DARK WORLD - Ten Minute Testing 

You know, I'd argue that the new Dark World cards should be considered the gold standard when it comes to legacy support. They're powerful, give the deck better consistency and end boards, help Dark Worlds do what they want to do better instead of being generically powerful, and they're not generic, which means there's an actual reason to play them in Dark Worlds.

Top Tier description

MBT is so excited for the Dark World Structure Deck that he waited day after day and made a 10 minute after his drive home without ever changing clothes.

If discard from the hand was a drug, Dangers and Dark Worlds are positively addicted to it _and_ trying to get others hooked on it too.

Even 11 years later, Dark World still holds an edge via resource loops and strong discard effects. The new boss monster and combo pieces fit perfectly into the established core. really nice work by konami, if this had been released into a different meta game, lets say about 6-8 months ago, it might have actually made meta impact.

One thing I like about this TMT and the G Golem TMT is that these decks are reasonably affordable and accessible.

quick fun thing since this deck doesn't really need its normal summon playing three tour guide a sangan and a neko main king means the moment you opponent activates an effect you can shotgun grapha discarding neko main king to skip your opponents turn

Dont worry mbt im sure youll get the next hero structure.

At this point, I feel like MBT can just say; "It's time for game three and you know what that means! a best of three vs. Tear" 😂😂😂

I have waited for so long for a deck to abuse Giantrainer, and my patience has been rewarded. Thank you, MBT, for becoming based when no one else would.

I’m shook MBT knows Baudrillard lol. Not even a lot of my philosophy professors in uni knew him but I love him lol

One change I would make to the list is changing one a piece of Bigfoot and Thunderbird for Nessie and Ogopogo. Purely going on more Danger names = better cuz less chance to hit the same name of the one you activated, with Nessie searching the Danger name you're missing

Wow I cant believe MBT went to the lockbox 3 days in a row just for a comedic intro. Truly a sign of dedication.

I'm happy that you put this out. Admittedly, I was way more keen on the more midrangey/grind game focused build you mentioned in the short. But still, this was cool.

One thing I like about the hand-loop combo is that unlike hand-loop decks like Mermail where you have to learn the hand-loop combos to fully optimize the deck, you don't need it for Dark World as it's optional, but having it is a great icing on the cake.

the Dark World structure deck was what got me back into yugioh as a teenager, so seeing this is pretty rad! (i'd say "who knows, maybe it'll do so a second time", but there's no way i'm going out to locals in the midst of the Tear Zero format lol) good stuff joseph "emm beetee" rothschild

Maybe it’s just me, but the way you ended the video makes me think once Tears “rotate out”, Dark World might actually be a strong deck once people stop teching for specifically Tear, which makes me excited.

I'm currently labbing fabled dark world and the things it makes are insane. Cards like raven are basically just a 1 card baron, the field spell turns on every card in your hand, and looping back cards into your hand while making boss monsters like groza is the equivalent of loading a glock and aiming it at your opponent

Man, I really want them to give us Colorless. It’s been stuck in limbo of never being shown alongside Bastion’s fire dragon

As brickey as this deck can be, It is so, so much fun to play.

Hopefully we can get the best GX archetype next… “the hot sauce characters”

It's funny how the two times a structure deck for darkworlds it's released, something happens that make them really akward to play, this time was the like ten GY interactions such as, but not limited to I don't know, shifter, dimfis, macro, ishizu cards

just got back into yugioh after not playing since qliphorts and saw that they made a darkworld structure and now i see this video cant wait to put together a darkworld deck to mess around with

Clearly the reason you never received the pre-release was because konami changed the delivery note to "your courier discards 1 parcel"

This video got me into playing dark world when it first came out I would not be playing Yugioh anymore if I hadn’t picked up dark worlds and given up being competitive

Wow, that’s a lot of activations you’ve got there. Would be a shame if someone…summoned a Masquerade

i still love how cheesy that looks as you shuffle back so much of their hand they cant do nothing like wow.

@10:00 Dweller was the real problem (it almost wins vs Dark World on its own). Despite the spell-heavy hand vs -just- Nat Beast, you just activate Accession, gets negated, then you activate the GY effect that isn't considered a "Spell Card activation" but a spell card effect so Nat Beast CANNOT negate it. You discard Grapha, destroy Nat Beast, then because Accession says "you can only activate 1 per turn" you can use it again to fuse!!! Ohh wait, it said you can USE both effects once. So it won't work. Can't wait for the next TMT! (If only it was "you can only activate" for 1st effect, and soft opt the gy effect, the deck could have actually worked without over-relying on Dangers)

Dark worlds, my boys I love it. Now where is the six samurai retrains

That’s a very cool way to hand loop.

Dark world is like gambling, you can lose 100% of the time, but can win 2000% of the time

Remember yall DO NOT answer the giveaway scam bots

I got the Structure of them in OCG, super fun to play it as on it's own and it's really easy to play. Only thing is to try to stop yourself from going 100% and then run out of gas on crackback. I don't have the Danger set yet sadly lol

Real Dark World hours Who up?

the baudrillard reference is perfect, and goddamn mike loda's site is a blast from the past

Dark World has been my favorite deck since I logged on to Master Duel after not playing yugioh since I was like five before duel links caught my attention for two games and i fell out of nostalgic love for that weird speed duel format. Learning about proper deck building, the competitive scene, how to tell the meta to [FRIEND] off with something special, coping with master duel’s free to play experience, & how to play the decks I like and still make them pack enough punch to survive. Seeing new Dark World support got me excited for yugioh like no other I swear. I literally went and downloaded a simulator for the first time in my life, so I could play with it. Since this is an essay of a comment already, might as well tell you that I’m loving the content, even if you hate ghostricks. I know they’re bad, but they’re fun little guys, and I like them. The yugioh community has been interesting. The way the game kinda moves on when a new thing comes out is a little disorienting, but I should’ve expected it. It’s a mentality that’s everywhere in gaming now. I don’t like it, but it’s how games go. New thing comes out -> it is very strong -> everyone plays new thing because it is strong -> other option that is best defense against meta arises (optional) -> old strong things are still strong and still there but less often -> new thing comes out -> repeat. But I’ve also seen people like me. People different than me, but excited about the game in such a way that I can’t even begin to discredit it. People who want to play a game. There’s a lot of kinds of yugioh fans, just like any other series or hobby or whatever this is to you. It’s been a wild ride getting back into it, but I want to say thanks for the content. Seeing you, dzeef, distant coder, tsx1, dotodoya, seereax, rhymestyle, and the duel logs play and invest time and effort into this game has made it a lot easier for me to come back. Content creators give a lot of life to communities for me. When I feel burnt out on a yugioh, getting stomped by eldlich, floo, or branded+whatever, seeing you play and strategize gives it all a fresh new breath. So thanks. Keep up the good work. ❤ 👍🏾

Why not use Trade-in? You have 12 levels 8, it's more gas, let's you break boards discarding dangers if you go second, it facilitates the Reingbeaux-Grapha resource loop and there is few Ash in this format like you said. It also reduces the likelihood of bricking with a full DW hand. Apart from that really similar to my build. Didn't know Brainwashing was not once per turn, I'll probably change Punishment for it.

YES! More Dark World Gaming!

where are the neko mane kings :(

I'm honestly worried what support they will give in the dragons collide structure deck retrain

It's so satisfying winning with DW right now because everybody thinks it's bad since people are already playing cards that counter it, but they end up losing anyway lol.

Where's neko mane king? You've never seen a grown man cry till you successfully resolve neko mane king on him.

I nominate Galaxy Eyes Photon for the next TMT. Cuz come on the whole box is named after them :)

Is the description a Watchmen reference?

I appreciated the Baudrillard reference 2:37

Honestly really glad this deck isn't too crazy good. Say what you want about tear 0 format, but the last thing we need to push it out of the meta is a deck who's main strategy is hand looping

Ah yes, the sillva hand loops, my favorite 😂😂😭😭

Mad props to the post office for letting MBT record that bit.

Favourite part: the cease your investigations tank top in the ad read

As a lightsworn player in TCG had to side dark mirror for a long time because of decks like Dark World and other strong darks.

this is a very cool deck that was good in very different formats of different eras with different playstyles (!) over the years. 10 years ago I didn't enjoy playing against dw but nowadays I respect and admire the deck

Is... is the actual often-used term of the Kitkallos effect "doing the yoinky-sploinky"? 'Cause if so that might actually make me want to try this strategy.

What I like about this new support is that it can enable the potential 5x Trish type strat going first and instant fusion+winda+Reborn strat for going second. If I made a list.. those 2 strats would be my primaries. Future episode of jank?

Let's go I've been waiting for this!!!

The fact that Konami didn't sponsor MBT for Dark Worlds is the greatest blunder since the 2012 ban list.

Admittedly I was much more interesting the trap variation, I feel like this is the same iteration of the deck that everyone else is showing off. Regardless, love the video, but I think it'd be cool if you made another showing off that version of the deck!

I was not expecting the Baudrillard reference, but it does work. the retrain of a retrain is in a sense a simulation of a simulation, just like how disneyworld is a simulation of the rest of our world, which is in itself artificial. So then the question is, if yugioh is a simulation that has control over our lives, and if opposition to the system only perpetuates the system, then how do we successfully destroy yugioh?

Banger intro

Konami activated dark world dealings before sending out the package.

my favorite thing about modern dark worlds is that SIILVA's 20 year old ass is now the most devastating first turn play dark worlds can do. I love making my opponent start with 2 cards going second

Master Rule 5 is a second graveyard

Konami is just afraid of making Colorless a real card because then Dark World would be tier 0.

dont think im letting that CeLuRi pass me by!

the funniest thing a dark world deck can do is OTK off of "Fine"

Hot take: You should side Dark World Dealings against Floowandereeze and other non Tear decks.

That's it! I'm playing d shifter in tear!

I like your Dave Strider shirt.

Why does he look so smooth in this video

baudrillard in an mbt video we truly live in a simulation

Boy he was not kidding about Coach king giantrainer being pot of greed on steroids

What was that joke about Jean Baudrillard 😂😂😂.

Looks like everyone was right, all Dark Worlds needed to be a meta contender was some bat shit insane support, and it is glorious.

Can you show us the cool control variant you were talking about the other day?

We have the same pajama pants

Joseph I don't mean to be a hater, but who do you get your decklists from? I don't understand how you're running 0 Broww and more copies of the fire lv4 than Nessie. These ratios don't make sense.

Tbf to that 1 game naturia beast is a beast of a card

i s2g every time i see MBT recently, it's just dave strider shirt

mbt making sure to visit his local post office late late at night to film skits and sketches

I heavily fuck with the dark worlds, deck is legitimately good

fuck yeah been waiting for this ever since that short you made about them.

Wtf, I didn't know they released darkworld support, even though I've played against it like 8 times last week and destroyed it with BA.

Add a “Neko Mane King” and boom its your turn again hahaha

Aside from being able to discard your opponents entire hand if set up properly, which I think is one of the least fun abilities for a deck to have. This is the kind of deck that makes Yugioh fun. Crazy combos, drawing 97 cards, throwing half your hand and deck into the graveyard just to fill your board and hand back up, summoning monsters to your opponent's side of the field to get off certain effects, all sorts of different summon mechanics, a present skill ceiling, but not taking a PHD to play, just fairly consistent explosive plays, and it doesn't focus on negating your opponent's ability to breathe. But it's still nowhere close to unbeatable. And being somewhat similar to a dominating deck like IshTear, just proves what has always been true about Yugioh. Rogue is just simply more fun than meta.

did i just hear MBT reference a different card game linch him or give him an award there can be no in between

Im still waiting for someone to play dark world exodia

Ohh so that's what this deck does. Every game I've played against them I've shotgunned d shifter and they passed

Just curious, what would you swap out for the new “fetch and pitch” card? I assume they’re in the deck now. Also, has anything else come out I might have missed?

The images for the video didn’t load but the audio was still playing. I honestly thought it was a tier 0 bit at first lol

say it with me now... CERULI

I agree with you about the meta call man. I've been playing DW since 2005 deck always got bested by something each format and also if Droll comes back we're f***ed

I love Dark World Brainwashing, but I can't find a way to make it practical and the fusion spell actually makes it harder to activate.

I don't see a reason not to play Branded in High Spirits. It's a discard, setup for Gates, and an Upstart since Albion tosses a copy out to tuck and draw. Foolish Burial Goods is also alright to send Accesscion for a guaranteed discard but I don't like it as much.

in my country this video came out 3:45 AM amd for some fucking reason im awake

Wait, does the dark world fusion spell just power creep overload fusion?

If one think I learned from master saga is thunder bird never hits something. So so I thought...

wheres eye of timaeus?

You can also play Canon soldier, saryujas, machine dupes, and morphtronic telefons for an ftk :)

Ok but hear me out, if tearlaments mill cards, then why aren’t I playing skull servants

That skit reminds me of some players dedicated to their low-tier archetype to have some support but Konami keeps starving them....

MBT get out of my post office 😂
