Dark World monsters are one of the strongest monsters in Yugioh and with the release of this Dark World structure deck, Dark Worlds just got even stronger!
Strong yet Cheap Yugioh Cards
You probably don’t like to spend a lot of money on Yugioh cards, but there are certain strong Yugioh cards that are also fairly cheap.
Lightsworn Deck
X-Sabers, Six Samurai, etc… are just a couple of very powerful Yugioh meta decks, but a very ovverated Yugioh meta deck is the Lightsworn deck and I will explain my opinion.
Six Samurai Deck
Ok, when I used to think of a top tier deck, the first decks that came to mind were X-Sabers, Infernities, Gladiator Beasts, and Blackwings. However, the more I have started dueling on Dueling Network, I have observed that the Six Samurai deck is a very destructive one well! Along with an Exodia deck, Six Samurai decks have been the hardest deck for me to stop. And it is not just me that feels that way; when people host duels, many of them literally say “No Samurai deck!’”. That’s how powerful they (apparently) are. Today, just like I did in my top 5 archetypes post from last year, where Six Samurais were excluded, I will talk about the strengths and weaknesses of a Six Samurai deck.
Strengths
Six Samurai decks focus on stacking up Six Samurai monsters and swarming them. With cards like Legendary Six Samurai – Kizan and Shien’s Smoke Signal, they are very good at it. I run an X-Saber deck and even they are not as fast as Six Samurais! Plus, Six Samurais have a lot of support cards that make the swarming process even faster (of which include the previously mentioned Shien’s Smoke Signal, Shien’s Dojo, and Double Edged Sword). The new additions of synchro monsters like Legendary Six Samurai Shi En and Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (which has become a staple in Six Samurai decks) make the deck even stronger.
Weaknesses
The main weakness of Six Samurais. the same for Infernities, Blackwings, and X-Sabers, is this: once you take away their swarming ability, they are useless. How do you do this? Cards such as Royal Opression, Special Hurricane, and even a Herald of Perfection deck, will do the trick (Herald can negate and destroy Six Samurai support cards). Besides that, Six Samurais do not have a notable weakness(es).
Beating an Exodia Deck
Ever since I first heard about the online dueling site, I have been a frequent duelist on Yugioh Network. I have dueled with my powerful Infernity-World deck, experimented with an Alien deck, and am currently experimenting with a Spell Counter deck. Though all of these decks have been very successful, with the Spell Counter surprisingly doing the best, there is still one, classic deck that I have still not been able to overcome: an Exodia deck.
I know it’s not abstruse as to why I am constantly losing against an Exodia deck as Alien and Spell Counter decks are slow, while a solid Exodia deck can be very fast. Even my fast Infernity-World deck was unexpectedly taken down in five turns by my friend’s Exodia deck, after some lucky plays. You might think, “Dude, just mill his deck!” That’s easier said than done since good Exodia decks usually carry an Exodia Necross, or even worse, an Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord. Exodia Necross is very hard to destroy while Exodius (with good protection) can be lethal!
Every deck, no matter how strong it is, has a weakness. It is a lesson all duelists learn the hard way. Just because I haven’t been able to beat a good Exodia deck doesn’t other people haven’t either. Thus, I ask you my readers, show me your accumen: what type of deck do I need to create to defeat a solid Exodia deck?
My Dark Armed Dragon Deck
Last month, I decided to create a dark monster deck that revolved around summoning Dark Armed Dragon and The Wicked Avatar. It was a decent deck, but I believed it had the potential to surpass my Infernity-Dark World deck. I knew in order for it to reach its maximum strength, I had to add more dark oriented spells and traps, add more swarm monsters, and replace Rainbow Dark Dragon with another trump card. Last week, after buying five Phantom Darkness booster packs and acquiring a super rare Dark Armed Dragon to be my ace, I received the proper additions to create my ultimate dark deck (obviously, there were a few forbidden cards in the deck, so it is only a deck for leisure duels).
The point of this deck is to quickly bring out Dark Armed Dragon through spells like Graceful Charity and then quickly swarm dark monsters in order to play The Wicked Avatar, then remove the monsters in my grave to summon Rainbow Dark Dragon. Due to The Wicked Avatar’s effect, my opponent would not be able to activate any spells or traps for two turns, allowing me to destroy them with my high powered monsters. Monsters like Witch of the Black Forest and Dark Grepher makes this a fast process. If my opponent was able to halt my strategy, I had cards such as Dark Necrophear, Relinquished, and Blast Sphere as back ups. Overall, I’d say this deck is Dark Armed Dragon Burn deck.
The only weakness this deck has is the weak spell and trap support. I don’t really need to utilize much spells or traps for my strategies, but it would still be useful if I had some in the scenario that both my plan a and b were halted, in which case I would have to really on my various dark monsters (Dark Crusader, Barrel Dragon). Otherwise though, I think this deck is good enough to take on a lot of decks out there, however, it is strategies like the ones I use in this deck that make many of these cards forbidden!
Do you guys have any suggested improvements I should make on this deck? If so, list them in your comments.

Yugioh Deck: Spell Counter Explosion
After I started playing Yugioh network, I’ve been able to toy around with and test out lot of decks. I’ve created my great Dark World Infirnity deck and have even beat down some duelists with a great Alien deck. However, one of the decks I had been trying to make for a long time (and finally got the chance to thanks to Yugioh Network) was Spell Counter Explosion. This deck basically utilizes cards that distribute spell counters and cards that are powered by those spell counters. The deck revolves around the field spell Magical Citadel of Endymion. I didn’t really expect the deck to be great, but it has proven to be astonishingly strong and so far, I have a record of 3-2 with Spell Counter Explosion.
Now don’t confuse Spell Counter Explosion with the deck Magical Explosion, as Magical Explosion focuses for on milling, stocking up on spells, and dealing great amounts with the trap card Magical Explosion. Spell Counter Explosion utilizes cards like Breaker the Magical Warrior, Pitch Black Power Stone, and Mega Ton Magical Cannon. The best thing about the deck is that it is fast and you can deal big damage pretty much any turn. As for the ‘Trump Card’ of Spell Counter Explosion, I’d say it is Arcanite Magician Assault Mode. Arcanite Magician Assault Mode is the power-form of Arcanite Magician and thus it has the same affect, but amplified: When this card is Special Summoned, place 2 Spell Counters on it. This card gains 1000 ATK for each Spell Counter on it. You can remove 2 Spell Counters from this card to destroy all cards your opponent controls. When this card on the field is destroyed, you can Special Summon 1 “Arcanite Magician” from your Graveyard. It’s a very powerful card as it is, and in a Spell Counter Explosion deck where you can stack spell counters on a monster with ease, just think how unstoppable this monster could be.
I think Spell Counter Explosion is another one those really underrated (yet powerful) decks, as I never see it used in duels. I can’t wait for the release of the ultimate spell counter monster; Arcanite Magician, the Supreme Wizard which will arrive in the Starstrike Blast booster pack. Spell Counter Explosion may not be a tier 0 or even tier 1 deck, but it sure is a strong and fun deck to play with! My overall record in Yugioh Network is currently 10-8, and four of those wins are thanks to Spell Counter Explosion!
The Number One Monster Archetype in Yugioh
Pretty obvious, they are the best as of now….
1. X-Sabers
Strengths
X-Sabers became immensely popular the day Ancient Prophecy came out. X-Sabers are another versatile archetype that have a great amount of battle strategies. Though they are mainly focused on swarming, a lot of X-Saber have effects that revolve around things such as discarding cards from your foe’s hand. X-Sabers have amazing combos, (a notable one is known as the Faultrolls Loop, facilitated by two XX-Saber Faultrolls and XX-Saber Ragigura). X-Sabers have strong spell and trap cards, a notable and powerful support card is Gottam’s Emergency Call. They are a premier archetype and with more support and mastery, could be an even more destructive archetype.
Weaknesses
The most notable weakness that X-Sabers have is lack of support. Though their spells and traps may be strong, they still need more spell and trap card support if they want to remain number one. Also, some X-Sabers require others to be on the field, slowing the deck down a bit. Other than that, X-Sabers are a near-perfect archetype. With more X-Saber oriented cards being released in Duelist Revolution and Starstrike Blast, they will be an unstoppable force.
