"'''Darklord'''", known as "'''Fallen Angel'''" ({{Ruby|堕|だ}}{{Ruby|天|てん}}{{Ruby|使|し}} ''Datenshi'') in the Japanese version, is an [[archetype]] comprised primarily of [[DARK]] [[Fairy]] [[Effect Monster|Effect]] [[Monster Card|monsters]]. They are used by [[Midori Hibiki]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]], and by [[Anna Des]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures]]''.
 
 
Though members of the archetype have existed since 2001, the archetype had no support until the release of ''[[Booster SP: Destiny Soldiers]]'' in the ''OCG'' and ''[[Destiny Soldiers]]'' in the ''TCG'', both in 2016.
 
 
== History ==
 
In the ''OCG'', many of the early members of this [[archetype]] were released as ''[[V Jump promotional cards]]''.
 
  
In the ''TCG'', the archetype's first two members, "[[Darklord Marie]]" and "[[Darklord Nurse Reficule]]", were both formerly known as "'''Marie the Fallen One'''" and "'''Nurse Reficule the Fallen One'''" respectively, suggesting that "'''Fallen One'''" was planned to be this archetype's original name in the ''TCG''. However, since the release of "[[Darklord Zerato]]" in the ''TCG'' version of ''[[Phantom Darkness]]''; all subsequent cards of the archetype introduced in all English media prior to ''Destiny Soldiers'' had "Darklord" in their names. "Marie the Fallen One" and "Nurse Reficule the Fallen One" were renamed to their current names upon their reprints in ''Destiny Soldiers'', to clearly mark their status as "Darklord" cards.
+
"'''Darklord'''", known as "'''Fallen Angel'''" ({{Ruby|堕|だ}}{{Ruby|天|てん}}{{Ruby|使|し}} ''Datenshi'') in the Japanese version, are a [[series]] of [[DARK]] [[Fairy]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] used by [[Midori Hibiki]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]]. 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 promotional cards]]''.
  
== Lore ==
+
With the release of ''[[Legendary Collection 2]]'', "Darklord" Decks have become readily accessible, with a copy of each "Darklord" previously only available as a YCS prize available in each.
{{Main|The Valuable Book EX card storylines#No. 08: Condemned Witch}}
 
  
== Members ==
 
Nearly all members of this archetype (except for three; see below) are based on figures or concepts from Judeo-Christian and Abrahamic theology, and are the contrasting DARK and Fairy types to represent their status as fallen angels.

==Playing style==
+
==Play Style==
A "Darklord" Deck focuses on [[send]]ing its cards to the Graveyard and then reviving their monsters from there, especially "[[Darklord Superbia]]", who then in turn can also revive another Fairy monster.  
+
"Darklord" monsters have a few things in common: in addition to being DARK Fairy-Type monsters, 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.
  
With the exception of "[[Darklord Morningstar]]", all of the Level 6 and higher Main Deck "Darklord" monsters from ''[[Destiny Soldiers]]'' and onwards share the following [[condition]]s and effect:
+
A "Darklord" Deck focuses on sending [[DARK]] Fairy-Type monsters to the Graveyard and then reviving them; however, bringing back a monster- especially a "Darklord"- requires a more permanent solution rather than relying on one time use cards such as "[[Monster Reborn]]", "[[Call of the Haunted]]", "[[Ribbon of Rebirth]]", etc. It is recommended to run multiple copies of "[[Athena]]", "[[The Dark Creator]]" or "[[Sephylon, the Ultimate Timelord]]". The downside of using the effect of "The Dark Creator" is that a clear field is needed. One can send one "The Dark Creator" to the Graveyard, then summon "[[Phantom of Chaos]]" to copy its effect, though this is a solution that cannot be used for more than one turn. "Sephylon" is extremely powerful but requires having at least 10 monsters in the Graveyard to summon him. For these reasons, "Athena" is the most reliable and best option. "Athena" also works well with "[[Darklord Zerato]]", whose effect would cause it to destroy itself at the end of turn. Using the effect of "Athena" you can send "Zerato" to the Graveyard and then revive it, thus resetting "Zerato" and preventing it from being destroyed.
#"''You can only Special Summon "CARD NAME(s)" once per turn.''"  
 
#"''(Quick Effect): You can pay 1000 [[LP]], then target 1 "Darklord" [[Spell Card|Spell]]/[[Trap Card|Trap]] in your GY; this effect becomes that target's effect when that card is activated, then shuffle that target into the [[Deck]]. You can only use this/each effect of "CARD NAME" once per turn.''"
 
  
These monsters have their own unique effects:
+
This Deck can have many ways of discarding cards to the Graveyard. You can use monster effects such as "[[Armageddon Knight]]'s" or "[[Dark Grepher]]'s" effect, or the effects of "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" and "[[Darklord Zerato]]", in order to discard cards to the Graveyard. Additionally, you can use "[[Trade-In]]" (you run many Level 8 monsters) and "[[Hand Destruction]]" in order to combine both discarding and drawing power. This deck, due to the large accumulation of [[DARK]] monsters, can also run DARK monster Deck support cards such as "[[Dark Illusion]]" or "[[Allure of Darkness]]".

Sending "Darklord" cards to the Graveyard can be done with monster effects such as those of "Amdusc, "Ixchel", "Nasten" which send from the hand. Meanwhile, "[[Darklord Ukoback]]" and "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" can send "Darklord" cards or Fairy monsters (respectively). Bringing back "Darklord" monsters requires a more permanent solution rather than relying on one-time use cards such as "[[Monster Reborn]]", "[[Call of the Haunted]]" or "[[Ribbon of Rebirth]]" but within the archetype, "[[Darklord Contact]]", "[[Darklord Descent]]" and "[[The First Darklord]]" are viable choices. Although Special Summoning from the Graveyard is a major theme of "Darklord", a swarm play-style is unsuitable, due to many of the archetype's newer Main Deck members being limited by this shared condition. This, as well as the variety of [[Level]]s "Darklord" monsters have, makes it difficult to [[Xyz Summon]] with this archetype (except for Rank 8, as "Superbia" and "Zerato" do not have these Summoning restrictions).
+
==Deck Types==
 +
===Darklord OTK===
 +
In order to perform this OTK you need to have plenty of DARK attribute monsters in your Graveyard plus one "[[Athena]]".
  
The "Darklord" Spell/Traps are as follows:
+
How to do it:
  
{| class="wikitable"
+
Play "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" and then Special Summon "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]". Use "Asmodeus'" effect to fill your Graveyard with DARK Fairy-type Monsters. Eventually your opponent will have to get rid of him to prevent him/her from the monster's 3000 ATK Points threat. When the opponent does, once again use "Valhalla's" effect so as to Special Summon "[[Athena]]" or you can Special Summon "[[The Dark Creator]]", then Special Summon "[[Darklord Superbia]]" and use "Superbia's" effect to Special Summon "[[Athena]]". Afterward, either Summon a Fairy-type monster or send "[[Darklord Superbia]]" to the Graveyard in order to Special Summon another "[[Darklord Superbia]]" and use her effect to Special Summon another Darklord such as "[[Darklord Zerato]]". Use "Zerato's" effect to clear the field and then head for a Direct Attack, performing an OTK.
! Name!! Effect and notes
 
|-
 
| [[Banishment of the Darklords]] || A Spell that adds 1 "Darklord" card from the Deck to the hand, except itself. It is the archetype's main searcher.
 
|-
 
| [[Darklord Contact]] || A Spell that Special Summons 1 "Darklord" monster from the GY in Defense position. Note that due to the effect of "Superbia" being a "when" optional effect, Special Summoning "Superbia" via a "Darkord" monster copying this card's effect does not allow "Superbia" to activate its effect.
 
|-
 
| [[Darklord Descent]] || A Trap that Speical Summons up to 2 "Darklord" monsters from the GY, which have the same Level as 1 face-up monster the opponent controls.
 
|-
 
| [[Darklord Enchantment]] || A Trap that takes control of 1 of the opponent's monsters until the end of this turn.
 
|-
 
| [[Darklord Rebellion]] || A Trap that dstroys one card on the field.
 
|-
 
| [[Darklord Uprising]] || A Trap that Fusion Summons 1 DARK Fusion Monster using materials in the hand or field. It serves as the archetype's main method of Fusion Summoning their sole Fusion Monster "[[The First Darklord]]"
 
|-
 
| [[The Sanctified Darklord]] || A Trap that negate the effects of one monster on the field and gain LP equal to its ATK.
 
|}
 
 
 
The shared Quick Effect of the "Darklord" monsters allows even a single copy of a "Darklord" Spell/Trap to be potentially "used" twice even on the same turn (despite their [[only once per turn]] card activation limitations) or during the opponent's turn whilst recycling them into the Deck. The applications of this effect include an additional search with "Banishment of the Darklords", an additional revival with "Darklord Contact" or "Darklord Descent" and using the other Trap effects to disrupt the opponent's plays which can be done more quickly and easily with the "Darklord" monsters' Quick Effects rather than activating the Trap Cards normally (which all of them except "Darklord Descent" share the card activation cost of sending a "Darklord" monster from the user's hand or field, causing the player to lose hand/field advantage while "Darklord Descent" requires half of the player's LP to be activated). This gives the "Darklord" Traps better utility of being used as discard costs for the effects of other cards or being sent from the Deck with "Ukoback". "Condemned Darklord", "Darklord Morningstar", "[[Darklord Uprising]]" (through activating the card itself) and "[[The Sanctified Darklord]]" all have effects which can increase LP to off-set the LP costs of using the effects of "Darklord" cards.
 
 
 
In addition to Special Summoning from the Graveyard, "Darklord" has also historically featured [[Tribute Summon]]ing their high-Level monsters more easily. "Darklord Zerato" and "Darklord Desire" can each be Tribute Summoned with just 1 Tribute (under the appropriate condition in the case of "Zerato"). The Tribute Summon strategy is a supported by a few "Darklord" cards that works with every Fairy monster; namely "Condemned Darklord" who enables the Tribute Summon of a Fairy monster that requires 2 Tributes by banishing any 2 monsters from the Graveyard, while "[[Capricious Darklord]]" allows the user to Tribute Summon a Fairy monster at any time during the Main Phase as a Quick Effect. They facilitate an easier access to Tribute Summon "Darklord Morningstar", which has an on-Tribute Summon effect to potentially Special Summon a large horde of "Darklord" monsters from the Deck, then potentially mill several "Darklord" cards for LP recursion, for "Darklord" monsters to copy their effects or revive said monsters.
 
  
This deck, due to the large accumulation of DARK monsters, can also run DARK monster Deck support cards such as "[[Dark Illusion]]", "[[Allure of Darkness]]", "[[Armageddon Knight]]" or "[[Dark Grepher]]". Due to the Deck being able to regulate the number of "Darklord" monsters in the Graveyard (or rather, DARK/Fairy monsters in general), "[[Archlord Kristya]]" and "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" can also be used. "[[Angel O1]]" can help support the archetype's Tribute Summon playstyle or provide a free [[Link Material]] on the field for "Condemned Darklord". Additionally, "[[Trade-In]]" can be used due to a number of Level 8 monsters present in the deck. The addition of "[[Shadow's Light]]" and "[[Duality]]" can lead into a few useful choices to Summon; for Level 8 ("Superbia", "Zerato", "Nergal" and "Asmodeus") there are "Archlord Kristya" and "[[Invoked Augoeides]]", and for Level 4 ("Indulged" and "Capricious") there is "[[Herald of the Arc Light]]". Summoning "Archlord Kristya", by the mixture of the aformentioned cards in a typical "Darklord" deck, usually serves as the Deck's main "win condition". Even though the user is locked under "Kristya's'" effect, the user can simply negate its effect or destroy it with "The Sanctified Darklord" or "Darklord Uprising" respectively if they want to Special Summon freely, or just continually Tribute Summon their high-level Fairy monsters "for free" with "Condemned Darklord".
+
You can also perform the combo with "[[Monster Reborn]]". Special Summon "[[Darklord Superbia]]" and after summoning "[[Athena]]", then replay the above instructions. You may play "[[Phantom of Chaos]]" by removing from play "[[The Dark Creator]]" or "[[Athena]]", and use the removed card's effect, followed by the usage of "[[Miraculous Descent]]", "[[Escape from the Dark Dimension]]" or even "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]". Running the above cards may enable you to Special Summon a "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" that was sent to Graveyard previously.
 +
This OTK focuses on the [[Special Summon]]ing of (especially [[Dark]]) [[Fairy]]-[[Type]] Monsters.
  
While "Darklord" card effects make them suitable for supporting Fairy monsters in general, they can pair well with "[[Branded]]-[[Despia]]" since almost all Main Deck "Despia" monsters are DARK Fairy monsters, making them elligible Fusion Materials for "The First Darklord"; furthermore, "The First Darklord" can be more easily Fusion Summoned with the effects of various "Branded" Spells and Traps (ie. "[[Despia, Theater of the Branded]]", "[[Branded in Red]]" and "[[Branded Banishment]]") which are searchable with "[[Aluber the Jester of Despia]]" rather than relying on just "Darklord Uprising". In addition to searching out "Despia" monsters, "[[Branded Opening]]" can also help protect "The First Darklord" from being destroyed by a card effect, making it much harder for the opponent to remove on top of its 4000 ATK/DEF and its effect of providing protection from the opponent's targeting card effects. In return, the "Darklord" monsters are also elligible Fusion Materials for the "Despia" Fusion Monsters, their related support and the Fusion Monsters that mention "[[Fallen of Albaz]]" as material. Given that most of those Fusion Monsters are DARK, they can also be Fusion Summoned with "Darklord Uprising".  
+
Some cards used are:
 +
"[[Darklord Superbia]]", "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]", "[[Darklord Zerato]]", "[[Dark Creator]]", "[[Athena]]", "[[Hecatrice]]", "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]", and any card that Special Summons the above cards from the Graveyard or may emulate any of these cards, like "[[Phantom of Chaos]]".

===Darklord Twilight===

This Deck's main objective is the mill and special summon of "Darklord" monsters with the aid of "[[Lightsworn]]s". This deck uses "[[Athena]]", "[[Darklord Superbia]]", "[[Darklord Zerato]]" and "[[Lightsworn]]" cards to quickly gain field advantage over your opponent, and then destroy all of your opponent’s monsters using the effect of "[[Darklord Zerato]]" in order to deal mass amounts of [[Life Point]] Damage to your opponent. This deck also has an abundance of draw and search power to speed up the deck. Utilizing the high amount level 8 monsters this deck uses, you can use cards such as "[[Trade-In]]" and "[[Advance Draw]]" so you can severely thin down your deck. 
 +
 
 +
You can also incorporate "[[Dark counterpart]]s" in this Deck in order to either search out your "Darklords" or place them in the [[graveyard]] for swarming purposes. "Dark counterparts" often best suited for this deck are "[[Dark Grepher]]", "[[The Dark Creator]]", and "[[Dark Valkyria]]" and "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" simply to rid your opponent of cards that may slow down the pace or disable the swarming capability of this deck.
 +
 
 +
Note that there are benefits of using "[[Athena]]" or "[[The Dark Creator]]" in this deck, but it is advised that you use one or the other. When using "[[Athena]]", you can easily summon her using "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" or you could send her to the graveyard then special summoned with "Darklords", "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" and "[[Darklord Superbia]]". When using "[[The Dark Creator]]", you can send it to the graveyard for extra draw support by way of "[[Trade-In]]" or "[[Advance Draw]]"
 +
 
 +
Due to the high numbers of both [[LIGHT]] and [[DARK]] [[Monsters]] this deck uses, "[[Chaos Sorcerer]]" and "[[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]]" could be useful.
