Dark Magician (archetype)

One of the older Spellcaster Archetypes. The "Dark Magician" has been a fan favorite since the very start of the series, appearing as the trump card of Yugi Muto, receiving almost as much screen time as his player. During the Battle City arc and subsequent arcs, more cards were introduced, such as "Dark Magician Girl" and "Dark Sage".

Play Style
The monsters of this archetype are fairly strong on their own, however they rely a lot on a large amount of support cards to keep them going, a rather slow archetype.
