fusion High Sorcerer of Dark Magic

[Arthur_Lauyfrey]

A modern Fusion retrain of Sorcerer of Dark Magic, designed as a Dark Magician boss monster.

Focused on spellcaster protection, flexible interaction, and archetype-locked power rather than generic negation.

Not intended to replace the original card, but to represent its evolution in a modern Dark Magician strategy.

High Sorcerer of Dark Magic

Level 9

ATK/DEF: 3200/2800

Materials: 1 “Dark Magician” or “Dark Magician Girl” + 2 Spellcaster monsters.

Must be either Fusion Summoned, or Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by shuffling the above materials from your hand, field, and/or GY into the Deck, and sending 1 Spell/Trap that mentions “Dark Magician” or “Dark Magician Girl” from your hand or field to the GY. You can only Special Summon “High Sorcerer of Dark Magic” once per Duel this way. Your opponent cannot target other Spellcaster monsters you control with card effects. Once per turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): Apply 1 of these effects, but you cannot apply the same effect of “High Sorcerer of Dark Magic” again while this card remains face-up on the field.

● Negate that effect.

● Destroy that card.

● Set 1 Spell/Trap from your GY, but banish it when it leaves the field, and it cannot be activated this turn.

Sorry, mate. Can you post the effect as a block of text. I'm too old and my eyes aren't as good as they used to be.

You can read now. What are you think about this card?

[Dramatic Crossroad]

It's cool.

I think is off is "Materials:" doesn't need to be specified in text, it's always known the 1st line of text in an Extra Deck monster is the materials needed for its Summon.
I feel like the blanket protection not applying to itself makes it a bit too easy to deal with. If you manage to summon 2 of these, they might protect themselves, from targeting, but what about other removal? Tributing, Raigeki / Lightining storm, etc., considering you commit 4 cards to Summon this card (at best, scenario 1 spell/trap from hand and 3 monsters from GY), it doesn't vibe much.

Suggestion(s):
Have it treated as "Dark Magician" while on the field and in the GY. Benefit from all the generic support, the same way "Dark Magician of Destruction" (OCG) does.


Maybe instead of  restricting activations to once-per-face-up, attach a resource, to make it a bit more "flexible", while also being limiting.

Idea: 
When this card is Summoned; Place 6 High-Spell Counters on this card. Once per turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can remove a number of High-Spell Counters from this card and apply 1 of these effects:
● 3: Negate that effect.
● 2: Destroy that card.
● 2: Set 1 Spell/Trap from your GY, but it cannot be activated this turn, also banish it when it leaves the field.

This way you can pick & choose whichever effect you want to apply.

É legal.

Acho que o problema é que "Materiais:" não precisa ser especificado no texto, já que a primeira linha de texto de um monstro do Deck Adicional sempre indica os materiais necessários para sua Invocação.
Sinto que a proteção geral não se aplica a ele mesmo o torna um pouco fácil de lidar. Se você conseguir Invocar 2 desses, eles podem se proteger de serem alvos, mas e quanto a outras remoções? Tributar, Raigeki/Tempestade Relâmpago, etc., considerando que você gasta 4 cartas para Invocar este card (na melhor das hipóteses, 1 magia/armadilha da mão e 3 monstros do Cemitério), não parece muito vantajoso.

Sugestão(ões):
Faça com que ele seja tratado como "Mago Negro" enquanto estiver no campo e no Cemitério. Beneficie-se de todo o suporte genérico, da mesma forma que "Mago Negro da Destruição" (OCG).


Talvez, em vez de restringir as ativações a uma vez por monstruoso virado para cima, anexe um recurso, para torná-lo um pouco mais “flexível”, embora também limitante.

Ideia: 
Quando esta carta para Invocada, coloque 6 Marcadores de Magia Alta nesta carta. Uma vez por turno, quando seu oponente ativar uma carta ou efeito (Efeito Rápido): você pode remover um número de Marcadores de Magia Alta desta carta e aplicar 1 destes efeitos:
● 3: Negue aquele efeito.
● 2: Destrua aquela carta.
● 2: Baixe 1 Magia/Armadilha do seu Cemitério, mas ela não pode ser ativada neste turno e também deve ser banida quando deixar o campo.

Dessa forma, você pode escolher qual efeito aplicar.

So, based on your deduction, you're considering using spell counters for this Fusion monster? If so, do you think the counters should protect Spellcaster-type monsters against anti-target effects, including the High Sorcerer of Dark Magic? I should assume it gains counters for each spell effect, right?

[Dramatic Crossroad]

This isn't what I had in mind, the counter idea isn't related to the protection effect at all. My suggestion for protection was to just have the name also be treated as "Dark Magician", so it can benefit from other cards, like "Eternal Soul". Sorry, if I worded it weirdly.

The counters were a suggestion - be able to use the negation effect twice, if you need it. Be able to use the destruction or card-setting effect up to 3 times (by paying with 2 counters up to 3 times). Also they are High-Spell Counters (like superior magic or something) and you can't refuel them like regular Spell Counters. This is the limiting factor - you only get 6 and only when you summon this monster. You still get to activate up to 3 effects by paying with the counters, but not limited to 1 unique effect one time.

Não era isso que eu tinha em mente; a ideia dos contadores não tem nenhuma relação com o efeito de proteção. Minha sugestão para a proteção era que o nome também fosse tratado como "Mago Negro", para que pudesse se beneficiar de outras cartas, como "Alma Eterna". Desculpe se me expressei mal.

Os contadores eram uma sugestão: poder usar o efeito de negação duas vezes, se necessário. Poder usar o efeito de destruição ou de baixar cartas até 3 vezes (pagando com 2 contadores até 3 vezes). Além disso, eles são Contadores de Magia de Alto Nível (como Magia Superior ou algo assim) e você não pode recarregá-los como Contadores de Magia comuns. Esse é o fator limitante: você só recebe 6 e apenas quando invoca este monstro. Você ainda pode ativar até 3 efeitos pagando com os contadores, mas não está limitado a 1 efeito único por vez.

I'll think about it because the idea of making this monster a Dark Magician is really good, but I also think that this monster wouldn't be different from a copy of the Dark Magician of Destruction.

For me, every idea is welcome, respected, and considered a strong proposal!
