"'''Vendread'''", known as "'''Vendead'''" (ヴェンデット ''Vendetto'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is an [[archetype]] of [[DARK]] [[Zombie]] [[Monster Card|monsters]]. It is one of the two formerly [[TCG-only|''TCG''-exclusiveWorld Premiere]] [[archetype]]s that debuted in ''[[Code of the Duelist]]'', the other being "[[F.A.]]". ==Lore=={{Main|Master Duel card storylines#Dark, Dead Vengeance}}

The "Vendread" monsters resemble mutated creatures and zombies, common from several horror series, in particular the ''[[wikipedia:Resident Evil|''Resident Evil]]'']] franchise, as well as a few possible nods to the ''[[wikipedia:Spawn (comics)|''Spawn]]'']] franchise and ''[[wikipedia:The Thing(1982 film)|''The Thing]]'']].

"Vendread" is a portmanteau of the words "vengeance" and "dread". The archetype's ''[[OCG]]'' name, "Vendead" (ヴェンデット ''Vendetto'Vengeance' ), is a portmanteau of "vengeance" and "undead" (アンデット ''andetto'Dread'), which is the Japanese name of the [[Zombie]] [[Type]].

The "Vendread" archetype focuses on [[Ritual Summon]]ing. So far, all non-Ritual monsters in the archetype come with two effects, each of which can only be used once per turn: the first effect revolves around the [[Special Summon]] of the monster from your [[GY]] when a certain condition is met, but comes at the cost of the monster being [[banished]] when it [[leaves the field]]. The second effects effect grants a "Vendread" [[Ritual Monster]] that was Ritual Summoned using the "Vendread" non-Ritual monster ''on the field'' a [[Quick Effect]] an effect that enables considerable field advantage. "[[Vendread ReoriginRevenants]]" is and "[[Vendread Houndhorde]]" give the Ritual Monster a rather unorthodox [[Trap CardQuick Effect]] that allows it to [[banish]] which enables not only slowing down the opponent's momentum by means other than destroying a cardcards, but also gives giving its owner several ways to respond to the player a way to generate more tribute fodderopponent's plays.

Their first and currently only [[Ritual Spell Card]], "[[Revendread Origin]]", is easily one of the most practical Ritual Spell Cards seen in recent times. It is one of only four Ritual Spell Cards which can Ritual Summon the target monster ''out of from the GY'', which makes discarding the archetype's Ritual Monsters to activate effects a viable strategy, and enables the spell Spell to act as a recovery option for the archetype's Ritual Monsters after they leave the field. In addition, the Ritual Spell allows the player to tribute Tribute monsters whose total [[Level]]s ''may'' exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster that is to be Ritual Summoned, and enables banishing ''any'' [[Zombie]] type monsters from the GY should one lack the needed monsters on the field or hand. This in turn opens a lot of possible combinations with the "[[Shiranui]]" archetype, as well as "[[Zombie World]]". Given that "Revendread Origin" has a protection effect that specifically lists and applies to only "[[Revendread Slayer]]", this card can be searched by "[[Pre-Preparation of Rites]]" which gives the deck the speed which every Ritual Summon deck needs, something that sets it apart from every other archetype-generic Ritual Spell Card that came before it.

"[[Vendread Reunion]]Revendread Slayer"can add a Ritual Spell from the Deck to the hand, although while also sending a Trap Card"Vendread" monster from the Deck to the GY, acts as another when it is sent to the GY after being Ritual Summoned. Since "Revendread Origin" can Ritual cardSummon "Slayer" back from the GY, allowing it should be ideally used as material for the summoning of banished Vendread Monsters [[Link Summon|Link]] and [[Synchro Summon]]s to get more resources before immediately tributing them in order to Ritual SummonSummoning it again later. This not only recycles banished The same can be done with "[[Vendread Monsters Battlelord]]", but allows the it adds a [[Ritual Monster to gain additional effects]] instead of a Spell.

Due to The archetype's [[Link Monster]], "[[Avendread Savior]]", can retrieve "Vendread" cards from the sheer number of generic Zombie support released through the yearsGY. Its usual targets will be their Spell Cards, as they can be immediately used. Since "VendreadSavior" makes it easy to reuse Ritual Spells, the player doesn't have access to a plethora rely on "Slayer" to get more copies of useful support cards to make up for "Revendread Origins" from the small number of their own cardsDeck, in particular and can instead add the likes of archetype's second Ritual Spell, "[[Book of LifeRevendread Evolution]]". While it cannot be searched by "Pre-Preparation of Rites", "[[Gozuki]]Evolution" and can use up to 1 "[[Shutendoji]]Vendread" which tremendously benefit monster from the Deck for the Ritual Summon, at the archetype in terms cost of resource management requiring total Levels that exactly equal the Ritual Monster's. By using "Revendread Slayer", the player can send "Vendread Battlelord" to the GY and recycling tribute fodder for their next add "Evolution", which can be instantly be activated to Ritual Summonthe "Battlelord" from the GY by using a second one from the Deck.
