"Updated" Dark Magician/Spellcaster support cards

[DARK MAGICIAN FANBOI]

Hi, this is my first post and I just discovered this page today so I decided to try it out and change the effect of some of my favorite cards (the dark magicians)

 

I "updated" some "Dark Magician" and added some anime cards in the mix too.

 

By "updated" I mean "Tried to make it so they can compete with the power creep"

 

My "inspiration" for all these cards was to make a deck with many "boss monsters" so you, as the player, should had freedom to choose what "boss" monster/monsters you would want to use or which ones are better for certain situations. Each one of them is different but I think each of them is equally powerful and useful. You don't even need "boss" monsters to do that. With all this support, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl can be very powerful enemies by themselves.

 

Without futher ado, let's get started and I hope you enjoy it

 

 

A reverse "Sage's stone". I don't know why it shouldn't exist IRL.

(From the movie: Bonds beyond time)

 

 

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 1 "Dark Magician". Each time a Spell Card is activated, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. Once per turn, you can send 1 Spell Card from your hand to the graveyard to increase the attack of 1 face-up monster you control by 1000 or decrease the attack of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls by 1000 until the End Phase"

 

I've used DEW in DN before and I think it's a decent card but there's a couple of things I don't like about it:

- It has the same atk and def than the Dark Magician

- It's effect is not good enough for the work it takes to summon

 

So I added the "Increase/decrease attack by 1000" effect and his effect activates with any spell card, not only Normal Spell Cards.

 

 

Another anime card but this time I added "Black Magician of Chaos" and "Dark Magician of Chaos" along with Dark Magician and DMG. This is basically a 1-turn Gagaga Shield. I think it's a good card.

 

 

The classic Dark Magician's Curtain without the annoying limitations and as a Quick Spell instead of a Normal Spell.

 

 

Another anime card from Bonds Beyond Time. I think it's an ok support card. I added more support cards which makes it easier to have both Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl in the field so this card can be useful.

 

I think adding the Disfussion wave motion's effect into this card wouldn't be a bad idea either. After all, nowdays cards are extremely powerful and the idea it's to make Dark Magician as powerful as them.

 

 

DMG now gains 400 (instead of 300) attack for each Dark Magician, Magician of Black Chaos and also Dark Magician of Chaos. I also added the effect of, when she is Special Summoned, you can add 1 Sage's Stone from your deck or grave to hand which means easy-mode Dark Magic Twin Burst :D (You can special summon her with Magician's circle)

 

 

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Knight's Title". While this card is face-up on the field, it is also treated as a Warrior-type monster. If this card is Special Summoned successfully, select up to 2 cards on the field and destroy them. You can banish 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to destroy 1 card on the field."

 

The idea behind this was to make a pseudo Dark armed dragon/Master Hyperion/Judgment dragon for the Dark Magicians. DMKnight is another Dark Magician "evolution" that had the same attack and defense as the regular dark magician for some reason, so I increased his attack and defense like I did with Dark Eradicator Warlock.

 

Normally summoning this card would be a pain but I also added some support cards for those who want to use this instead of Warlock.

 

 

The classic Dark Magician of Chaos. No changed needed. I just post it because it's part of my collection of magicians.

 

 

"When this card is Summoned, place 3 Spell Counters on it. Then, you can activate one of the following effects.

• Remove 1 Spell Counter from this card to add 1 "Thousand Knives" from your deck to your hand.
  
• Remove 3 Spell Counters from this card to add 1 "Dark Magic Attack" from your deck to your hand"
  

So yeah, I changed Dark Magician from a vanilla to an effect monster that can support himself quite nicely. I used the spell counters gimmick so it can mix himself in Spell Counter decks with cards like Magical citadel of endymion. Summoning Dark Magician now means 3 enemy monsters destroyed or a Harpie's feather dust which makes the new Dark Magician a fearsome opponent (which kind of makes up for being so weak for being a monster that requires 2 tributes)

 

I originally planned to have 3 effects related to the spell counters (remove 1 to get 1 thousand knives, remove 3 to get 1 dark magic attack and remove 2 to get 1 bonds between teacher and student) but the letters became too small when I added all that text so in the end I decided to have only 2 effects. If I could I would add the 3 effects, though.

 

 

Classic Dark Paladin. Not changed at all, just part of my collection.

 

 

Slightly changed Dark Renewal (anime only card) so it negates the summoning of 1 monster and allows you to summon 1 spellcaster from your grave. The only drawback compared to the real Dark Renewal is that this one works when your opponent summons 1 monster and the real Dark Renewal works when your opponent summons any number of monsters (But the new dark renewal negates summons)

 

 

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand or your Deck by Tributing 1 "Dark Magician" on your side of the field when a "Time" monster resolved its effect. At that time, select 1 Spell Card from your Deck, add it to your hand, and then shuffle your Deck. When you activate a Normal Spell Card, you can return it to your deck instead of sending it to your Graveyard"

 

So now instead of being summoned just with Time Wizard's effect, you can use any monster with "Time" in it's name. (Time Wizard, Timeater, Space Time Police, Time Escaper, Metaion the timelord, Sephylon the ultimate Time Lord) and summon it AFTER you use the effect of one of those "Time" monsters. Personally I think this makes Dark Magician an insteresting gimmick in Psychic-type decks.

 

 

Another anime exclusive card (This was used in the Yugi vs Yami Yugi duel). I changed the effect of this card so it wouldn't be a worst "Faity Meteor Punch". This is a "Dark Magicians" version of "Spiral Spear Strike" with an effect more suited for SPELLcasters.

 

 

Another card from Bonds beyond time. I didn't changed anything on this card.

 

 

Dedication through Light and Darkness is pretty much useless with Dark Magician of Chaos banned...

 

Anyways, now this card supports the regular Magician of Black Chaos.

 

 

"Equip only to "Dark Magician, "Dark Magician Girl", "Magician of Black Chaos" or "Dark Magician of Chaos". The equipped monster gains 700 ATK. You can banish this card and the equipped monster to select 1 Spell Card from your opponent's Graveyard and activate it from the Graveyard as your Spell Card. Special Summon the banished monster during your next Standby Phase. When this card is removed from the field, gain 1000 Life Points."

 

A "Dark Magicians" exclusive Double Spell :D

 

 

Not exclusive for Dark Magicians but it can be used easily in a deck like that (with the support cards I added before). I don't know if I should nerf this one and how I could nerf it without making it unviable. Card used in Bonds beyond time.

 

 

"This card can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card "Black Magic Ritual". You must also offer monsters whose total Level Stars equal 8 or more as a Tribute from the field or your hand. While this card is face-up on the field, its Attribute is also trated as LIGHT. When this card is Ritual Summoned, you can banish 1 card from your hand to select and add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand. You can banish 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to destroy 1 card on the field."

 

Similat but different to Dark Magician of Chaos. A pseudo "Dark Magician Knight" for those who would rather use Dedication through Light and Darkness instead of Knight's Title. Both are equally powerful, too.

 

 

Not exclusive to Dark Magicians even if it has Dark Magician in the art. Another anime exclusive that. I did not changed anything from this card because I don't know what could be changed... maybe banishing instead of destroying (dimensional prison for spellcasters...? Dimensional prison is still better so...)

 

 

"Each time a Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card (max. 3). You can remove 3 Spell Counters on this card to Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from your hand, Deck or Graveyard. You can tribute this card while you control a face-up "Dark Magician" to add 1 "Knight's Title", "Bond Between Teacher and Student" or "Dedication Through Light and Darkness" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand"

 

And this guys ties together all the strategies related to the Dark Magician all by himself. He kind-of does that no.wdays (even if Dark Magicians are greatly underpowered) but now he can do that more effectively.

 

With this card you can summon Dark Magician early in the game AND once you summon Dark Magician (in the original card you would need to tribute him, which sucks) you can choose between 1 of the 3 paths you want to take: You want to use Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl (and abuse Magic Gate of Miracles / Dark Magic Twin Burst)? or would you rather use Dark Magician Knight to blow up everything? maybe Magician of Black Chaos / Dark Magician of Chaos suits you better. Let's not forget that Dark Magician is extremely powerful by itself, too, and if you Special Summon Dark Magician Girl with "Bond Between Teacher and Student" you can get 1 "Sage's Stone" which means you could summon another Dark Magician and you would have 2 Dark Magician and 1 Dark Magician girl with 2800 attack. (You could Xyz both Dark Magicians if you wish to Xyz Summon Number 11: Big Eye easily (which also happens to be a Spellcaster))

 

Anyways. Unless your opponent has Effect Veiler the duel is about to get real.

 

 

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned of Set. This card cannot be Special SUmmoned except by Tributing 1 Level 6 or higher Spellcaster-Type monster and removing from play 1 Spell Card you control. You can negate the activation of any Trap Cards and destroy them. Your opponent cannot activate Spell Cards in response to this effect's activation"

 

Last but not least, the 7th "boss" monster variation of the Dark Magicians: Sorcerer of Dark Magic. (Dark Sage, Magician of Black Chaos, Dark Magician of Chaos, Dark Magician Knight, Dark Paladin, Dark Eradicator Warlock and this card as the 7th)

 

It's pretty obvious that the idea of Konami with this card was "Ok, the player must get Dark Magician Girl out and then use Sage's stone to summon Dark Magician and tribute both to summon this card". What Konami didn't know was that having all the needed cards in your hand (1 Sage's stone, 1 Dark Magician Girl (with a monster to tribute/1 Spellcaster's circle, 1 Sorcerer of Dark Magic) was very hard to archieve and that even if you had all those cards you would need to -3 yourself to summon this guy, who is indeed very powerful but very costly.

 

Anyways, I'm not sure about this card's effect. Not many Spell Cards can be used in response to Sorcerer of Dark Magic's effect so I think I may change it to "This card isn't affected by spell cards" or maybe just leave it like that and make it no-traps allowed for Spellcasters.

 

This card can be easily summoned this way:

 

Get 1 Dark magician using SKilled dark magician and then get bond between teacher and student, then special summon dark magician girl and then get 1 sage's stone to summon a 2nd dark magician. Use Dark Magician's effect to clear the field and reserve at least 1 thousand knives. Set that card and then tribute 1 of your Dark Magicians and the set thousand knives to summon this guy. You now have 1 Dark Magician, 1 Dark Magician Girl with at least 2800 attack and 1 Sorcerer of Black Magic in the field.

 

Those are all the cards I did for now. I think I will change "Black Magic Ritual", "Skilled White Magician" and "Buster Blader" since they are all related to the Dark Magicians, but not now. I already did a lot with all those cards.

 

Suggestions? comments? should I send this to Konami? lol. I think I need to change the text of many cards to make them more easy to understand, but that's no problem for me :)

 

If I committed many gramatical errors excuse me, english is not my main language.

[Ænema]

Hey, they're pretty good. Dunno why no one else has commented.

[DARK MAGICIAN FANBOI]

Thanks for the support.

 

Anyways, I changed a bit some cards and added some new ones.

 

 

 

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned Except by Tributing 1 "Dark Magician". This card gains 200 ATK for each banished Spell Card. Each time a Spell Card is activated, inflict 1000 Damage to your opponent. Once per turn, you can send 1 Spell Card from your hand to the Graveyard to increase the attack of 1 face-up monster you control by 1000 or decrease the attack of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls by 1000 until the End Phase.

 

 

Activate only while you control a face-up "Dark Magician" and a face-up "Dark Magician Girl". 1 "Dark Magician" you control gains ATK equal to the ATK of 1 "Dark Magician Girl" you control until the End Phase. Dark Magician Girl can't attack this turn. During this turn, the selected "Dark Magician" can attack all monsters on your opponent's side of the field once each. If you activate this effect, no other monster you control can attack this turn.

 

 

This card cannot be Normal Summoned of Set. This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand or your Deck by Tributing 1 "Dark Magician" on your side of the field when the effect of a monster with "Time" in its name resolved sucessfully. At that time, select 1 Spell Card from your Deck, add it to your hand, and then shuffle your Deck. When you activate a Normal Spell Card, you can return it to your deck instead of sending it to your Graveyard.

 

Its the same as before but I think it's easier to understand now.

 

 

When a "Dark Magician", "Dark Magician Girl", "Black Magician of Chaos" or "Dark Magician of Chaos" you control attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict Piercing battle damage to your opponent. If "Dark Magician", "Dark Magician Girl", "Black Magician of Chaos" or "Dark Magician of Chaos" you control inflicts Battle Damage with this effect, you can select 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard and shuffle it into your deck or select 1 banished Spell Card and return it to your Graveyard.

 

Changed the effect because returning 1 spell card to the top of the deck may be a little overkill.

 

 

Each time a Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card (max. 3). You can remove 3 Spell Counters from this card to Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from your hand, Deck or Graveyard. This effect can only be used once as long as this card remains face-up on the field. You can tribute this card while you control a face-up "Dark Magician" to add 1 "Knight's Title", "Bond Between Teacher and Student" or "Dedication Through Light and Darkness" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.

 

Added that restriction to prevent abuse.

 

 

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 1 Level 6 or Higher Spellcaster-Type monster and removing from play 1 Spell Card you control. You can negate the activation of any Trap Cards and destroy them. This card is unaffected by your opponent's Spell Cards.

 

As for the new cards...

 

 

 

If there are 3 or more Dragon-Type monsters in your opponnet's Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card. This card gains 500 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster on your opponent's side of the field or in the Graveyard.

 

Just a slight change to make him a little bit easier to summon, although it's situational.

 

 

"Dark Magician" + "Flame Swordsman"

While this card is face-up on the field, it is also treated as a Warrior-Type monster. Any damage to the controller of this card from battle involving this monster becomes 0. When this card is removed from the field, Special Summon 1 "Mirage Knight" from your hand, Graveyard or Deck.

 

Almost the same effect as the regular Dark Flare Knight, but I reduced his level by 1 so he can easily be summoned using Instant Fusion. Also, changed the effect of summoning Mirage Knight to "when this card if removed from the field" instead of "when this card is destroyed by battle"

 

 

Add 1 "Buster Blader" from your Deck or your Graveyard to your hand. If you control a face-up "Buster Blader", you can treat this card as an Equip Card. Equip only to "Buster Blader". The equipped monster gains 700 ATK. When this card is send from the field to the Graveyard while equipped to a monster, add 1 "Emblem of Dragon Destroyer" from your Deck to your hand

 

This is almost the only support card Buster Blader gets so better make it worth.

 

 

When this card is Normal or Flip Summoned, you can change it to Defense Position. Your opponent cannot select another Spellcaster-Type monster you control as an attack target. While this card is face-up on the field, once per turn during your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon a Spellcaster-Type monster in addition to your Normal Summon or Set.

 

The good support card Magician's Valkyria SHOULD be.

 

 

Remove 2 Spell Counters on your side of the field. Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" or "Buster Blader" from your hand, Deck or Graveyard in face-up Attack or Defense Position.

 

Not restricted to just Graveyard.

 

 

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Dark Flare Knight" or by its own effect. When this card battles another monster, during damage calculation increase the ATK of this card by the original ATK of the opponent's monster. During the End Phase after this card was involved in battle, return it to your deck. You can Special Summon this card from your hand after it was returned from the field to your deck by this effect.

 

Basically: Come, beat something, go back to deck and next time you get it in your hand you can SS it without needing Dark Flare Knight.

 

 

Each time a Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card (max. 3). You can remove 3 Spell Counters from this card to Special Summon 1 "Buster Blader" from your hand, Deck or Graveyard. This effect can only be used once as long as this card remains face-up on the field. You can tribute this card while you control a face-up "Buster Blader" to add 1 "Emblem of Dragon Destroyer" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.

 

In a Dark Magician deck Skilled Dark Magician may be more useful and to fuse Buster Blader and Dark Magician you may want to use Emblem of Dragon Destroyer instead, but otherwise this is the easiest way to summon Buster Blader

[Agaming]

That is a lot of cards, good cards, for a new member. Keep it up :)

[dylan11932]

Pretty good concepts for a new member...also, these cards are quite useful for a custom deck- just something to consider if you want to participate in a custom tournament.

[Guest optimus327prime]

you should send them to konami, because that would allow more strategies for these cards

[DARK MAGICIAN FANBOI]

Just a quick update.

 

 

"If you control any 2 face-up "Dark Magician", "Dark Magician Girl", "Dark Magician of Chaos" or "Magician of Black Chaos": Banish all Monster Cards in your hand, Deck and Graveyard and destroy all cards on the field, except "Dark Magician", "Dark Magician Girl", "Dark Magician of Chaos" (TYPO) or "Magician of Black Chaos", ignoring the effects of any monsters that would be destroyed by this effect. This card's activation and effect cannot be negated by any other card."

 

Not much to say besides you are f*cked after you opponent uses this card.

 

If there's any other card that is specific to Dark Magicians please let me know.

[erick1853]

i think you did very good B)

[Guest bakugan120]

These cards are awesome! I love the anime exclusive cards. And just so you know you messed up on the skilled dark magician card. The title says Dark Eradicator Warlock.
