Skilled Dark Magician is a spellcaster, and this monster supports the Dark Magician. This card is a level 4 monster with a respectable 1,900 ATK and 1,700 DEF. This spellcaster has two effects. He generates spell counters, and he also special summons Dark Magician.
First Effect:
Skilled Dark Magician gains one spell counter when you activate a spell card. The effect is a simple ability. Spellcasters play a lot of spells. You can consistently add spell counters to Skilled Dark Magician without any limits.
In addition, the first effect sets the stage for the second effect. Skilled Dark Magician needs three spell counters. You need to play many spells for these effects.
Second Effect:
Skilled Dark Magician adds consistency to the Dark Magician with his second effect. Skilled Dark Magician special summons Dark Magician from your hand, deck, or graveyard to the field when he has three spell counters. You gain the deck’s signature monster at the cost of a single monster and three spell counters.
In addition, Skilled Dark Magician allows you to regain Dark Magician from the graveyard. You may lose Dark Magician, due to an opponent destroying him. This effect regains the most important monster in the deck.
Furthermore, Spellbooks can quickly place three spell counters on Skilled Dark Magician. Spellbook of Secrets, Spellbook of The Master, and Spellbook of Knowledge allow you to draw cards. You can play these cards in this exact order for your advantage, and they will set Skilled Dark Magician’s second effect.
