Pay 1000 Life Points. The effects of all face-up Effect Monsters are negated.

It's use has died down, yet it's use is the equivalent of royal oppression this meta. Discuss.

Thus the reason I dislike it. Make a deck centered around that, and DW is still going rampage.

Good point =(. You could always side for that. Don't expect to win game 1 versus them.

My disdain for new decks is oddly enough making me appreciate dark world.

The problem with this is Tour Guide is actually vital to the Dark World deck/part of the engine itself.

Dark World can't really play that many defensive cards because the deck runs off itself and using loads of tech or whatever slows it down tremendously. It's a completely linear deck, and there is no way to effectively change that.

With Skill Drain in general, I've always felt almost nothing can support using it. It's a good card, but you can't be reliant off it, and on top of that it can't hurt your deck's synergy. The focus has to be elsewhere, and Drain can't conflict with that focus.

There is almost nothing that doesn't suck that meets both of those qualifications.
etc's trading section sucks but i trade on this other forum that doesn't suck and you can use money so go there and trade with me

Dark World is sorta good, but they all wear a trollface with Skill Drain on.
