Notes & Combos

I like Master of the Dark & Chaos much more because of the consistency and also the better turn 2 + plus it's cheaper, I'm broke on gems. And this deck really rewards you for knowing the matchups :)) Best of luck!! Drop by in the comments if you have questions!

My preferred turn 1:

My general combo involves having Rod, Curtain or Salvation in hand. Then use the skill to search the other two. It will be good to have a DM in hand as well

  1. Activate curtain first to set Eternal soul, then summon rod get Soul Servant.
  2. Curtain to get DM on field and fetch circle + Salvation activates to get DMG.
  3. Use Circle to Dig for DM or any spell
  4. Activate Soul Servant to fetch Tim + 1 random card
  5. Special summon Tim by tributing Rod then fusion summon Dragoon with Tim and preferrably a DM in hand (This is just nice 5th summon so dragoon can negate nibiru)
  6. Turn other DM on field into DMOD and fetch Expanded

End Board: DMOD, Dragoon, DMG, Salvation, Soul, Circle and Expanded = 1 omni negate, 1 banish, unaffected 4k dragoon

If they droll us when we are using rod then chain curtain for DM + DMG and fetch a fusion spell (Gaze/Secrets)

  • Turn Rod and DMG into Whelp, Turn DM into Imduk (I love this little dragon) Then link both into Hieratic
  • Then set the fusion spell and pray...
  • You'll end on 2 interuptions from Hieratic + Dragoon and whatever is in your hand

There are so many ways to play turn 2 but what I love to do is to smash into their monster with one of the magicians and 2x Apprentice triggers. Explore and have fun, here are my general tips.

  • Always activate your skill's 2nd effect before proceeding (you will easily forget)
  • You use multiple quick play spells and chain droplet while sending said quick play spells for droplet
  • Use different ways to summon DM (Curtain, Soul, DMOD) then destroy all spell cards with Dark Magic Attack
