Another is the potential of a Dark Magician deck with a Chaos theme. One example of this is the potential for a Dark Magician deck with a focus on Rituals. The card makes your combos more consistent but also opens new avenues of play. Overall, it’s difficult to say how much Illusion does for the archetype in just a few words. Furthermore, this allows Illusion to be used again next turn to search a Dark Magician monster of your choice. This effect is good since it provides a negate and a way to summon Dark Magician without needing a S/T. Illusion’s 2nd effect is a negate that summons Dark Magician from the GY while returning itself to the hand. This effect also stacks a card from your hand which is useful for returning cards like Dark Magician Girl or Red-Eyes Fusion back to the deck.

Needless to say, this is great for the consistency of the archetype since it gives you access to Magician’s Rod and Magicians’ Soul 2 of the strongest cards in the archetype. Illusion’s 1st effect activates in the hand and lets you search almost any Dark Magician monster. One of them boosts the consistency of the archetype while the other provides disruption when it’s on the field.

While its effect isn’t anything crazy, it’s nice to have and can be impactful in the right time and place. Overall, Timaeus is a decent extender that’s easy to summon. There are also situational options such as Amulet Dragon and Mysterion the Dragon Crown which can be powerful in certain matchups. For example, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Dark Magician the Dragon Knight are strong options if you have access to Dark Magician. This effect is good for summoning monsters that use SPELLCASTER and DRAGON monsters as fusion materials. The effect also requires the use of a SPELLCASTER monster as fusion material. Timaeus’s 2nd effect acts as a pseudo- Polymerization. This works well with S/Ts you may want in the GY such as Soul Servant and Magician Navigation. Furthermore, you can also send cards from your hand for this effect. Cards ideal to send for this effect can be extra Dark Magical Circles or the new Field Spell. This is pretty easy to achieve as Dark Magicians have an abundance of continuous S/Ts that linger on the field after their initial activation. Timaeus’s 1st effect special summons itself from the hand by sending 1 SPELLCASTER or 1 S/T that lists Dark Magician in its text to the GY. It has 2 effects which makes Fusion summoning easier in Dark Magicians. Timaeus the Dragon of Destiny is a Level 8 DRAGON and an extender for the archetype. While it doesn’t do anything when going 1st, its utility gives it enough reason to be considered in any Dark Magician deck. Overall, Magikuriboh is a solid card that has a lot of value in longer games. Since most players expect Dark Magician to be summoned from S/Ts like Eternal Soul, some players might over-commit and get punished accordingly. This can catch your opponent off-guard if you have no other S/Ts on the field. It can surprise your opponent on their turn and can be deadly if paired with Dark Magical Circle. Magikuriboh is also a great defensive card. This makes Magikuriboh harder to negate and more likely to resolve. This is important because while cards on the field are susceptible to removal, cards in your hand are much safer. While it summons Dark Magician like most cards in the archetype, the difference between it and a card like Eternal Soul is that it’s a Hand Trap.
