Darklord Deck Explained - Archetype History & In Depth Analysis : In this video i will giving a indepth analysis about the future support for the Darklord archetype.\r
\r
Darklord, known as Fallen Angel (堕だ天てん使し Datenshi) in the Japanese version, are an archetype comprised primarily of DARK Fairy-Type monsters used by Midori Hibiki in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga. Many of their effects are focused on sending Darklord monsters to the Graveyard and then Special Summoning them. Much of this archetype have been released as V Jump promotional cards.\r
\r
Nurse Reficule the Fallen One and Marie the Fallen One are also Darklord cards because they have 「堕だ天てん使し」 in their Japanese names.\r
\r
Though members have existed since 2008, this archetype had no support until the release of Destiny Soldiers, in 2016.\r

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.\r
\r
Whilst reviving from the grave is a major theme of this archetype, a swarm play style is unsuitable, due to many of the archetypes members being limited by the You can only Special Summon Darklord ___(s) once per turn. This also makes it difficult to Xyz (except for level 8) with this archetype.This, however, can be mitigated by the use of soul charge, allowing for Xyz plays with high level monsters.\r
\r
however, disruption is readily available to the archetype due to the effect During either players turn: You can pay 1000 LP, then target 1 Darklord Spell/Trap Card in your Graveyard; this effect becomes that targets effect when that card is ivated, then shuffle that target into the Deck. being common in many of the archetypes cards. This works in conjunction with the archetypes two traps, (Darklords Temptation and Darklords Falling from Grace) to disrupt opponent plays, allowing time to setup for an Athena - Darklord Asmodueus loop or similar win conditions.\r
\r
This Deck can have many ways of discarding cards to the Graveyard. You can use monster effects such as Armageddon Knights or Dark Grephers 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.\r
