I think i play enoguh bricks to call this a "Dark Magician Deck".

Dragon Knight and BLS never came up. Then again almost half of the deck never came up, it's usually Verte and Dragoon.

Almost the same build as the GOAT King mahde by switching a single circle for a bystial to guarantee access to Primite engine in case you don't have a DM in grave and some small changes in the extra deck.\nGo watch his videos if you need a more in depth guide on how the deck works.

I'm still considering removing the dragon knight as there are very few cases where you want to go into it instead of dragoon. Even if you already have a dragoon in field it's a hard sell.

Hello everyone 👋👋👋, I've been grinding a alot lately trying different builds and after a lot of testing I've came up with a new type of list with new combos that let me abuse a double normal summon strategy and i finally made it to M1 🔥❤️.

I know this isn't your typical dm list and I'm sorry for those who want it to be , every meta is getting worse and worse for us dm players due to the powecreep the game is having so we have to adapt new ways to make our favorite decks work.

The new strategy aim to abuse the fiendsmith engine that offers bards for souls to send for draws , follow up , interruptions and giving us a way to normal summon twice which allows us to search with barel and rod at the same turn or normal summon barel twice if needed since it's not once per turn

I'm still running the anaconda dragoon package and i don't think ut will be a list where we don't have it , it's just too powerful as a backup or a main plan going first and especially second.

Magician combinations is a very sleeper pick in the primite lists , and especially in this deck , with the ability of normal summoning twice it makes this card very powerful with the combination of the primite engine giving us an extra omni negate , after testing with the other cards i just decided to stick with this one since it didn't have some of the downside other cards did , esoul needs circle to be able to get the full value of it and the destruction effect doesn't help either, jt also requires salvation which some times can be bricky even tho i loved to abuse it for generating bodies for link material, the bonds package was also good but it did have the same bricky aspect to it and i couldn't afford that, secrets was a weird card for me cuz on paper it sounded good but i couldn't really find a way to get good value of the card , making dragoon is obviously a good thing to do but you'll be sacrificing 3 cards to make it and an extra card for the negate as well which i couldn't really afford especially when I'm using the bodies for the fiendsmith combos and opening the card is also bricky sometimes, combination does have the same bricky issue but it enable the circle banish similar to esoul and it's an omni negate which is also really nice , the secondary effect is also an effect that see some usage when you send it with souls or your opponent tries to destroy it, unfortunately all these cards are just outdated so test for yourself and play the one that you're most comfortable with.

Primite is a great control engine for DM and the Bystial package complements nicely this playstyle.

Originally tested with Mausoleum and DMG for better Servant value but they were too bricky to justify.

1 DM for the same reason although sometimes I felt uncomfortable with it and if Bystials are rampant I'd recommend 2.

Secrets is the best DM engine card in this variant hence at 2 and it's what Servant should almost always be searching paired with Primite to set up Drillbeam into Dragoon. The quick play is also relevant for some outplay potential covering your searchers like Beryl from handtraps.

Most of the Extra Deck slots are pretty flexible, never went into the Accesscode line.

Hit a 9 Game win streak with this deck and it was a lot of fun! Some of it was done on stream in between the GoG tournament so you can see some of the duels on my twitch channel which I'll link below.

The Youtube video has me explaining a lot of reasoning behind the choices in the deck and gameplay breakdown so check that out. I've considered playing the Toy box engine over the Azamina 9 card package, but it'll probably be worse. I'll try it and let you guys know in a future video.

Hello everyone 👋👋, I'm back with another M5 list , this time featuring the newly added primite engine.\nAs expected the engine is really good in dm , it gives the deck a good way of control and it makes the vanilla monsters less bricky , it also makes the deck less reliant on anaconda.\nI'm still using toy box , i tried just pure dm with primite and it wasn't as powerful as i thought, unfortunately the dm side of the deck always feels lacking since it requires a lot of cards to make an okay board, and almost every single part of the dm spells/traps is just unsearchable since primite takes our normal summon, on top of all that our cards just can't keep up with the meta since non of them recycle itself nor do something on their own which is why they feel like bricks .\nThat's why i found out that toy box is still amazing at fixing those issues while giving us free bodies and search cartesia that alow as to use to do cool stuff with dragoon and drillbeam, I'm also using 2 drillbeam cuz the games are kinda grindy and because we don't make dragoon with anaconda that often i do need that second omni-negate on my second turn to cleen up more of my opponent cards.\nI'm also running roar as a target for when get access to my primite engine after i go for dragoon.

This engine has so much potential to make dm an insane control deck if we can get some new support that makes are cards easily accessible, and with the new primite support coming out in ocg it makes the triangle better, all we need is more access to the pieces.\nThat's pretty much it for this version, I'll be pushing to M1 so the deck might change a bit , untill then take Care everyone 👋 ❤️
