Notes & Combos

I tried so hard to make Dark magician work. I tried primite, I tried azamina, I tried diabellstar, shining sarc, but the core problem each time was that the engine was just too flimsy. Sure, dragoon (sometimes 2x) SP, and baronne is strong, but IF they can crack it, you're dead.

I was in diamond **** for a week just treading water. Then I saw Slayton and Grotera's builds. I like artmage a lot, and the more I play artmage, the more I think it's one of the most fun archetypes to come out in a long time.

Still, the meta is ridiculous. Too many times I felt like if I didn't open a charmie or maxx c, then I auto lose. It's nonsense. However, Walrus, the Artmage helper, recommended some breakers and it's thanks to slayer that I won my rank up going second against Centurion. Go to **** Blazar!

Time for the breakdown: shining dmg is great, gandora is cool but telegraphed and turns on K9. However, you can revive him with master of chaos. On that topic, MOC is amazing. DMOD is probably banworthy. Dragoon is fine, but I didn't rely on him that much once I shifted to artmage. Rebellion dragon won me multtiple unwinnable games. Talents is talents. Slayer seems good. Fuwa was worthless. Ash was okay. Guardian chimera was meh. I never summoned Fancy Ball. Nerva board wipe is strong.

I think there is a lot of room for growth with this deck. Thank you to Haven and Kageyami for all your hard work. Seriously, y'all should check out the pins in the DM channel. So thorough. Thank you to Grotera and Quote in the shining sarc channel. Thank you to Walrus in the artmage channel.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.Z
