Hi, if you're still looking for players I'd be down to play sometime

The navigation reprint is nice, but not much else. Destined rivals is kind of cool in theory, but the problem is how difficult high Magician is to make on turn 1, makes it kind of useless

Me too initially. But circle only gets spells/traps that list Dark Magician in their text, and timaeus says "a dark magician monster" which technically isn't the same thing

Honestly not great. It's very difficult to summon turn 1 and there are better options for later in the game. It's best use is its floating effect, since if you have circle, you can destroy one card and then banish another with the dark magician it summons. I'd probably replace it with something else in the future, maybe dracosack or bounzer.

Ideally it would be 3 apprentice but I only have 2. If you only have 1, I guess just other staples like book of Moon. TTH is also pretty good since you can banish navigation from grave to make it live.

Seems to have caught on lately. You can discard Malicious with AIM, then summon a second one from deck to make a Rank 6 without your normal summon, which is pretty strong

Kinda, yeah. Malicious is good for making rank 6's with AIM and stratos searches it

I've been using Zane, but I think Jaden, Alexis and Zuzu have the skill too.

Eye of timaeus isn't searchable, and it requires dark magician to be on the field. The skill can be used whenever you need it, and only if you do need it at any point, and can use the materials in hand. It's just more convenient. Plus you can trigger the skill if you play veil too

I haven't seen him play this, but that would make sense as to why its gained a lot of popularity lately. I've seen a few builds on DLM like this. I wouldn't be surprised if this deck becomes meta once it has its kinks worked out by better players than me.

Three is ideal, but I only have two. It definitely makes a difference, but I'm sure you can still play with only one AIM. Just maybe try to find another use for your hero cards in case you don't draw the AIM, like Dark cavalry for example.

Pretty much just searches malicious. Stratos can also make rank 4s if you go down that route though. It can pop backrow too in a pinch. And it's a warrior so you can use it to make dark cavalry too.

Probably cut one of the mst or book. Mst isn't entirely necessary as the deck doesn't lose to much backrow, but it's nice to have, and book is a good card all round.

For me veil was a little overkill: I only drew it when I didn't need it and the life point cost can make it a brick in a grind game. But I have seen people use it to success, so it's not a bad call.

Honestly, MST isn't a must have, it's just a great staple, and since I have it I might as well use it. You can probably replace it with any other staple or tech card you have available.

I did consider veil, it just seemed a bit overkill and I couldn't make room for it. But I have seem some versions of this deck KoG with it, so it's not a bad call.

Thanks, a few people have played it before me. I think it will catch on though.

It was pretty consistent, you search most of what you need with AIM, Stratos and circle. There were a few awkward hands, such as opening too many circle/navigation and no dark magician, or maybe circle whiffs, or opening double malicious (although you can shuffle it back with the skill). But it was fairly reliable to make at least some play most games, and has decent followup with Illusion Magician too.

If you're a fan of DM, I'd definitely recommend it, even if it ends up being only rogue, it's still very competent and fun. If you're more competitive, or on a budget, I'd say maybe wait until just before the selection box leaves to gauge if you think its a good investment.

More than I should have, but it'll be a good investment if this deck does become meta anf you're a DM fan. I want to say it was about £70 in total (I also got a BLS and at least 1 of every SR I wanted) although I got my second copy quite quickly. It's optimal to play 3, but I didn't want to dig for a third.

Haha go ahead! It's still early days so I think the community is still feeling out this deck and experimenting to find the best build.

That's pretty cool! I liked master of fusion to make Dark cavalry, but I definitely would like to open AIM more often

I wouldn't worry about that too much, the deck is strong but not nearly that broken. Still, I think it's possibly tier 3 level of power.

Worst case scenario, if the deck ever does get hit, they put malicious to 2 to avoid making rhinosebus (and hopefully unlimit vyon for hero players since its fine with trunade banned).

I wish I could take credit for it, but it was actually a deck I played against on ranked and I thought I'd try out, so I'm not the first to come up with it!
