Evaluation

Rating

B-

Pros

Has an effect that could increase its own attack by 500.
It can get your removed from play monsters back to your hand.

Cons

Stats are low which makes it susceptible to attacks.
You have to discard a Fiend-Type monster in order to increase its attack.
The attack boost is gone at the End Phase.
It can only recycle banished cards when this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard.
Can only recycle banished DARK monsters.

Tips

Used in a dark necrofear deck to send fiends to the graveyard, then recover monsters removed from play by dark necrofear.

Banish Cards

Dark Necrofear could be used to banish Fiend-Type monsters from your Graveyard to Special Summon it and Skull Lair could also remove from play monsters in your Graveyard to destroy a monster in the field. On the other hand, Archfiend Empress could protect DARK Fiend-Type monsters from getting destroyed by banishing DARK Fiend-Type monsters in the Graveyard. When Trance Archfiend got destroyed, you could get those banished monsters back to your hand.

Deck

Dark World Deck

Dark World

Rulings

Discarding 1 card from your hand is not a cost but an effect.
The effect sending 1 banised Dark monster back to your hand can be activated during damage step.

Remember when this card is quite meta?

Me neither.

I like to discard Snoww to search Gates of the Dark World, banish Snoww for Gates' effect, then get her back when this card gets destroyed, piggybacking a search on top of Gates' extra draw next turn.

Why is that card not to purchase anymore with Yami Bakura at Lvl.30/40?

After reading your comments I feel better now of decision to use my Sr ticket to get archfiend

Which SR ticket? I have the 1 Year Anniversary SR and the Ranked Duel SR. Neither has this :(

Been wanting this card desperately and funnily enough, got it while beating up lvl 10 Bakura for a mission after only a few tries. Wish everyone else the same luck who wants this guy.

You can use a Silent Swordsman Lv 6 deck to deal with Bakura's Man Eater Bug and lock his draws.

I've spent hours farming for this card off bakura lvl 40 and i've only gotten one drop.

I already got 8 copies by quick farm with 5-6k assesments (+campaign bonus). Sometimes lower DA give better rewards compared to 8k.

Any ideas how to get this card easier ? Already spent 3k keys and only 1 drop
