DARK
,no edit summary
Being one of the most versatile and common Attributes, DARK monsters and the cards akin to them can work with many different [[Main Deck|Deck]] Types, and rarely does a typical deck lack at least one. Because they are so widespread, DARK monsters have themes comparable to many other Attributes (for example, there are enough burn-damage DARK monsters to rival [[FIRE]] monsters). However, the one thing that DARK monsters specialize in more than any other Attribute are card effects relating to the [[Graveyard]], often by using it as a resource in some way (though the predominately-DARK "[[Gravekeeper's]]" Archetype notably ''prevents'' the use of the Graveyard as a resource). Most other DARK monsters like "[[Blackwing]]" monsters have swarming abilities that allow you to summon monsters to your field to overwhelm your opponent by numbers in battle.
It should be noted that Monster's Attributes don't indicate whether they are good or evil, heroic or villanous etc, and DARK doesn't necessarily symbolize evil, unholiness and corruption. While DARK hosts plenty of monsters with themes related to the infernal, perverse, immoral, and twisted, from demons, incarnations of evil, the undead, and corruption, from "[[lswarm]]" (a majority of which are called "Evilswarm", further indicating they are evil) and "[[Dark World]]", this is not necessarily true of all DARK monsters. Most of the protagonists, whether in the anime and manga series, use at least some DARK monsters, with those representative of wisdom, understanding of the franker and toned elements of the world, the tranquility and peace of the shadows, and necessary balance in justified force and the inevitable phenomena of cessation through destruction. This can be seen in monsters such as [[Zure, Knight of Dark World|Zure]] and the "[[Dark Magician (archetype)|Dark Magician" family]] that possess heroic and altruisic qualities. Main characters such as Yugi, Joey, Kaiba, Jaden, etc. frequently use DARK monsters, and Yugi's and Joey's most favored monsters are DARK such as "Dark Magician" and "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", respectively. "Dark Magician Girl" for example has a positive personality despite being a DARK monster. The "[[Ally of Justice]]" and "[[Destiny HERO]] archetypes are in fact good monsters that are dedicated to fighting evil. Furthermore, the "[[Blackwing]]" archetype is used by one of the heroes in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]], [[Crow Hogan]]. Most of the protagonists, whether in the anime and manga use at least some DARK monsters. This is not necessarily true of all DARK monsters, however, as some DARK archetypes such as "[[lswarm]]" (a majority of which are called "Evilswarm", further indicating they are evil) and "[[Dark World]]" clearly closer represent evil or immorality.
DARK-based archetypes include: "[[Archfiend]]", "[[Ally of Justice]]", "[[Blackwing]]", "[[Dark Magician (archetype)|Dark Magician]]", "[[Dark Scorpion]]", "[[Destiny HERO]]","[[Dark World]]", "[[Gagaga]]", "[[Ghostrick]]", "[[Gravekeeper's]]", "[[Infernity]]", "[[Inzektor]]", "[[lswarm]]", "[[Reptilianne]]", "[[Shaddoll]]", "[[Umbral Horror]]", "[[Vampire]]", "[[Burning Abyss]]" and "[[Raidraptor]]".
