Western society has issues with: black (not white), devil/demon and angels, a little cleavage (although they didn't mind on the Amazoness cards)
There are more to be mentioned but I think that's enough of a sample.
Konami are cheap hence reuse graphics. eg. "Dark Hole" image in "Non Spellcasting Area"
- - -
The Dark Magician Girl - - outside of a devoted Dark Magician Deck IS CRAP!!! (ok not crap... just not really a tourny-playable card hence less essential)
She's in the Magician's Force Set because she does complement the spellcaster deck design, and she also became a Secret Rare because Konami realised how motivated some fanatics are and will buy 300+ boosters to get that one card (I'm exaggerating abeit there lol^^).
Anyway - - she's more of a collectors card then a anything being the most expensive and most useless card in the game. Has potential - - but not enough to warrant the $69.95 in eBay in Australia.
Overall: DMGirl = very popular and very rare. (I'd take the Japanese version over the US version anyday ^^) I really wanna see the episode on the TV show with her character in it - - or the manga even... Mana, I think her name was originally before was Dark Magician Girl.

I'm guessing that's the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon - looks very elegant- what's it power/abilities? and I'm also assuming the other card is the Pyramid of Light. what does that do? well heres wat the 2 cards do: Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon Dragon / Effect Monster This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by offering 1 "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" on your side of the field as a Tribute. Increase the ATK of this card by 300 points for each Dragon-type monster in your Graveyard. You can negate the effect of Spell, Trap, and Monster Cards that designate this card. Pyramid of Light If this face-up card is removed from your side of the field, destroy "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" on your side of the field and remove them from play. when u ever need to find out wat a card does this is a good site www.pojo.com/yu-gi-oh/cotd/ Dark Magician Girl is really only for collectors in my opinion honestly the effect isn't all that great... it's just to hard to get it to it's max attack which is about 5000 = /

I agree with you, she is for collectors cause she seems to populare among the female veiwers of the show, who might not want to play the game but just have the card of her.

Female viewers only?
Certainly popular, but only a teenager with excess money in his pocket or a collector would fork out that sorta money for a little piece of cardboard lol...
She is the most popular card for her relative crapiness... outside a DM deck.

The D magician girl can power up to 5000? I thought it was d magicians or black chaos mages in your graveyard (+300 each) wouldn't that be like 3800? I should recheck the card again.... you can get the magicians into your graveyard with cards like painful choice... and then maybe use graceful charity to get rid of the other magician in your hand

ATK/5600 actually lol
And its for "...in either player's graveyard." so it has the power. Its a fun little card to use. But fairly uncommon that the effect wil be used to its full extent. Usually people would power it up with United We Stand or Mage Power. Its a usable 1Tribute monster.

I really doubt the opponent with have d magicians and/or magicians of black chaos in their decks. If they do, it'd probably be the same kind of deck again... I forgot what those 2 cards did... Now to think of it, that stategy might work. Even with one d magician girl, you play painful choice once, choose 3 d magicians and 2 magicians of black choas, 4 go to the graveyard (you can try to get rid of the magician in your hand somehow) but d magician girl already gets 1200 power bonus = attack of 3200, not bad at all.... * goes off to try and make that deck on the gba*

Ok now assuming that the average deck has 17 monster cards it would b really really REALLY bad if a deck was built around dark magician girl and it’s effect… think about it u would hav 3 dark magicians, 3 magicians of black chaos, and u would have 3 dark magician girls (since u gonna base a deck around it, its only logical u have three…) that makes 9 tribute monsters… 17 –9 = 8 monster card spaces left for non-tribute monsters… u beginning to see the problem yet? the only thing that’s worse then drawing a hand full of magic and trap cards is when u got a hand full of tribute monsters u can’t even use -_- even if u somehow manage to get painful choice on ur first draw because of the bad tribute and non-tribute monster ratio it’ll b a pain to get DMG out on the field I suppose u could try dumping DMG and reviving it… but it’s honestly not worth all that trouble just to power up one card, considering that it’ll probably b killin within 2-3 turns : / u c the problem with this card isn’t powering it up it’s how much space it wastes in ur deck!>.< thast why I consider this a next to useless card… : / and like u said and opponent will almost never have dark magicians and/or magicians of black chaos in their deck… the only reason i can think of trying to make a deck like this is just for fun... but even then i reckon i'd lose b4 getting to use DMG ^^'

only way is to try it out When I make a deck, I don't really care about ratios but there is a problem of having all the tribute monsters in your hand (eg. first turn having lots of d magicians in your hand) of course it's not one of the strongest decks but not all decks are made to win effecient - I have this really funny deck that takes a long time to win and my combos can get recked easierly not it's my original idea and... I think I'll talk about it later

My Amazoness Deck... starting to think it gets PMS - - omg... some days it kills it anything which is thrown at it (kills iggy's deck (heaps in a row) on a good dai) and other dais it likes to just dies (loses (heaps in a row) to iggy's deck on a bad day) Maybe its my curse, that no girls real life or on a piece of cardboard ever like me... *suddenly feels a 'vicious' comment coming...*

PMS... i don't want to imagine the possibility of cards having PMS -_- that would just be wrong = / and dw I’m worse then u when it comes to girls been single for over 17 years and counting (almost 18!!! YAY!!!) anyway this is kinda getting off topic so back to yugioh so if a win efficiently wats the point of the game = / when ppl play a game the idea is to win even when u play with a deck that’s built for fun *coughDMGcough* u’ll build it to be as good as it possibly can and the other problem I forgot to mention bout DMG deck is lack of speed ^^; which is a big no no when play yugioh… oh well maybe I’m criticizing too much but anyway bottom line is DMG is good for fun when ur mucking round with friends but bad for actually winning… >.< and honestly how many ppl in this world actually think losing is fun >.< oh well… testing out that gravekeeper deck on YVD was fun though right Blu =D lol oh and call me iggy one more time and I’ll kick ur ass at school =D

lol, I'm assuming this is using real cards? If the deck your own or someone gave it to you to play?
