Notes & Combos

Link to Nekoresi's In-Depth Supreme King Magician Guide explaining all the cards.

This list is based on Jayfeather's pinned list in the Pendulum Magician channel on the MDM Discord. The differences are:

  • 3rd Mulcharmy Fuwalos & 3rd Wings of Light for 2 Red Reboot
  • Stargazer Magician for Shadow's Light because I don't have it. I initially had 2 Purple Poison Magicians and 0 Stargazers. The 2nd Poison came up sometimes but not as much as bricked hands that would've been playable if Stargazer was in the deck to summon with Astrograph Sorcerer. There is a 2 Astrographs FTK combo that needs Stargazer in the deck.
  • S:P Little Knight for 1 Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom. We only need 2 Venoms to FTK and S:P's link arrows are useful when performing a 2nd pend summon with Pendulum Evolution.

Possible Changes:

  • 3 Chronograph Sorcerer + 1 Timegazer Magician for 3 Performapal Monkeyboard + 1 Performapal Odd-Eyes Butler. It's a budget option and there is a 2c FTK combo with Astrograph + Chronograph.
  • I prefer Chronograph over Monkeyboard but wanted to commit to Monkey for this climb.

To FTK, we need:

  • 4 Dark Pendulum monsters to summon 2 Starving Venoms
  • 2 Link 2 monsters to summon Gigantic Spright. Maxx C can replace one of the Link 2's. Gigantic Spright summons Gale Dogra from the deck.
  • Gale Dogra sends Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingle from the Extra Deck to the GY.
  • The 2 Venoms copy Nightingale to burn for 4000LP each.

Protecting the FTK:

  • Baronne de Fleur made with Harmonizing Magician + Oafdragon Magician or Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm + Monkeyboard/Oafdragon/Chronograph
  • Performapal Celestial Magician's monster effect when you control a Synchro monster. It turns off your opponent's monster effects for the turn.

Other Tips:

  • We don't need 4 Dark pends on the field at once to summon 2 Venoms. We can have 3 and then summon 1 Venom to a Monster Zone Cross-Sheep points to. Cross-Sheep revives a level 4 or lower Dark pend in your GY, such as materials used to summon Magician of Hope.
  • Revive non-dark spellcasters with Exceed the Pendulum and Cross-Sheep if you have Black Fang Magician scaled, a way to destroy Black Fang and a Dark Spellcaster in the GY.
  • Revive Beyond the Pendulum with Black Fang before your pendulum Dark Spellcasters. Beyond returns to the GY to be revived again upon leaving the field while your pends go to the Extra Deck.

The 2 Duelist Cup Replays. In the older replay, starting with scaling and popping Gate Magician to trigger Astrograph would have been better than starting with Wings of Light. Also shows how Monkeyboard can be a little awkward because I ended up shuffling it back with Pendulum Evolution.
