Why does nobody play Dark World?

[Elzeruth]

Haven't seen a single DW player on the ladder. The deck is super strong!

[Yosogoto]

You went through every player on the ladder across the entire planet?

That's impressive.

[Zelwy]

funny handloop cannot be played

[♪Trolltuar]

It's because it takes too long, timer is too short for dark world.

[JKArtorias]

The monsters look lame.

[Lasagna]

they banned the degenerate handloop right before the support came.

now it's JUST a boring solitaire deck that puts up infinity negates.

maybe a few more people will play it now that adamancipators are being taken out back and shot by konami (RIP BOZO Block Dragon) but there are plenty of other decks that fill the niche of degenerate combo decks.

[Merilirem]

I play it sometimes. Though my Darkworld deck isn't very refined or good. Its mostly the big fusion control lol.

[Tunnel Sharks Rule!!!]

Because they haven't gotten their new boss monster yet of course, once that gets added everybody will play it

[SadPlatty©]

Also run one - but it is a bit slower, and so it usually doesn't fair so well vs most fast/special summon vomit decks. Did try to run cards to just make life harder too; Antitopia since people like using Utopia(s), special summon counters, love shoe-horning wonder-bloons for junk draws.

Have found more success in a hybrid take; half Dark World and half Divine Beasts. They alone help summon Ravioli if I don't get one of the summoning/beckoning beasts, and the discard draws just get me free blockers or whatever. Mixed with some other special summon stuff and Dark World dudes make a lot of handy XYZs/Tuner fodder.

Dark World is pretty much on the same ball park as Synchrons. If you have the gas and drive without brakes you should be able to win your games. That's all I'll say.

[MancakeBR]

Here's why I don't play Dark Worlds.

Tearlaments, Bystials, Dimension Shifter and soon to be Kash when they get Macro on legs.

The support didn't drop soon enough to be able to have breathing room to play.

I find it hilarious that for a bunch of people here, the only reason to play Dark World is that it had a toxic hand loop FTK, and nobody gives them any flak.

I guess that's what's referred to as double standards.

People only seeing value in things that are "good" is normal. What flak should they receive for only wanting to play the most overpowered things?

Then you completely missed the point of the comment.

So far, people gave flak to almost everyone who plays anything good, regardless of reason, hell, I was told a few times by people on the forum that the reason why I play Tearlaments isn't because they are cute waifus, but because I'm a meta slave that only cares about winning. Salad also had similar reactions, despite him being a guy that plays mill focused decks for forever.

But on this thread, people outright state that they'd only play that deck if it was able to do it's toxic stuff, and nobody has an issue with it.

[skill issue]

deck needs like 13 URs without counting the staples, that's why

I did indeed miss that point. I didn't even consider that context when I read your comment. Maybe you should have just outright stated that they do this instead of making people guess through implications.

Also people don't care about hypotheticals as much. Its not beating them in ranked after all. It might not even BE meta. "toxic" doesn't just mean meta after all. FTKs are toxic but aren't Meta and thus while crossover exists people don't all hate on it at the same time as hating on Meta. Its like how the Meta haters tend to love stun decks. Anti Meta they call it. Its not about what decks are the least fun or anything, its about what annoys them.
