Watching Yu-Gi-Oh! short videos is making the veteran players lose...

What was the power of Dark Magician? Yugi Muto and Pharaoh Atem had already shown the old-school duelists of the DM world more than enough shocking displays! Now, in Yusei Hoshi's world, what kind of build did Dark Magician have, and how strong was it? These were all unknowns. With Yugi actively speaking up, it had opened a door for them! Later, they could also learn about the decks they wanted to know about by chatting with Yusei Hoshi!

Yusei Hoshi: "Alright, let's go with this video! "A Beginner's Guide to Dark Magician! Everyone is a Dark Magician!"!"

Yusei Hoshi: "Mr. Yugi Muto, and the Pharaoh within you, I believe watching this will be quite rewarding for you."

...

In the main world, Yusei Hoshi selected the video. The short video began to play, and the blogger, "30-Year-Old Dark Magician," began to speak slowly.

30-Year-Old Dark Magician: "Friends who clicked on this video have good taste. Although the Dark Magician deck isn't very strong in the current meta, I believe that one day it will climb to the top of the mainstream!"

30-Year-Old Dark Magician: "So, what does a Dark Magician deck build look like right now? Let's first take a simple look at a more common, mainstream Dark Magician build."

...

Two sentences. That's all it took to wipe the smile of anticipation from Yugi Muto's face. What did this guy mean? In Yusei Hoshi's world, the current Dark Magician wasn't very strong? Wait! This was Dark Magician! The Dark Magician! How could Dark Magician not be strong? Could it be... it couldn't even compare to Blue-Eyes White Dragon? Or perhaps... the Dark Magician deck couldn't compare to Eldlich and HEROes?

Yugi felt a little sad, and Pharaoh Atem couldn't help but frown slightly. Both were loyal users of Dark Magician. Hearing this video blogger say that Dark Magician wasn't strong in that environment made them both a little uncomfortable.

Seto Kaiba, however, had a mocking expression. His rival's Dark Magician... was no good? That was excellent news.

But before the DM world could start a heated discussion, the decklist had already appeared.

Three copies of the vanilla Dark Magician, three copies of Magicians' Souls, three copies of Magician's Rod! Then the standard three copies of Ash Blossom, three copies of Maxx "C", and so on!

It was simple and unadorned, but from it, Yugi also noticed something different!

Ritual Dark Magician? Dark Magical Circle? Eternal Soul? Secrets of Dark Magic? Soul Servant? Apprentice Illusion Magician? Huh? What are all these cards?

Wait! Is this a Dark Magician deck build? Where was Summoned Skull? Where was Gaia The Fierce Knight? Where was Curse of Dragon? Were all the other low-level monsters not needed anymore?

This is... a Dark Magician build?

"Aibo? How is this completely different from what I imagined?"

"The other me, perhaps this is the Dark Magician of the higher world."

Yugi and the Pharaoh within him conversed, both completely dumbfounded by this build!

Kaiba's mocking expression also vanished. He had thought that the Dark Magician build might not have changed much! But after seeing this, the changes were a bit too big! You call this weak? The Extra Deck was maxed out with Fusion aces! It even had a black-bordered Xyz Dark Magician! It even brought in Link monsters! Wait? When did the Dark Magician's Extra Deck become so diverse? Not to mention the dazzling array of Spells and Traps!

"Damn it, Yugi's Dark Magician is indeed not so simple," Kaiba muttered, his eyes coldly scanning the other unfamiliar cards in the build. "Just from the build, it seems to be no less impressive than my Blue-Eyes White Dragon. But as for its actual strength..."

...

GX World

Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon were both decks used by the legendary duelists of the previous generation. So when they saw that the next short video was about Dark Magician, the entire Duel Academy was buzzing with excitement! Dark Magician! The deck of Yugi Muto, the former King of Games! But... why was only Dark Magician the same? The rest was completely different?

"Mamma Mia? This build... it seems to be Dark Magician, but also not Dark Magician," Professor Crowler said with a blink and a serious tone. "The King of Games Yugi Muto's build wasn't this pure. This should be... a pure Dark Magician deck!"

The other duelists heard this and nodded in agreement.

"Uh? Professor, are you sure it's a 'pure' Dark Magician deck?" Chancellor Sheppard asked Crowler. "Why do I see so many other cards in the Extra Deck?"

Only then did Crowler react, his gaze shifting to the Extra Deck. One look was all it took for him to fall silent. In the Extra Deck, only the Fusion and Xyz monsters had some relation to Dark Magician. The Ritual and Synchro monsters... it wasn't that there were none, it was just that they were completely unrelated. Just like how Blue-Eyes White Dragon ran the Galaxy-Eyes package, this Dark Magician deck ran the ace boss monsters of other archetypes they didn't know!
