[YGO] Chaos Zombie (New Banlist)

[Captain Fabio]

Ok, so it hasn't been long since I have returned to YGO fully, so excuse my stupidity if I have missed something obvious.

So this is my Chaos Zombie deck that I am still editing around really. The two decks I love are Sworn and Zombie, so now BLS is back, Twilight is back on my list, I know, how original of me.

x3 Goblin Zombie
x2 Zombie Master

I would not run Avarice in this build as you are intending to remove graveyard targets for the chaos monsters. You have too many monsters in my opinion as well. Need to trim it down a bit. Take out a Ryko, Lyla and Lumina. I want to see Mezuki and Burial from a Different Dimension in here. I do not like Mirror Force this format to be honest. Trap Dustshoot is very good this format and Mind Crush is decent too. At the very least, replace Mirror Force with Dustshoot. Alternatively, Call of the Haunted is very good in this deck as you can chain it to MST and search with Sangan / Goblin Zombie. It would also be beneficial if you got your hands on another Tourguide but I can certainly understand the difficulty in obtaining such a card. Finally if you have space, add in an extra Effect Veiler. I still think you're a bit too monster heavy though, but I can't find much else to cut for now.

 

[Captain Fabio]

Ok, well I have edited the deck and I am up to 44 which is a pretty large deck. However, I can't find anything to really cut down on...

:::EDIT:::
I guess Charge of the Light Brigade could come out since there are only 3 sworns.​

​

 

[Overlord Drakow]

Oh geez I didn't even look at the total deck count. Need to cut this to 40. Take out one Book of Life, one Zombie Master, one Glow Up Bulb and one Spirit Reaper. With three Goblin Zombies, having loads of different zombie techs isn't too bad as they are easily accessible. With a decrease in zombies now, one Book of Life should be sufficient. I think COTH is better than Book of Life though - you can revive a wider variety of targets and it baits enemy MSTs. Charge with 3 targets should be fine. I only removed Glow Up bulb due to space restrictions and I couldn't think of anything else to cut at the time of making this post.

 

[Captain Fabio]

I would like to keep GUB since that is the only way to really get out big daddy, Trishula. Though, Pain Painter could be used as well but still.
Got it down to 40 now, so how does that look?

Also, I feel like I should include Tragoedia in this format, since it is so useful...​

​

 

[Overlord Drakow]

Looks solid now. As for Trag - it would be more effective in a pure zombie deck I think. It could certainly work well in here but you are tight on space as it is, so I wouldn't bother with it.

 

[Captain Fabio]

Mhmm, I think 3 TG's would be overkill thinking about it, both on the deck and my wallet.

Anything else? I think I might test this deck on DN.​

​

 

[Overlord Drakow]

Most decks run triple Tour Guide for easier accessibility but it also means that when you summon the second Tour Guide, you can search out your final copy to make another Exceed summoning.

I have nothing else to add - pay particular attention to the trap line up through your testing as I imagine it may need to be tweaked a bit based on how your testing goes.

 

[Captain Fabio]

Ok, so after some testing I found that PoD was too slow and hindered me more than anything, so.

- x2 PoD
+ x1 Zombie Master
+ x1 Tour Guide
+ x1 Monster Reincarnation​

[Overlord Drakow]

I did say to remove PoA in the first post ¬_____¬

I am not sold on Monster Reincarnation to be honest. I think you could be running something better in that card slot. I can definitely see the use of the card and everything but I do think after all is said and done, it's a fairly medicore choice. I would run a second COTH over it.

Gold Sarcophagus could be a strong pick in this deck. You can use it to remove a level four or lower monster and immediately summon it to the field with Leviair Dragon. It also combos with Burial from the Different Dimension in a pinch too.

 

[Captain Fabio]

Sorry, I meant Pot of Duality, no idea why I thought PoA; didn't even have it in in the first place I don't think... or didn't intend too.

Anyway, MR was for incase I dropped BLS due to an effect so I could recover him. Granted, the deck is built around him, but you don't want to see him being dropped to the GY because of a Ryko effect. I might run a second, but I will test this out and see how it goes, it might be a mediocre choice, but it has helped me so far; all about the testing. thankyouDuelingNetwork.

For GS, I always thought it was just a little slow and is pretty conditional for the deck I have, since most things will work on their own. Again, I will test it, but not sure how well it will go!​
