Limit 1 Dark Magician Deck Guide: How to Play

Playstyle and Win Condition

Dark Magician deck isn't a fast deck. It's a control fusion deck with a slow tempo and gives little chances for your opponent to get an opening on you.

Controlling the Board Early

Try and take control of the board early by summoning a Dark Magician onto the field.

Send a Dark Magician to your GY using Magicians' Souls then special summoning it from the GY using Eternal Soul. Using Eternal Soul will make your Dark Magician become impervious to spell and trap effects, helping him last longer but, on the downside, if Eternal Soul is removed, all your monster cards are sent to the GY.
