Wanted to take this time to once again wish you a happy new year!. Much like last year, We're going to make Dark Magician as competitive as possible, Join me on this journey throughout 2024 and lets see what we can achieve. I can't wait until the next video!

Hopefully we can get some commentated match replays. I'm very interested to see how this new Runick list plays.

I mean it clear that konami wants us to play the deck control style so why dont we just do that turn 1 dragon knight

You make good content. I don't think you need to worry about loyalty to any engine. I like the branded ideas and I like the runick ideas. I like watching your process, and I think it's possible that the best engine for DM might not have even been explored yet, so please keep experimenting.

I know you don't have a big fan base but you're the only yugituber that makes consistently good and interesting competitive DM content, and I just wanted to say thankyou for all your videos!🔥

Recently got back into the game, really glad I found someone keeping Dark Magician alive, looking forward to the combo vid

Another WIN Matchie profile! You have inspired me to make my own one soon! Thank you king I also just dropped a vid on Phantazmay so I'm glad we both on that shit this format

Happy new year thanks for the deck profiel and sharing your knowledge

Good luck, man! I'm rooting for you!

the “no room” was just so cute there bro keep it up with the videos ❤

Appreciate the take and direction of DM, I have thought about Runick working with DM but I am just not a big fan of the Runick cards/style(and I really enjoy Branded DM). Definitely looking forward to some combo videos with this and some locals gameplay/commentary though! Thanks Matchie!

thanks for your content @matchie. made my own runick Dm list. its kinda cracked. keep going bro, will watch all your vids

Very cool man, makes me want to pick up Dark Magicians

runick package is sweet, best of luck!

Highly unique build, definitely rooting for you to top! Hoping to see test hands

Awesome list, very keen for the combo video

Good luck man, this sounds like a lot of work but a lot of fun at the same time

Amazing content. I copied your branded Dm deck and have so much fun with it. Definity will consider a runick version aswell.

Hell yea, dark magician gang 🔥🔥🔥

Nice profile and happy new year

Good to have you back creating DM content my dude!

Happy new year beautiful boy, haven’t watched the video yet but I know it’s gonna stink ❤

One of my favorite variants of this deck is with horus, amazing synergy. To be honest i don’t love runnick cards, but i wish you the best luck in your competitive path 👍

Keen as for combo vid and locals video

Nice profile as always🔥

Ok thats cute af with visas. Links spider for Sp is nice too. I love your idea behind what you wanted to do with the deck i respect it. just wish it didnt involve runicks

It's crazy just how few good DM lists exist on KZfaq. Shoutout to Matt and Loza for showcasing your earlier lists and bringing you up on my suggestions. Guys this guy LEGIT makes genuinly good DM lists. Not the trash that runs 3 DMs or redundant extra decks fusions or "3 circle because I like it". The man has logic for his reasons. Although this isn't the first Runick list I've seen it's a better refined version. I personally would make a few changes but very few and as he said we have a while to refine. In regards to the cute Visas play, I doubt it will occur reasonably enough to justify the better payoff over Fenrir. I mean Fenrir by definition is a draw but this also a slot I would change if given a chance. I would even try to squeeze in an Upstart (40 list) and potentially Apprentice for it's draw. I also struggle to drop the field spell because itself is a draw for E soul and Magicians Souls +2 but it definitely lacks impact. I ALSO tend to lean into a 45 card list to almost never see DM or DMG in hand obviously outside of the free pull from Apprentice. Great list though mate. Driven by logic and not feelings.

i can't believe I'm seeing this yesterday i was thinking of making a runick dm deck since every dm deck sucks in master duel and here i am wow what a luck l would say that i really like esoul in this deck with dragon knight i think having that ineffected monster that protect everything will give you an amazing control of the field maybe it's just me but i feel like dragon knight can be an amazing teck in this deck , dragoon is better of course but with all the runick cards i think having the option of dragon knight is amazing i you managed to set up the dm triangle with the runick field spell/ dragostipelia is another secret target i believe it's easy to make using a runick monster+ dm or dmg i can't wait for the test hand video ❤❤❤❤

Crazy that on my way home today I was wondering when King Matchie was going to drop a new video!

Awesome video Matchie! I've been having successes with the Diabellstar engine below. Let me know what you think. Liking the Horus version too that you made. Been having a much better run with that as my second DM deck. Monsters 2x Dark Magician 1x Dark Magician Girl 1x Timaeus The United Dragon 1x Apprentice Illusion Magician 2x Magician's Rod 3x Magician's Soul 2x Illusion of Chaos 3x Diabellstar the Black Witch 2x Kashtira Fenrir 2x Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 1x Droll & Lockbird Spells 1x Harpie's Feather Duster 1x Cosmic Cyclone 1x Dark Magical Circle 1x Secrets of Dark Magic 1x Upstart Goblin 1x Magician's Salvation 2x Soul Servant 2x Preparation of Rites 2x Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye 1x Sinful Spoils of Subversion - Snake-Eye 2x Super Polymerization 3x WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils Traps 1x Sinful Spoils of Betrayal 1x Eternal Soul Extra 1x Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon 1x Dark Magician The Dragon Knight 1x The Dark Magicians 1x Mudragon of the Swamp 1x Garura, Wings of Resonant Life 1x Chaos Angel 1x Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder 1x Number 11: Big Eye 1x Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack 1x Accesscode Talker 1x Selene, Queen of the Master 1x Artemis, the Magistus Moon Maiden 1x Dharc The Dark Charmer, Gloomy 1x Imduk the World Chalice Dragon 1x S:P Little Knight

Happy new year and yes, I belive!

There is an error with the visas and the dark magians combo getting you DM and DMG for s:p. You can't link s:p without 2 effect monsters, so one possible solution is adding in link spider. But ED space is always tight so up to you

cool sounding deck

very expeditious new years resolution

Subbed and I can't wait for the new content. I don't know if you play master duel, but I would love a version of this for MD!

Good old Runick DM have been messing around with since it came out cause of the Draw potenial from Runick and Soul servant but always lacks to really get me playing this deck for real. And in my version i liked DMtDK with ES cause protects fountain and i been playing also with bystials and duality with made it also easier to summon. Keep up the good work always like to hear you theorizing about DM and hope to see you TOP with DM!

will be my first time straying from branded DM; i trust this

Matchie back with more DM contnent? We will be there 💪💪

Happy new year matchie

As a dark magician fanboy i gotta say your channel and your videos are a blessing. Keep up the grind, if someone makes the deck top it's gonna be you! Btw, what outer sleeves are you using? I also like to double sleeve but i feel like the precise fit inner sleeves i'm using right now are not ideal.

Cool engine! Visas Starfrost and any Lv4 and another non-warrior/non-light equals Baronnes. (Also Visas is increadibly cheap rightnow.) I will remember that.

No better way to start the new year then an update in the latest dark magician technology!

How about you add golgonda the continuous spell in the deck it will help with your branded mix and it will also help keep true to its nature to play as a real dm deck its protects backrow and your monsters by sending from extra deck to the grave a monster that mentions fallen pf albaz

I haven't played yugioh competitively in over a decade; and was around when it first came out. What's turned me off is how a lot of duels seem to be over within a turn or two. Regardless I really like this list and am considering picking it up. I was curious to know how long it would take for me to get up to speed in understanding the flow of the game competitively; considering I'm reasonably adaptable. I'd appreciate your advice and input, thank you. Happy late new year and good luck with your endeavor.

I opened 120 packs of cyberstorm access and got two choas angels, 2 x quem virtuous, 1 bystial dis plater, and despian and most of the other good cards but no starlight rares:(

What other normal summons were you considering? Also, what's your opinion on Snatch Steal?

hey do you think duality would work on despian luluwalith and the new card master dragon magia? Both level 12 monsters

Hey great Deck Profile and a nice new way to play DM! However I prefer the Branded version and my question would be: Would u change any ratio or cards from your last Branded DM deck profile? Like the DM or Rod or SoulServant ratio, or maybe swapping something? But as always, thanks for your high quality videos really appreciated and a happy healthy new year!

Interesting thing I've been taking advantage of, Diabellestarr Witch can grab a cool Quick play spell that no one uses too on top of having cool synergy with Dark Magician. Can also be put on top with IOC and set with The Dark Magicians Fusion and used as a kind of Raigeki on opponents turn

That visas starfrost tech is spicy 🥵

What was the card you said you preferred magic formula over?

For the extradeck sometimes tou could discard Fabled Ceburrel to summon Apprentice. The syncro summon using both to get an Chaos Archifiend and then try to build something else but with a decent start monster and effect like that. And still having a normal summon for the magician rod for example

I like the list honestly. And i could use this list for my AE format. But i prefer add fenrir instead golem because sometimes you need summon rod anyways.

Wouldn’t the level 9 runick horse card be great in this? That plus magicians’ souls is easy chaos angel or am I dumb and missing something here?

I was never a dark magician fan but this looks kinda fun. Also I've been looking for a runick deck for a long time but none of the decks have convinced except this! I hope we will see some more combos/gameplay in general. Would really love to learn this deck! 😊 Maybe someone in the community has suggestions for me? Would be really thankful to hear some😄

hello, what brand of outer sleeves youre using? is that a clear matte at front or back? im just curious and amazed on how it can slide on your mat flawlessly

Thanks for the deck profile! What is the name of the song played at 07:50??

There’s a variant with the Egyptian gods I played against on master duel. It was pretty interesting.

May i ask you why you are playing artemis? I see many poeple putting it in the extra deck but never understood its utility?

this is an awesome profile, I don't know if I'm missing something but I'm coming up short on the main deck profile count, I'm ending at 37 cards...what am I missing?

As you said, you're in a large disadvantage without S:P but at my locals, most players don't own that card, neither do I. Do you have a suggestion what to play in the extra deck instead of S:P and Chaos Angel as these two are by far the most expensive cards in the list?

do you think you could make a deck list to copy from? as in like just paste the cards in this deck profile to the comments so we can copy paste it?

@MatchieYGO Fellow DM supporter, and I want to contribute to our collective community efforts, however I am just getting back into the game. Would you consider utilizing Summoner Monk + Keeper for Normal summons, while utilizing rank 4 plays such as Abyss Dweller? Or is it too fragile a line of play based on my current understanding of the current game state? Also, what are your opinions on Mana Dragon/the new Crescent Dragon? I'm so sorry for so many questions 😂😂😂 Happy New Year! Keep up the great work!

God, I wish Eye of Timaeus was searchable.

I like the idea of the deck but I still think a winda lock with dragoon is better than the runick line. You can also skill drain with the branded engine if you pair it it with bystials

You can try High ebon magician, in case of you cannot access to Fountain, you can use the quick spells from your hand,

I've been a big advocate for Mahad. I hate it when opening but I can get a draw 3 quite frequently.

How much would this cost to get please answer

How did the deck do?

I want to make this deck but since both dragoon & instant fusion are banned on MD and Runick is limited what suggestions do you have?

In all honesty, not a fan of the ruinick engine due to my past experience going against it. (might've butchered the name) but i get where you're coming from. Although I'm still sticking with the branded build, but i can try to cook with the more important DM cards (3 soul servant, 2 secrets of dark magic) and 2 magician's rod

Can you do a version without dragoon? For master duel?

If you run mana, mahad, dm and dmg you get a draw 4 but you will have to play at least 3 copies of tim dragon to discard them for fodder from the hand just an idea

Is Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon banned in the tcg and ocg

This is why i always say that dm needs broken quick plays!

One day there will be good enough support to run a mostly pure Dark Magician deck.

I've played dark magician ever since I first started playing and my best version I've ever had for it has been a 60 card pile using bystials chimera branded and dark magician

Sorry if I’m dumb but I’m confused, what’s the potential win with magic formula?

I like the tec with Visas but isnt Prosp better ? More consistency and u just do ur runnick and DM stuff ? also most of the deck we will face will be fire king/labrynth and they will just destroy visas target

How long do you think you can play runick when every other format has it either banned or heavily limited?

Im coping for yall but maybe this will be the year DM finally gets some genuinely busted support

When I don't want to spend 100€ for S:P. Can I substitute with I:P?

Take a card/archetype you like and try to make it work. This vid is what makes yugioh fun. Overpaying just to be a meta slave turns ppl into haters 😂

I do use dm/branded, but I changed half the deck with using 2 blazing cartesia with 2 duality

Still holding on to my starlight dragoon.

time to use runick in VS :)

Only problem I see is with the Visa Line making DM and DMG, you don't have two effect monsters to make S:P Little Knight. It seems the extra wants either Link Spider to link the DM into first or I:P To link the DM and DMG off with

Please combo videos!!

Awesome list as always. Anyone have ideas for budget alternatives to sp and chaos angel? I just like to play for fun

no called by? It's a droll heavy format after all. Anyways, very interesting deck profile especially the visafrost -> baron or chaos angel combo

List is interesting. Haven't seen runick played and would love to see examples of lines and end boards. Quick question: are you worried about anti spell, since it's still at 3?

What about ref seen as you skip your battle phase your trading 1 for 1 with the runic spells but it allows you to do damage even if your skipping battle phases

Hmmm, Runick Dark Magician is literally the only variation of Dark Magician i never tried 😅

Dragoon is back?!?

Dm players will see this and think "hell yeah"

how do you sleeve you cards?

Hey man so I took this deck into locals the only thing u should change is try and get muhad for the draw 3 did pretty good I suck at building decks and I’m glad this deck list is really good

All Konami needs to do is make dragoon considered a DM card on field and in graveyard. Instant meta

y no village + metaverse?

GOOD DL u need to play imduk u cant make S/P with DM ... i make lot of play test with this DL really good idéa i think they are some problemes ... i think idea to play super poly is good and play stapelia garura to make extra zone free with DM engine,Dragoon i'll never see it :'( plya 2 copies it's soo match
