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".
Description
The Magician cards have several features in common:
- Most Magicians have is their armor which is usually a collection of shiny, curved plates with sharp edges, all of the same color, which cover the torso and shoulder areas. On the edges of the plates are curved trimmings of contrasting shade.
- Some of these Magicians also have hats which appear to be similar to the traditional wizard's hat, which is usually crooked, leaning forward at the tip and with several rings which segment it. These rings are of the same color of the curved trimmings seen elsewhere on the Magician's attire.
- Some of these monsters have Spell Counters embedded in their staff, shield, sword or armor.
- Some also have the Arcana Seal depicted in the background.
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. The later releases revolve 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.
