The Dark world deck focuses on discarding Dark World monsters form your hand in order to activate their effects. These effects include special summoning them, drawing cards, and even destroying cards on the field. These effects only activate when discarded by an effect, not a cost. So cards like Lightning Vortex won't trigger Dark World effects.
What makes Dark World so strong is that they are capable of swarming the field while destroying your opponents field. The deck's main boss monster, "Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World", is able to continuously special summon itself from the graveyard. All you need to do is send a Dark world monster from the field to your hand. This means you will always have a powerful front-line, provided that you have monsters to send to your hand.
The other Dark world monsters are also powerful themselves. Beige, Goldd, and Silva get special summoned whenever they're discarded from your hand. This makes it easy to flood the field and also allows for easy Grapha summons. Broww let's you draw cards, giving you a hand advantage, and Snoww allows you to search your deck for a Dark World card.
If you ever want to make use of some powerful synchro monsters, then Fabled Raven is what you want. Its effect allows you to discard you Dark World cards and Raven gets stronger in the process! So even if you don't use Raven to synchro, he will still be crazy powerful on his own.
You can also use Appropriate and Forced requisition to create an ridiculous hand advantage. Whenever you use Dark World Dealings, you're essentially drawing 3 cards and your opponent is discarding 2 cards XD
Another powerful card for the deck is Skill Drain. Since Dark world cards use their effects in the graveyard and not the field, Skill Drain won't do anything to you! This allows you to counter a lot of the common meta decks since they won't be able to use their effects. Just remember that Fabled Raven and a lot of synchros won't be able to use their effects either, so be careful when you use it.
Does your opponent's backrow scare you? No worries, just stack your deck with some Eradicator Epidemic Viruses and you'll be fine. You can use Grapha as a tribute and then bring him right back! You can also use Deck Devastation virus to completely eat away at your opponents cards. And since the viruses let's you see their hand, you can then use Mind Crush to pick off and powerful cards that they may still have. Even if you guess wrong, you'll be forced to discard, allowing you to activate even more effects!
This deck also has it's weaknesses. Any deck that relies on banishing completely destroys Dark World. Dimensional fissure, Macro Cosmos etc.. prevents you from doing anything at all since you are unable to discard to the graveyard. Thus, it's a good idea to carry around a Heavy Storm and a few Mystical Space Typhoons. Cards that prevent special summoning will also prove to be an issue, although Skill Drain could prevent this somewhat. Just remember to keep your side deck stocked with cards that target your opponent's backrow and you'll be fine. Also remember to carry around staples with you. Some good staple cards include Mirror Force and Dark Hole. Even though they won't be that useful, they can be powerful against certain decks (Example: Mirror force against Six Samurais).
Just like with every other Yugioh deck, using Dark World well requires you to know what you can and cannot do. Don't do any stupid plays and take advantage of your side deck. Even if you lose one duel, you can win the next one as long as your side deck is good.
