A Strong Instant Rank 3 Card which can support this Deck brilliantly. Tour Guide can allows you to summon Dante quickly and set up combo.
Fiendish Rhino Warrior | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 1400 / DEF 900 |
Maximum Gustav [SR] | |
Fiend-Type monsters you control, except "Fiendish Rhino Warrior", cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can send 1 Fiend-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, except "Fiendish Rhino Warrior". You can only use this effect of "Fiendish Rhino Warrior" once per turn. |
Fiendish Rhino Warrior's effect not only will it protect those "Burning Abyss" monsters from battle or self-destruction but it can also allows you to mill an extra "Burning Abyss" monster and trigger their second effect when sent to the Graveyard (including if it is detached as an Xyz Material).
Burning Abyss main deck monsters are all level 3 and have similar effects. Each turn, you can activate their effects to either special summon them when you have no spell/trap cards on the field or activate their sent to the graveyard effect.
Since they can all special summon themselves, it makes it very easy to Xyz into a rank 3 Xyz, which is going to be Dante. Dante has a milling effect to trigger BA's sent to graveyard effect for some combo or extended plays.
Quick notes on BA monsters' sent to graveyard effects:
Make sure to use a normal summon on the BA monster that you want to activate the sent to graveyard effect before making an Xyz/synchro. If you go into an Xyz like Dante, you'll want to use the one you normal summoned as the cost to activate the effect so you get the normal summoned BA's sent to grave effect.
Cir is almost always the one to be normal summoned since its effect can extend your plays. Scarm is good for turn 1, while Farfa is if you want to make an offensive play.
Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 800 / DEF 2000 |
Fantastic Arc [UR] | |
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of these effects of "Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn. ● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. ● During the End Phase, if this card is in the Graveyard because it was sent there this turn: You can add 1 Level 3 DARK Fiend-Type monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss". |
The search effect is pretty slow since it works during the end phase. But thanks to the Beatrice effect, you can add another Burning Abyss monster during your opponent's End Phase.
Search for Cir so you can sort of loop Cir and Scarm combo, or Farfa so you can prevent milling all of them from the deck right away. If you only bring 1 Rubic, then Scarm is the only reliable way to get it from the deck.
Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 1000 / DEF 1900 |
Fantastic Arc [R] | |
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of these effects of "Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn. ● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. ● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 monster on the field; banish it until the End Phase. |
Even though the banish effect is only temporary, it's still useful to remove certain monsters so you can attack directly.
Keep in mind that this can also banish your own cards. If you get turn 1 and use Dante's effect to mill the deck, you'll need to carefully read if it's Farfa or not. Otherwise, Farfa will remove your Dante from the field and lose the leftover material.
Putting Farfa in as an Xyz material is the safest place to put it since it will always get sent to the grave if your Xyz monster gets removed through any forms of removal.
During your turn, you can use its effect to banish your opponent's monster and use the skill to permanently remove them out of the game.
Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 1600 / DEF 1200 |
Fantastic Arc [SR] | |
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of these effects of "Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn. ● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. ● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Burning Abyss" monster in your Graveyard, except "Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss"; Special Summon it. |
You can revive Farfa so you can store it in Dante as a safety net in case your Dante gets destroyed, or revive Scarm so you can search for another Cir and do a slow loop.
Libic, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 1300 / DEF 700 |
Antinomic Theory [R] Fantastic Arc [R] | |
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of these effects of "Libic, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn. ● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. ● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 Level 3 DARK Fiend-Type monster from your hand, but its effects are negated. |
If you get turn 2, this can be a "safe" card to normal summon since this plays around card removal cards your opponent might have like Ballista Squad or even Treacherous Trap Hole, allowing you to potentially shrug it off and make a different play, or at the very least, not leave you defenseless.
Alich, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 1200 / DEF 0 |
Fantastic Arc [N] | |
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of these effects of "Alich, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn. ● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. ● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; negate its effects until the end of this turn. |
You can reliably send this from the deck to the grave with Fiend Griefing. It's almost as effective as Farfa to stop your opponent's combos during their turn, so this essentially lets you have multiple disruptions in case you milled all of the Farfas or Alichs.
However, Farfa's effect is generally better since removing them means they can't use them to Xyz, synchro, or tributed.
Rubic, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 100 / DEF 2100 |
Fantastic Arc [N] | |
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. Cannot be used as a Synchro Material, except for the Synchro Summon of a "Burning Abyss" Synchro Monster. If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Rubic, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" once per turn. |
It's the only tuner in the deck so its main purpose is to simply let you synchro into Virgil.
Barbar, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 1700 / DEF 1000 |
Antinomic Theory [N] | |
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of these effects of "Barbar, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn.● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target up to 3 "Burning Abyss" cards in your Graveyard, except "Barbar, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss"; banish them, and if you do, inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each. |
Pretty decent stats with 1700 ATK which can be used as a beater in some situations. Its second effect will able to burn max. 900 Life Points to your opponents which is used to end the game while your opponent has 900 Life Points or below.
Archfiend Eccentrick | LIGHT Fiend ★3 ATK 800 / DEF 1000 |
Selection Box Vol.01 Super Mini [UR] | |
Pendulum Effect You can target 1 other Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy both it and this card. You can only use this effect of "Archfiend Eccentrick" once per turn. Monster Effect You can Tribute this card, then target 1 monster on the field; destroy it. You can only use this effect of "Archfiend Eccentrick" once per turn. |
Since the deck barely has any back row removal, having some is useful to prevent getting interrupted. But most back row removal cards will still be good.
Using Eccentrick mostly helps more if you are using draw sense spell/trap so that you don't end up using the skill to get something like Mystical Space Typhoon when you need any of the Darklord spell/trap.
Wightprincess | DARK Zombie ★3 ATK 1600 / DEF 0 |
Energy of Gigarays [R] | |
This card’s name becomes "Skull Servant" while it is in the Graveyard. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 "Wightprince" from your Deck to the Graveyard. During either player's turn: You can send this card from your hand or field to the Graveyard; all monsters currently on the field lose ATK and DEF equal to their own Level/Rank x 300, until the end of this turn. |
Can be used during either players' turn makes this card more useful to prevent OTK from your opponent by reducing their ATK regarding to their own Level/Rank.
Monster Reborn | Normal Spell |
5th Anniversary Campaign [UR] | |
Target 1 monster in either player's Graveyard; Special Summon it. |
You have a chance of getting this with the skill after using a Darklord monster's effect and paying 1000 LP.
This can be a good and useful card to simply revive a monster without cost, but it could also not be that good since you have a less reliable chance to pick up Banishment to get Contact/Sanctified and put them both in the graveyard to be usable for your other Darklords again.
Oasis of Dragon Souls | Continuous Trap |
Pendulum Genesis [SR] | |
Activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in Defense Position. It becomes Wyrm-Type. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card. |
Contact can only be used once per turn and using through a Darklord costs some LP. Oasis is more of a costless revival with the drawback that it's slower than using Contact. It also helps you bluff your opponent in case you want to set your Sanctified.
Number 9: Dyson Sphere | LIGHT Machine ★9 ATK 2800 / DEF 3000 |
Darkness Gimmick [UR] | |
2 Level 9 monsters Once per Battle Step, during your opponent's turn, if this card with Xyz Material is attacked: Negate the attack (this is a Quick Effect). When this card is targeted for an attack while it has no Xyz Materials: You can target 2 monsters in your Graveyard; attach those targets to this card as Xyz Materials. During your Main Phase 1: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this card can attack your opponent directly this turn. Your opponent must control a monster with higher ATK than this card for you to activate and to resolve this effect. |
Can only be made with 2 Tezcatlipoca since it's the only level 9 in the deck. Dyson Sphere is a pretty strong wall that can be pretty difficult to get over, but not always reliable since there are plenty of card removal effects in the game.
Against decks that rely on battling, this can be a strong card to summon. The effect of being able to attack directly can also see some use against decks like Blue Eyes that have 3000 ATK or higher.
Dark Armed, the Dragon of Annihilation | DARK Dragon ★7 ATK 2800 / DEF 1000 |
Chaotic Soldiers [UR] | |
2+ Level 7 monsters Once per turn, if you have exactly 5 DARK monsters in your GY, you can also Xyz Summon "Dark Armed, the Dragon of Annihilation" by using 1 Level 5 or higher DARK Dragon monster you control as material. You can detach 1 material from this card, then target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy it, then banish 1 card from your GY, also, this card cannot attack for the rest of this turn. |
Since there is no level 5 or higher DARK Dragon on the field, you can only summon this by using 2 Nastens on the field.
With only 2 materials, Dark Armed will be able to destroy 2 cards in a turn, but you'll have to banish cards in your graveyard. The deck has no ways to recover banished cards, so you'll have to be careful what to use.
Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger | WIND Dragon ★7 ATK 2600 / DEF 2100 |
Infinite Ray [SR] | |
2 Level 7 monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a Rank 5 or 6 Xyz Monster you control as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. |
If you're running a lot of Rank-6s, Gaia Dragon can be overlayed to them after spending all their materials.
Number 25: Force Focus | LIGHT Machine ★6 ATK 2800 / DEF 2400 |
Shining Hope [SR] | |
2 Level 6 monsters Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Level 5 or higher Effect Monster your opponent controls; negate the effects of that opponent's face-up monster, until the end of the turn. |
Photon Strike Bounzer can only negate effects upon activation. To negate continuous effects you'll need to use Force Focus. Toolbox this in your Extra Deck for utility.
Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 1000 / DEF 2500 |
Fantastic Arc [UR] | |
2 Level 3 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and choose a number from 1 to 3, then send that many cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard; until the end of this turn, this card gains 500 ATK for each card sent to the Graveyard this way. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Burning Abyss" card in your Graveyard, except this card; add it to your hand. |
Number 20: Giga-Brilliant | LIGHT Insect ★3 ATK 1800 / DEF 1800 |
Number Hunter: Kite Tenjo Unlock Event [SR] | |
2 Level 3 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; all face-up monsters you currently control gain 300 ATK. |
You can make this with 2 Ukoback, which is often normal summoned anyway to send the Darklord spell/trap to the grave. Dante simply lets you have a mill effect only since the sent to grave effect won't be used.
Using Ukoback to send another Ukoback and using Contact to make a Dante isn't really worth it since the milling effect isn't reliable. It's still better to use Ukoback to send something that you can use with the other Darklords right away.
Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal | LIGHT Fairy ★6 ATK 2500 / DEF 2800 |
Heart of Xyz [SR] | |
2 Level 6 monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by sending 1 "Burning Abyss" monster from your hand to the Graveyard, then using 1 "Dante" monster you control as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) If Summoned this way, the following effect cannot be activated this turn. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; send 1 card from your Deck to the Graveyard. If this card in your possession is destroyed by your opponent's card (by battle or card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Burning Abyss" monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. |
Giga-Brilliant is mostly summoned to upgrade into Corebage.
A great Rank 6 Xyz monster which can be xyz summoned by using 2 Level 6 Darklord monster. Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal (Speed 2 effect) works great that can allows you to sent Darklord card to the Graveyard during your opponent's turn.
This effect will allows you to activate Darklord Cards effect which can let you setup the board easier and faster, even sometimes you can disrupt your opponent as well.
Number 28: Titanic Moth | FIRE Insect ★7 ATK 2400 / DEF 2200 |
Shark Fang [R] | |
2 Level 7 monsters If you control no other monsters, this card can attack directly, but when it does so using this effect, the battle damage inflicted to your opponent is halved. When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each card in their hand. |
Make Titanic Moth by using two Nasten as material. This monster lets you hit directly for 1200 plus deals a significant amount of additional burn damage. Best use when pushing damage for game.
Sword Breaker | EARTH Warrior ★6 ATK 2700 / DEF 1000 |
Shining Hope [R] | |
2 Level 6 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to declare 1 Monster Type; this card gains the following effect. At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles a monster of a Type that has been declared: Destroy that monster. |
Most archetypes have the same monster type for all of their monsters. Sword Breaker can serve as a good wall to block attacks.
Digital Bug Corebage | LIGHT Insect ★5 ATK 2200 / DEF 1800 |
Infinite Ray [R] | |
2 or more Level 5 LIGHT Insect-Type monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by detaching 2 Xyz Materials from a Rank 3 or 4 Insect-Type Xyz Monster you control, then using that Xyz Monster as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Defense Position monster your opponent controls; shuffle it into the Deck. Once per turn, if the battle position of a monster(s) on the field is changed (except during the Damage Step): You can attach 1 Insect-Type monster from your Graveyard to this card as Xyz Material. |
Corebage's removal is very powerful because it returns the enemy monster to the Deck. Use this to get rid of defensive walls.
Number 47: Nightmare Shark | WATER Fish ★3 ATK 2000 / DEF 2000 |
Reginald Kastle Unlock Event [UR] | |
2 Level 3 monsters When this card is Special Summoned: You can attach 1 Level 3 WATER monster from your hand or your side of the field to this card as an Xyz Material.
