• Epic Yami is here with a new formidable deck, defeat him to obtain Magician of Dark Illusion and Master of Magicians.
• This event takes place from January 10th to January 18th.
• Dueling in Ranked Duels and against Legendary/Standard Duelists or the Vagabond in any Duel World will increase the chance of him appearing.
• Epic Yami will only appear in Duel World (DM) - not in 5D’s/GX!!
• He will not appear at the gate and the chance of him appearing is not affected by dueling at the gate.

These are his rewards, exactly like we found in the Datamined Leaks!

Complete this missions to guarantee some of the rewards!

Strategy

• Check out this video for a full successful farm with the deck
• Use The Tricky to send Silent Burning to the graveyard, this will allow you to use its effect to add Silent Magician from your deck to your hand, Tribute Tricky for Silent Magician.
• Alternatively, Use Spellbook of Secrets to search Spellbook Magician of Prophecy, summon Prophecy to then tribute it to special summon Silent Magician.
• Negate his Thousand Knives and other problematic spells with the effect of Silent Magician.

Last Turn

1. Ensure your two Silent Magician/Silent Magician LV8/The Tricky have a combined ATK of at least 5000.
2. Activate Sealed Tombs to Stop Magician Navigation Graveyard Effect
3. Summon Gravekeeper’s Vassal.
4. Target Vassal with two Union Attack and Secret Pass to the Treasures.
5. Enter the Battle Phase and attack directly for 9999+ Damage

Replacements

• Instead of the Spellbooks cards you can use Gravekeeper’s Recruiter and any draw cards, for example, Good Goblin Housekeeping, Jar of Greed, Shard of Greed, Legacy of Yata-Garasu, Wonder Wand.\
• You can use Restart instead of Sealed Tombs for more consistency but you surrender the fact that if he gets Magician Navigation into his Graveyard he’ll negate your Union Attack

Note: This deck may be more inconsistent after the update, as Lv. 40 Epic Yami can now use Ancient Rules to summon Dark Magician

Strategy

• Summon Ojama Knight or Ojama King ASAP, You need to lock up two of Yugi’s zones, if he summons Dark Magician you lose.
• Yami Yugi will not use Apprentice Illusion Magician as long as your Ojama is in Defense Postion with 0 ATK Points, so make sure you don’t activate Ojama Country until your last turn (You can set though)
• After that, set Ojama Blue to help thin your deck.

Last Turn

• Summon a second Ojama Knight or Ojama King (if you didn’t already earlier in the duel)
• Activate Ojama Country
• Switch both Ojamas into attack position
• Summon Gravekeeper’s Vassal
• Use Secret Pass to the Treasures and both Union Attack on Vassal
• Attack directly for 9999+ damage!

Replacements

• King of the Swamp can be replaced with Fusion Sage
• Ojama Country can be replaced for Shield & Sword

Strategy

Note: This deck is more susceptible to an OTK, build this if you can’t afford the ones above

• Summon Yubel using the effect of Fire King Avatar Yaksha. Fire King Island cannot be used because of Dark Magic Attack.
• Deep Diver searches either Yubel or Fire King Avatar Yaksha, Sangan searches Fire King Avatar Yaksha and Flamvell Poun searches Fire King Avatar Yaksha.
• Sealed Tombs is used in last turn for preventing Magician Navigation negation effect.
• Sometimes you may go second and don’t have the Fire King Avatar Yaksha and Yubel and he might OTK you.
