Masters of Chaos EX Deck! See the Power of the Dark Magician!

[76561198443235523]

The Dark Magician takes on a new form in the Masters of Chaos EX Structure Deck! This new Structure Deck – along with some cards released in the latest Dark Dimension booster set – make Dark Magician Decks more powerful than ever before! Check out some of the new strategies made possible by the Masters of Chaos EX Structure Deck!

There’s a whole new way to use the Dark Magician thanks to the Magician of Chaos Ritual Monster in the Masters of Chaos EX Structure Deck. Although Dark Magician Decks in the past have always revolved around its namesake card – the Dark Magician Normal Monster – the release of Magician of Chaos in the latest EX Structure Deck adds a powerful “Ritual Summoning” element to the Dark Magician theme. Magician of Chaos has 2500 ATK and 2100 DEF like the original Dark Magician, and even takes on the Dark Magician’s name while it’s on the field or in the Graveyard; but unlike the Dark Magician, Magician of Chaos is a Level 7 Ritual Monster with a cool effect. Once per turn, when a Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated, you can use Magician of Chaos’s Quick Effect to target a card on the field and destroy it. In addition, if Magician of Chaos is destroyed by battle or card effect after it’s Ritual Summoned, you can activate its effect to Special Summon a “Chaos” or “Black Luster Soldier” Ritual Monster from your hand, other than Magician of Chaos, ignoring its Summoning conditions.

Magician of Chaos has an awesome effect that lets it destroy cards during either player’s turn while it’s on the field; and if it leaves the field after it’s Ritual Summoned, it can replace itself with a Magician of Black Chaos or Black Luster Soldier from your hand. Plus, Ritual Summoning Magician of Chaos is a breeze.

Two ways to Ritual Summon it are with the Chaos Form or Advanced Ritual Art Ritual Spell Cards, which are both available in the Masters of Chaos EX Structure Deck.

Chaos Form lets you Tribute monsters from your hand and/or field whose total Levels are equal to 7 in order to Ritual Summon Magician of Chaos from your hand. Instead of Tributing monsters from your hand and/or field, Chaos Form also lets you banish a Dark Magician from your Graveyard to Summon your Magician of Chaos.

Advanced Ritual Art lets you Ritual Summon a monster by sending Normal Monsters from your Deck to your Graveyard whose total Levels equal the Level of the monster you’re Ritual Summoning from your hand. Use it to send the Dark Magician from your Deck to your Graveyard, and you’ll be able to Ritual Summon Magician of Chaos from your hand without Tributing any monsters from your hand or field!

Magician of Chaos encourages the use of Ritual Spells in the Deck, while Dark Cavalry – a Fusion of Dark Magician and any Warrior – makes Fusion Summons involving the Dark Magician more appealing. Dark Cavalry has 2800 ATK to start, gains ATK for each Spell/Trap on the field and in the Graveyards, inflicts piercing damage, and negates the activation of cards or effects that target a card on the field. Like Magician of Chaos, Dark Cavalry is available in the Masters of Chaos EX Structure Deck.

The Masters of Chaos EX Structure Deck introduces new ways to make the Dark Magician more powerful than ever before. Which cards from the Masters of Chaos EX Structure Deck do you think are strongest for Duelists wielding the power of the Dark Magician to use?

I spent my money for nothing, this structure deck sucks. I will think twice before buy a new structure. Until today I used twice and is a complete fail.

why does it suck?

instead you can not use it alone, you need other box for to enjoy it. For example this deck need navigation, but I did not spend gems on that box, so this suck. Atm this deck is a simple support for boxs.

I am agree with you, but the idea for structure is have a sustainable deck.

Check the players decks in Duel Links Meta Website and please show me one that doesn't use Keeper of Dragon Magic for consistency.

I consider that to be a "spoiler" and would rather make decks from looking at the available cards. It's hard to not notice my opponent's decks, but if I'm going to simply look up the best decks without deriving them myself from the cardpool, what would be the point/fun of trying to figure out how to build (vs. "tune") a deck by myself?

But taking another look at the deck, it looks like Advanced Ritual Art is only available
in that deck. It's their way of says "You can have one for gems, but have to pay $3.99 for the 2nd copy, and $6.99 for the 3rd. It also looks a lot like the "First one's free" thing that Drug Dealer allegedly use... first ARA is gems, but then it's $4 and $7.

If the "Structured Deck" was 1 Advanced Ritual Art, and 29 copies of "Baby Dragon", it would
probably still sell, just to get the ARA. Especially if they dropped the price a little.

[Btw, did you notice that you can't get the "Silent Magician" (As opposed to "Silent Magican LV#") EXCEPT by paying cash or using a Dream Ticket? I'm guessing he was too useful by himself for them to "let you" pay gems for the 1st one, so you have to buy the first copy of that deck, not just the 2nd and 3rd copy like with the other structured deck.]

P.s. OMG! After picking "Baby Dragon" as an example of totally pathetic card, that's
exactly the card Duel Quest gave me for my "big reward" for completing the
highest currently available level. (Doesn't matter, but weird coincidence.)

LOL, if you think you will always have the best ideas for a deck on your own, well i have bad news for you ... i'm not saying for you to not make original decks, but looking at other peoples decks can give you awesome ideas and inspiration to improve your own, also that was a example on how people are using the "trash" structure deck everyone is badmouthing to rule in the META (well was ... it will die after this banlist, or people will make something even more sinister out of it). Structure decks being locked behind a paywall is something i have been complaining about for a long time now, but Konami will never stop doing this, it gives them too much money, and people still buy it ... so why stop, right? And yes a lot of cards are structure decks only, example: Silent Magician, Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon, Silent Swordsman, Magician of Chaos, Neos Fusion, Gold Sarcophagus, Desperado, etc ...

[battlezoby]

I would have to be a total complete idiot to "think will always have the best idea for a deck on [my] own," I'm not a complete idiot as you implied. (Please read this, including the lower half before reply to that, btw.)

But the short answer is that the special part of CCG that I like so much is looking at
cards and trying to think up new ways to use them with as little help from anyone
or anything else as possible. Simply winning a tournament or getting a high rank
(especially in 1vs1) just simply isn't as fun for me as being able to be creative.

Now here''s a longer (and not well edited, and still abridged) answer:

I don't take 1on1 PvP very seriously in CCG's, but I made Gold 7 (almost platinum) without looking at website decks within my first 30 days of EVER playing ANY Yugioh(*) and made Legend 2 on day 50, having only played about 400 games; about 70-100 of which I intentionally lost just to grind for rewards (before I even know that would hold back my rank.)

I just made Legend without looking at Meta-website; that was kinda cool. I don't play many ranked game, but I did a streak of winning 13 out of 14 games. But it wasn't great since an moron could have added in all 5 Magic Girls and Quintet into a deck as I did and probably still had gotten to Platinum, and maybe Legend 3 if they played more ranked games then I did. But I did tune it quite a bit and added in at least 9 different other monsters [3 to 5 different extra monsters at a time] and it was kind of cool.

(Btw, it's interesting how they call every summoned person a "monster," can't imagine that would be good for Berry Girl's self-esteem!)

Now, after being told Legend 3 takes 5 consecutive wins to make KoG, I realize it's not
realistic to expect to be able to make KoG with the cards I have. At least not without
trying to carefully play a lot more ranked games than I care to.

But despite the company "throwing such obvious decks in my face", like Red Eyes Fusion and even Magic Girl, has already ruined MOST OF the satisfaction of otherwise making progress on my own. So I don't want to ruin the rest of it further by looking at the Meta website and being told about the latest most successful decks soon after people think them up.

Hypothetically speaking, if I had checked the Meta website for the best decks, before resetting boxes, I probably could have designed a modified version of the decks after knowing which theme to build them around...

But the worst possible result would have been making KoG that way. It would
have felt like an partially empty victory AND without much else to try-for after that.

In MtG (at long time ago) a store with room for hundreds of players decided to
hold a tournament with a rule change - you know - the way that the Vagbond makes
up custom rules. A deck design I made but had never seen before (or since except when
I was playing it) was perfect under those new rules, and if not, I could have thought up a dozen other ways to take advantage of the custom rule in a way nobody else there did.

My build probably would have won the 3-ppl vs 3-ppl games (modified Emperor,
with the range custom-modified to 1 [not a bright move on the store's behalf])
on turn 3-5, maybe turn 2. My friend suggested we change ONE CARD, and
take advantage of an additional trick I hadn't thought about, one for which the store custom changed the rules for during the tournament to hold us back unsuccesfully. Because of that we were winning on turn 1 through 3 (sometimes 4) while other people were playing for about 90 minutes each game. (3vs3 MtG, and even 1vs MtG, generally played out a lot more slowly than Yugioh Duel Links does.)

Between games, I was lying on my back on a table to pass the time, (most of the 90 minutes because we finished so quickly) and overheard someone say "Can't we just send these guys [me and my friends] home and play for 2nd place?"

I think hearing that was one of the high points of my MtG career. Sure we won the tournament, but that was trivially amusing compared to the huge number of completely original decks(*) that I made and played over my "career" and/or hearing the comment I just mentioned.

* - Completely original in that I never saw them before playing them; they were original enough some might not have been ever played by anyone else ever, but again, I'm not an idiot, so I know that maybe other people did also invent them on their own first and I just didn't know about that.

"Your Response"

I never meant to offend you, its just every "I build my own decks, and i'm so good at it and yet can't leave gold because the game is rigged, blah blah" person that pass trough here on the forum kinda gets to you after a while, glad to see you're not one of them btw.

[battlezoby]

I was wrong. Didn't think I could make KoG with Magic Girls. But I just did.

53 days after never having watched or played Yugioh ever.
Took about 18-20 games total after I made Legend 3, with a quick visit back to Legend 2.
And aside from Magic Girls and Quintent being so obvious, I didn't copy the deck.

Ummm... So, what now?

Well, first of all, congratulations.

Now, you can use whatever deck you want, because you can't be demoted, you can level up other characters, can do stage missions, etc ...
