Card Tips:Sorcerer of Dark Magic


 * If this is the first turn of the game, and you have these cards, summon "Gagaga Magician" and declare its level either 6, 7, or 8. Then use various support cards for "Dark Magician" to bring him out, such as "Summoner's Art", "Ancient Rules", and "Dark Magic Curtain". However, note that the curtain can't be used in the same turn that you summon anything else. Tribute both the "Dark Magician" and "Gagaga Magician" to Special Summon the "Sorcerer of Dark Magic".
 * If this is the second turn or further into the game, and the opponent has 2 monsters on the field, Summon any Spellcaster you want. Activate "Magical Dimension" to tribute your Spellcaster to Special Summon any level 6 or higher Spellcaster from your hand, and destroy one of your opponent's monsters. Then, activate "Dark Core" to remove from play your opponent's other monster by discarding your other level 6 or higher Spellcaster from your hand. Then activate "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon that discarded Spellcaster. Finally tribute both of them to Special Summon your "Sorcerer of Dark Magic".
 * Another method is to use "Dark Magic Curtain" (with or without using "Spell Economics" first) to Special Summon "Dark Magician". Then later use "Magical Dimension" (maybe set it and use it on your opponents turn) and tribute the "Dark Magician" to Special Summon another level 6 or higher Spellcaster (like "Dark Magician Girl", "Chaos Command Magician", "Cybernetic Magician" or "Dark Magician of Chaos" (if you are dueling someone who's okay with banned cards, it would be best to go with the "Dark Magician of Chaos", since Special Summoning it will allow you to return one of the Spell cards you just played, or another spell card in your graveyard, back to your hand.)). Then activate "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon the Dark Magician back from your graveyard. Finally, tribute the two to Special Summon the "Sorcerer of Dark Magic".


 * Summon a Spellcaster and attack, activate "Magician's Circle", Special Summon "Dark Magician Girl", activate "Sage's Stone" to special summon "Dark Magician", then Tribute both to summon "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" in one turn.


 * To pull this monster on the first turn you must have "Peten the Dark Clown" in your hand and find a way to discard it. ("Peten the Dark Clown"'s trip to the Graveyard has to be the last thing to happen or you'll miss the timing). Then use the effect of "Peten" to special summon a second one, and tribute it to summon a "Dark Magician Girl". Now use the Spell "Sage's Stone" to special summon a "Dark Magician", then tribute both to summon "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" in the first turn.
 * An alternative method would be to use "Card Destruction" to send 2 Light and 2 Dark types to the Graveyard. Then, using cards drawn, Special Summon 2 "Chaos Sorcerer" and use these to summon "Sorceror of Dark Magic". This leaves 1 additional card in the graveyard, or activated already ("Secret Village of the Spellcasters" is a good choice), in addition to at least 1 card in your hand, ready to be summoned.


 * It's possible to use "Magician's Circle" to also summon a variety of other Level 6 Spellcasters, such as "Mind on Air", "Neo Aqua Madoor", "Great Dezard" and "Dark Red Enchanter", or even "Allure Queen LV7".
 * "Mind on Air" and "Allure Queen LV7" can be also special summoned easily with "Mystic Tomato".
 * "Neo Aqua Madoor" can also be special summoned with "Mother Grizzly".


 * Use this cards effect in combination with Spell negating cards such as "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", or preferably "Dark Paladin", since you must tribute Spellcasters, and are probably running it in a Spellcaster deck. You can also use an effect negating card, like "Destiny Hero - Plasma".


 * Use "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" and "Secret Village of the Spellcasters" together to jam all of your opponent's Spell and Trap cards.


 * This card works well with "Fortune Ladies", as they can easily swarm the field, and their levels can reach 6 quickly. "Fortune Lady Water" works exceptionally well for this role, as your opponent might not want them to return to your graveyard so quickly, knowing they might be special summoned back.


 * Special summon "Chaos Sorcerer" with its effect then use "Magical Dimension" while having 1 monster to tribute and Special Summon 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand, like "Neo Aqua Madoor " or "Chaos Command Magician".


 * You can also use the benefits of a Synchro Summon. After Synchro Summoning "Arcanite Magician", you can use cards like "The Shallow Grave" to bring back a level 6 or higher Spellcaster-Type monster, or a low level Spellcaster Monster and then activate "Magical Dimension" to bring a high level Spellcaster.


 * You can use "Foolish Burial" to get "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" in the Graveyard, then recover it using the effect of "Herald of Creation".
 * If you do this, you can discard a "Dark Magician Girl", then Special Summon it from the Graveyard and activate "Sage's Stone" to special summon "Dark Magician", then tribute both to summon "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" in one turn.
 * You can also Special Summon any other level 6 or higher Spellcaster monsters with "The Shallow Grave", and then Special Summon "Chaos Sorcerer" with its effect and have 2 Level 6 or higher Spellcaster-Type Monsters to summon "Sorcerer of Dark Magic".


 * You can use "Double Summon" or "Ultimate Offering" and summon a "Gagaga Magician" and a "Full Elf" or bring out a lv 6+ spellcaster (or 2 "Full Elf"), then change their levels to 6 or more and now you can special summon "Sorcerer of Dark Magic".


 * Try summoning "Gagaga Magician" and declare its level into 6 above. Then special summon "Jester Confit" then activate "Resonance Device" to make the level of "Confit" the same as "Gagaga Magician".


 * Alternately, use "Gagaga Magician" and declare its level as 6, 7, or 8. Then use Double Summon or another card to get out Gagaga Girl, who can then copy "Gagaga Magician's" level, allowing for an easy Sorcerer of Dark Magic (or obviously, an easy Xyz Summon)


 * You can use "Eccentric Boy" to synchro summon using monsters from your hand and bring a high level Spellcaster. Then activate "Battle Waltz" to special summon a token that shares its level and type and offer both and summon "Sorcerer of Dark Magic".


 * Another way to summon this card is to special summon 2 Exodius and then proceed to summon this card

Traditional Format

 * Summon "Magical Scientist" and use its effect to special summon 2 "Sanwitches", then tribute them to easily special summon "Sorcerer of Dark Magic".
