Play Underworld Goddess with IP Masq. Underworld Goddess+Maindecked Goldds make going second against literally any non-Ariseheart board pretty trivial to break through, and IP Masq-made Underworld Goddess is beyond obnoxious to get rid of if your opponent had enough handtraps to stop you from fully comboing off if you went first. Avramax (made with Masq) or Link BLS are also decent options as well for being tough to remove monsters in a simplified gamestate.

[@ghostwithknife416]

[@The_Young_Lion]

@TheCaliEffect [King of Games] Dark World newbie here. I have three questions: 1. Since Dark World cards don’t activate their effects off the Knightmare discard effect, why use Knightmares in the Extra Deck? 2. How does the deck protect itself against Droll and Lock Bird and Dimension Shifter? 3. What did you put in the Side Deck for Game 2 and Game 3?

[@shrekisboss5759]

The knightmare monsters are there because they are fiend extra deck monsters that you can go into if you lock yourself into only summoning fiends with muckraker, the danger monsters also trigger off if the knightmare monsters because they trigger any time they’re discarded. The game plan against shifter is hope you draw enough gas to make Bagooska with some dangers and pass, shifter really hoses this deck and there isn’t enough space for cards that out shifter like gamma or called by. My side deck is probably different than his but I strongly suggest siding skill drain as it is an auto-win against most decks going first.

[@PlagueSpreader64]

Your English is passable and I understand what you're trying to say. However, I would argue that once the Danger! Dark World player gets rolling unless the opponent has an interruption they should likely just concede that game and move onto the next. At locals a few times I've asked if my opponent would like to give up after the first time I rip 2 cards out of their hand, asked again the second time I did, asked again when I had 4 negates on board, and asked again when I had 7 negates on board. Then passed turn, got super poly'd into starvingwing venom dragon, laughed at my opponent because that's not nearly enough to break my board, and then otk'd next turn. At that point it's my opponent's fault for just not accepting the inevitable and making the game go 20 minutes instead of 10.

[@wizi6590]

Im really debating about putting two ceruli. I see the logic but my heart doesnt accept it lol. I love the low danger count. I dont really like the randomness of the dangers.
