Deck review: Dark World Promo build and Non-Promo build
Right as promised. Today's post will be about the 2 different builds to try to suit the OCG meta in Singapore! If some of you people are asking "Why the Non-Promo build". Well its mainly because in Singapore. During the times of grand tournaments that are being hosted here. Its a strict rule that there will be no "Promo" cards existing in our decks. So alright, enough talk, lets get on with it!
Deck name: Dark World Promo
Monsters: 19
3x Fabled Raven
1x Sangan
1x Morphing Jar
1x Blackwing - Zephyrus The Elite
1x Scarr - Scout of Dark World
2x Broww - Huntsman of Dark World
3x Snow - Unlight of Dark World
1x Beiige - Vanguard of Dark World
3x Silva, Warlord of Dark World
3x Grapha - Dragon Lord of Dark World
Magic: 15
1x Allure of Darkness
1x Into the Void
2x Dark World Dealings
2x The Gates of Dark World
1x Card Destruction
3x Dark World Lightning
1x Dark Hole
1x Heavy Storm
1x Monster Reborn
2x Mystical Space Typhoon
Traps: 6
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Trap Dustshoot
2x Mind Crush
1x Deck Devastation Virus
1x Eradicator Epidemic Virus
Deck Name: Dark World Non-Promo
Monsters: 17
1x Sangan
1x Morphing Jar
1x Blackwing - Zephyrus The Elite
1x Scarr - Scout of Dark World
2x Broww - Huntsman of Dark World
3x Snow - Unlight of Dark World
1x Beiige - Vanguard of Dark World
3x Silva - Warlord of Dark World
1x Goldd - Wu-lord of Dark World **
3x Grapha - Dragon Lord of Dark World
Magic: 17
1x Allure of Darkness
2x Into The Void **
2x Dark World Dealings
3x The Gates of Dark World **
1x Card Destruction
3x Dark World Lightning
1x Foolish Burial **
1x Heavy Storm
1x Monster Reborn
2x Mystical Space Typhoon
Traps: 6
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Trap Dustshoot
2x Mind Crush
1x Deck Devastation Virus
1x Eradicator Epidemic Virus
Legend - ** is the difference between the both decks.
As for the extra decks for both decks. Practically anything you might wanna have inside it. The extra decks are quite generalized so I'll just leave it to you readers' imagination on what cards would you want to have in the extra deck instead.
The promo build is quite simple. Just try to summon out [Fabled Raven] as soon as possible to be able to utilise it's effect to discard multiple cards from your hand. I noticed that not many duelists run [Into The Void] in their Dark World decks. In my opinion, even though it has a high risk of discarding your whole hand during the end phase. There are still pros and cons for this disadvantage.
1. You are running a Dark World deck, this disadvantage can prove to be an advantage as discarding your whole hand is not a cost, its an effect.
2. Being able to draw one card from your deck means being able to improve your duel by 1 turn. Not much, but it might be able to help you carry on your combos.
"Absence of [Dark Hole] in the Non-Promo build. Why?"
Reason is simple, the promo build has Fabled Raven, which can actually be equalled to having 3 more Into The Voids. Which can prove for you to have a very small hand size at the end of the day. The Promo build has Dark hole in order for you to clear all of the opponent's monsters on the field even with little hand cards. The Non-Promo build doesn't have it as most of the time you are able to maintain the hand size. Though sure, you can still experiment on taking out 1 copy of [Into The Void] of the Non-Promo build to try to slot in 1 copy of [Dark Hole]. Instead in the absence of [Dark Hole] in the Non-Promo build, I've placed a copy of [Foolish Burial] for easy access to [Grapha - Dragon Lord of Dark World] and [Blackwing - Zephyrus The Elite].
Well, I'd be trying to form up more variations of Dark World theme decks with more options available. In the meanwhile, perhaps you people might wanna try these 2 decks out in Dueling Network or something. For me, I'd probably use the Promo Build in any of the casual tournaments that my country will be hosting. Soon, I Hope! Well then, till my next post! Happy Dueling! =)

Busy!!!!! With? The training for Singapore Asia Plus Team Tournament!
Well heya people. Its been a month since the last update. Well the bloggers of Duel Society, pratically speaking both Kenneth and me(Colin) have been training hard for the latest tournament that is coming up here in Singapore. Which is the Asia Plus Team Tournament consisting of 3 members in each team versus 3 members of an opposing team. Look at our training ground below! Well lets get on with the description for the upcoming tournament.
Each member will be fighting their own opponents at the same time with the usual best 2 out of 3 rounds in a match. So if lets say 2 of the winning team members won their best 2 out of 3 rounds, that team wins.
This may sound easy, but there is also a catch to it! The whole team will be sharing the banlist as well as the usual restrictions for the number of copies per card in the whole team. A few examples will be....
The following below are also the dates for the upcoming qualifiers for the Asia Plus Team Tournament.
Qualifiers Rounds Details
Date Venue Registration Time
Main Event Details
Well then, its been a long day so I guess I will be heading to bed. I'll still have to head over to Kenneth's place for a hell training regime! In the meantime, I'd probably think of when I'm gonna post up my [Dark World] deck with 2 kinds for format. The "Promo" format, and the "Non-Promo" format. All right thats all for today people! Signing off today, start training even harder if you are participating for the grand tournament because there is only 5 days left before the day of the first qualifier round itself!
May the Strongest Team Win!
This may sound easy, but there is also a catch to it! The whole team will be sharing the banlist as well as the usual restrictions for the number of copies per card in the whole team. A few examples will be....
- [Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning] is a restricted to one card. So only ONE copy is allowed in the WHOLE TEAM. So with 3 decks around, only ONE copy of this powerful card is allowed in ONE deck.
- [Tragoedia] is a semi-restricted card. So its the same as the above theory, just that is a TWO instead of a one now. It also means that the card can be distributed around. Like example....
- I have one copy of [Tragoedia] in my deck.
- Kenneth also has one copy of [Tragoedia] in his deck.
And that is all for semi-restricted. - [Mystical Space Typhoon] also known as [Cyclone] is a unrestricted card. Which means you are able to play it at 3 copies! However, it follows the ruling of only 3 copies in the whole team. So same as the above theory for semi-restricted cards. You are also allowed to distribute it to the whole team if you want to.
The following below are also the dates for the upcoming qualifiers for the Asia Plus Team Tournament.
Qualifiers Rounds Details
Date Venue Registration Time
- October 15 (Saturday)/Audio Ventura Trading/1300 hrs - 1330 hrs
- October 23 (Sunday)/Audio Ventura Trading/1300 hrs - 1330 hrs
