SDZW-EN037
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Magical Arm Shield
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent declares an attack while you control a monster. Take control of 1 of your opponent's face-up monsters, except the attacking monster, until the end of the Battle Phase. It is attacked instead.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Use one of your opponent's monsters against them, or pick a monster with equal attack with the attacking monster and destroy 2 of your opponent's monsters!
SDZW-EN036
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Waboku
Normal Trap
You take no Battle Damage this turn. Your monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: Keep your monsters on the field and your LPs safe for a turn!
SDZW-EN035
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Tutan Mask
Counter Trap
Negate the activation and the effect of a Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 face-up Zombie-Type monster and destroy it.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I'd suggest not using this card outside Zombie decks for very obvious reasons.
SDZW-EN034
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Bottomless Trap Hole
Normal Trap
When your opponent Summons a monster(s) with 1500 or more ATK, destroy and remove from play the monster(s).
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Since most playable monsters in the game have at least 1500 ATK, this card has high chances of taking a monster out of play!
SDZW-EN033
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Dust Tornado
Normal Trap
Destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls. You can then Set 1 Spell or Trap Card from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Not a bad card but in most cases, MST is better.
SDZW-EN032
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Imperial Iron Wall
Continuous Trap
Cards cannot be removed from play.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: This bad boy stops Bottomless (which ironically is in this deck), and just about any card that removes cards from play but also hurts those that benefit from cards removed from play.
SDZW-EN031
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Card Destruction
Normal Spell
Each player discards their hand and draws the same number of cards they discarded.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Have a bad hand? Know your opponent has a good one? Change all that with this card!
SDZW-EN030
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Ribbon of Rebirth
Equip Spell
If the equipped monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon it to your side of the field during the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Perhaps I overestimated this card. It seems like a good card but in contrast is pretty well a dead draw unless you have a monster to equip it with and it only works once, unless you bring this card back to your hand.
SDZW-EN029
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Soul Taker
Normal Spell
Destroy 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Then, your opponent gains 1000 Life Points.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It lets you destroy a face up monster your opponent has but then your opponent gets extra LPs and giving your opponent anything is almost always a bad thing.
SDZW-EN028
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Field Barrier
Continuous Spell
Field Spell Cards cannot be destroyed. Also, a new Field Spell Card cannot be activated. You can only control 1 face-up "Field Barrier".
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Keep your Field Spell safe from harm and continue to let it dominate your opponent!
SDZW-EN027
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Shrink
Quick-Play Spell
Select 1 face-up monster on the field. The original ATK of that monster is halved until the end of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: Convert just about any monster into a wannabe weakling, then destroy it for big damage!
SDZW-EN026
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Pot of Avarice
Normal Spell
Select 5 Monster Cards in your Graveyard. Return those cards to the Deck, then draw 2 cards.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Getting 5 monsters in your Graveyard isn't too difficult with Lightsworn or Synchro monsters running around!
SDZW-EN025
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Terraforming
Normal Spell
Add 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Quickly search out the deadly Zombie World from this deck or another powerful Field Spell Card!
SDZW-EN024
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Call of the Mummy
Continuous Spell
Once per turn, if you control no monsters, you can Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Draw this card when you have no monsters out and nothing but high-level Zombies in your hand, and you can bring out a strong Zombie monster like Despair from the Dark or Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon!
SDZW-EN023
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Book of Life
Normal Spell
Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from your Graveyard and remove from play 1 monster from your opponent's Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: What more could you want? You bring back any Zombie in your Grave without any restriction and take out any monster from your opponent's Graveyard!
SDZW-EN022
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Creature Swap
Normal Spell
Each player selects 1 monster they control and switches control of those monsters with each other. Those monsters cannot change their battle positions for the rest of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: When you get right down to it, this card is pretty situational. It does allow you to take a strong monster and give your opponent a weaker monster but that's if your opponent only has a strong monster out.
SDZW-EN021
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Card of Safe Return
Continuous Spell
When a monster is Special Summoned to the field from your Graveyard, you can draw 1 card.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: The best part about this card is that a monster just has to be Special Summoned from your Graveyard, which can be done from either player! This card is what makes Manticore of Darkness broken!
SDZW-EN020
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Magical Stone Excavation
Normal Spell
Discard 2 cards. Add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Retrieve your Zombie World card that you lost or pick up another decent Spell Card!
SDZW-EN019
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Cold Wave
Normal Spell
This card can only be activated at the start of your Main Phase 1. Until your next turn, you and your opponent cannot play or Set any Spell or Trap Cards.
COMON
Rating: 1
Comments: In general, the only good thing about this card is that it doesn't stay on the field! Use Heavy Storm instead as you can just remove any surprises your opponent has.
SDZW-EN018
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Spell Shattering Arrow
Quick-Play Spell
Destroy all face-up Spell Cards your opponent controls. For each destroyed Spell Card, inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Most likely your best bet is to use this against Crystal Beast decks since it's very unlikely that your opponent will control enough face up Spell Cards to deal decent damage to your opponent.
SDZW-EN017
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Zombie World
Field Spell
All monsters on the field and in any Graveyard become Zombie-Type monsters. Neither player can Tribute Summon monsters, except Zombie-Type monsters.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: It's name states all. Nothing but Zombies can be on the field! What hurts this card is that it blocks your high-level non-Zombie monsters from hitting the field as well.
SDZW-EN016*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Zombie Master
DARK / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 0
Once per turn, you can send 1 Monster Card from your hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Zombie-Type Monster from either player's Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Well his rating stops at 3 for that 0 DEF and being unable to discard any card for the Level 4 Zombie-Type monster. His 1800 ATK balances his rating to 3/5.
SDZW-EN015
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Plague Wolf
DARK / Zombie / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
Once per turn, you can change this card's ATK to twice its original ATK. If you do, destroy it during the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Alright, UDE, what was your brain thinking when you stuck this card in? Clearly it wasn't thinking at all! This card is terrible overall.
SDZW-EN014
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Marionette Mite
DARK / Insect / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
You can discard this card to the Graveyard to take control of 1 face-up Fiend or Zombie-Type monster your opponent controls until the End Phase this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: If anything, he'll be dropped into the Grave to let you steal that monster you need to help you summon REZD. That's all you should use this for.
SDZW-EN013
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Des Lacooda
EARTH / Zombie / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 600
Once per turn, you can flip this card into face-down Defense Position. When this card is Flip Summoned, draw 1 card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: In order for this guy to help you, you'll need to help it stay on the field!
SDZW-EN012*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Regenerating Mummy
DARK / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1500
When this card is sent from your hand to the Graveyard by an opponent's card effect, return it to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: At least if your opponent uses Card Destruction or something, he comes right back to your hand. He also has the decent 1800 ATK for a Level 4 monster!
SDZW-EN011
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Ryu Kokki
DARK / Zombie / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 2000
If this card battles a Warrior or Spellcaster-Type monster, destroy that monster at the end of the Damage Step.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: Even if you don't want to bother with his effect, he's still a nice 2400 ATK Level 6 monster!
SDZW-EN010
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Getsu Fuhma
DARK / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1200
If this card battles a Fiend or Zombie-Type monster, destroy that monster at the end of the Damage Step.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: His ATK falls just short of getting 3 stars but I have managed to luckily win with him once. He doesn't have much going for him and should only be run in Zombie decks if anywhere.
SDZW-EN009
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Spirit Reaper
DARK / Zombie / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 200
This card cannot be destroyed by battle. Destroy this card when it is targeted by the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster. If this card successfully attacks directly, your opponent randomly discards 1 card.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: Never fear, the reaper is here...to defend your LPs that is! Virtually no monster can take him out and only cards that target him will be successful in getting rid of him!
SDZW-EN008
Card Type: Normal Monster
Card Info Master Kyonshee
EARTH / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1750 / DEF 1000
A wandering Kyonshee searching for a strong rival to defeat. They say he was known as the master of all martial arts.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: His ATK falls just short of getting 3 stars but I have managed to luckily win with him once. He doesn't have much going for him and should only be run in Zombie decks if anywhere.
SDZW-EN007*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Pyramid Turtle
EARTH / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1400
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster with 2000 or less DEF from your Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: A perfect card for any Zombie deck! He can search out the big guys like Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon or Ryu-Kokki and bring them out without tributes! Plus it's very easy to destroy him in battle!
SDZW-EN006
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Royal Keeper
EARTH / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1700
Once per turn, you can flip this card into face-down Defense Position. When this card is flipped face-up, it gains 300 ATK and DEF until the end of the turn. (If attacked, this effect resolves after damage calculation.)
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even if he does get the +300 ATK and DEF, he doesn't keep it and he's easily susceptible to Bottomless and regular Trap Hole.
SDZW-EN005
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Patrician of Darkness
DARK / Zombie / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1400
The controller of this card selects the targets of their opponent's attacks.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: His ATK isn't very high but his effect can save your weaker monsters and perhaps take an opponent's monster out if this guy gets attacked.
SDZW-EN004
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Gernia
DARK / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1300 / DEF 1200
If this face-up card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard by an opponent's card effect, Special Summon it during your next Standby Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I give him 2 stars because if he dies by an opponent's effect, he comes back during your next Standby Phase but that's the only reason he gets 2 stars.
SDZW-EN003
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Paladin of the Cursed Dragon
LIGHT / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1200
Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Zombie-Type monster that was destroyed by battle from your opponent's Graveyard to your side of the field.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: A powerful Level 4 monster with the ability to steal the Zombies it destroys in battle from your opponent with no drawback at all!
SDZW-EN002
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Malevolent Mech - Goku En
LIGHT / Zombie / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1400
You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. If you do, this card is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase if it is the only Zombie-Type monster on the field. When it is sent to the Graveyard by this effect, you take damage equal to its ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Why is this guy's rating short two stars for having 2400 ATK on a Level 6 monster? His effects, that's why! Since you can at least Tribute Summon him, he retains 2 stars.
SDZW-EN001
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon
DARK / Zombie / Level 7 / ATK 2400 / DEF 2000
You can Tribute Summon this card in face-up Attack Position by Tributing 1 Zombie-Type monster. When this card destroys a Zombie-Type monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon that monster to your side of the field.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: What makes this relative of REBD worthy of 3 stars? He requires only 1 tribute if the tribute is a Zombie, and Pyramid Turtle can bring him out! However, his level prevents a higher rating for him.
