IMO, 3 The Cheerful Coffin is 2 too many. And Scarr is too slow as well, but thats just me. And well, while a 2-1 is sexy, 3 The Forces of Darkness is 1 too many.

-2 The Cheerful Coffin
-3 Scarr, Scout of Dark World
-1 The Forces of Darkness
+2 Brron, Mad King of Dark World
+1 Breaker the Magical Warrior/Cyber Jar
+1 Card of Safe Return
+1 Heavy Storm
+1 Bottomless Trap Hole

It seems like often when I activate Dark World Lightning on a S/T it often just gets chained. I'm toying with the idea of playing a couple of Swords of Concealing Light in conjunction with Dark World Lightning....has anyone tried the combination yet or do you just figure it to be poor hand management?

I put in 3 Cheerful Coffins as they allowed me to target monsters rather than my other cards such as spells and traps. Discarding randomly from your hand means there is a risk you won't be discarding a Dark World Monster. It's also why I have put Brron to 1 as there is a great risk of discarding important cards. Cyber Jar was a card I had considered, but for this deck where I am working on discarding from the hand, it won't be helping me much as it could be summoning the Dark World monsters to the field and I want them in my hand, hence the reason for 3 The Forces of Darkness as well.

I had tried Swords of Concealing Light in a previous deck, it seemed to work well with Dark World Lightning. It helped me to wipe out quite a few montsters. The only thing I am a little insecure about is the discard randomly from your hand. Thats why I have reduced those in my deck, I prefer to get them late game when I can be returning Dark World monsters back to my hand.

Mazera, you misread Brron. You CHOOSE and discard 1 card. You go ahead and discard Goldd/Sillva of your own volition, because Brron is selective. I like The Cheerful Coffin in there, but 3 copies is dead weight. 2 at max, but I'd still only use 1. But it's your deck, i'm just speaking from playtesting experience. And with 3 Goldds and 3 Sillvas, you'll likely land 1-2 off of Cyber Jar. And also, you need to refresh your hand, who cares if you give your opponent 5 cards as well? Dark World decks needs resources, period.

Oh, I must be dyslexic, I can't seem to understand these effects of these cards at all or any others. Back to the drawing board.

Now this I like. I like the idea of Gilfer in here. Let's see now...
-3 Scarr (yes, he is too slow)
-1 Coffin (2 is good)
-1 Beiige
-1 Broww
-2 Forces of Darkness
+2 Brron
+1 Gilfer
+1 Cyber Jar
+1 Dark World Lightning
+1 Call of the Haunted
+1 Premature Burial

Incidentally, how is Mind Crush working for you? I had it in my Dark World side deck and never swapped it in, so I'm curious if maybe I should have.

poor hand management and the fact that, if the card your targeting gets chained to then you dont have to discard.

its a +1+1 on you because you dont lose advantage and you force the opponent to activate a card.
