Quickview :
Just lose 1000LP, your body can draw 1 spell/trap card instead of drawing normally. This effect is very important because Darklord's spells/traps are mostly limited so the draw rate is low, also because Darklord is quite dependent on spells. /give in hand and grave to set up control position as well as combo.
This skill is mainly used to search for Psychic Wheeleder to Synchro summon Level 6 monsters like Coral Dragon, Brionac,...
Destiny Draw allows you to draw any card in the deck when your life points decrease by 2000. This skill is also used quite a lot if you have no other skills. This skill also works quite well when you can actively reduce life points with Darklord Amdusc to draw the card you want to draw.
Banishment is Darklord's main search card that allows Darklord to be playable in the current meta. Banishment can add 1 monster card or trap magic as long as it has the word Darklord, except for this Banishment card itself. And you can only activate Banishment every turn.
Darklord Contact allows you to special summon 1 Darklord monster from the grave, this is an effect that helps you combo with good Xyz cards. And you can only activate Darklord Contact every turn.
Sanctified requires you to send 1 Darklord from your hand or field to the Graveyard to negate the effects of an EFFECT MONSTER on the field (not targeted), and if you do, you restore LP equal to the ATK of the suppressed monster . In the current monster and magic effect meta Sactified allows you to maintain control on the field, as well as restore your LP to continue causing difficulties for your opponents.
Nasten has a body of 2k6 ATK and DEF and is summoned very easily, just throw 2 Darklord cards from your hand. Because of this, Nasten is brought 3 to limit the deadhand's ability to throw another Darklord into the grave, which will help the combo. In addition, Nasten will spend 1000 LP (quick effect) to be able to choose 1 Darklord spell or trap in the grave, activate that card's effect, then put that card into the deck (activate Sanctified without sending). 1 Darklord from hand or field as it is a cost).
Amdusc has the ability to throw itself and another Darklord from the hand to the grave to get 1 Darklord card from the grave to the hand. This effect is -1, but Darklord's cost as well as the regeneration ability of this card is a plus.
The duo Superbia and Darklord Contact are very famous on Yugi H5. Superbia has a special ability, when it is special summoned from the grave, you can select 1 Fairy-type card in the grave and special summon that card to the field, except Superbia . Superbia often gives x1, or even not because the effect is too dull and only activates when specially summoned from the grave.
Tezcat is mainly given 1 for its protection ability. When one or more Darklord monsters are destroyed by battle or effects, you can throw this card from your hand to the grave to replace it. It also has a second effect like Amdusc but is rarely used because the main purpose of this card is to throw it into the grave to block bullets instead of other Darklords.
When Ukoback is Normal or Special Summoned, you can throw 1 Darklord card from your deck to the Graveyard, if you have Amdusc in your hand, combined with Ukoback or have a Darklord monster that can use magic/traps under rage when Ukoback throws magic/trap, Ukoback 's effect at this time will be no different from search, but Ukoback is not strong at first, only strong in the later stages, when you fully set-up.
Desire does not have the ability to special summon herself, nor can she be special summoned. Desire can be Tributed Summoned by sacrificing 1 Fairy-type monster. Once per turn you can target 1 opponent's monster, this card reduces this monster's ATK by EXACTLY 1000, and if you do, SEND that monster to the Graveyard.
Morningstar is the final boss of this group, however, because it is too difficult to summon at the present time, the meta is to play quickly, win quickly or play until OTK, then Morningstar shows weaknesses such as no special summons, lack of effects. finish, deadhand,... So Morningstar is no longer used anymore.
Ixchel has the ability to throw cards to the grave and a very strong draw 2 as well as a 2 effect like Nasten , but compared to limited 2 with Darklord Contact and Sanctified , Ixchel cannot be brought into the deck, instead the player brings a copy of The other 2 leaves.
Edeh Arae's effect is too harsh, plus it causes bricks, so it cannot be used in the deck
Although this card has a strong effect, it is not useful at present, since Darklord's level is too high compared to meta decks that use Level 4 monsters to Xyz, as well as this card will cause deadhand, so it cannot be used.
This Engine allows you to have less bricks than a pure Darklord, this Engine also allows you to shoot annoying spells, traps or monsters, even shoot them all if possible.
Ritual Beast Engine is more about thinning the deck, as well as being able to create a 2k6 ATK body monster that is immune to effects, as well as a 2k8 DEF monster that is not destroyed by effects. This engine helps increase the smoothness of the deck, helping you both thin the deck and have the boss of Ritual Beast when your Darklord hand is not good.
There was a time when Lightsworn was a very strong mercenary for Darklord. With the ability to mill lightsworn's graves and regenerate from Darklord's graves, this duo became extremely flawed. And because of the mistake, both of them were numbered to the point where they could no longer play together.
Valhalla allows you to reduce bricks when your hand is full of 5-star or higher Darklords. However, in the current meta, Darklord plays Draw Sense: Spell/Trap a lot and only brings 3 spells/traps: Banishment , Contact and Sanctified , so Valhalla also gradually disappears.
The same goal is to not give the opponent a chance to harass you, but Cosmic Cyclone and MST follow two separate playing styles.
They all have the same ability to lock the effects of monsters that can attack opponents during your turn so you can combo more easily, but BoM and Chalice are used depending on different situations such as:
M7 's ability is to spend 1 Xyz material to target 1 card on the field or graveyard and return that targeted card to the hand. With easy summoning conditions (2 Level 6 monsters). Along with the ability to regenerate resources from the grave (a strong point of Darklord) and the ability to return to the hand anti-destroy monsters or send your own monsters to counter trap cards like Fiendish Chain .
Number 20 here is a monster that is only used as a material for higher ranks. Because the summoning conditions only require 2 Level 3 monsters, Number 20 is brought by many people as a Staple for the F2P version of the Extra Deck.
The couple Bettle and Rhino are very famous in Duel Links thanks to their annoying effects for the opponent
With easy summoning conditions and a basic LP per player of 4000, Number 28 has become popular in Level 7 decks.
Number 47: Nightmare Shark has an extremely dirty ability, which is to spend 1 Xyz material to punch straight at your starting point with a 2k ATK body. Although the side effect is that your other monster cannot attack when it uses the effect, but if you cannot block it, another Number 47 will come onto the field and punch you again (if used to hit the original point, it usually brings 2 leaves ). Nightmare Shark has the ability to overcome all large-bodied enemy monsters and win (if not blocked).
Alucard is mainly included in the deck because it is easy to summon and has the ability to capture the opponent's face-down cards (both monsters and magic/traps). Alucard can be mixed with cards like Book Of Moon very well.
Dyson Sphere is difficult to call (because there are very few Level 9 monsters), but once on the field, Dyson Sphere becomes very strong in combat, especially its ability to hit the origin point very quickly.
Dracossack is very easy to summon, only requires 2 Level 7 monsters, with the ability to spend 1 Xyz material to create 2 bullets that also double as protective sandbags, Dracossack becomes difficult to destroy. Dracossack can sacrifice 1 projectile of its own or itself to destroy 1 card on the field. This effect helps Dracossack shoot both backrows and monsters, helping to clear the field very well.
If you only have one of the two cards Darklord Contact or Darklord Ukoback , you can use Banishment instead.
Use the Nasten effect to throw 2 cards in your hand to the grave ( Darklord Contact may be thrown to the grave because of this effect) to summon Nasten to the field.
Use Amdusc's effect to throw 1 Darklord card into the grave, adding Contact to your hand.
