Hope you enjoy the video! If you'd like me to experiment with any engines you may have in mind or if you'd like me to make a more in depth video on any engines you see here, please let me know!
Im a casual player but can you try soul servant send pharaonic advent to grave. Send two traps/spells to grave that being magic defense to revive pharaonic advent. either have dugares revive him, magic defense or play chaos phantasm to copy him and use itself as fodder. Then take tyrant throes and use navi to revive 2 dark magicians to lock opponent.. it aint competitive but maybe you can create or add cards that it might.. its fun to lock them and have eternal soul to revive dark magicians and link ladder to tenyi.. add in apophis to negate and have extra normal monster.. add in magical hats to create 2 normal summons for tyrant throes while sending traps like navi, magic defense etc to grave and revive dark magician and lock opponent.. its stylish and fun for content but it aint competitive 😂 add one aremasir adventure cont spell is fun too. Or shadow light magician soul to summon effect veiler to sychro summon formula and get a draw.. with magicians rod negated you can still synchro summon into junk speeder.. deck dont have much space but its nice to pull out 5 synchrons tuner and create something thinking your DM deck is done.
Magician of chaos can revive pharaonic to get skill drain if you dont have the cards to lock with throes.. just wondering if you might have some ideas to make it a lil bit better.. DM deck is just bricky.. magical hats works well but you have to wait for them to attack.. yea its not competitive but its fun 😂 i play in masterduel and its sad that some cards are not there yet like chaos maxx. And dragoon is banned which is sad lol.. and so in other dm deck i replace it with rainbow neos not that it has same effect but like an instant boss monster. add verte and 1 neos fusion with dark rainbow dragon since you can summon it if you hv 7 dark monster and since its a dragon, and elemental neos is warrior for dark calvary.. if not rainbow neos .. i use dpe using vision hero witch raider and destiny hero denier.. if not for banned cards I could use better cards lol
Qardan is nice to add to reuse cont traps but just is hard to search coz vernuslyph awakenjng locks you from using non earth effects. Magical hats really fits coz you can use it for thyrant throes, search any graveyard effects and if you use it on apophis you can reuse the negate.. graveyard effects like mound to search divines, magic def to revive 2 spellcaster and tribute summon sliffer easy. Z-one to regain any field spell. Break through skill for monster negate.. navi for spell trap negate if you hv Dm on board. Its just fun..🎩 🐇 🧙♀️ hahaha
Yugi didn't have many dark magician cards in the show, he had cards that went with it. That's why I think it's good komoney is finally slowing down with the archetype BS and going more towards engines that work well with many decks and more staples...
As someone who's been playing tellarknights competitively, I always tell my viewers that the deck needs help and can't do it alone anymore, which is why I added superheavy. So yea I deeply respect and understand you
This is an excellent video! I’ve recently started playing locally and I’ve been struggling to keep up. I’ll definitely give some of these a try. Cheers!!
Damm you open eyes , i only thought there was only 2 different engines you can play dark magician. Dope video you gave me some good ides for playing dark magician
Great video Matchie! Loving it as per usual! I've been testing Adventure in some variations of DM as well. Next up will be DM Adventure Diabellestar. Not sure if there's synergy there yet or not but could be some spice... or not! We'll see! Awesome work man keep it up!
Double iris, black fang, purple poison, harmonizing Magician, along with a shit ton of draw power. Now the draw power is insane, I can theoretically draw up to 13 cards. Not counting searching for others.
The only way I'd ever run eternal souls is with something like defense zone and field barrier but in all the cases I looked into it's too many cards just to protect 1 trap....
try shadows light on dark magician deck.. you can fusion summon more often than expected. Magicians rod always gets negated anyway.. but with shadows light you can still fusion summon, synchro, xyz, and link summon.. and an extra normal summon. So use shadow light on magician rod and special summon minerva, lightsworn maiden.. it is so versatile coz depending on situation you can go different paths.. you can synchro summon into muddymud dragon. Then you can fusion summon into dragoon, dragon knight, dark magicians, invoked caliga, etc.. skys the limit.. if you need a draw you go for dark magicians but you can go stardust charge warrior.. combo it with top share and you can use traps right away.. you can search and use anything from your deck.. with triple tactics thrust you can search shadows light and top share easily. You can use destined rivals and negate all monsters with that combo. Invoked caliga is underated too.. shadows light is so versatile you can summon mahad easily and set up to synchro summon chaos angel. Chaos archfiend with dark magician and effect veiler. Magician souls and effect veiler into formula synchron.. you can go xyz level 3s if you need negates, destroy etc. You can go link as well. But the fusion with muddy dragon is insane coz they wont expect it. Im still looking for more lines and I haven’t mention all the things i found but I felt its super good going first. Its biggest drawback us that you cant attack for that turn..
Ohh you can go muddy dragon to lubellion then once its in the graveyard you can use it again to summon dark magicians or mirrojade or dragoon sadly we dont have dragoon in master duel.. or can combo into albion and fusion summon another set depending what ever is on grave.
It even works with predaplants even it doesn’t specific name coz he fits as a dark monster. Provided that other monser should be dark too. Nice targets are purgatrio to boardwipe, dragoon/ mechaba for negates, caliga -flood gate
I made “branded illusions magicians + shaddoll” Chimera, branded, dm cores & winda package that you can sub out for super poly cards/more going second cards if need. my creation is beautiful. So many starters, so many routes. Doing chimera plays, got ashed? Go branded route and so forth. Out of 7 games I only bricked I believe twice. The board I’ve ended on is Winda, dragoon, luluwal, chimera king of etc etc, Mirrorjade. With chimera fusion card set, and 3 cards in hand for draw/pop with guardian chimera. Most of the time tho is chimera of etc etc, dragoon, winda, lulu. Fixing ratios and testing took a hot minute but man was it worth.
Yo Matchie i loved the Deck Profil from YCS Vancouver! I have been testing out That build over Last Weeks with mixing in nadir Servent, Ecclesia and fleurdelis. Garura und Entys in the Extra doing some work going 1. or2. Also synergices pretty Well with Lulluwalith und Secret Village in the Main.I had to cut the books und Nib. But feels like ash und Secret Village is enough for the Main . The consistency is much better, as there are more powercard to do Some crazy stuff. Please keep going with these nice videos!🫡🫶
I’m thinking about diabellestarr because she is lv7 spellcasters monster and also drnm’s counter We now can use diabellestarr as a new adventure engine
@MatchieYGO , what are you thoughts on the new dm support coming this november/december? how do you think it'll change up your strategy with the albaz and cartesia engine?
@@MatchieYGO fair enough. I myself am kinda nervous as I heard it will be ritual centred. (Btw, my deck is a carbon copy of yours haha. I have a lot of fun playing it, so thank you!)
Yeah little knight will be so good i dm if this card hits master duel, i cant stress enough how many time i ended my board on magician soul and rod on first turn.
Hello, I really liked your Branded version that you brought to YCS, I have a pure version of Dark Magician and I would like to incorporate the Branded engine and little by little I have put it together, but for economic reasons😅 I haven't been able to get the Duality or the Granguignol 😅So I wanted to ask you what is a good option to replace those cards while I get what I need.? Thank you For your help and thank you for your content, it is very good and thank you for sharing your opinion and experiences with the DM community 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Unfortunately duality can’t be replaced it’s part of the blazing granguional engine but what you can do is replace it with a whole other engine till you do complete it
I know this is still a pretty new video but I saw in another comment you were still looking at agov stuff too. Would you recommend the branded engine as still being the best to pair competitively? I'm just getting back in to paper play recently and trying to figure out what to spend my money on. Thanks!
Absolutely. I think the branded engine is far and away the best way to play the deck at its highest level. Other engines are nice, fun and can even see results, but branded offers the deck significantly more going into what the format is right now :) Hope this helps
@MatchieYGO it does thanks for the fast reply. Are you still preferring the same tech cards from your ycs video? I'm building up my paper collection from scratch basically so are things like duality and Fenrir still cards you are planning on running or were those more situational based on what you expected to see at Vancouver? Just looking for general ideas and feedback thanks for whatever you'd want to tell me!
@@h2owiththepower that’s a question I don’t have an answer for just yet. As things stand, I think the tech slots and discussions remain the same as they were pre-Vancouver, however a new set that is format altering is set to drop in a week, so things are due to change. What those changes are, I don’t know yet until I do more testing and theory. I will say to expect a video either this week or next with an updated deck profile.
4:14 I mean if you want DM to succeed then you have limit the DM cards in your deck, most DM support isn't good enough to help it in tournaments. Apart from that I still play some of the DM support coz I'm not a competitive player haha.
100% agree with you vision of DM and also imo Branded pack works the best cause it supports and gives more strenght to DM deck. And i enjoy running a DM Slifer deck not ther best or YCS worthy but its a lot of fun! Keep up with DM vid brother!
I’m working in a Dark Magician-Adventurer version, and in my opinion there is no place for Magicians Rod there, because of the Rite of aramesir. What it works for me is playing floodgates like Secrer village, or skill drain. I know branded is the strongest way to play this deck but some reason it doesn’t feel right to me, at least not fun.
I agree with you there. The video doesn’t showcase how is play the deck exactly, it was just to give an idea and explain as to why it’s a viable option
Honestly handtraps are the worst thing you can put in a DM deck, playing it pure DM without handtraps and other potential bricks has enough recycling and effect spamming power like destruction, banishing and drawing. Most ppl I play against surrender pretty fast after 2 negates didnt stop me and I still get 2-3 fusion summons or a a full board with boss monster alongside PO Mahad. Something doesnt get competetive just bc you throw in a bunch of handtraps and negates that don't even synergize with the rest of your deck.. The DM cards are already op, the real problem lies in some decks that can't even be stopped with 5 negates and proceed to still get out their biggest boss monster. Gotta go for a massive OTK wave or its basically over no matter what you play at this point in comp
I wish Circle and Eternal Soul were more competitive, because I love them on a conceptual level. I appreciate this breakdown though, because it’s important to take our DM more seriously.
Maybe swap out DMG for Palladium Mahad.. same draws but better card. I use play odd eyes arc ped dragon as my normal dragon...with small pen package for vortex dragon
The palladium monsters imo are just as bad as DMG, however having the dark magicians as a fusion monster is needed and DMG can unbrick a lot of hands by being able to be used as material for TDM’s which paired with soul servent is a draw 3 which is nice. It just holds a little more value than the palladium monsters
I have seen alot ppl even a youtuber play this deck but man its a ass build Kashtira deck its just smash 2 decks on top cause they are lvl 7 decks thats it no support what so ever.
Honestly, i don't think using DM as an engine is wrong. But the one thing i disagree with is about the identity of DM being "maximize Dragoon". The deck was never about setting up interruptions either, it was more about chipping away at the opponent's board with removal while winning the advantage war in a slow grindgame using monsters and backrow that are hard to remove. In fact DM with Ethernal Soul + Dragon Knight has an excellent grindgame, even though it might not be enought by itself. The decks with the branded engine don't have this type of playstyle and look more like branded + a Dragoon turbo engine than DM to me, and i think they work more because Branded Fusion itself is busted than because of actual synergy. This is not to say the ideas you showed were not on point. In fact i think they maximize Dragoon's potential way better that pure DM ever will. It's just that if i'm going to go out of my way to play a DM deck i'd like to play with it's original playstyle, as bad as it might be. Otherwise i might as well play just Branded. But i'm just a casual player who does not care to lose some of my games, and this is just my own opinion. Sorry if i wrote an essay for you.
I’m a huge Dark Magician fan and been paying the deck for years till now but I have to this you the deck doesn’t achieve much, cards are too slow, not enough combo to recover if you get handtrap. It’s a fun deck though.
@@rez-1270 On the deck list. The branded package is only running one lubellion so once its used then you have no DM any more... Or they prevent you from even using lubellion. From the list, thats the only card you can use to bring back DM. I think if you're only running one DM then there isn't a point in running DM at all cause in most games you'd be relying on the engine to win as bystials are in almost all side decks unless they are being use in the main deck.
@@rez-1270 The base are the two engines... I'm saying the base should have two DM's in it as bystials are still very prevalent in the current meta. The other 14 main deck cards and 3 extra deck cards are left for tech choices. Obviously its not a full deck, anyone could tell you that.
@@colonelcider8292 You do like repeating yourself dont ya, so im not playing the same 1 to 1 ratio as he showed im playing more ways getting my DM out the GY and banish zones you dont have to copy and paste everything you see!
Eternal soul is a pretty bad card. Ik it was ok when it came out but losing your entire field to a cosmic cyclone makes the deck worse. Not to mention that summoning the regular dark magician from the hand or gy isnt even that good
I think DMG is an unnecessary card. It serves no purpose, particularly in this deck. Rather, put 2 DMs in the deck. If you gonna keep DMG, I would suggest you put in Magicians combination. I would even say it's necessary if you are running DMG.
Thing is, Combination is a brick in itself. An unnecessary one. You need DMG on field or in grave and a DM in grave or on the field which is what makes it pretty useless. 1 DMG n 1 DM is good because soul servant basically becomes pot of greed for dm
@infamousof3008 it doesn't need to be in your grave. It can be in your hand as well. Yes, it's a brick if you don't have DM and DMG, but at least it's a nice negate and it makes your opponent think twice about destroying it because one of their cards would be destroyed as well. But like I said, I'd only add it because DMG is in the deck, so it's a nice card to include. 2 DMs will serve the same purpose as 1 DM and 1 DMG for soul servant's draw effect. DMG isn't necessary at all because this deck doesn't have and magic or trap cards that require both of them, not even the dark magicians fusion actually needs DMG. It's a really pointless card to include, but if one insists on including DMG, might as well play combination as well.
Hope you enjoy the video!

My man said, "God speed to you." Love it 😂😂
Somebody needed to say this, the circle soul triangle is too slow and no card should destroy your whole front row on destruction.
Cookin. Such a stupid downside. Forces you to set up dragon master which is 9x out of 10 the wrong play.
Facts
Everyone has- sorry, everyone who play play the deck has been saying it.
Dm players know what they are getting into. Just hope the opponent doesn't read my cards lol
@tobiasroberts7898 except it's always the right play because Yugioh players don't read.
I'm playing Dark Magician since 2002 and i can say with all that Supports and Engines that came up im all that Years, Pure is the most Fun for me.
Yugi didn't have many dark magician cards in the show, he had cards that went with it. That's why I think it's good komoney is finally slowing down with the archetype BS and going more towards engines that work well with many decks and more staples...

My man is the GOAT, Diabellestar list might be fun?
It looks like it could be crazy! I wana test it more before posting anything i know nothing about haha
This video was amazing and definitely worth watching
I honestly love content like this
Got back into the game bc of u, love the videos
Nothing makes me happier, than reading comments like this! Thanks for the support :)
Me too. I've been away from the game for about 8/9 years then I ran into your videos
Dawg, literally🤣🤣 went out bought a whole dm branded deck and some other shyt i couldn’t afford as a kid! & matchie cold as hell too fr fr
Nice video! Hope u keep going in the YCS road! Imma cheer again in Indianapolis, if u participate ofc
Bystial DM player here. Appreciate the shout-out.

Still love the content dude ! You have inspired me again! I wish I could edit as well as you!
Appreciate the kind words!
Dude I love your vids, finally was able to play with DM thanks to it. Thank you
Love how you see the engine rn
Love your videos man! Do you think you could do try and make dark magician comoetitive in master duel too??
I’m looking into it! Maybe in the near future I’ll put a master duel decklist together
keep up to great work Matchie! thanks for leading the way for us DM players!
Great video Matchie; could you make a video giving us your take on Red-Eyes engine for Dark Magician? Cheers!
Would you please share a full deck list of the DM/Branded deck? Main and extra
That list is all over my channel :) check out the deck I took to YCS Vancouver and then the combo video to explain how it plays
I wish Dragoon was playable in MD
Great video Matchie! Loving it as per usual! I've been testing Adventure in some variations of DM as well. Next up will be DM Adventure Diabellestar. Not sure if there's synergy there yet or not but could be some spice... or not! We'll see! Awesome work man keep it up!

You dont even need the fusion cards in deck to fusion summon out of theme fusions like caliga or fallen albaz.
It even works with predaplants even it doesn’t specific name coz he fits as a dark monster. Provided that other monser should be dark too. Nice targets are purgatrio to boardwipe, dragoon/ mechaba for negates, caliga -flood gate
I made “branded illusions magicians + shaddoll”
Chimera, branded, dm cores & winda package that you can sub out for super poly cards/more going second cards if need. my creation is beautiful. So many starters, so many routes. Doing chimera plays, got ashed? Go branded route and so forth. Out of 7 games I only bricked I believe twice. The board I’ve ended on is
Winda, dragoon, luluwal, chimera king of etc etc, Mirrorjade. With chimera fusion card set, and 3 cards in hand for draw/pop with guardian chimera.
Most of the time tho is chimera of etc etc, dragoon, winda, lulu.

Love to hear that!! I’ve been tinkering with it over the last few weeks, hoping to make a post AOV profile soon :)
i just play masterduel. we dont have dragoon. is there any way to make a similarly capable decklist without dragoon?
Which two engines would be the easiest to smokescreen from the side deck with?
Thank you for the Video! 😍 My favorit is the Branded Engine.
What is the name of the program you use to test and create the Decks?
Hmmm, very interesting stuff my dude! Maybe I'll add 1 Quem and 2 Aluber to Branded Dark Magician to see how it goes 🧙♂️
Is it possible to run the Branded dogmatika build without Duality? Also have you tried Chimera with DM?
You just gotta ask yourself. Do you wanna play dm like yugi or arkana?
Hey is it possible to play the Dogmatika engine with your branded fusion blazing cartesia engine together ?
Your video is clearly well thought out and well made, but it could be ultimately summarized as "just play Albaz/Runick lol"
I’m thinking about diabellestarr because she is lv7 spellcasters monster and also drnm’s counter
We now can use diabellestarr as a new adventure engine
Im still in the middle of testing it, I didn’t want to showcase an engine I’m not familiar with :) but if I think it’s great, I’ll def try it out
Dogmatika is top tier for ONE reason alone…”Dog Magician! Use Bark Magic Attack!”
What app / website are you playing on (in the gameplay) ?
I really like the Water Enchantress and DM can you go more in depth with it. Thanks.
Hey matchie love your content. Did you ever try to integrate mask change 2 to the deck?
Can you show a deck list of DM branded bsytail?
@MatchieYGO , what are you thoughts on the new dm support coming this november/december? how do you think it'll change up your strategy with the albaz and cartesia engine?

What's the game you're using. I'm trying to get back to yugioh and want to test out decks.
would you play dark magician diabellstar??

I agree with you there. The video doesn’t showcase how is play the deck exactly, it was just to give an idea and explain as to why it’s a viable option
@@MatchieYGO very nice vídeo by the way. 👌
@@franciscogutierrez1082 thank you for the kind words and support :)
Let's go
what yu gi oh game series is this game?
I personally feel like you only need 1 Rod and Artemis in the extra for Road recursion.
Killer content as usual
If S.P. knight is going to be so good do you still think branded is the strongest engine to with DM?
Thanks for the support!
Not sure yet. I’m branded DM as things stand probably not if I’m honest
What game is this
Which Yugioh game is this? what is the name of the application ?
I like DM Kashtira
The most fun I had playing DM was with Branded Slifer and return of the sky god. It was super inconsistent but when it worked it was amazing.
I use windwitches in mine..... 😅
Honestly handtraps are the worst thing you can put in a DM deck, playing it pure DM without handtraps and other potential bricks has enough recycling and effect spamming power like destruction, banishing and drawing. Most ppl I play against surrender pretty fast after 2 negates didnt stop me and I still get 2-3 fusion summons or a a full board with boss monster alongside PO Mahad.
Something doesnt get competetive just bc you throw in a bunch of handtraps and negates that don't even synergize with the rest of your deck..
The DM cards are already op, the real problem lies in some decks that can't even be stopped with 5 negates and proceed to still get out their biggest boss monster.
Gotta go for a massive OTK wave or its basically over no matter what you play at this point in comp
Man, I wish this was setup for Master duel. They banned Dark Dragoon there
I wish Circle and Eternal Soul were more competitive, because I love them on a conceptual level. I appreciate this breakdown though, because it’s important to take our DM more seriously.
Appreciate the comment! Yeah! I wish most of our DM support was viable
Maybe swap out DMG for Palladium Mahad.. same draws but better card. I use play odd eyes arc ped dragon as my normal dragon...with small pen package for vortex dragon
The palladium monsters imo are just as bad as DMG, however having the dark magicians as a fusion monster is needed and DMG can unbrick a lot of hands by being able to be used as material for TDM’s which paired with soul servent is a draw 3 which is nice.
It just holds a little more value than the palladium monsters
I’m currently testing out dark magician Kashtira and I’ve won a good amount games with this build
I'm trying to make that very deck. Gotta shoot me a deck.
I have seen alot ppl even a youtuber play this deck but man its a ass build Kashtira deck its just smash 2 decks on top cause they are lvl 7 decks thats it no support what so ever.
The correct answer is World Chalice.
I been beaten top tier with dark magician budget since 2019 and people are still not happy.
Definitely can't please everyone 👍
Am I the only one who’s confused on how to get shadolls out with 1 being in the deck engine
Honestly, i don't think using DM as an engine is wrong. But the one thing i disagree with is about the identity of DM being "maximize Dragoon". The deck was never about setting up interruptions either, it was more about chipping away at the opponent's board with removal while winning the advantage war in a slow grindgame using monsters and backrow that are hard to remove. In fact DM with Ethernal Soul + Dragon Knight has an excellent grindgame, even though it might not be enought by itself. The decks with the branded engine don't have this type of playstyle and look more like branded + a Dragoon turbo engine than DM to me, and i think they work more because Branded Fusion itself is busted than because of actual synergy. This is not to say the ideas you showed were not on point. In fact i think they maximize Dragoon's potential way better that pure DM ever will. It's just that if i'm going to go out of my way to play a DM deck i'd like to play with it's original playstyle, as bad as it might be. Otherwise i might as well play just Branded. But i'm just a casual player who does not care to lose some of my games, and this is just my own opinion. Sorry if i wrote an essay for you.
Totally fair take and opinion! Thanks for the comment! Love the passion :)
MATCHIE DROPPED HAPPY MF FRIDAY!!!💫💫💫💫💫
Konami Dropped a $1000 platinum dark magician but cant give the community some decent support……
someone said to me: if dragoon unbanned, rod dont use to normal summon anymore XD
I’m a huge Dark Magician fan and been paying the deck for years till now but I have to this you the deck doesn’t achieve much, cards are too slow, not enough combo to recover if you get handtrap. It’s a fun deck though.
I think you have to at least run 2 dark magicians just so you don't immediately lose to bystials
That depends what variant you are running maybe but with a branded pack as long DM isnt face down banished its always live so 1 DM is more then enough
@@rez-1270 On the deck list. The branded package is only running one lubellion so once its used then you have no DM any more... Or they prevent you from even using lubellion.
From the list, thats the only card you can use to bring back DM.
I think if you're only running one DM then there isn't a point in running DM at all cause in most games you'd be relying on the engine to win as bystials are in almost all side decks unless they are being use in the main deck.
@@colonelcider8292 the ''list'' your talking about is a base not a full deck list mate
@@rez-1270 The base are the two engines...
I'm saying the base should have two DM's in it as bystials are still very prevalent in the current meta.
The other 14 main deck cards and 3 extra deck cards are left for tech choices.
Obviously its not a full deck, anyone could tell you that.
@@colonelcider8292 You do like repeating yourself dont ya, so im not playing the same 1 to 1 ratio as he showed im playing more ways getting my DM out the GY and banish zones you dont have to copy and paste everything you see!
0:06 that's not entirely true I play DMG in my DM deck and it's fun, it works it's not for competitive play but it's a fun casual deck.
Still crazy to think not more decks focus on pumping out dragoon tbh
Eternal soul is a pretty bad card. Ik it was ok when it came out but losing your entire field to a cosmic cyclone makes the deck worse. Not to mention that summoning the regular dark magician from the hand or gy isnt even that good
@zackiebullock3614 yeah but you could just cut eternal soul and a bunch of other fluff for the branded or kashtira engines and have a better deck lol
😘 *promosm*
I think DMG is an unnecessary card. It serves no purpose, particularly in this deck. Rather, put 2 DMs in the deck. If you gonna keep DMG, I would suggest you put in Magicians combination. I would even say it's necessary if you are running DMG.
Thing is, Combination is a brick in itself. An unnecessary one. You need DMG on field or in grave and a DM in grave or on the field which is what makes it pretty useless. 1 DMG n 1 DM is good because soul servant basically becomes pot of greed for dm
What about if your run’n a few dark burning attacks or even a couple burning magic?👀👀
@@GreedyJOfficial those even worse bricks 😭 you open em, you can’t do nun
@infamousof3008 it doesn't need to be in your grave. It can be in your hand as well. Yes, it's a brick if you don't have DM and DMG, but at least it's a nice negate and it makes your opponent think twice about destroying it because one of their cards would be destroyed as well. But like I said, I'd only add it because DMG is in the deck, so it's a nice card to include. 2 DMs will serve the same purpose as 1 DM and 1 DMG for soul servant's draw effect. DMG isn't necessary at all because this deck doesn't have and magic or trap cards that require both of them, not even the dark magicians fusion actually needs DMG. It's a really pointless card to include, but if one insists on including DMG, might as well play combination as well.
@@GreedyJOfficial yeah, I agree with @infamousof3008. Those cards are way too bricky. I wouldn't add them either 😅
