10 Best Normal Monsters In Yu-Gi-Oh

Yugi's legendary boss monster has the same appeal as other cards on our list but never quite broke into the competitive scene until 2019 with the printing of Magicians Soul.

While being physically weaker than Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Konami had to play to different strengths when making the Dark Magician relevant in the TCG.

There are a ton of cards that can be used in conjunction with the Dark Magician that do everything from destroying monsters or destroying spell and traps.

In the anime, the Dark Magician would never stay dead and Yugi would often special summon it over and over in a single duel. This essence is captured beautifully on Eternal Soul, a trap card that allows us to special summon the Dark Magician once each turn absolutely free.

Dark Magician is a fan favourite and there's even a sub-theme of using the Dark Magician alongside the Dark Magician Girl meaning this legendary magician will be at the forefront of Yu-Gi-Oh for a long time to come.
