Dark Sorcerer (archetype)

"Dark Sorcerer" is a series of monsters that have low attack and defense. They usually have Summoning effects that summon another monster the moment they are Normal, Flip, or Special Summoned. Dark Sorcerers all have DARK attribute and they are usually made up of Fiends.

There isn't any Dark Sorcerer monster higher than level 4.

Play Style
Dark Sorcerer's are very weak, but good in swarming the field. The best way to swarm the field using Dark Sorcerers is by summoning "Dark Sorcerer Summoner" which Special Summons 1 other Dark Sorcerer monster from the hand or deck, and due to that new Dark Sorcerers effect you can Special Summon 1 other monster. Also, if using the effect of the second monster you Special Summoned another Dark Sorcerer then it would even be better. Thus you will have lots of monster to Tribute for stronger ones, or you can switch the Dark Sorcerers to defense mode to have a great wall of defense.

A really good way to make use of Dark Sorcers is for tribute summons. For example: You have Obelisk the Tormnetor in your hand but cannot summon it because you have 0 monsters on the field. You can activate Double Summon, Ultimate Offering, or Chain Summoning or any other card that will give you at least 2 Normal Summon chances. Then you can Normal Summon "Dark Sorcerer Summoner" and with its effect Special Summon "Dark Sorcerer Skull" and with the new cards effect special summon "Summoned Skull". Then due to the effect of Double Summon, Ultimate Offering, or Chain Summoning or any other card that gives you at leats 2 Normal Summon chances you can still Normal Summon Obelisk the Tormentor by tributing your 3 monsters. That way you have summoned an Egyptian God Card very easily.

Another way without using Double Summon, Ultimate Offering, or Chain Summoning or any other card that gives you at least 2 Normal Summon chances is if you SPECIAL SUMMON "Dark Sorcerer Summoner" without loosing your Normal Summon chance, and then swarm the field and tribute monsters for a powerful monster without using the 3 magic cards or cards that allow you to Normal Summon more than once.
