Notes & Combos

Shining★Sarcophagus™

Easily my favorite way to play this deck. Yummy Dark Magician Shining Sarcophagus (colloquially referred to as Shining★Sarcophagus) offers an explosive capablity to set up near infinite interaction going first, having the capability to break boards going 2nd, and still have space for 18 non-engines in a 41 list.

Having a 41 card list with 18 non-engines and 16 1 card starters (with multiple cards being potential extenders), the deck can be split into 2 main functionalities, Yummy (9 Main Deck, 4 Extra Deck) and Dark Magician / Shining Sarcophagus (13 Main Deck, 2 Extra Deck). Both side can bridge into one another seamlessly (you can bridge Dark Magician -> Shining Sarcophagus with Soul Servant even though I'm not running it).

Extra Deck is pretty self explanatory. One thing to highlight is Charmer Quartet in Bloom. Accessible via I:P Masquerena on your opponent's turn. It allows you to reuse a lot of your endboard pieces for omni-negates. In TCG, everyone's familiar with re-summoning Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon. Unique to Master Duel this format (and probably at OCG), you can also re-summon Herald of the Arc Light (omni-negate) and one of your synchro Yummy Monsters (which would ignore the lock from Quartet since you're primarily going to return them to the Extra Deck and summon 2 other Yummy names on the GY).

Other cards within the engine to consider

• Soul Servant: Allows you to bridge Yummy -> Dark Magician -> Shining Sarcophagus (Searching Dark Magician Girl the Magician's Apprentice)
• Yummyusment★Acroquey
• Master of Chaos
