The story of the Yugioh Dark Magician Card is a bit of a tragic one, as is much of the back story of the Pharaoh and the assorted frequently seen yugioh trading cards.
The Dark Magician originally went by the name of Mahado and was a faithful servant of the Pharaoh and the actual owner of the Millenium Ring. Mahado also just happened to be the strongest spell caster of the kingdom. The Dark Magician witnesses, with his own eyes, the destruction that Bakura is capable of when he sees a village that has been destroyed.
Despite the warning he receives from Isis, the Dark Magician seeks out Bakura and ultimately loses the fight when he gets distracted by a trap. The final words he utters as his soul combines with Ka, is to vow that he will always be with the Pharaoh and will always be a loyal servant.
Since Yugi is given the soul of the Pharaoh it makes sense that the Dark Magician would help out Yugi as much as possible and be playable whenever Yugi really needs his help. The card itself is a pretty strong card on it's own since it boasts a 2500 starting attack power and 2100 defense points. By fusing the Dark Magician Card or aging it, you can create a even more powerful card that will make any opponent flinch.
Although he does not have inherent abilities that make him abnormally stronger than other cards, you can easily make this card formidible. Whether you are a collector or a professional duelist, this is a card that you should at least understand or know how to beat, if you do not own it outright. I strongly suggest finding a place for this card in at least one of your playable decks.
