Bro this is definately something we would like to keep seeing and also the hobby needs. From a casual, collector or investor prospective you explain not only the lore but the scarcity, price and community input these cards have which make it easy to know what to buy. Videos on blue eyes, red eyes and even time wizard would be amazing as each fit a good description and story to be told. As always thank you and great video
The DDS slander is real! For those that do not know. DDS was printed in very low quantities due to the game having to be pre ordered. We are talking quantities similar to 1st ed LOB. While SDY has way more printings. It should definitely be lob>dds>sdy
Thank you Strictly! As many others are saying, this is an amazing idea for a series. I've always looked for comprehensive lists of rarities and alt artworks for certain cards, and you've done a fantastic job here (no surprise). Keep up the hard work. You're videos keep us old school collectors interested, while introducing newer collectors to some awesome cards. We all appreciate it!
Yes, please continue!!! Blue eyes and red eyes next please! Loved the video and it was exactly what I was looking for! Your channel is my favorite for Yugioh content and has helped get me back into collecting 🎉
Yes absolutely do more of these! This is interesting, informative and can absolutely be a helpful guide for anyone looking to collect very specific yugioh cards.
This collector’s guide series is awesome! I’d love to see more, please! Especially Blue-Eyes as I am a Blue-Eyes collector myself. Still trying I get a Pharaoh Rare Blue-Eyes. Haha.
Great stuff, videos on these nostalgic cards/artwork will always get a watch from me and interesting to see some I wasn't aware of as a returning collector 👍
Man this is such a cool video, while watching I was going through my collection of DM to see if I have the right ones. you should do all the monster that has more then 2 art work would be cool to watch.
My friend is a sneakerhead and got the Yugi x Adidas collab and ended up selling me the card for like 20 bucks because he knows I collect. In person, that card is absolutely gorgeous. Konami really knocked it out of the park with this one. Great video like always SS, keep up the great work
I love how much detail you put into your videos when it comes to history and an experienced collector's perspective on value and collectability. It's crazy how just 1 ace monster can have so much collectability behind it. I would love to see a red eyes one because it's by far my favorite monster in ygo. Keep up the amazing videos!
Saved this video to my favorites! Just made me fall in love with my Dark Magician collection again. I have a lot of the heavy hitters but I didn't realize how many reprint variants there were
Wow! Thanks for making this video! It's amazing. I would love to see Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician Girl, and Red Eyes Black Dragon guides as well.
Definitely think this is a series to keep, I mean the next two episodes write themselves blues and red eyes then you can ark out. I just went and bought like 5 dark magicians so I thank you 😂 great vid!
Absolutely loved this! I'm a massive Dark Magician fan and collector and this gave me some insight as to what versions are more collectible. I would love to see vids like this for DMG, DMOC and the rest of the Dark Magician family and of course for Blue-Eyes
I like this video. I collect all dark magicians as well, the only ones I don't own are the DT previews and the OCG ones. After seeing that OCG ultimate rare, mabe I need to open up my horizons to collecting OCG cards, cuz that us beautiful.
Lovely video Omar, I'd love to see a similar break-down on collectable cards from OCG sets, or on promos overall in order of release year - could be a nice introduction series.
As a Dark Magician collector this video speaks volume to me about my expensive collection. I only collect dark magician cards released in the tcg. I own playsets of almost every dark magician cards released in the tcg (even the expensive ones such as DDS, RP01, 1st edition SDY, both BPT, Both Jump promos, etc), and all are near mint to mint condition. Right now I’m looking for a playset of LOB 1st edition Dark Magician near mint copies
Thanks for the reply. I might consider making a video but right now I’m still looking for more dark magician related cards. I might consider doing a video once a get a good camera
I’m starting my first ever dark magician collected as an OG fan who’s been inspired by these types of videos. My only issue is whether I should only collect dark magician cards with or without a PSA grading? Would really love some input as I’m really keen on getting started!
@jafarali1766 well it really depends on your budget. If you really want look for very high end copies of dark magician such as DDS or 1st edition North American SDY prints are extremely popular in terms of collectibility. You’ll have to be very cautious of buying those prints because finding a near mint condition will be difficult to find. I don’t know what is your budget but they’re also other alternatives if you don’t want to spend too much money
would love to see you expand on this series for other cards in the future. One future video could be about the cards drawn and signed by Kazuki Takahashi. I feel like there's enough cards in that category to dedicate a full episode about.
The JMPS-EN003 version of Dark Magician is actually the rarer version for the Kazuki Takahashi art work despite being a reprint. They were made in a smaller set than the JUMP version. It typically goes for more $ as well. I'd stay away from the JUMP version if possible between the two. This also applies to the JMPS version of the alternate art for Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which is a lot rarer than the JUMP version. JMPS was a very limited reprint of the JUMP cards, not as many copies were made. IMO they are the grail for the Kazuki Takahashi artwork cards because of how limited they were during production. Another interesting thing about that version of Dark Magician is that it is an alternate art for the white haired Arcana Dark Magician which most people don't realize.
Definitely a great type of video to the channel man, something like once a month would be perfect as it's a lot of information to take in. Maybe even 1 every 2 months. I would say you should do your favourite card of all time though, MAGICIAN OF BLACK CHAOS.
Bro!! This is a great idea of a series! I’d love to see you cover blue eyes and what you think is worth prioritizing or not! Especially for aspiring collectors like myself
This is going to be a series. I remember how daunting it was making my list and going through every rendition of the greats on the Wikis. Both EG and JPN as well as the other languages sometimes.
This is a great series if you can continue! Yugioh can be tough to navigate as a newer/returning collector given all the same cards being printed with different rarities over the years
Here's the document with all of the variants: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sq79lEDD7aVyPMnVfz8lYxs4XD1khZRc_CNEVTGP1T4/edit?usp=sharing Can use this to shop for them & support the channel: (Affiliate) ebay.us/wv7Ux4 If you're looking to order 25th anniversary product make sure you check out Hobbiesville.com they have the cheapest prices, 0 taxes and you get 5% off if you use Strictly5.

I agree, why does Konami love the tablet artwork of blue eyes and dark magician so much. Even the new Starlight I mean quarter century rare on those won’t make me like them And imo this is a great series, would love to see more cards. I think it’s great for people who are just getting back into it or just starting collecting
I litterally started collecting all the blue eyes after watching your Blue-eyes version of this video and now I am about to start one for DM. Please make more videos like this
please do more of this series. I loved the vid my boi 🔥 and when ya get a chance maybe do a red eyes black dragon video for this series. Its my favorite card of all time 🔥
I’ve always wanted to start a dm collection and finally started last month after seeing this. Found a volume 1 dark magician lightly played being sold as a 20th anniversary. Had no Anubis stamp and everything checked out. Got it for a steal as well as a ghost rare dm. Love this video man
I love watching your videos man, informed and the analysis given by you are top notch. keep it up and cant wait to watch more informative video on yugioh card game!
Great series - please continue it! Do you plan to talk about other JUMP or JMPS - Promos like the God Cards and how the reprints hurt the value of some beautiful Kazuki Takahashi Artworks? That would be awesome, keep up the good work!
I bought a Vol.1 Dark Magician from Japan last year and had to settle for one with a little playwear as the minters were hundreds of pounds to import. Mine looks perfect in a binder but it does have some scratches and surface issues when viewed raw. The PCY prismatic is one of my other favourites as the foiling looks so good and the card stock is fantastic. The Duel Power art is indeed excellent. I picked up a secret rare OCG copy for pretty cheap and highly recommend it 👍
You should do red-eyes black dragon next. Would love to see it
Red eyes was always my Favorite so I really hope he does
Yes
I agree keep making these. These are sick
X3
Oh man I agree
Bro this is definately something we would like to keep seeing and also the hobby needs.

Time Wizard is my Nigga
The DDS slander is real! For those that do not know. DDS was printed in very low quantities due to the game having to be pre ordered. We are talking quantities similar to 1st ed LOB. While SDY has way more printings. It should definitely be lob>dds>sdy
yea, i love me some dds
Actually think it's easily one of the best looking dark magicians out there...def top 3 for me
I love the BPT-001 so badass. Also just picked up a Adidas DM!
Thank you Strictly! As many others are saying, this is an amazing idea for a series. I've always looked for comprehensive lists of rarities and alt artworks for certain cards, and you've done a fantastic job here (no surprise). Keep up the hard work. You're videos keep us old school collectors interested, while introducing newer collectors to some awesome cards. We all appreciate it!
Really nice video man. I hope this pops off and you make more of these.
Yes, please continue!!! Blue eyes and red eyes next please! Loved the video and it was exactly what I was looking for! Your channel is my favorite for Yugioh content and has helped get me back into collecting 🎉
Yes absolutely do more of these! This is interesting, informative and can absolutely be a helpful guide for anyone looking to collect very specific yugioh cards.
As a Poke Collector… you’re the reason I started my high end Yugi binder for all the nostalgia! Love your videos! They’re all so educational
Absolutely well done video! Was quite a fun watch; definitely a series worth continuing
Awesome video, more like this please. and how do you animate de card images?
This collector’s guide series is awesome! I’d love to see more, please! Especially Blue-Eyes as I am a Blue-Eyes collector myself. Still trying I get a Pharaoh Rare Blue-Eyes. Haha.
Great video! It's awesome to have this information all In one place
Love this video!! Gotta do more of these!!
Great series idea. Please do more with more iconic cards
Great stuff, videos on these nostalgic cards/artwork will always get a watch from me and interesting to see some I wasn't aware of as a returning collector 👍
Bro i love how you don't give any Fluff
I love this type of series bro, I learn so much about collecting from you. More OCG lore!
Dark Magician is why I got into Yugioh and why I stay collecting. Love this vid!
I'd love to see more of these guide videos. Perfect balance of informative and entertaining.
Would love more videos like this!
Man this is such a cool video, while watching I was going through my collection of DM to see if I have the right ones.

Its Slifer for me. Would love a version for him.
these types of videos are amazing! id definitely love to see more! keep it up!
This is an awesome style of video, would love to see more of this series!
I also would love to see a Toon Dark Magician which I was also released in Toon set together with dark Magician girl.
My friend is a sneakerhead and got the Yugi x Adidas collab and ended up selling me the card for like 20 bucks because he knows I collect. In person, that card is absolutely gorgeous. Konami really knocked it out of the park with this one. Great video like always SS, keep up the great work

It's crazy how just 1 ace monster can have so much collectability behind it. I would love to see a red eyes one because it's by far my favorite monster in ygo. Keep up the amazing videos!
Quality work, my man! Love the comprehensive view. Would definitely love to see more of these.
Saved this video to my favorites! Just made me fall in love with my Dark Magician collection again. I have a lot of the heavy hitters but I didn't realize how many reprint variants there were
Thank you for this. I've been collecting dark magician for like 2 years now

Definitely keep this series going. What happened to the video where you were going to explain “EN” ?
This was an absolutely fantastic video as always Omar!

I like this video. I collect all dark magicians as well, the only ones I don't own are the DT previews and the OCG ones. After seeing that OCG ultimate rare, mabe I need to open up my horizons to collecting OCG cards, cuz that us beautiful.

Awesome vid. That ulti dm in the ocg looks sick
Please do this for other cards and make a playlist - this is awesome just getting intonyugioh again
Have a playlist on the channel. Thanks for viewing the videos.
YES! please do more vid like this. very useful for new collectors. dark magician girl and dark paladin would be awesome.
Great Video, please Bring us more awesome Content Like this. My Dark Magician Collection will definetly grow after watching this Video
Definitely keep doing this series! Love it!
Great video. Definitely continue the series.
Love this series! Extremely entertaining and good content for collector. Would be nice for other big cards too

What about the 1st ed Maximum Gold version? They look pretty cool with the original print, especially being gold.
Perfect time for this video. Just got back into collecting and this is just what I was looking for.
Definitely a great type of video to the channel man, something like once a month would be perfect as it's a lot of information to take in. Maybe even 1 every 2 months. I would say you should do your favourite card of all time though, MAGICIAN OF BLACK CHAOS.
Bro!! This is a great idea of a series! I’d love to see you cover blue eyes and what you think is worth prioritizing or not! Especially for aspiring collectors like myself
Thank you. I'm a huge Dark Magician fan and collector. Really appreciate this.
Would love this to become a series. Keep up the work Omar
We still craving that promo binder update video :D
This is going to be a series. I remember how daunting it was making my list and going through every rendition of the greats on the Wikis. Both EG and JPN as well as the other languages sometimes.
This is a great series if you can continue! Yugioh can be tough to navigate as a newer/returning collector given all the same cards being printed with different rarities over the years
I'd love to see more of this, specially a DMG one.
love the video, do blue eyes or dark magician girl next!
Please do Dark Paladin next! The ultimate magical warrior! Aka the dragon slayer. 😈

Omar, I think you missed 1 Dark Magician Mega Tin art, there was an Ultra Rare version released in Yugi’s Collector Box
Dark magician DOR-S002 (Spanish) can be a cheaper alternative for DDS 😊
As someone who wants every DM in every artwork and rarity for each, this video is GOATED. Thank you!
Please continue the series this is amazing!
I agree, why does Konami love the tablet artwork of blue eyes and dark magician so much. Even the new Starlight I mean quarter century rare on those won’t make me like them
And imo this is a great series, would love to see more cards. I think it’s great for people who are just getting back into it or just starting collecting
This is an incredible concept that I would LOVE To see made into a series.
you deserve a million subs bro, keep grinding!!
I litterally started collecting all the blue eyes after watching your Blue-eyes version of this video and now I am about to start one for DM. Please make more videos like this
Nice video, so much input for new collectors, keep do more videos like this.
Really enjoyed this video, would love to see more
This is a cool video idea. Thanks for this!
Thanks for the video, I was looking for the missing artworks for my collection
Unreal video man! Love this series
Would love to see more of this series!
I loved it, you should do more
What an epic video man. Thank you creating this I'd love to see a Red-Eyes video on this same topic.
Yoo this vid was crazy, can you make one about Blue Eyes and Red Eyes too please? I'd 100% watch both! Love you man!! Edit: And DMG too ofc
please do more of this series. I loved the vid my boi 🔥 and when ya get a chance maybe do a red eyes black dragon video for this series. Its my favorite card of all time 🔥
Bro this would come handy a year ago when I got back into Yugioh.
I'm down to continue this series, I really liked this video
I really like the ghost rare of this card, extreamly expensive of course but i don’t why many people don’t like the ghost ones… gorgeous in my opinion
I’ve always wanted to start a dm collection and finally started last month after seeing this. Found a volume 1 dark magician lightly played being sold as a 20th anniversary. Had no Anubis stamp and everything checked out. Got it for a steal as well as a ghost rare dm. Love this video man
Make more videos like this on other cards very cool !
This video was very informative Man! Thank you for the information. Keep up the good work God bless!
I've a binder dedicated to every dark magician ever printed in the tcg, gon be expensive
I love watching your videos man, informed and the analysis given by you are top notch. keep it up and cant wait to watch more informative video on yugioh card game!
Great series - please continue it! Do you plan to talk about other JUMP or JMPS - Promos like the God Cards and how the reprints hurt the value of some beautiful Kazuki Takahashi Artworks? That would be awesome, keep up the good work!
Would love to see this become a series. Blue Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician Girl, Red Eyes Black Dragon, maybe?
Rush Duel DM is also a awesome one to collect and dont cost so much
Dark magician > BEWD any day for me. It's my favourite card. I agree with BPT being stunning. The reverse variant is even more insane.
Hi, this kind of video is awesome.
Don’t hesitate to share more 😊
Amazing Video, this should be a series for Blue Eyes, Dark Magician Girl
Thank you for this video! I’m getting back into collecting YuGiOh cards myself, more so for the artwork, lol. This video is super informative!
Great video! Just to note there's an Ultra Rare Dark Magician YUCB-EN001 with same artwork to CT14-EN001 if you cant afford the Secret Rare
Cool idea for a series, nice video!!
I bought a Vol.1 Dark Magician from Japan last year and had to settle for one with a little playwear as the minters were hundreds of pounds to import. Mine looks perfect in a binder but it does have some scratches and surface issues when viewed raw.
The PCY prismatic is one of my other favourites as the foiling looks so good and the card stock is fantastic.
The Duel Power art is indeed excellent. I picked up a secret rare OCG copy for pretty cheap and highly recommend it 👍
Blue eyes next please 🙏🏼❤️
please continue this series! Would love to see one on red-eyes!
