EDIT: Needs revision, I missed the vital card text on
Darklord Ixchel that reads "...target 1 "Darklord" Spell/Trap in your GY..." so this will not work with any Spell/Trap. I'm disappointed, but experimenting with other cards like
Spell Reproduction...
I just built this deck, still playtesting. What sparked my interest in building the deck is the challenge in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel to "Take control of X opponent monsters". I also pulled
The First Darklord, so I thought it would be cool to summon him. I've experimented with
Darklord Nurse Reficule deck, and wanted to build another Darklord deck, though I don't have much experience at all playing Fusion monsters.
So far, I have found that
Diviner of the Herald +
Darklord Contact is a great starting hand. Target
Darklord Ukoback with Diviner, and then Dark Contact Ukoback to get
Chaos Ruler, The Chaotic Magical Dragon out fast.
Darklord Ixchel and
Darklord Amdusc are great for playing Spell/Trap cards from the GY, like
Necro Fusion or
Greater Polymerization. Sending the Spell/Trap cards you need in GY with
Foolish Burial Grounds. I'm thinking that
Banishment of the Darklords should usually fetch
Darklord Contact, as Contact is what gets you Ixchel or Amdusc on the field to start targeting Spell/Traps in the GY. Can also send
Called by the Grave or
Infinite Impermanence to the GY with
Foolish Burial Grounds, to prep counters to hand traps or monster effects, depending on your matchup.
Don't forget to take advantage of that card draw with
Darklord Ixchel!
Can use the link Code monsters from the extra deck if you get bricked on your starting hand/draws.
Halqifribrax -->
Phonon Pulse Dragon -->
Chaos Ruler, The Chaotic Magical Dragon might work, though I have not needed to go that route in playtesting just yet.
Darklord Enchantment and
Grinning Grave Virus are mostly for fun and can be replaced by better cards.
I'm only Gold Rank in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel, so I'm still learning! This is my first attempt at building a deck from scratch. Any help/tips, strats I have missed, or card suggestions, would be much appreciated. 🙏
