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
- October 29 (Saturday)/Active Games Collection/1300 hrs - 1330 hrs
- November 6 (Sunday)/Excel CS @ J-Cube/1300 hrs - 1330 hrs

- November 13 (Sunday)/Cheng San CC/1000 hrs - 1100 hrs

Thoughts about the banlist for September 2011
Hi guys, have you guys known about the news for the upcoming banlist due to be in effect on the 1st of September 2011? Well if you didn't know, below will be the list for the changes of the banlist to be taken effect on the 1st of september, as well as my own few cents of my thoughts for this upcoming list.
Listed are only the CHANGES
Banned:
Fishborg Blaster
- Removing this card will slow down Monarch and water based decks. Making them harder to function as a whole. Or actually, destroying the whole frog deck that uses this mainly to synchro out [Formula Synchron]. However restricting it to 1 is a little harsh. There are still quite alot of cards that can actually stop the cycle. But perhaps Konami has some hidden hatred for it? o.O
Mind Master
- Having this card at 1 is still not enough! Although this card can be stopped by [Effect Veiler] or when you are trying to revive it from the graveyard it will be stopped by [D.D Crow]. It is still able to be revive from the Removed From Game Zone. Which makes the cycle able to be repeated multiple times. As much as we can see the build of the one turn kill version from Dueling Days as well as the Lockdown version from Duelist Codex.
Giant Trunade
- Perhaps a routine change with Heavy Storm? Now left with only [Blackwing - Zephyrus of the Elite] to help recycle the usage of your [Limit Reverse] and [Call of the Haunted]. Not to mention that its even harder now to get rid of [Malefic Stardust Dragon]
Royal Oppression
- Yes! More special summon abuse! However this makes every duel ends even faster now. With the release of [Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]. Junk Doppel, Lightlords anyone?
Restricted to 1
Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning
- My awesome secret wish has finally come true! 7 years of waiting for this card to unban, always thinking that it will be impossible because of cards like [Honest] waiting to partner with it to try to gain a One Turn Kill move. But finally it has been released. However he isn't as strong as he was 7 years ago. Now with the removal of the Priority Ruling. He may just jump into a hole and die horribly to [Bottomless Traphole] without even removing a monster first. But we'll see how it goes then. 3000 atk? Not to mention a almost free Special Summon. Probably will make a big change to the current meta. This also motivated me to make a new banner for this blog to commemerate his return! =D
Debris Dragon
- No more super abuse of the Dragon Type synchro monsters with this level 4 revival effect tuner monster. With it at one makes you sometimes only able to choose to easily synchro 1 dragon type synchro monster at a time. Making the Debris Dandy deck not as stable as it was before.
Lonefire Blossom
- As what Bahamut84 of duelingdays said. This flower is really lone now. You'd probably wun be able to do a first turn [Shooting Star Dragon] summon or [Trishula - Dragon of the Ice Barrier] summon with just 1 [Lonefire Blossom]. However you are still able to do it if you have other plant type monsters in your grave.
Legendary Six Samurai Shi En
- Yes, the Legendary Six Samurai deck has just gotten a major nerf! Probably will not see it top the meta that much now. Or will it still prevail?
Tech Genus Hyper Librarian & Formula Synchron
- Restriction the both of them to 1 surely will make the decks powered by these 2 cards to go slower. And having to think further on when will be the best time to make use of [Formula Synchron]. Not to mention slowing down the summoning of [Shooting Quasar Dragon]. But still its manageable. This allows our extra deck to have more space for other Synchros/Exceed/Fusion to use.
Heavy Storm
- No more setting of 5 cards and ending of turn without having a backup such as [Starlight Road] for protection! Get your [Starlight Road]s now!
Primal Seed
- yes it is wtf? But I heard taking back [Honest] with a friend into your hand is good for health and for winning =D. But still, when will there be a chance for you to actually use it when [Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning] is only at 1 copy?
Shien's Smoke Signal
- More nerf to the Legendary Six Samurais!
Pot of Avarice
- Probably would die to a [D.D Crow] or [Transmigration Prophecy]. May I suggest using [Monster Reincarnation] in your decks now since [Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning] is back and [Pot of Avarice] is restricted to 1?
Restricted to 2
Summoner Monk
- More Exceed monster love~
Tradgoedia
- More defenses for the win! Not to mention it is able to change its level at will. Makes Exceed/XYZ summoning alot easier to achieve!
Necro Gardna
- with the above card [Tradgoedia], prevents yourself from being destroyed by [Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning] as said by Bahamut84 of duelingdays. Still with this card at 2 copies. More Graveyard Blackfeathers people? It would probably be a favourite [Dark Grepher] or [Armageddon Knight] target.
Dewloren - Tiger King of the Ice Barrier
- No more infinite amounts of summoning [Trishula - Dragon of the Ice Boundary] anymore~
Destiny Draw
- Some fun playing of [Destiny Hero] decks now anyone?
Swords of Revealing Light
- Um.... I heard [Heavy Storm] and [Mystical Space Typhoon] is an awesome card
Mind Crush
- You can now have more chances of random calling card names for the benefits of your [Dark World] monsters! Not to mention playing this with [Trap Dustshoot] is awesome too!
Call of the Haunted
- Take out your [Limit Reverse]!
No longer Restricted/Released from Banlist
Judgment Dragon
- O M G. Lightlords are probably going to top the meta with this. As there is no longer [Royal Oppression].
Spirit Reaper
- Not as powerful as it used to be. Konami is probably encouraging more direct attacks to your opponent using this card. Making them drop a random [Dark World] monster is delicious.
Overload Fusion
- Lets go [Future Fusion] + [Overload Fusion]!
Mystical Space Typhoon
- I'm still lacking of 1 OCG gold series copy...... With this card at 3, making control decks seem harder to play now. So many m/t removals!
Megamorph
- o.O [Arms Hole] anybody?
Gravity Bind
- Doesn't stop Exceeds/XYZ. But with that many mass destruction cards around. Probably wouldn't survive. Or maybe could be used as a bait to protect your other more "important" m/t cards
Icarus Attack
- Usually the Black Wing decks around would only put 2 copies. Being at 3 would promote more usage of [Starlight Road] or would probably be destroyed by [Mystical Space Typhoon] before you even will have 2 cards on the field for targets.
Well then, this will be the end of my post for today! I will be updating the next post with my version of the [Dark World] deck. Stay Tuned! =)
Listed are only the CHANGES
Banned:
Fishborg Blaster
- Removing this card will slow down Monarch and water based decks. Making them harder to function as a whole. Or actually, destroying the whole frog deck that uses this mainly to synchro out [Formula Synchron]. However restricting it to 1 is a little harsh. There are still quite alot of cards that can actually stop the cycle. But perhaps Konami has some hidden hatred for it? o.O
Mind Master
- Having this card at 1 is still not enough! Although this card can be stopped by [Effect Veiler] or when you are trying to revive it from the graveyard it will be stopped by [D.D Crow]. It is still able to be revive from the Removed From Game Zone. Which makes the cycle able to be repeated multiple times. As much as we can see the build of the one turn kill version from Dueling Days as well as the Lockdown version from Duelist Codex.
Giant Trunade
- Perhaps a routine change with Heavy Storm? Now left with only [Blackwing - Zephyrus of the Elite] to help recycle the usage of your [Limit Reverse] and [Call of the Haunted]. Not to mention that its even harder now to get rid of [Malefic Stardust Dragon]
Royal Oppression
- Yes! More special summon abuse! However this makes every duel ends even faster now. With the release of [Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]. Junk Doppel, Lightlords anyone?
Restricted to 1
Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning
- My awesome secret wish has finally come true! 7 years of waiting for this card to unban, always thinking that it will be impossible because of cards like [Honest] waiting to partner with it to try to gain a One Turn Kill move. But finally it has been released. However he isn't as strong as he was 7 years ago. Now with the removal of the Priority Ruling. He may just jump into a hole and die horribly to [Bottomless Traphole] without even removing a monster first. But we'll see how it goes then. 3000 atk? Not to mention a almost free Special Summon. Probably will make a big change to the current meta. This also motivated me to make a new banner for this blog to commemerate his return! =D
Debris Dragon
- No more super abuse of the Dragon Type synchro monsters with this level 4 revival effect tuner monster. With it at one makes you sometimes only able to choose to easily synchro 1 dragon type synchro monster at a time. Making the Debris Dandy deck not as stable as it was before.
Lonefire Blossom
- As what Bahamut84 of duelingdays said. This flower is really lone now. You'd probably wun be able to do a first turn [Shooting Star Dragon] summon or [Trishula - Dragon of the Ice Barrier] summon with just 1 [Lonefire Blossom]. However you are still able to do it if you have other plant type monsters in your grave.
Legendary Six Samurai Shi En
- Yes, the Legendary Six Samurai deck has just gotten a major nerf! Probably will not see it top the meta that much now. Or will it still prevail?
Tech Genus Hyper Librarian & Formula Synchron
- Restriction the both of them to 1 surely will make the decks powered by these 2 cards to go slower. And having to think further on when will be the best time to make use of [Formula Synchron]. Not to mention slowing down the summoning of [Shooting Quasar Dragon]. But still its manageable. This allows our extra deck to have more space for other Synchros/Exceed/Fusion to use.
