Zombies, the up-and-comers-Crzydrvr

Hey guys! I'm back with another article, this time related to Zombies.
That's right, this article is all about the dudes who eat people's
brains. First off I'd like to look at a popular Zombie card, namely
Zombie Master:

Zombie Master
LV4/DARK/ATK: 1800/DEF: 0
[Zombie/Effect]
Once per turn, you can send 1 Monster Card from your hand to your
Graveyard to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Zombie-Type Monster
from either player's Graveyard.
Traditional: 2 stars/5
Advanced: 4 stars/5

This card is half of the duo of cards that brought Zombies back into
playability. Its effect speaks for itself, after all, who doesn't like
special summoning? In my opinion, it's a weaker version of Il Blud
that's simply quicker. Discarding a monster can be good when used the
right way, but 0 DEF sucks, with all the Enemy Controllers running
amok. But it's still a viable card in every Zombie deck.

Now some of you may be wondering why I'm doing an all-zombie article
today. I'm writing this article because Zombies in terms of power have
shot over the roof the past few months. They're viable contenders for
SJCs and Nationals, all cuz of 2 cards. Il Blud and Zombie Master have
single-handedly brought respect to a type that was long
ignored/considered weak. With that comes popularity. Zombies have
completely shot through the roof in terms of popularity, and much more
players are taking control of Zombie decks. In the near future expect
a few new deck-types to emerge countering the Zombies. But for now,
it's their turn in the spotlight.

Now that that's done, I have a deck to show you guys based on both
Zombie Master and Il Blud:

Zombie Chaos x41

Monsters x20
x3 Il Blud
x3 Zombie Master
x3 Pyramid Turtle
x3 Goblin Zombie
x3 Plague Wolf
x2 Caius the Shadow Monarch
x2 Spirit Reaper
x1 Mask of Darkness

Spells x13
x2 Book of Life
x2 Enemy Controller
x2 Lightning Vortex
x2 Allure of Darkness
x1 Monster Reborn
x1 Heavy Storm
x1 Smashing Ground
x1 Hammer Shot
x1 Pot of Avarice

Traps x8
x1 Mirror Force
x1 Negate Attack
x1 Magic Cylinder
x3 Good Goblin Housekeeping
x2 Dust Tornado

The whole deck is based upon revival. Il Blud, Zombie Master and Book
of Life all revive the likes of Spirit Reaper, Plague Wolf and
themselves. Goblin Zombie searches Il Blud, Zombie Master, and Spirit
Reaper. The Caius' are added to bring a little more ATK to the deck
since it's pretty weak ATK-wise while adding it's killer effect. The
GGHs' are to help speed up the deck and draw speed. Overall, it's a
pretty strong Zombie deck that actually might have a fighting chance
at any major tournaments such as regionals.

That's all for now! Don't forget to cast your vote for your favorite
card in my contest.
The awards for the contest are:
-MVC(Most valuable card)(best overall)
-Cartoonists' Choice Card(best picture)
-Iggy's Choice Card(Best Effect)
-Gamers' Choice(most underrated)
-Duelist's Choice Card(Best Deck Basis)
-Otakus' Choice(best from the anime)
-Best Fusion/Ritual
-Best Clutch(best when it really matters)
-Fan's Choice(fan favorite)

If you're sending in your votes, make sure you have the nominees and
why you chose them to win the award they're nominated for and that you
have "Card Awards 2008" as your subject line. You can nominate a card
for more than 1 award. All cards chosen must be in compliancy with the
Limited Lists. That means no Forbidden cards will be allowed to win/be
nominated. I will be checking the Limited lists to make sure that it
ISN'T Forbidden. The deadline is July 31st. I will also be accepting
deck fixes. Feel free to send your deck list to me for editing. There
will be some cases where I cannot help you, but those are few and far
between. My email is
crzydrvr1995@gmail.com. That's right, I've finally got my new email set up! And right after my 10th article extravaganza too! Look for my next article, I'll be bringing some spoilers of recent boosters. See ya later! Go
Flames Go!
