Dark World Anaylsis

This deck is more recent and I actually liked it more than the Agents because I find that the cards have more synergy with each other and can mostly function well alone whereas the Agents have a couple of cards that require the Angel's field spell in order to have its second ability. The Dark World's field spell has a much better stand-alone effect compared to the Angel's field spell. Adding in the available powerful dark monsters, spells and traps and you have a very powerful deck. This is one of the few decks that can run Eradicator Epidemic Virus! Once you use it, you will be able to target with Mind Crush.

My Dark World staples (33)
Monsters (18)
3X Grapha, Dragon God of Dark World
3X Snow, Magician of Dark World
3X Broww, Huntsman of Dark World
3X Sillva, Warlord of Dark World
1X Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World
1X DAD
1X Tragoedia
1X Sangan
1X Morphing Jar
1X Zephyros the Elite

Spells (11)
3X Dark World Dealings
3X Gate of Dark World
2X Dark World Lightning
1X Allure of Darkness
1X Card Destruction
1X Giant Trunade

Trap (4)
3X Eradicator Epidemic Virus
1X Mind Crush

There are only 7 slots left and you will want to fill them up with as many Banlist cards as possible:

Spells (7)
2X MST
1X Dark Hole
1X Monster Reborn
3X Pot of Duality

Giant Trunade and Zephyros are simply to bounce and reuse Gate of Dark World. This deck can also run Deck Destruction Virus and Skill Drain well. Unlike the Agents, there isn't much space for variation. Mike of Duelinglagacy.blogspot.com uses Breakers while the HK National Champion, Liu Hoi Ki ran Rykos and Charge of the Light Brigade.

Edit: Just saw how Rykos can be used in Dark World by the HK Champion. It fills up the Graveyard for to help fulfil Gate of Dark World's requirement of banishing monsters. Video of play courtesy of DuelistCodex.wordpress.com
