Introduction
Zombie is a type of monsters that represents.....mainly zombies.This type has a great swarm and search power.This type has many versions, Zombie Xyz, Zombie Synchro, ZombieDAD (although this won't be included).This type mainly consists of DARK and EARTH monsters.


 * Consistency:8/10 Zombies have a very good search power with goblin zombie while alsobeing able to make plays from the no where with Plaguespreader Zombie, Mezuki and Book of Life.
 * Risk:3/10:Zombies are not very risky as they can somehow recover from a mass destruction effect and alsobeing able to use combos to get around huge monsters.
 * Draw/Search Power:6/10 They have their own sangan, Goblin Zombie.They have their Draw engine, Shutendoji.Some decks also use Allure of Darkness for more draw power.
 * Power:8.5/10:they have very good beaters but once they are in mid/late game when boss monsters appear, if they didn't get their bosses, they might have a little bit of trouble, but they can recover anyway.
 * Meta Ranking:0.5-3.5/10

=Monsters=
 * Zombie Master: A very important part of any zombie deck,by discarding a monster you can special summon a zombie from the graveyard.Note that it can summon the monster you discard.The discarded Card can be Mezuki.
 * Mezuki:Its limited for a reason.This card totally makes zombies broken.by banishing itself from the graveyard it revives a zombie. This card is awesome because it works without any need of hand, its a +1 that can happen at any time.
 * Goblin Zombie: The Witch of the Black Forest But for zombies.Can search almost anything in the deck. due to the revival power of zombies, this eliminates the need of sangan due to how easily it can be reused and the mmuch better monsters it can search.
 * Pyramid Turtle: Can search even more stuff than Goblin Zombie but it needs to be destroyed by battle and instead of grabbing the zombie to hand it summons it to the field directly.A very useful Searcher in almost all Zombie decks Except for Chaos Zombies and ZombieDAD (because it's EARTH).
 * Plaguespreader Zombie: A universal tuner.you can use the zombie cards to revive it multiple times before using its effect.
 * Beast of the Pharaoh:Only useful in zombie synchro.but it is very good when used there. It is also a target for Debris Dragon.
 * Blue-Blooded Oni: Only useful in Xyz zombie but can be a decent option. if you will run him, run only 2 because the effect is not guaranteed.
 * Pain Painter:A great tuner to summon the best zombie synchro Archfiend Zombie-Skull. Also, that thing has uses outside of synchro summoning-it can be used to make rank 2 Xyz. but because of the synchro restriction, run only 2.
 * Shutendoji:a decent option to draw more cards and recycle zombies and control your draws.
 * Il Blud:Some decks only use this as a beatstick because with the speed of the game these days gemini monsters won't stay on the field for long time.
 * Paladin of the Cursed Dragon: Only good in Zombie World Zombie decks.

=Spells=
 * Book of Life:A staple in Zombie decks. you can get a zombie then banish a good card in your opponent's graveyard.
 * Zombie World:This card is used as a core of the Zombie World Zombies, as it turnes all monsters in your opponent's graveyard into zombies making you able to take control of them by using ill blud, Doomkaiser Dragon,....etc
 * Call of the Mummy:Not a very good Zombie support card although its not bad.

=Traps=
 * Zombies have no decent trap support.

=Synchros=
 * Archfiend Zombie-Skull:A good zombie synchro but kinda hard to get out since it requiures 2 non tuners.However, with the release of Pain Painter this is kinda easier now.
 * Revived King Ha Des:A decent synchro, stopping many commonly used monsters.
 * Doomkaiser Dragon:Only good in Zombie World Decks.
