Dark World Swarming in OCG!

Hey, guys! Today I would like to share a recipe of Dark World as someone has requested it. Before we moving to the recipe, I will share the exact ruling of some cards so that you guys can understand why some cards can trigger the effect of Dark World monster and why some cannot. As you guys understand, Dark World is a archtype which can only activate its effect when they are discard from hand to the graveyard due to card effect.

One of the important rulings of Dark World monster is all Dark World monster effects are activated in the graveyard thus any cards which negated the effect that activated on the field will not applied on them. In this case, Effect Veiler, Destiny Hero - Plasma and Skill Drain will have no effect on all Dark World monster. Thus I hope you guys will never cheated by some duelists that Dark World monster effects can be negated by using those cards that I have mentioned in this paragraph.

Second important of Dark World monster is they must be discarded by the card effect and must be send to graveyard so that their effect can be activated. If they are not send to the graveyard but is banish(remove from play) then they cannot activate their effect. Apart from that, some of the Dark World monsters such as Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World; Sillva, Warlord of Dark World; Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World; Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World and Celri, Monk of Dark World will not activate their additional effect if they are no longer in the graveyard when the chain is resolved.

Okay, here is my Dark World recipe:

Monster(19)
Broww, Huntsman of Dark World x3
Brron, Mad King of Dark World x2
Celri, Monk of Dark World x2
Dark Armed Dragon x1
Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World x2
Grapha, Dragon God of Dark World x2
Morphing Jar x1
Plaguespreader Zombie x1
Sillva, Warlord of Dark World x2
Snow, Magician of Dark World x3


Magic(13)
Book of Moon x1
Card Destruction x1
Dark Hole x1
Dark World Dealings x3
Dark World Lightning x2
Foolish Burial x1
Gateway to Dark World x1
Giant Trunade x1
Monster Reborn x1
Mystical Space Typhoon x2

Trap(8)
Bottomless Trap Hole x2

Mind Crush x1
Mirror Force x1
Solemn Judgment x1
Solemn Warning x2

Torrential Tribute x1

Extra deck:
Ally of Justice Catastor x1
Brionac, Ice Barrier Dragon x1
Black Rose Dragon x1
Number 39: Utopia x2
Scrap Dragon x1
Stardust Dragon x1
Tiras, Keeper of Genesis x2

As a reminder, most of the Dark World monster effect can be negated by Solemn Warning or Royal Oppression. In this case, Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World; Celri, Monk of Dark World; Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World; Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World; Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World and Sillva, Warlord of Dark World can be negated by these two cards when they activate their special summon effect. For Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World, its first effect that consists of card destruction can be negated if it is discarded by opponent card effect.

Thus to avoid Dark World monster effect from negated by opponent's card, you can arrange your own chain. This can only be done through several cards such as Card Destruction, Fabled Raven, Fine, Graceful Charity, Infernity Inferno, Morphing Jar, Royal Tribute, Strategy of the Dark and The Cheerful Coffin. As a result, you might face some trouble when you want to make such a kind of chain. By arranging your chain, your Dark World monster effect will not be negated by Solemn Warning or Royal Oppression. Due to all Dark World monster is mandatory effect, thus you will not face any trouble of miss timing for activating Dark World monster effect.

To further the understanding of chain, let me give some example. Example 1: You have Card Destruction, Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World; Broww, Huntsman of Dark World and Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World in your hand and your opponent have a Stardust Dragon and a face-up Royal Oppression on the their field. You activate Card Destruction then you can arrange your Dark World monster effect according to the following order:
1st Arrangement: Chain 1 Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World; Chain 2 Broww, Huntsman of Dark World; Chain 3 Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World
2nd Arrangement: Chain 1 Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World; Chain 2 Broww, Huntsman of Dark World; Chain 3 Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World
3rd Arrangement: Chain 1 Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World; Chain 2 Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World; Chain 3 Broww, Huntsman of Dark World

For the 1st arrangement of chain, your opponent can negated the special summon of Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World by Royal Oppression and they cannot negated the other effect activation but you still lost one card. For the 2nd arrangement of chain, your opponent can negated the card destruction effect of Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World by releasing Stardust Dragon and they cannot negated the other effect activation but you still lost one card. For the 3rd arrangement of chain, your opponent cannot negated any of the Dark World monster effect and you are having advantage over your opponent.

Example 2: You have a set Morphing Jar on the field and you have Celri, Monk of Dark World; Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World; Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World and Snow, Magician of Dark World in your hand whereas your opponent have a Archlord Kristya and a Shooting Star Dragon. It is your turn and you flip summon your Morphing Jar. Through the effect of Morphing Jar, you can arrange your Dark World monster effect according to the following:

1st Arrangement: Chain 1 Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World; Chain 2 Celri, Monk of Dark World; Chain 3 Snow, Magician of Dark World; Chain 4 Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World
2nd Arrangement: Chain 1 Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World; Chain 2 Celri, Monk of Dark World; Chain 3 Snow, Magician of Dark World; Chain 4 Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World
3rd Arrangement: Chain 1 Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World; Chain 2 Celri, Monk of Dark World; Chain 3 Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World; Chain 4 Snow, Magician of Dark World
4th Arrangement: Chain 1 Celri, Monk of Dark World; Chain 2 Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World; Chain 3 Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World; Chain 4 Snow, Magician of Dark World

For the 1st arrangement of chain, you cannot special summon Celri, Monk of Dark World and Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World and you can only add another Dark World card to your hand using Snow, Magician of Dark World's effect plus destroying 1 card on your opponent field. However, you lost 2 cards. For the 2nd arrangement of chain, your opponent can negated the card destruction effect of Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World by using Shooting Star Dragon effect, you cannot special summon Celri, Monk of Dark World and Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World but you still can add one Dark World card from your deck to your hand. In this case, you have lost 3 cards effect.

For the 3rd and 4th arrangement of chain, your opponent cannot negated any of the Dark World monster effect and you are able to special summon all your Dark World monsters. Apart from that, you can special summon a Sillva, Warlord of Dark World after adding it by using your Snow, Magician of Dark World's effect and discarding this card from your hand by the effect of Celri, Monk of Dark World. After this, you still can Xyz summon Tiras, Keeper of Genesis and use it to against Shooting Star Dragon.


Okay, that's all for today! Thanks for your precious time and wish you guys have a nice day! Please stay tuned for my next post.

Where's the Dark World Gate? Personally, I find Celri a bad match to Dark World monsters. Konami might as well give us Dark World Corridor, it would be more effective then.
