Darklords, known as Fallen Angels in Japan, are a series of DARK Fairy-Type monsters used by Midori Hibiki in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga. "Nurse Reficule the Fallen One" is also a "Darklord" monster, due to her Japanese name containing "Fallen Angel", but is not used by Midori. Much of their effects are focused on sending Darklords to the Graveyard and then summoning them. Much of this Archetype have been released as V-Jump Magazine Promotional Cards. No one really runs a Darklord deck due to the fact that the only english versions of the cards sell for around $400 to over $1000, however the korean versions of the darklords are available for a fraction of the price. 3 copies of korean darklord edeh arae alone can sell for as low as $3 with $0.95 for shipping.

Play Style

The Darklords have a few things in common: in addition to being DARK Fairies, they all have high levels (ranging from 5 to 10) and all of them have high ATK to match. Also, some of them, such as "Darklord Superbia", can swarm the field. In order to play these cards valhalla is recommended, however Coat of justice is more efficient due to the fact that ones field needs to be clear in order to use valhalla and coat of justice only requires a level 1 fairy to be on the field in order to special summon any fairy from ones hand, recommended level 1 fairies are Freya, spirit of victory and even d.d. sprite. Freya can boost the attack of all of ones fairies by 400 atk and def, and d.d. sprite can reset a monster on your side of the field, so if you used d.d. sprite to reset darklord zerato after you activated his built in raigeki effect he would return unharmed. The second way of summoning the darklords is with Mausoleum of the Emperor, however due to its high cost of Mausoleums effect it is recommended that one run three copies of draining shield to gain life points and negate attacks as a bonus. However, if you are using Royal Decree it is recommended to run three Cestus of Daglas instead, unless you include two or three copies of Splendid Venus so as to not have your traps affected by royal decree. No matter what it is highly advised to run two to three copies of Celestial Transformation, and Inferno Reckless Summon due to the fact that one can summon and swarm the field with high level fairies this way. One example would be if one choose Athena, special summon it with Celestial then target it with inferno reckless summon you now have three Athenas on the field and if the other two monster card zones are occupied with fairies one can activate Athenas sacrifice and revive and burn ability. Just by bringing back one fairy all three Athenas burn ability activate, and inflict 1800 damage, 1800 times 3 equals 5400 damage before one even attacks. One can perform Athena and Darklord Zerato OTK's this way. (you can't actually do that, because of the ATK limitation on inferno reckless summon.)

"Marie the Fallen One" - Although she has 「堕天使」 in her Japanese Name, she isn't considered a Darklord monster because of her Type which is Fiend. However, should the name become the focus of the Archetype, then her Type will not matter at all.
