I feel like there will always be way better options, especially since extra deck space is pretty tight nowadays
Oh man, I nearly forgot about the fusion with Blue-Eyes, had a figure of that dragon back in the day.The Fang of Critias

i-hate-u Hit it!
After a mysterious challenge from Maximillion Pegasus, Kaiba returns to Duelist Kingdom to find answers about the mysterious company that is in the process of forcefuly acquiring Kaiba Corp. After a brief duel it is revealed that this Pegasus is an imposter, this imposter corners Kaiba with "The Seal of Orichalcos". But after a fierce resistance, Kaiba is chosen by the third legendary dragon, Critias.
Critias has the ability to combine with Kaiba's Trap cards, and absorb their power. Naturally Kaiba wastes no time in coming up with some hilarious powerful new Dragons. In the TCG, Critias is a Normal Spell Card.
Critias is by far the only legendary dragon that is truly memorable and we'll designed, so much so that it's card art barely changes it's anime design:
The design manages to stand on its own with barely some small touches, I do appreciate the TCG version looking more ferocious though. The background in the anime was boring and uninspired so I'm a bit disappointed in them for keeping it.
Critias is, so far, the only fusion spell that can fuse Trap cards. By using a trap that's set in your field or is in your hand, Critias will absorb the power of the trap and become a fusion monster.
So if you use Kaiba's "Tyrant Wing" you get
Or maybe a more well known Kaiba card like "Crush Card Virus"
And my personal favorite good ol' "Mirror Force"
God those are SO COOL.
Critias received support in the form of a new fusion with "Rings of Destruction"
TRIVIA TIME!
The fusion of Critias and Blue eyes. Has sadly never been released
Next up a card that embodies THAT asshole kid who said his powers were infinity PLUS ONE.
That's pretty much what I was thinking. It sounds like Konami wanted to try and balance the game by limiting extra deck use, but instead it just seems to restrict how creatively a player can construct a deck because nearly every viable deck requires a Link monster to even use a deck to it's fullest potential.
I already got it friends, issue is I've been too busy to play and construct anything worthwhile. Recent end to my long term relationship has me doing anything to not think about it, and unfortunately games haven't been on that list.

Everyone's Waifu is here!
Agni Kai I never answered your DMG questions because I wanted to save a lot of it for this review.
During his time in Battle City, Yugi is confronted by Arkana, a high ranking rare hunter who also has two copies of the extremely rare "Dark Magician". Both Duelists Duel in a death game were saws approach their locked feet every they lose LP...or maybe they're poorly edited dark energy discs that send you to the shadow realm...Who knows really?
Yugi eventually wins the Duel by summoning a different kind of Dark Magician. A Level 6, DARK, Spellcaster-Type Effect Monster. Dark Magician Girl.
And thus, millions of horns pre teens latched their fantasies on a single card design that's...well it's ok, The blue and pink armor looks good,her face is cute and the Dark Magic Circle looks nice on it. I don't mind the design team reducing her boobs because, the change to the pentagram in her chest for a red jewel is much much better looking and feel even more natural than the edgy pentagram.
Her art I feel doesn't make her feel as powerful as Dark Magician or even makes me think of her as his apprentice, which is why I like her 4th artwork the best because it makes her mirror the pose of the OG Dark Magician. also like her TCG unreleased Takahashi art, even if it's suggestive. Overall her design is much consistent than Dark Magician's and she looks bubbly and cute in all of her artworks. The cliché pink heart backgrounds suck tho. Leave the Dark Magic Circle alone!
As a card DMG is not very good, she requires 1 tribute for 2000 ATK and a pretty non threatening effect, thankfully in that unnecessary epiloguemovie that should never have happened, Yugi, free from the Pharaoh reigning him in, went full weeb with his deck and filled it with "Magician Girl" waifus, designed to bring DMG to a new level.
First off all...THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HER SPINE!?, Second this just one of many "Magician Girl" created to support DMG
If Waifu deck is not your thing, there's been support so you can build a "master & apprentice deck"
Still the Magician girls put too much focus on needing the opponent to attack them for their effects to activate, and the Dark Magician Deck is better off having his superior ancient Egyptian apprentice instead
TRIVIA TIME
Kazuki Takahashi is very protective of his art and won't allow any changes to his art, for that reason along several other cards, Dark Magician Girl having fun with her wand won't see the light of the TCG
That's awesome.
Waifu talk...
I really like tradingcardmint.com
Sorry to double post but this one is also quite a trip!I remember doing "Battle City Rules" games with my friends when I was 12, am older dude came in and challenged me to a tag Duel, one of his friends would be my partner. He and his partner used a stall burn deck while my tag team partner sabotaged my plays all to take my DMG from me, I obviously lost. Being a kid I took it and ran away crying.
Then these 3 older motherfuckers tell on me with my teacher, and the teacher instead of taking the opportunity to give us a lesson about the dangers of gambling, forced me to give my DMG.
Years Later 2y/o me is playing at a local store when the same guy comes in and apparently didn't recognize me, and he challenged me with the very same stall deck.
It really was a shame when all those stall effects got negated by Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
I didn't get my card back, but that was really satisfying.
