If you watched the “Yu-Gi-Oh!” anime as a kid, you likely stood by in awe as Yugi summoned Dark Magician. In the anime, the faithful warlock was always there to turn the tides when the cards weren’t in Yugi’s favor. But, little did we know, summoning in the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game is more complicated than we first thought.
Enter: Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel.
For those who may want to build a deck centered around the infamous Dark Magician, look no further. It’s not a deck for anyone who wants to win quickly — in fact, it will be built around the concept of preventing the opponent from gaining unnecessary ground, leading to a slow, methodical victory.
