "Dark Magician" in the same situation but i think they purposely left that off the card. Then again if that card came out with the recent wave of support it might have had good effects and be able to be cheated onto the field somehow.
Dragon master knight was the first fusion monster that needed a fusion monster as a material.
In the anime, at least. It was released originally as a purchase bonus for buying the Japanese versions of what we in America know as "The Sacred Cards" back in July of 2002. As stated elsewhere in the chat, the first true Fusion Monster with that distinction was Rare Fish, released in 1999. However, Dragon Master Knight does have the distinction of requiring a Fusion Monster and a Ritual Monster, which at the time, were the two only alternate summoning types in the game.
Black Illusion also says “DM” on the shield, which I’d argue is an even more direct callout than the staff.
"i guess calling it not very good its kind of extreme"
*_it's just kind of mediocre"_*

I just realized that Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl were my first anime crushes. Come through bisexuality
I can’t blame you
Though the MD summon animation really flaunts it

Bond and Burning Magic are really hard to get an actual wincon out of, while just spamming Dragon Knight and XYZs actually kinda works
Thousand Knives is a little lackluster but Dark Magic Attack is really good. Also Robe is underrated.
14:07 What about the incredibly powerful Rare Fish?
It requires Fusionist.
You're right. It did predate Dark Flare Knight. Also, props for dredging that from the depths of memory. I'be mostly never thought much about the major or LOB and MRD fusions
@@DARobin-iv4tp both fusionist and rare fish used to be pretty good instant fusion targets.
WTF were they smoking that they thought that was a good call.

Man I remember sorcerer of dm being so rad when I was a kid.
Rhyseyr haha same. I had it when I was really young and didn’t know anything about Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I just thought it was the coolest card
Be was so handsome to me lmao, and Valkyria still the prettiest to meee
Man Sorcerer of Dark Magic super nostalgia as my combo card when trap cards were still a thing but yeah i agree summoning conditions were tough.
How about top 10 good monsters with bad summoning requirements
Venominaga would be in the top 10 easily. Give a card with its effect to a good deck, and it gets banned outright.

It kinda makes sense as in Japan it's not called DarK Magician but Black Magician
Magician's defence is great when u put it in a dark magician girl deck
Indeed.
Which others do you run? Chocolate? Apple? Kiwi? Lemon? I just got back into the game and have some of the old movie cards.
I liked the part when you talked about Dark Magician
Wait
Top 10 best 0 attack and defense card please. You are doing really great work!
"Sorcerer Of Dark Magic" goes well with Secret Village Of The Spellcasters.
Very true
Really enjoy the videos! Would be interested to see a top 10 video around the best or worst hand traps (or cards you can activate from the hand)
To be fair, Sorcerer of Dark Magic can allow your traps to function so there's that. Jinzo meanwhile needs a spellcard to let you do that.
Many years ago I ran casual deck that had Sorcerer of Dark Magic and Dark Paladin. One allowed me to negate and destroy spells, the other traps, both were big beat sticks. I also had a fairly high number of counter traps and other defensive cards to protect the one before I could bring out the other, since destruction by battle for one of those cards was unlikely. Magic jammer and seven tools of the bandit were my friends.
I had a spellcaster deck where I used to live but then they stole it...I had my favourite card in there Breaker the Magical Warrior
Roy
I used to have a spellcaster and dragon mix deck back in high school, then someone took it, eventually I got them back when I saw someone using those cards
Just found your videos, I love them they are so chill.
Been watching your videos for a little while now, and I enjoy your content. I haven't played the game since before pendulum summoning was introduced, but I like the nostalgia.
Any chance of you creating a top 10 list of Gladiator Beasts, or profile of them? They were my favorite deck in my playing days.
I feel like magic formula is best when you put it on Dark magician, then immediately fuse him. So you get a fusion monster and 1000 life points. I’m not saying it’s better than it actually is, but it’s just something I thought of.
Or you could use dian keto
Just a 1000 lifepoint boost card if used that way. And one that's usage is very circumstantial.
Plenty of cards that give far more life points easily whilst also providing other beneficial effects like that trap card that negates a attack and heals you matching the assailants atk.
@@Chris-jw8vm draining shield, but battle traps are garbage due to the fact that Spell Trap removal is an extremely common thing. Might work at a locals or if your opponent is having a bad day, that's it though. It's why the only traps that you really run are either Archetypal, Hand Activated, or stall cards like Threatening Roar.
Oh, if I remember correctly, in the anime Mirage Knight split itself into Dark Magician and Flame Swordsman after it banished itself. It easily could have done that but Konami were awful when it came to quality of life with these older cards. Shame, could have been a real fun thing to do.
Your top ten videos are so good!!! So much details!!! For more top 10 videos!!!
Another great video, one suggestion I have for you is using the older cards as the images - so using SDY Dark Magician instead of CT13 Dark Magician etc. :)
You can't just do Dark Magician and not do Blue-Eyes next, they also have plenty of... questionable, support.
Also pretty sure Rare Fish is the first fusion that requires another fusion as material, that thing came out in OCG vol. 3 way back in 1999.
@Charmiskit it is a terrible card.
It was designed to be anime moment inducing/memeish/just a casual use, for fun card.
Not Spirit and MAX.
Oh Rare Fish yeah I use that in my Number C73/C101 Turbo deck
Charmiskit you know that’s just a meme card right? It’s meant to create a scenario where you’d say “did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn?”
You’re right. Rare Fish is the first fusion monster to require a fusion monster as material.
Yeah, but their support is far better, although there are some cards that are pretty bad, like blue eyes shining dragon.
Sorcerer of dark magic is somewhat decent because 1: he can be used with magician of dark illusions and 2: he is a better Jinzo because he targets traps
No, jinzo is better traps cannot be even activated
Yôhānān Simeonidis Yeah. But with SoDM, you can still activate Traps, and it negates the Traps you choose to negate. Jinzo negates all of them.
@@baconcatsizzle yeah it is better only for you to let ur traps go but he cant negate some spell speed 4 traps
Just remember once per chain. So if opponent set mirror force and ring of destruction and activates them both in same chain, it's screwed like light and darkness dragon.
Royal Decree like effect
Great vid. And I would love to see you do blue eyes next
Mirage Knight needs Imperial Iron Wall to always be up and also, you know, be ran.
Unfortunately, PSCT for Mirage Knight makes him a Nomi. See the Yugi's World reprint.
Dark Sage would be really a great card as a fusion monster. You could retrain it to be Sage of Darkness as a fusion monster, with Dark Magician and Time Wizard as materials, then nerf its affect to only be able to search out certain spell cards. Example This cards name is treated as Dark Magician while on the field. When this card is fusion summoned add one spell card from your deck or gy to your hand that specifically mentions dark magician in it's text. You give the card the same stats as Dark Sage. So you get a more usable card that fits in its archetype and is the spiritual successor of Dark Sage, but isn't broken by being able to search out any spell card.
Your videos have actually rekindled my love for the game.
I love the music in your videos. What are the names? Thank you! Keep up the videos! They’re great!
As a Dark Magician player, I totally agree with everything you said in this video. Most of these cards have too many cons and drawbacks that makes them not worth it, especially when there are better cards.
I'm surprised that Neos Wiseman finally became a real card. Shame they decided to make it a normal effect monster instead of a fusion monster like in the anime.
Can you do a spell counter deck or top 10 spell counter cards? Great video!!
I’m like obsessed w these videos. I like hearing about how the cards are different and how they are the same as in the anime.
They really could’ve made DMG better. That’s the card that needs more support.
It got its own sub archetype called magician girl in 2016 if I'm not mistaken
@@Tomy_Lightning ive played with some of the cards. Doesn’t seem great but I’m also not the best player these days 😅
This is very unlikely, but since Dark Magician Girl's effect is based on Dark Magician and Magician of Black Chaos being in the graveyard, provided neither card is limited or banned, that means the highest Attack stat she can get is 5600, but ONLY if both you and your opponent have 3 Dark Magicians and 3 Magicians of Black Chaos in their graveyards. And the chances of that ever happening, is as unlikely as winning the lottery! Meaning if you're not playing a Dark Magician deck, then Dark Magician Girl is basically just a mediocre vanilla beatstick.
Eternal soul also allows you to summon dark magician from the hand as well
I know this wasn't on the list, but Dark Magic Curtain's TCG effect really disappoints me.
Since in the anime, it allowed you to summon any Spellcaster type monster, where as the TCG version only lets you summon Dark Magician.
could you make a top 10 best dark magicians cards also? your voice is awsome to hear and nice video!!!
I loved Dark Magician and played a Spellcaster deck with it when I played. I’d love to go through and purchase all of the Dark Magician archetype cards for a nostalgia collection
Is there any lore that explains why Dark Magician has been becoming increasingly blue in his artwork?
We are still waiting for that card
he's getting bluer and sadder every time he gets bad support cards
It's because Indigo is close to Black. The Sub name of Dark Magician explains this.
It's to differentiate the lore
The purple one is yugi's dark magician; mahad
Whilst the blue one is the tcg's dark magician; a stage magician that uses real magic in his shows and is related to the endymion cards
That's why cards used by yugi reference the purple one whilst tcg only cards have the blue one
@@noahmartinez38 We need more red Dark Magician cards.
Did not expect for this. But hey, nice list you've got there 🙂
I remember with Magic Formula I'd run it with Black Pendant and Magical Hats. That combo usually guaranteed I'd deal damage AND heal my Life Points that turn. It was a niche move when I could pull it off but it's one of the times I'd utilise it outside of boosting Dark Magician.
Miracle Restoring was intended for use with Pitch-Black Power Stone, but nowadays you could also use Citadel of Endymion.
Great breakdowns and reasonings, are you able to make a list of the best DM Cards as well?
And if you have the time, Neos Archetype, Stardust, and Warriors in general. Thank you for your consideration, and keep up the great critical analyses!
If you want to meme with Defusion Wave Motion you can use it with Exodios to attack number of times to instantly win the duel.
Good Luck pulling this off :p
Just thought i nention that
you can oull OTK with black garden, lOl.
Actually, for the Sorcerer of Dark Magic, it's currently a decent card, because they made it easier to special summon DM and DMG these days.
If Trap Cards were relevent it would be "decent", the 3200 body is not good enough for such an inconsistant -2.
@@Redpoppy80 Trap cards are still relevant. As easy as it is to bring nowadays I still wouldn’t confidently run it in a DM deck, since it easily bricks.
Only time traps are relevant, the situation would be you special summon your 2 DM monsters with navigation, then once they hit the field. They going to play a trap first before you can special summon to remove your monsters. Now you can't do what you wanted to do. A actual trap deck will stop you before you do what you want to do. Or you'll play a modern deck that doesn't use traps but maybe a few staples. (Ex impermanence or something like that)
Love the intro and on going music... feels like a creepy top 5s video...
Now I’m not sure of current rulings on this because I have only played casually. But I’ve used a lock combo where I attach a “ring of magnetism” to a spell caster while magician’s valkyria is face up forcing my opponent to rely on spell/trap cards to clear my board. Essentially the ring makes it so you can only attack the card equipped with it with the downside of losing 500Atk and Valkyria requires you to only it over any other spellcasters. So you can’t attack my monster with the ring equipped because it’s a spellcaster but also can’t attack Valkyria because of the effect of ring
Magicians Valkyria is amazing. I love whenever I get her lock in play. Tag it along with a WMC and you can get an easy OTK.
You should talk about the 10 worst Cyber Dragon Cards in YuGiOh since there are a lot of them and it is a popular deck
Nice vid DuelLogs!
@Duel Logs. I love your content, also I run 2 Magician's Valkerie and the lockdown does work. Worst case scenario I use it for Link Summoning or as a tribute for Illusion Magic. Plus she's cute :).
I think Dragon Master Knight may've been before Dark Flare Knight, if not in the tcg then in the anime and video games.
Used to have a Dark Magician themed deck in Duel Links.had a copy of knight, quickly replaced it with erradicator warlocks (who in a 4000LP ruling can be devastating)
Best thing of that deck was the robe, great Wall monster and could summon a DMag by discarding a spell/trap.
And he is meta worthy at the time I typed this comment..
Miracle Restoring was actually attached to the trap Pitch Black Power Stone, which starts with 3 counters and can move 1 to another card. Add in Magical Citadel of Endymion, and you can actually get counters quickly, and can use Miracle Restoring often. I used them in an old deck to get out Sorcerer of Dark Magic, as you can Special Summon it with Dark Magician, Endymion, and Chaos Sorcerer. This was before Synchros took off, so old, but interesting
Love these videos keep up the great job mam
I've actually played a Dark Sage deck, and have consistently gotten out Dark Sage. I actually successfully called the coin toss 3 times in one duel.
7:54 Exodius is a level 10 spellcaster that wins you the game if you attack 5 of your opponents monsters with it 🤔
finally. another exodius player.
I ran exodius in my exodia based deck actually went very well when I used a few good spells and traps to stall till I got his attack high enough to take down most monsters never tried to get all 5 pieces of exodia in my hand always got them in my graveyard for necros or exodius
Great vids TheDuelLogs! My archetype idea is a Seal of Orichalcos support deck. Monsters who gain effects if Seal is on the field or has been played during the current duel. Secondary Field spell that gains effects when "1 or more Seal of Orichalcos is in the graveyard" Please expound upon this if you think it may be an interesting idea. Much respect, take care.
I've used Diffusion Wave Motion to end the game several times.
Actually no, the first fusion monster that requires another fusion monster was Dragon Master Knight. Nice video man
You forgot Rare Fish.
TFOF Gaming my bad bro i guess that’s the one that I remember most
Technically Rare Fish is the first fusion monster that uses another fusion monster as material (Fusionist, ironically), but that card was only released in the TCG in 2016 for some really bizarre reason, as opposed to 1999 in OCG. But... Dark Flare Knight did have its moment back in pre-ban list days as a beatstick monster for use with Magical Scientist.
I love Dark Magician. I like this video. I been watching your videos for a while now and have a few questions. What does it mean when you say "prevents floating" what is floating and spell speed one?
Sorcerer of Dark Magic + Secret Village of the Spellcasters.
Have fun.

Magicians valkria is pretty good if you equip it with moon mirror shield.
Her being a level 4 light monster gives her ways to be special summoned anyways. So it’s not the worst support
Minus the fact you can just destroy her or MMS with a quick card. Most equips aren't really good because they're really vulnerable. Twin Twisters is one of if not the most played cards nowadays...
I'm glad you're feeling better already
Maybe you could do a top 10 on cards that could be made tons better by slightly changing its effect, barring summon requirements. Such as Dark Flare Knight can bring out Mirage Knight by tribute or if it's destroyed by any card effect.
For a while prisma with dark flare knight was a neat way of dumping a Dark Magician and getting a Dark magician on board but.... that combo is now somewhere in a dumpster fire
You should do Top 10 cards that negate Monsters, Spells, and Traps
I remember my favorite deck back in the day was a spellcaster stall/burn deck and one of the combos was Valkirae + a spellcaster equipped with ring of magnetism. It wasn't a good deck, but it was fun.
Some of this cards could be interesting skills in duel links, specially "Knight's Title" with "Dark Magician Knight", it would be like a twice per duel effect to add these 2 cards outside of your deck while having a face-up Dark Magician on the field
Are we going to pretend that Dark Illusion doesn't have "DM" engraved on it lol 😂😂
What would happen if you combined Mirage Knight with Imperial Iron Wall?
It still wouldn't be very good because that would take so much setup, but at least it wouldn't be half bad either...?
Just use Honest instead.
Use it with Honest!
I just found this channel recently and I fucking love it
About Dark Sage, the biggest issue with it you didn't even mention is that you tribute the Dark Magician ONLY to summon it, meaning Time Wizard stays on the field, in attack position most likely, with it's crap stats... If you are at around 3000LP or lower, then you are quite easily finished off once the turn switches.
Sorcerer of Dark Magic might combo well with a Silent Magician Deck
It's also amazing with fortune ladies. I use that combo in duel links.
I knew Dark Sage would be on there the second I saw the list
@@lynnmorgan5897 Yeah i think that's the joke haha
Well he is on the thumbnail
Great content as usual!! I wanna see a top 10 of the best harpie cards 😅would be amazing 😍😍
hey quick question did house of champs recommend you make this video?
"Protection effects aren't really good"
Wat... Man, those were the best back in the day. I don't think I'll ever be playing YGO! again, it's like s different game now
The sad thing is, each individual summoning mechanic could be its own format. It's just that Konami this time around is forcing players to use Links, because Yu-Gi-Oh really isn't as popular as it used to be (so naturally it's short on money), so they had to experiment with Synchros, XYZ, Pendulum, and Lunks. Though, the problem is: who the hell wants to play a glorified game of king-of-the-hill style solitaire? That's what Link summoning is.
It is also good to remember that a lot of the cards in these videos can be good in casual play. Magic Formula is one of my favourite cards in my Dark Magician deck just for the damage increase and the life gain, in a meta where damage is more important than over the top combos
With diffusion wave motion can u attack the same monster again if it can't be destroyed by battle? Or is it implied that all effects that state "can attack all monsters your opponent controls" have the restriction where they can only attack each monster once
I fucking love your vid’s man, best Yugi-tuber imo
I mean just use gagaga magician for sorcerer of dark magic
i run dark flare knight in my top 8 regional 2018 wcq dk magician deck list,but not the mirage
