It’s hard to believe that the premier competitive duelling platform Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel has been around for four years, but at this point most Yu-Gi-Oh fans probably can’t imagine life without it.
To celebrate this anniversary though there obviously needs to be some sort of mascot, and who better than the signature card of Yugi Muto The Dark Magician. I’ve been summoning this iconic mage for decades at this point, and I love that Konami have ensured that he’s a viable option for duellists for the majority of the game’s existence.
For you Master Duel mainstays there are new art variants of the Dark Magician and associated cards available to grab during the anniversary event, some entirely for free and others hiding in secret rare packs. This particular campaign is live right now until April 9th, with plenty of different cosmetics and rewards to unlock. You’d better start logging on today to get your goodies, and while you’re there should probably play a game or two with the ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defence for nostalgia’s sake.
KONAMI announces Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL is celebrating its 4th anniversary. Iconic monsters have been the face of each Anniversary Campaign, and none are so iconic as the ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defence, Dark Magician, which returns to Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL in a new, limited-time Alternative Art. Duelists will also receive various login bonuses throughout the campaign and can purchase exclusive accessories themed after the ultimate wizard.
Fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game’s spectacular Spellcaster can pick up Alternative Art cards of Dark Magician, Secrets of Dark Magic, and Dark Magical Circle from the “Darkest Magics” Secret Pack. These Alternative Art cards replace the regular artwork equivalents for the duration of this campaign. In addition, Alternative Art cards of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion are available again during the campaign period from the “Beyond the Next Level” Selection Pack.
Furthermore, stunning accessory bundles will also be available at the same time, allowing Duellists to decorate their Decks with exclusive cosmetics. One of the accessory bundles is themed after the ultimate wizard, and includes a Protector featuring the Alternative Art of Secrets of Dark Magic, a Collector’s File “Dark Magician -Dark Magic Inheritance-,” and a Coin Dark Magician.
