I have been made aware that, at 7:20 , the play sequence I describe can't take place, because Superbia can miss timing, and the last thing to happen with a yarded Contact is being shuffled into the deck. Please keep this in mind, and many apologies for the misinformation.
Luckily he doesnt miss timing when summoned by The First Darklord. But yeah why Konami didnt say If and not When I'll never understand.
@@infiniteshay8660 because it’s from GX
@@jk844100 All When effects should be PSATed into If.
@@infiniteshay8660 no because there’s lots of cards that become ridiculous if they didn’t miss timing.
Imagine if Yang Zing didn’t miss timing with 9 Pillars, yeah no thanks.
@@jk844100 Yang Zing deserves better.
I wish we had an entire structure deck for the Darklords.
Same. It’s my favorite Archetype because playing from the Graveyard is something that really appeals to me. Especially when paired with Athena due to her being able to easily summon and swap around monsters in the grave since Darklords are fairies.
When he said Tezcatlipoca's name correctly I almost creamed my pants...
Yup, this has made my day xD
Damn, Lucifer seems to came directly from Deviantart lmao
It is a nice card, but Darklords deserves better support
Yeah...Lucifer is an incredible finisher, but...it needs a good starter card, something much more impactful than Pleasure.
I really like how you explain the arch type and what they do
Thank you! I'm glad it can act as a kind of quick guide to see how it all fits together.
I main Darklords and they are by far the most fun deck I've ever used. One thing I found surprising when I first started using it is that it's actually pretty easy to get Darklord Morningstar and his fusion on the field even without Super Polymerization since it's fusion trap can be used from the grave with nearly any Darklord, usually Nasten since he's so easy to summon.
Despia theatre makes for a great field spell for the archetype.
In rise of the duelist I also add
Ret-time reviver Emit-ter, she's a dark fairy tuner who you can special summon her (from hand or graveyard) just by sending one monster on your field and your opponent face down
Yeah, but it's a bit awkward to play tuners if one isn't playing synchros
As an SMT fanboy this deck resonates with me like no other
Another thing to note now:
Darklord of Delight is actually Capricious Darklord and Darklord of Pleasure is Indulged Darklord.
yeah darklords are pretty cool! but i still think there missing a little bit of cards to help them be a good deck...
Their weakness is too broad.
MasterReddGaming what do you mean?
@@brandondowdy4220 Meaning there is too many simple ways to stop them and they are not very good at recovering from being stopped. A well-timed Ash, CFTG, Solemn, DRNM, Raigeki, Dark Hole, etc can end the game quick for them.
@@VampirusX1 ok thanks
@SupremeEgyptianGodsman oh ok
Their art and lore is so cool
What they need is deeper playstyle fleshing out. Either add more fusions add synchros or links or add xyz. Hell add all of em. But they defintely need more support in the ED. The First Darklord is the perfect boss monster. Just needs something else to abuse with it.
Good video dude
You know what, you are completely right! I focused so hard on the printed effect of Delight that I totally missed it's more technical aspect. Thanks for letting me know!
@@GoldenNovaYugioh allways my dude :D, i am a great fan of the deck ever since its release. And i dont blame you, thats something that almost nobody saw at first, but is mad fun to pull out. everything else on the video (except the superbia miss timing xD) is very useful for someone starting with the deck, and yes... EVERYTHING ABOUT LUCIFER ROCKS AND IS A SNACK! XD
Just an ABSOLUTE SLICE of Devil's Food Cake, I'm tellin' ya!
i dont get it at all.
Although I was very much against it in the past, with the new support I mor and more think about that Athena 1 of.
Discard with "condemned" into "contact" > Superbia > Athena.
Sack Superbia to Athena, to summon Superbia again for any other darklord and 1200 dmg in the process.
Not a bad idea! And I do love me some Athena damage!
@@GoldenNovaYugioh Also with Athena you can overlay with Nasten for rank 7 plays. Dracosac, big eye etc.
I just love the moment I steal my opponents dragoon and use it against them.
Usually dragoon will negate the entchantment and then BOOM big eye, your dragoon is now mine anyway, permanently.
So I’d like to point out that Asmodeus (one of the GX era cards and original boss monster of the deck) can be a pretty okay choice for the deck. As it’s a 3K beat stick that can summon two fairly resilient tokens on its destruction that can be used as fodder for summoning Condemned or Morningstar. It also has the ability to act as a foolish burial each turn for one of your fairy monsters.
Desire is also an ok tech card since it can be used as another level 10 but also has a useful send effect that can be used 3 times before you xyz it away
Asmodeus is also pretty good if you splash other fairies like Athena or Kristya, since he can search for any fairy, not just Darklords. So you can send Kristya to GY, then pull her out with Superbia.
Or Superbia->Athena->Another Beatstick, Athena's summon is not DEF like Contact, you get OTK team just from that.
Love the video, as always! But there's one small mistake you made when talking about Contact. When you use contact through a darklord monster effect, because of how superbia is worded, the when instead of if, you cant use his effect when summoned off of a copied contact effect.
Huh? (reviews card text) Ooooooh...because the shuffling is the last thing that happens. Oh wow, I completely missed that interaction. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
6:35 That's what Delight is for
The only major piece I see missing from the video is no mention of Trade-In, or arguably more importantly Reasoning.
The former might be locked to Level 8, but that happens to be a level that's shared across multiple Darklords and non-DL support cards. And in the worst case where it's dead, you can always just pitch it with Condemned to get something useful. And in the best case, you're actively setting up plays by dumping Superbia, and then going off from there. It's my preferred draw card, since it's not symmetrical like Dark World Dealings and doesn't banish my resources like Allure or Desires.
As for Reasoning, it actually uses the varied Darklord levels to your advantage. Objectively, the correct call is 4, since that smacks the ROTD Darklords (and Witch if you're playing it). But that means anything except Morningstar hits the field if you see them first, on top of potentially milling backrow in the meantime. And if you hit a modern Darklord with it, then those milled S/T are free effect ammunition. Also, if they decide to call 8 (because its the only shared high-level), you still kinda win if the one you hit is Superbia, since he only does stuff from the GY. The worst cases for resolving Reasoning are A) Hitting the guessed level and the monster isn't Superbia, AND you don't have revival set-up (Delight also has some edge-case upside because her eff is just when she hits the 'yard), B) Hitting Superbia, since on field he's just kinda there (though still a lv 8 for XYZ, still material for Condemned or Lucifer, and still has 2900 atk), or C) Hitting your 1-of Morningstar, because now you need to Amdusc him.
Otherwise, a fantastic video. Subscribed :D
Yeah, Reasoning totally went over my head, that's such a good card for the theme! Thank you for sharing, and for subscribing!
Do you think it would be cool to see a light version of Darklords like before there fall
Oh, absolutely! We at least have some kind of confirmation about this with Nasten, so I'd love to see more!
Darklord support: change "when" in "if" on Darklord Superbia pls
Yeah, gotta love that GX era PSCT xD
Ye, but what I'm wondering about is . . . why didnt Konami just wrote the new darklords in such way, that this wouldnt even be a problem ?
Like, shuffle the card from grave FIRST into the deck THEN apply effect ?
Simple. They, for some reason, didnt want it that way.
Hopefully we will get some darklords in the future that care about beeing discarded.
I wish I had a good answer, but I have no earthly idea. Because no matter what the reason, a Superbia being revived by one of your monsters being a non-bo is so disorienting!
@@GoldenNovaYugioh it is becuase the effect of the still lingers, which i find wierd
This must've been made before the new support...still a good video.
Btw, you can use Tez for All Calamities...
Edit: I stand corrected. You covered it. Btw, if you summon Pleasure and get Morningstar to the hand, SS Nasten and get Rebellious Darklord in the Grave, you can get Luci on the field and nuke the opp cuz Rebellious works like a quickplay poly...as it uses mats from hand and/or field...and if there are any monsters that cant be destroyed, they will be nerfed by Delight.
Darklords in OCG/TCG: Pretty cool archetype with decent effects but not strong enough for meta.
Darklords in Duel Links: Absolute powerhouse that threatened the meta multiple times even with their main cards heavily limited.
I love your narration, hence, new subscriber.
Thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed!
you skipped the Darklord that sacrifices atk for destruction. its sad you cant special summon it, but it can really be useful- in duel links, for whatever its worth
Desire was a GX Era Darklord and he said he wasn’t going to include all of the Darklords from that era in the video.
There’s also the original Darklord Boss Monster in “Darklord Asmodeus” who can summon some pretty decent tokens that can be used as summon fodder for Condemned or Morningstar and is a decent beat stick with 3000 ATK. Only shame with him is that he can’t be summing from the deck or grave but if you have Valhalla then you can drop him from the hand.
This is my absolute favorite Archetype ever! I love them and are always so much fun to play. Even if the older darklord monsters don't really work well with the Archetype with their ability to not be special summoned.
One thing you fogot to mention is that pleasure can set up darklords desent so that's worth considering
Fair enough! I'm only now realizing you could add Nasten, pitch a descent along with a matching level, then use Nasten to copy the descent, so I'll have to rethink my stance on them. Thank you for pointing that out!
It's been a couple years, here's how I'm feeling:
Turn 1 Kristya is your best going first play, and honestly isn't too hard between tribute summon, his own summon condition, and reviving of Superbia. You still have good access to strong monsters compared to a lot of decks (normal summons, or Nasten summon), and even just a copier with the negate trap plus Kristya is a very hard board to break if you don't draw a dedicated board wipe like Lightning Storm or Evenly Matched.
It's even better in games 2 or 3 since Indulged+Rivalry of Warlords is a summoning lock if they don't use Fairies. Give them Amdusc so they can't crash it into Indulged, and summon everything in defense until you're ready to swing game.
Going second is trickier, but Darklords can afford to Main Deck Artifact Lancea in this format. If you clear the way for a Morningstar tribute, Zerato is a fantastic summon to clear their field for the OTK, with Nergal as the second to copy Morningstar mills and Xyz with Zerato if you don't finish the job somehow.
I feel like the fusion would be better if it banished everything
Yeah, can't disagree with you on that point. ESPECIALLY with all the hoops you gotta jump through.
@@GoldenNovaYugioh yea. They even made the fusion card a trap and pretty bad.
They need a normal summon which sends darklord spell and traps to the graveyard for a benefit.
They need effects that trigger when discarded by a darklord card.
They need angelic versions of thenselves. Maybe in the ED for plays (more fusions or synchros xyz).
They needed a special summon or better normal to open the plays
I really liked the monologue in the intro lol
I'm glad! I thought it was pretty fun, and the Condemned Lady deserved a badass introduction!
@@GoldenNovaYugioh agreed she’s one of my favorite parts of Yu-Gi-Oh! Lore. Legit ass have have every card of her or with her in the art. Feel kind of bad for the solemn guy tho lol
Dude all of your videos are great. You are becoming my favorite yugituber
Thank you so much! Comments like these really make my day, I hope I can keep making videos that you'll enjoy!
One of my favorite archetypes in terms of design, gameplay, and the fact that with most hands I can build an addition to my house.
Darklord Construction Firm: The Only Thing That's Fallen Are Our Prices!
@@GoldenNovaYugioh Legit tho the bricking can be maddening at times. How can an archetype with three draw engines with Ixchel, Trade In, and Allure still brick so much?
@@infiniteshay8660 Because they're too restrictive.
It doesn't make sense to have a bunch of monsters on hand that you can't summon or use their effects a 2nd time.
Despia theatre makes for a great field spell for the archetype
Completely off topic:
How do you feel about custom cards, have you ever payed with some or looked at some, or even made some? I personally have 31 DB Pages of cards so i would call myself a pretty active custom card creator. I would just like to know your standpoint on that.
If you’re not running Reasoning you’re asleep.
Yoo your videos are amazing! Love from Brazil
I'm so glad to hear that! Comments like this always put a smile on my face. Much love back to you from the states!
I subbed! Thanks for this video! very informative keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed, and I hope my future work continues to entertain!
Had a funny comeback with condemned witch into delight to summon morningstar on my opponents turn.
No honorable mention for how Forbidden Droplet fits into the lore?
Lucifer is just called The First Darklord in the tcg :)
Hey gang, little late on this one, but I recently got off trying Starry Knights and I'm a little disappointed (albeit I adore the concept and playstore of Starry Knights), but now I'm thinking of trying out Darklords.
They seem fun to play, but are they still viable today? I only play low tier/casual battles on master duel really, so I'm not looking for them to be meta-defining
I see the deck is running mainly light and dark. I wonder if someone's gonna be mad enough to build a chaos-deck around this.
Maan, this was a nice video!! hehe :D pretty nice research and humor! :D
Thanks for the guide. You did a great job :)))
not when the lightsworms have something to say about it lucifer
Yeah I’m leaning on there needing to be a Structure deck
Please I have a truly important question :
If I use a darklord, Nasten for exemple, and I use his quick effect to activate Darklord Uprising from the graveyard, can I use Nasten as fusion material or not ?
Thank you !
Yes, Uprising can use Fusion Material from your hand or field, sp you can use Nasten as material!
Notably, with how the Darklord quick effects work, the card's usual cost is essentially replaced by paying the 1000 LP, so you don't have to send a monster to the grave when using Uprising that way, but you do miss out on the LP gain it can normally provide you. I hope this helps!
special summoning superbia using the first darklords effect but superbia's effect can't be activated due to "missed timing". Bloody hell.
When I use Darkloard of Pleasure I run it with remove mind control, so that I can get back whatever I give up.
Sorry to say, a Darklord copying Contact to revive Superbia, DOESN’T allow Superbia to activate its revive effect.
You should talk about despia darklord of albaz.
Uts not a meta deck but its good for funsies.
A card I play in my deck and that helps to unlock a lot of situations:
Predaplant chlamydosundew to summon greedy venom dragon.
Unfortunately it takes your summon, but you get 3300 atk monster that can turn an opponent's monster to 0 and negate its effect to make otk easier and even more it can destroy all monsters on board when itself is destroyed, and revives itself by banishing a dark lvl 8 or more... More than easy to have in this deck
I play this deck in a control way and a play that can be mentioned (just need a darklord on field with kristya): you can copy the trap eff that negates the eff of a Monster to negate kristya on your own turn.
You fill up your board and if you don't kill with that, at the end kristya's effect comes back so your opponent still isn't able to special summon on his turn.
G̶o̶d̶ that old man in solemn trap cards as a monster card when?
and where's Archlord support cards.
Crack Theory Time
We still do not know the direct aftermath of Witch's Strike
Forbidden Drops shows Condemned converting Nasten.
Darklord of Pleasure/Delight are current versions of God's attendants (seen is Solemn Scolding).
Nergal was revealed at the same time as Pleasure/Delight.
I therefore posit that Nergal is the Darklord version of Solemn dude.
Also, yes, a legit Archlord theme would be heckin' nice.
@@GoldenNovaYugioh Interesting, though I dont see how Nergal would be Solemn guy...
Though Im surpriser Archlord Krystia hasnt been converted yet. He must be one vigilant Archlord.
For anyone woundering summoning a second superbra doesn't work the way he thought. I have tried that and only the first special summon worked. Or at least in Master Duel thats how it worked.
Really expected you to cut into the tcg name while reading the fusion
My question is why are the dark Lords fairy type and you got any reviews on fiend type
Me watching this vid a year later to learn how to play it in master duel...
why im still targeted when im playing the first darklord in master duel? like the effevt of the tribrigade banish from the field? fake effect?
it would be pretty cool if the text on the first darklord also includes "Summon 3 darklords with different name" and change the effect of not being targeted to not being affected by card effect.
6:58 Could you clarify what you mean in that chain? Because Banishment is spell speed 1 (2 if you use Tezca to copy) but that would require him on the field, which mean you can't use his handtrap eff.
Certainly! If Tezca is still in your deck and you have any of the other Big Darklords that can copy spells and traps, and Banishment is set up in the grave, then any of them can copy Banishment at spell speed 2 to grab the Tezca. Hope that helps ro clarify!
oh, I didn't think of that before. thank you.
Do the agent monsters have a lore
I have some darklord cards on me, i added some to wave of light deck
It is i lucifer heylel morningstar the serpent and the shining one the original fallen angel the devil the anointed cherub the sepherim of light the prince of darkness
Update: There was that OTHER Wave that gave us the Fusion....
The reason that the cards had to be rename darklord is because the Japanese name was fallen angel like fallen angel marie and fallen angel reficule existed before the gx mangas fallen angels
Despia is very nice on this deck..
question, can you sumon a 2nd mornningstar with the inital one tribute summoned ?
No, unfortunately the clause that keeps Morningstar from being special summoned applies in this case as well.
@@GoldenNovaYugioh thought so, im trying to get back in to yugioh, for fun nkt fkr competittion lol and the whole fallen angel arch type sounds fun
Hey, that's perfectly valid! You don't have to be playing competative to enjoy YuGiOh. I've had some of my favorite games just playing decks with cool mechanics, and Darklords have some of the most unique around! I hope you keep having fun, and welcome to the community!
Lucifer looks really cool, but that’s about all the interest I have in this archetype/theme
im so sad that their fusion trap can't banish from GY for material, it would actually make it way more playable
you skipped Edeh irae
We don't talk about that one
Did you actually call lucifer a *SNACK*
You better believe it! Look at 'em and tell me they AREN'T a whole KitKat bar!
Lucifer: ...oh my god, I can't believe I traded God for this.
Where is the timestamps guy?
Ignoring the GX Darklords, when the whole modern archetype is inspired by GX darklords? But why?
Would be cool to see the darklords become a chaos deck with there counterparts being lights like Morningstar’s counterpart would be like Michael hell it would be cool if it were the arch lightsworn just not on the dragon,
Hail Satan! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

A Historic Moment In GoldenNova Lore
strat is bad bro. you're better off using venus for link spam than to turbo lucifer. lucifer is still bad; konami just really wants us to play it.
I hope this gets a update with the new darklords and add the Solom/Forbidden cards🥹 ugh. The art is so pretty on all of them. Damn Konomi and not giving us the artist names.
