In the ancient days of the Game King, the use of magic cards was superior to monster cards and trap cards, which made the divine magicians who could recover magic cards receive special attention from the card guys at that time. However, instead of recovering the powerful single-card operations of the deceased Su Sheng Lightning Strike, what makes the Divine Magician shine is the "MCV" deck with the Victory Dragon as the core.
The core idea of the MCV deck is to repeatedly launch the effect through the Book of the Moon, the Book of the Sun, these magic cards, constantly making the transformation pot, the chaos pot and other inverted monsters repeatedly launch the effect, while blocking the opposite attack, reducing the opposite HP to below 2400 points, accumulating the conditions for the victory dragon to appear, and finally directly attacking the opposing player with the victory dragon, which is to make the opponent's health zero, trigger the effect of the victory dragon to directly win the MATCH game.
Among them, the Divine Magician himself is a flipping monster, which is in line with the MCV's infinite flipping tactics, coupled with his ability to recover magic cards, which can trigger the key card day book that triggers the active monster to flip, and the moon book that restores the monster to the covered state to take back the hand from the graveyard. With the flip monster of several excellent "pot" characters at that time, under certain conditions, it can even achieve a perpetual loop of LOOP.
So on March 1, 2006, the K Society designated the Divine Magician as a restriction card, along with the Dark Mask that can recover the light of the desert in the cemetery. At the same time, the Victory Dragon and the Future Pot were banned. The above 4 cards were the core cards in the MCV card group at that time, so this wave of the K Society was obviously a suppression of the MCV card group.
However, the K Society seems to have a special preference for the Victory Dragon, after all, the special victory effect of the Victory Dragon can be regarded as a new idea in the card design of the K Society, and the K Society probably does not want to admit defeat so quickly. So in September 2006, the K Society released the Victory Dragon from the Small Dark Room, but in order to prevent the MCV card deck from becoming too rampant, the Divine Magician and the Royal Shrine were further restricted to restricted cards, and only 1 card was allowed in the deck.
With the comeback of the Victory Dragon MCV deck also resurrected almost at the same time, its special effect of forcing the game into a duel to determine the winner or loser was still favored by the majority of players, and soon set off a bloody storm in the arena. In this case, the K Society quickly banned the Victory Dragon on March 1, 2007, and the Divine Magician was imprisoned in the Small Black Room at this time. At this point, the MCV deck completely bid farewell to the historical stage of the game king.
On September 1, 2007, probably feeling that the MCV was a bit too desperate, the K Society released another picture of the Divine Magician, which changed from a prohibition to a restriction. Originally, I thought that after losing the MCV, the Divine Magician would stop a little, but from the MCV's body, the cards had recognized the bug that the Divine Magician was able to recover the magic card ability.
So when the Divine Magician was released, the original MCV players were surprised to find that as the COMPROMISE field of the MCV, the main force of the Morph pot could still play ftK with a high achievement rate, which was the pot cutting deck. The core of the pot cutting deck is to use magic cards similar to the shallow burial, the sun book and the moon book, so that the transformation pot that has been restricted at that time continues to activate the effect, so that the other party can drain his own deck, and lose after no card to draw.
Because this deck has a great demand for key magic cards, the Divine Magician's ability to recover magic will make the system run much smoother. In fact, at that time, not only the Divine Magician, but even the mining of the Philosopher's Stone, which needed to discard 2 cards in the hand, was allowed to recycle 1 magic card in the graveyard, which was enough to see the great demand for magic recycling in the pot card set.
As a result, the appearance of the pot card set immediately caused the newly released Divine Magician to be locked up in the Small Black Room again, at this time on March 1, 2008, just one season after the Divine Magician was released. Along with the sorcerer's mining, this card was also restricted at this point in time. However, strangely enough, as the core of the pot cutting deck, the shapeshifter still maintains its identity as a restricted card and is not locked up in the small black room.
Then, in October 2016, the K Society officially unbanned the Divine Magician from the OCG form, and in April 2017, it completely broke away from the forbidden card table and became an unlimited card. At present, although K Society is still obsessed with designing some monsters in the reverse series, it is difficult to appear such a dominant and strategic deck as MCV and Pot. This has to make people wonder whether the reversal of this mechanism, which requires a one-turn delay to launch the effect, has lagged behind the high-speed environment of the current game king.
