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. 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.they also revolve a lot around spell counters. Depending on the way the deck is built, this archetype can be very slow or fast archetype, occasionally able to out-trump even the Blackwings, or the Six Samurai depending on the draw and how often Dark Magician can be Special Summoned.
