Notes & Combos

Dark Magician (Master I)

60 card DM piles are popular these days, but I wanted to see if I could make the deck 40 cards and still make it competitive while keeping a high count of DM cards (this deck uses 13 DM/DMG cards in total)

For the basic combos, you can look up "Moha - Master Duel" for an easy guide. As for things not covered in that giude: Remember that if you have a brick in your hand (Red-Eyes fusion for example), you can search Illusion of Chaos to shuffle the brick back into the deck. Also remember you can normal summon Rod after you already normal summoned Beryl by summoning Miasma Necromancer. Also remember Magician's Souls can mill Shining Sarc DMG and then Miasma can recycle her to your hand so you can do the whole combo.

Circle makes for a decent board breaker sometimes and the deck stacking helps here and there too. But mainly, I wanted to use my alternate art Circle lol.

Secrets of Dark Magic is useful for quick OTKs and to summon Timaeus without the drawback of it getting banished on the next end phase. And I also wanted to brag about my alternate art Secrets lol.

This deck only runs 7 handtraps, but it isn't a sitting duck going second either, you can check my replays for that. Your ideal uninterrupted board usually has about 6 interruptions.
