There are a few main concepts for '''Zombie Deck'''. One focuses on [[swarm]]ing the [[Playing Field|field]] with [[Zombie]]s, usually from the [[Graveyard]]. Other Zombie Decks, however, focus on [[mill]]ing your opponent's [[Main Deck|Deck]] out. Star cards commonly used in these decks include "[[Il Blud]]", "[[Mezuki]]", "[[Goblin Zombie]]", "[[Plaguespreader Zombie]]", "[[Pyramid Turtle]]", "[[Kasha]]", "[[Spirit Reaper]] and ", "[[Zombie Master]]", "[[Uni-Zombie]]" and "[[Shiranui Solitaire]]".

The Zombie Burn Deck can be played different ways. Combinations such as "[[Malevolent Mech - Goku En]]" or "[[Zombie Mammoth]]" with "[[Vengeful Servant]]" and "[[Creature Swap]]" are effective ways to do massive amounts of damage easily, but cards that reverse any damage taken like "[[Prime Material Dragon]]" and "[[Rainbow Life]]" or cards that negate the activation of [[Trap]] or [[Spell Cards]] like "[[Dark Bribe]]", "[[Solemn Judgment]]" etc, can stop these effects all too easily. In addition, if you are facing another Zombie Deck or a Deck with Zombies in it, the strategy won't work. Another Zombie Burn strategy involves inflicting damage when "[[Burning Skull Head]]" is Special Summoned from the hand with the effect of "[[Skull Flame]]" and "[[Skull Conductor]]", coupled with "[[Everliving Underworld Cannon]]" and "[[Dark Room of Nightmare]]" for additional damage. They might not do as much damage in a single hit, but they are more effective because there are fewer card effects to stop the combination, and "Skull Flame" is easily summoned using "[[Call of the Mummy]]" or "Pyramid Turtle", with the added advantage of having 2600 ATK. "[[Shutendoji]]" and "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]" can help to bring back a banished "Skull Flame" and "Burning Skull Head". "[[Supersonic Skull Flame]]" can also unleash additional damage simply by having "Burning Skull Head"s in your Graveyard, and searchers such as "Goblin Zombie" could be used to add "Burning Skull Head" to your hand.

==Zombie World Deck(Pre-SR07)==Also known as The Army Of Darkness, this Deck type, as the name suggests, is based around the [[Field Spell]], "[[Zombie World]]". This Deck is very versatile, as almost any of the Zombie staples can be splashed in. This Deck can be brutally effective against many other Decks, as "Zombie World", as well as changing all your opponents monsters on the field and in the Graveyard into Zombies, also stops your opponent from Tribute Summoning anything other than a Zombie monster. This negatively affects many commonly used Decks, such as [[Bujin]], [[Plant]]s, and [[Brotherhood of the Fire Fist]]. Many cards are designed specifically to work with the Field Spell, such as "[[Doomkaiser Dragon]]" or "[[Trap of the Imperial Tomb]]" or even "[[Sacred Crane]]" or "[[Molten Zombie]]" for draw power. Other cards have indirect merit, such as "[[Getsu Fuhma]]", "[[Marionette Mite]]", or even "[[Tutan Mask]]" when used on your opponents to stop pesky Spells or Traps. Another good card to try is "[[Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons]]", using "[[Plaguespreader Zombie]]" you can go into any level 6 Synchro monster, then bring Plaguespreader back using its effect, then Synchro Summon again for "Beelze". This Deck has many Zombie staples such as "Pyramid Turtle", "Zombie Master", "Goblin Zombie", or "Plaguespreader Zombie" if you want to [[Synchro Summon]]. The key player in this Deck is without a doubt "Il Blud". "[[Kasha]]" can also be included, but remember that monsters treated as Zombies by the effect of "Zombie World" that are returned to the Deck are not counted towards its ATK. "[[Immortal Ruler]]" can also be used to recycle "Zombie World". Another excellent card to use is "[[Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon]]", which allows you to Summon any Zombie which it destroys by battle. "[[Pyramid Turtle]]" and "[[The Black Stone of Legend]]" can be used to search "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon".

Also known as The Army Of Darkness, this Deck type, as the name suggests, is based around the [[Field Spell]], "[[Zombie WorldNight Dragolich]]". This Deck is very versatile, as almost any of the while not a Zombie staples monster, can be splashed in. This used to support the Deck can since the majority of its monsters will be brutally effective against many other Decks, as "Zombie World", as well as changing all your opponents monsters on the field and in Special Summoned from the Graveyard into Zombies, also stops your opponent from Tribute Summoning anything other than a Zombie-Type monster. This negatively affects many commonly used Decks, such as [[Disaster Dragon]], and [[Plant]]s. Many cards are designed specifically to work with if the Field Spell, such as likes of "[[Doomkaiser Dragon]]" or "[[Trap of the Imperial Tomb]]" or even "[[Sacred Crane]]" or "[[Molten Zombie]]" for draw power. These cards have very good effects, but are sometimes better to avoid, as not being used (unless they are useless without revived after being destroyed), which may not be the case for the Field Spellopponent. Other cards have indirect merit, such as "[[Getsu FuhmaCurse of Dragonfire]]", "[[Marionette Mite]]", or even "[[Tutan Mask]]" when can also be used on your opponents to stop pesky Spells or Traps. This Deck has many Zombie staples such as "Pyramid Turtle", "Zombie Master", "Goblin Zombie", or even "Plaguespreader Zombie" if you want to [[Synchro Summon]]. The key player in with this Deck is without a doubt "Il Blud". "[[Getsu Fuhma]]" can be used to not only destroy most monsters with higher ATK than your Zombies if need be. "[[Kasha]]" can also be includedopposing Field Spells, but remember that monsters treated as Zombies by the effect of "Zombie World" that are returned to the Deck are not counted towards its ATK. also Fusion Summon "[[Immortal RulerDragonecro Nethersoul Dragon]]" can also be used to recycle while "Zombie World".Another excellent card to use is "[[Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon]]", which allows you to Summon any Zombie which it destroys by battleon the field.

==Diva Zombie DeckZ-HEROes/Absolute Zombies== This Deck uses the revival effects of Zombie monsters with the effect of "[[Deep Sea Diva]]" to Special Summon other [[Sea Serpent]]s (most notably another "Deep Sea Diva") to quickly Synchro Summon. This Deck type is heavily reliant on "Mezuki" and its effect to quickly Special Summon Zombie monsters in the Graveyard, along with "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]" to recycle it.

This Deck was severely slowed by uses the Limiting of "Burial from a Different Dimension[[Destiny HERO]]" engine for extra draw power, as well as using " in [[March 2010 ListsDestiny HERO - Malicious]]" to [[Synchro Summon]] quickly. It is also known to include the "[[Deep Sea Diva|March 2010Diva Engine]]", as they work with "[[Miracle Fusion]]" to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero]]".

* [[Return from the Different Dimension]]}} ==Z-HEROes/Absolute Zombies== This Deck uses the "[[Destiny HERO]]" engine for extra draw power, as well as using "[[Destiny HERO - Malicious]]" to [[Synchro Summon]] quickly. It is also known to include the aforementioned "[[Deep Sea Diva|Diva Engine]]", as they work with "[[Miracle Fusion]]" to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero]]". This Deck is also less reliant on "[[Deep Sea Diva|Divas]]" for Synchro Summoning. {{Decklist|Recommended Cards|effect monsters=

==BludVise / Zombie Synchro Deck==

This Deck works by using the [[Equip Spell]] "[[Supervise]]" on "[[Il Blud]]" to Special Summon Zombies from your hand or Graveyard and use them for Synchro Summoning. It works like a [[Gigavise]] Deck but is admittedly slower. [[Shadow SpecterSpecters]] introduces "[[Natural Bone SaurusSkelesaurus]]", a Level 4 Zombie Gemini, another target for "[[Supervise]]" and also usable with "[[Gemini Spark]]".

Since this is a Zombie Deck, "Il Blud" greatly benefits from Zombie revival cards such as "[[Book of Life]]". Also, "Pyramid Turtle" can quickly Special Summon "Il Blud" from the Deck. Once the effect of "Il Blud" has been activated, simply Special Summon Zombies to swarm the field and then use [[Tuner monstersmonster]] s to [[Synchro Summon|Tune]] with them.

You can also add monsters to your hand with "Goblin Zombie" or Special Summon from the Graveyard with "Zombie Master", "Il Blud", "Mezuki" and "[[Book of Life]]". "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" is in this Deck for the purpose of being a massive [[beatstick]] and its effect will have your opponent on the edge of their seat. "Zombie World" is here for the purpose of abusing the effects of "[[Il Blud]], "Zombie Master" and "[[Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon]]" and punish your opponent with their own monsters. "[[Beast of the Pharaoh]]" can Special Summon another Zombie from your Graveyard when it's used as a Synchro Material, while also being Level 3, which helps with getting Synchro Monsters with odd Levels, like "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" or "[[Ally of Justice Catastor]]". "[[Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]]" and "[[Tragoedia]]" are here for either helping you [[Synchro Summon]] or to take your opponent out with high ATK power. "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind]]", "* [[Krebons]]" and "[[Emergency Teleport]]" are in this Deck to help with Caius the instant [[Synchro SummonShadow Monarch]], they also supplement the Deck by negating attacks and weakening the opponent's monsters. {{Decklist|Recommended Cards|monsters =* [[Gorz the Emissary of DarknessGoblin Zombie]]* [[Red-Eyes Zombie DragonGozuki]]* [[Il BludMezuki]]

This Zombie Burn Deck mainly focuses on Summoning "[[Endless Decay]]" which can be easily sent to the Graveyard by "[[Foolish Burial]]" or "[[Lavalval Chain]]" and then be Special Summoned from Graveyard by "Book of Life", "Il Blud" or even a "Mezuki" in the Graveyard. Another good method to Special Summon it directly is by using the core of this Deck, "Pyramid Turtle" to get destroyed by battle and Special Summon it from the Deck. Since "Decay" has high ATK, usually your opponent will focus on getting rid of it by card effects so be sure of having at least 2 "Pyramid of Wonders" in this Deck so it protect it from cards such as "[[Mirror Force]]" or "[[Dark Hole]]", and "[[Solemn Warning]]" for protection from monster effects. Another good addition to this Deck is "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" to protect "Decay" from being banished.

A "Vampire" Deck combines is a Mill Deck /destructive deck, and it can be very powerful thanks to "Vampire Empire" which boost the ability mill effect of Vampires to summon Level 5 and higher Zombies for Synchro/Xyz Summonsdestroy one card on the field.

A "Wight" Deck combines a self milling strategy to send multiple "Wights" ("[[Skull Servant]]", "[[King of the Skull Servants]]", "[[The Lady in Wight]]", and "[[Wightmare]]") from your hand and Deck to the Graveyard in order to power up "[[King of the Skull Servants]]". Typical milling engines can be used to run this Deck, such as the fast milling from "[[Magical Merchant]]" or the power of destroying opponents cards while milling with "Lightsworns" such as "Ryko" and "Lyla".
