Dark X or Dark Path etc. All Dark Attributed counterparts.

Aren't the DARK counterparts cool?
Dark Armed Dragon
Dark Grepher
Dark Creator
Dark Horus
Dark General Freed
Dark Nephthys 
Dark Simorgh
Dark Voltanis
Darklord Zerato
Darknight Parshath 
And I'm sure there are counterparts I'm forgetting that don't have "Dark" in their name. (I think their is a fallen fallen Warrior of Zera.)

Some of them aren't that GOOD mind you (Looking mainly at you Parshath) but we can all agree they are pretty frickin' cool. 

So let's have some DARK counterparts.
I'll be posting the original above the counterpart. I'll only put a few on here right now, but I'll add more as I think of them, or if people suggest them and I think they are decent.


Original

Honest
LV 4 LIGHT Fairy
1100/1900 

During your Main Phase: You can return this card from the field to the hand. During either player's Damage Step, when a LIGHT monster you control battles: You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard; that monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until the End Phase.

Copy

Deceit
LV 4 DARK Fiend
1900/1100 

During your Main Phase: You can return this card from the field to the hand. During either player's Damage Step, when a DARK monster you control battles: You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard; that monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until the End Phase.

Original

Archlord Kristya
LV 8 LIGHT Fairy
2800/2300

If you have exactly 4 Fairy-Type monsters in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When you do: Target 1 Fairy-Type monster in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand. Neither player can Special Summon monsters. If this face-up card would be sent from the field to the Graveyard, it returns to the top of the Deck, instead.

Copy

Darklord Kristya
LV 8 DARK Fairy
2800/2300

If you have exactly 4 DARK-Type monsters in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When you do: Target 1 DARK-Type monster in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand. You cannot summon a card with the same name as that target for the rest of this turn.

Original

Banisher of the Radiance
LV 3 LIGHT Fairy
1600/0

Any card sent to the Graveyard is banished instead.

Copy

Banisher of the Darkness
LV 3 DARK Fairy
1600/0

Any card that would be banished is sent to the Graveyard instead.

Depleted Artemis

Each time a Continuous Trap Card(s) leaves the field, immediately draw 1 card.

[Drillwarrior]

IDK if I like "depleted" but it's an interesting name.

Stats/Type? I presume it's DARK.

[Meat~Product]

Depleted just because antinym for Bountiful.

1600/1800 DARK Fiend-type

[ragda]

Deprived might sound better, but all "Dark" counterparts just read Dark X.

Anyhoo, I'd just like to say that "Deceit" (or my favourite but unoriginal variant "Dishonest") should have the same stats as Honest but is simply DARK. No Dark counterpart changes any stat beside the Attribute iirc.

Lightray is another retrained variant/archetype of counterparts.

This is actually untrue, which is why I didn't name it "Dark Honest" or suggest "Dark Artemis" 

For example, Warrior of Zera doesn't turn into "Dark Zera" or "Dark Warrior of Zera" he turns into "Mazera DeVillie"
The majority however do say "Dark X"


And for the Honest, I took more from the page of the Mill Knights (Armageddon, Bushfire, Dust, Dawn, Shore, Altitude) 


I'm tempted to make a "Darksworn" archtype which instead of milling, it banishes.


Also, added a DARK counterpart of BotR.

[ragda]

Mazera DeVille is not part of the Dark X archetype. He's just got a dark path as well as a light one (Archlord Zerato, which has a Dark X-ish counterpart anyways in Darklord Zerato).

Grepher himself has Lucius as a dark path that isn't Dark Grepher.

I would count the "Dark Path" as a "Dark Counterpart"... as it is a counterpart, that is dark attributed....

[ragda]

No, that's its own thing. There are a few characters with light and dark paths, but the pure DARK X simply has the exact same card turned to a DARK Attribute and a different but similar effect with every other stat being the same (for most of them).

Oh, and basically every DARK X card came out in the same pack and they are a counterpart to an older card. Anything else would be case by case basis to determine it's part of the DARK X archetype, but otherwise unlikely if it's not from Phantom Darkness.


These are generally accepted to be the DARK X retrained archetype:
Dark Armed Dragon
Dark Elf (debatable)
Dark General Freed
Dark Grepher
Dark Horus
Dark Nephthys
Dark Simorgh
Dark Valkyria
Dark Voltanis
Darklord Zerato
Darknight Parshath
Mad Dog of Darkness (debatable, Outstanding Dog Marron)
Rainbow Dark Dragon
The Dark Creator

Okay, well, I'll edit the name of the thread to appease you

Fine lol

*Tips hat* Happy then?

[ragda]

Seems wordy but it's more accurate.

[solidkguy]

I think only the last one adds anything new to the game. I do approve of it.

I know Dark counterparts refer to the original, but they tend not to be copies of it. I love the stats of Deceit, but it's more of a dark counterpart to Honest than a Dark Honest. I'd imagine the Dark honest to special summon something to battle in its stead and send it to the grave afterward. Something like this:

Dark Honest
LV 4 DARK Fiend
1900/1100
During your Main Phase: You can return this card from the field to the hand. During either player's Damage Step, when a DARK monster you control battles: You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard; Special summon 1 DARK monster from your graveyard; its effects are negated. The special summoned monster battles instead of your monster (it is still counted as having declared an attack if it declared the attack). Then send the special summoned monster to the graveyard; its effects that activate when it is sent to the graveyard are negated.

Last bit is worded a bit weirdly, but I find this a better Dark counterpart to Honest. I didn't use your name to distinguish them.
