| − | "'''Dark World'''" ({{Ruby|暗|あん}}{{Ruby|黒|こく}}{{Ruby|界|かい}} ''Ankoku Kai'') is an [[archetype]] of cards consisting mostly of [[DARK]] [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monsters]]. They were introduced in ''[[Elemental Energy]]'', with further support in ''[[Strike of Neos]]'' and ''[[Structure Deck: Gates of the Underworld]]''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They are based around [[effects]] that [[activate]] when they are [[discard]]ed from the [[hand]] to the [[Graveyard]] by a [[card effect]]. This does not include [[cost]]s that require the user to discard, such as "[[Lightning Vortex]]" or effects that send cards from the hand to the Graveyard, without discarding, such as "[[Hand Destruction]]". "Dark World" cards benefit from the use of cards like "[[Card Destruction]]", "[[Dragged Down into the Grave]]", "[[Morphing Jar]]", "[[Trance Archfiend]]" and "[[Fabled Raven]]".
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Brron, Mad King of Dark World (character)|Brron, Mad King of Dark World]] uses this archetype in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The anime-only "[[Dark Corridor]]" also belongs to this archetype since its kanji name contains "暗黒界".
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Naming==

| − | ==Other Discard Methods==
| |
| − | <!--Notice to all editors: Do not add multiple links to one subject within an article.-->
| |
| − | "Dark World" cards do not [[activate]] if they are [[discard]]ed as part of a [[cost]] (e.g. "[[Lightning Vortex]]" or "[[Monster Reincarnation]]"), but there are other ways to discard them than by "[[Dark World Dealings]]", "[[Dark World Lightning]]" or "[[Brron, Mad King of Dark World]]". This has become easy to determine with the July 2011 "[[Problem-Solving Card Text]]" solution. Now all cards with a "discard" effect occurring after a semicolon, ";", are effects that cause "Dark World" monsters' effects to activate. These cards include:
| |
| − | * [[Card Destruction]]
| |
| − | * [[Dark Deal]]
| |
| − | * [[Dark Smog]]
| |
| − | * [[Dark Scheme]]
| |
| − | * [[Dark World Dealings]]
| |
| − | * [[Dark World Lightning]]
| |
| − | * [[Into the Void]]
| |
| − | * [[Depth Amulet]]
| |
| − | * [[Dragged Down into the Grave]]
| |
| − | * [[Fabled Raven]]
| |
| − | * [[The Cheerful Coffin]]
| |
| − | * [[Gate of the Dark World]]
| |
| − | * [[Mind Crush]]
| |
| − | * [[Morphing Jar]]
| |
| − | * [[Trance Archfiend]]
| |
| − | * [[Dangerous Machine Type-6]]
| |

| − | ==Recommended cards==
| |
| − | macro cosmos. Mess with your opponents head
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Decks==
| |
| − | no deck :(
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Weaknesses and Counter-Strategies==
| |
| − | Decks that have a big influence or that can shut down this Deck are "Six Samurai" and Decks that stop you from discarding. "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]" will completely shut down this Deck, but "[[Heavy Storm]]" and "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" would take care of those. The effects of "Dark World" monsters [[activate]] in the [[Graveyard]], so [[banish]] strategies that revolve around "[[Dimensional Fissure]]", "[[Karma Cut]]", or "[[Macro Cosmos]]" almost completely invalidate their threat, though a "Dark World" player would still be able to [[Normal Summon]] their stronger [[monster]]s and use "[[Dark World Lightning]]" to [[destroy]] [[face-down]]s. "[[The End of Anubis]]", "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]", "[[Banisher of the Light]]", "[[Abyss Dweller]]", and "[[Banisher of the Radiance]]" will also completely [[negate]] all in-Graveyard effects, making "Dark World" cards nearly useless. "[[Soul Drain]]" will negate "Dark World" effects that start a [[Chain]] from activating in the Graveyard, except for the Special Summoning of certain "Dark World" monsters, such as "[[Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World]]", as its Special Summoning does not start a "[[Chain]]". "Dark World" cards are also all [[DARK]] [[Fiend]]-[[Type]]s, making it possible for your opponent to tailor their strategy to counter those kinds of cards specifically, such as with "[[Tualatin]]". Since the majority of "Dark World" monsters have to be [[Special Summon]]ed to gain their effects, they can be handled with cards that prevent Special Summoning, such as "[[Vanity's Ruler]]" or "[[Vanity's Fiend]]". "Dark World" Decks may also run into complications when facing other "Dark World" Decks, as some of the key discard cards that let the "Dark World" monsters trigger their effects have both Duelists discard, which will activate the more dangerous effects of an opponent's "Dark World" monsters. "[[Consecrated Light]]" is also a problem, as it stops you from being able to [[attack]] with or even Summon any DARK monsters, although an easy way to get rid of it is to simply discard "[[Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World|Grapha]]" to destroy it.
