Dark Sage, and Why I Typically Hate This Card

Dark Sage, and Why I typically hate this card

The Dark Sage is one of those Yugioh cards that I absolutely hate, and for good reason, it is a really very old, stupid, and practically useless Yugioh card! Let’s look at the facts surrounding the Dark Sage, first off, who the heck still puts a Dark Magician AND a Time Wizard in their decks? On top of that, it only has 2800 attack points, and 3200 defense points, and it has a pretty weak special effect to for a monster card of this caliber. It has 9 stars so takes literally 3 sacrifices to make, and on top of that, its effect only allows you to add a spell card from your deck to your hand, which can be useful in some instances, but I mean come on, you’re going to sacrifice two monsters to get a Dark Magician out, then you are going to draw a Time Wizard to play the Dark Sage in a 20 to 40 card Yugioh deck? Doubt it.

Anyways, this card showed up in an episode of Yugioh where Yami Yugi is playing Joey Wheeler, his best friend at the time, in order to try and win the Duelist Kingdom tournament set up by Maximillion Pegasus, and become the duelist king. Seto Kaiba had previously gotten all the way to the end of the tournament and had gotten the chance to duel Pegasus, only to lose, and to get locked up and trapped inside of a Yugioh card, yet the guy still doesn’t believe in the heart of the cards even in later seasons! Anyways, with the Dark Sage and with Black Skull Dragon, Yami Yugi, Yugi Moto’s more powerful self, is able to quickly transform his 2500 attack point Dark Magician into a 2800 attack point Dark Sage (which seems like a lot of work for a 300 point increase….but I digress) before beating Joey Wheeler in the duel. Not a bad episode of Yugioh Duel Monsters, just something that I would call a really bad, useless card, 0/10 would not recommend.
