A Hungry Man Must Ponder...
January 31, 2007

If a Hindu is hungry to the point of starvation will he eat his Zebu cattle (the kind utilized by such people)?  Many look at this question and simply say, ya he is about to starve to death and that cow can feed him and his family for some time.)  But one who believes this does not understand that without the cow life gets much worse than starvation.  For the cow is the tool used to plow fields, transport goods, insulate living conditions, provide a heating fuel, a cooking fuel, etc.  Everything about the cow being alive, including its dung, is more beneficial to that individual than feeding themselves.  For if the cow dies their way of life is totally doomed.  The cows death, no matter how "necessary" in the moment it occurs, provides long term consequences that are far more disastrous than the instinctive driving force of hunger.  
 
To understand the above concept one must look past the concept of immediate satisfaction.  We have to look at the question and think a turn ahead.  Just like those who utilized the new otk which totally dominated Orlando, we have to be willing to take a little hurting for the more important aspect of our current situation.  2000 life point damage, multiple dead draws, and a lack of monster removal means that when we go to win it better be a win.
 
Dark World is an archetype that just refuses to die away.  It is more than playable (as proven through the months its been out) but in order for it to do exceptionally it must be combined with something else.  On its own it can not stand but when combined with our new friends the gadgets or even our old ones the gravekeepers, you get something that has a steady way to generate advantage and something capable of rewarding you for waiting the duel out.  With this I present to you all 2 decks.  One designed by Chris Michaelis of team Onslaught utilizing the gadgets.  His deck is entitled Babylon due to the mythical Vail about the gadgets. 
 
Chris  Rowlands and I have been corresponding for a few weeks now and he has been having some great success with his gravekeepers/DW deck.  Winning multiple local tournaments and coming close to it with 9-1 records.  His deck plays off the fact Royal Tribute forces both players to discard every monster in their hand.  This gives him the opportunity to swarm the field with DW monsters while removing any advantage gadget players or other decks have generated through monster effects.  Both of these decks find an alternative way to generate advantage and take advantage of what advantage they generate by smacking an opponent in the face for 2300 plus damage.  If played properly these decks starve an opponent of resources and force them to think of each moves consequences.  We want our opponent to think, because beating someone who thinks their going to win is a great feeling:)

I recommend that you all give these decks a try and learn about their mechanics.  The game is changing and advantage goes hand in hand with field presence.  If you can control both of these aspects of the duel you will always win the game.
