Zombie Deck

There are a few main concepts for a Zombie Deck. One focuses on Pyramid Turtle and Book of Life, another may focus on the recursion of Vampire Lord, and the other may feature Call of the Mummy coupled with Despair from the Dark.

A deck that focuses on Vampire Lord and possibly Vampire Lady is known as a vampire deck. Vampire decks have great potential for deck destruction, what with the inclusion of such cards as Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower. Pairing it with such cards as Pyramid Turtle and Spirit Reaper, or even a copy of itself, can make it more effective. It is possible to throw in Robbin' Zombie, Gravekeeper's Servant, and Malice Ascendant for extra deck destruction possibilities.

Zombie decks may also rely on powerful zombies that are special summoned from the hand or the graveyard, as mentioned above. While this theme can be featured in a vampire deck, an over elaborate vampire theme has the potential to slow this deck down. However, Vampire Genesis is the strongest zombie in the game, so Vampire Lord isn't a bad card in this kind of raw power deck.
