Xyz + Zombies = Epicnesh


Zeal Ascendant

Recommended Posts

Hello! This here is the grave archetype, which is basically a zombie archetype that focus on bringing out powerful Xyz monsters and abusing their detachment related effects. I tried to make them compatible with other zombies too, for extra support. They are all earth attribute, and technically compatible with Grave Squirmer. Here they are:

Monsters:


Grave Maggot
*
Insect/Effect
Once per turn, if this card is in the graveyard, you can pay 500 life points to attach this card to a face up Zombie type Xyz monster you control.
Atk/200 Def/100


Grave Warrior
****
Zombie
This soulless zombie warrior will fight on until it is torn apart. It cannot feel pain.
Atk/1800 Def/500

Grave Tombstone
***
Rock/Effect
All “Grave” monsters gain 200 defense. You can tribute this monster to special summon a Zombie type Xyz monster from your graveyard. Its attack is halved.
Atk/600 Def/1600


Grave Golem
*****
Zombie/Effect
When this card is normal summoned, destroy it. If this card is being treated as Xyz material, that Xyz monster gains 300 attack and defense. When this card is detached from a Zombie type Xyz monster, special summon it to your side of the field.
Atk/2200 Def/2100

Grave Assassin
****
Zombie/Effect
Once per turn, if this card is in the graveyard or on your side of the field, you can attach it to an Xyz monster your opponent controls. If this card is detached from your opponent’s Xyz monster, destroy that Xyz monster.
Atk/1500 Def/1200

Grave Soul
***
Zombie/Effect
Once per turn, if this card would be detached from a Zombie type Xyz monster you control, it is not. This effect can only be used 3 times. After you've used this card's effect 3 times, when it is removed from the field, banish it.
Atk/1100 Def/900

Grave Arms
**
Zombie/Effect
This card cannot be used for a tribute summon or as a synchro material monster. If you control a non-Xyz “Grave” monster, you can special summon this card from the graveyard. If this card is special summoned by this effect, you can increase its level by 1 or 2. This card can only be used as Xyz material for a “grave” monster. If this card is used as Xyz material for the summon of a “Grave” monster, send this card to the bottom of your deck.

Konami must make a good zombie Xyz (even better, a numbers) for Order of Chaos or the set after. Need it for fanfic deck, and for Blue Blooded Oni to really use. Go on Konami, please.

Atk/200 Def/100

[b]Infinite effect ammo for (thankfully only) zombies. Probably should be a cost, like if the only monster you control is a Xyz Zombie is something.[/b]

Grave Warrior
****
Zombie
This soulless zombie warrior will fight on until it is torn apart. It cannot feel pain.
Atk/1800 Def/500

[b]Nothing wrong with the odd vanilla beatstick. Level 3 would have been better for Tri-Wight Zone though, even if ATK had to go down.[/b]

Grave Tombstone
***
Rock/Effect
All “Grave” monsters gain 200 defense. You can tribute this monster to special summon a Zombie type Xyz monster from your graveyard. Its effect is negated and its attack is halved.
Atk/600 Def/1600

[b]Hmm, can't see the benefit to summoning an Xyz monster with this. Unless as a wall. Maybe the upcoming support will make more sense of this.[/b]

Grave Golem
*****
Zombie/Effect
When this card is summoned, except by its own effect, destroy it. If this card is being treated as Xyz material, that Xyz monster gains 300 attack and defense. When this card is detached from a Zombie type Xyz monster, special summon it to your side of the field.
Atk/2200 Def/2100

[b]Well, how are you supposed to summon it to use it as material to start with, unless you chain it to Forbidden Chalice or something.[/b]

Grave Assassin
****
Zombie/Effect
Once per turn, if this card is in the graveyard or on your side of the field, you can attach it to an Xyz monster your opponent controls. If this card is detached from your opponent’s Xyz monster, destroy that Xyz monster.
Atk/1500 Def/1200

[b]OCG Fixed. I like this idea.[/b]

Grave Soul
***
Zombie/Effect
Once per turn, if this card would be detached from a Zombie type Xyz monster you control, it is not. Each time you use this effect, put one Grave Counter on this card. If this card has 3 Grave Counters on it, banish this card.
Atk/1100 Def/900

[b]Counters on Xyz Material, just feels untidy and awkward, but nice to be innovative I guess.[/b]

Grave Arms
**
Zombie/Effect
If you control a non-Xyz “Grave” monster, you can special summon this card from the graveyard. If this card is special summoned by this effect, you can increase its level by 1 or 2. This card can only be used as Xyz material for a “grave” monster. If this card is used as Xyz material for the summon of a “Grave” monster, send this card to the bottom of your deck.
Atk/600 Def/400

[b]Interesting, quite balanced. However, the problem is that in other decks it would be infinite Synchro or Advance (looking at Monarchs here) material. It's not even once per turn![/b]

Grave Digger
Spell
Detach 2 Xyz material from a “Grave” Xyz monster you control. Search your deck for a “Grave” monster, and add it to your hand.

[b]I can see this as useful and balanced. Nice.[/b]

Grave Barrier
Continuous Spell
If a “Grave” Xyz monster you control would be destroyed by battle: detach an Xyz material from that card; that monster is not destroyed..

[b]OCG Fixed. Useful.[/b]

Extra Deck:

Grave Infector
***
Zombie/Xyz/Effect
Two level 3 “Grave” monsters
When this card destroys an opponent’s monster by battle, you can detach 2 Xyz material from this card to special summon it to your side of the field.
Atk/2300 Def/1200

[b]Immediately what jumps to mind is: 'Goyo Guardian is banned for a reason'. However, this can only do it once (barring the replenishing tactics of this archtype, is harder to summon and has less ATK. So maybe this is balanced. Yeah, good card.[/b]

Grave Titan
***
Zombie/Xyz/Effect
Two level 3 “Grave” monsters
Each of your end phases, remove 1 Xyz material from this card. If this card has no Xyz material, destroy it.
Atk/3000 Def/100

[b]Archtype beatstick thats less dangerous than Number 30.[/b]

Grave Knight
****
Zombie/Xyz/Effect
Two level 4 “Grave” monsters
Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz material from this card to have each Zombie type monster you control gain 300 attack and defense.
Atk/2400 Def/1000

[b]Meh. Just meh.[/b]

Grave Messiah
*****
Zombie/Xyz/Effect
Two level 5 Zombie type monsters
You can detach 1 Xyz material from this card to destroy 1 card your opponent controls.
Atk/2700 Def/1500

[b]Messiah? The boss monster of a zombie archtype is called Messiah? Just Adreus with a little more ATK, and can use its effect twice per turn.[/b]

If you like them, hate them, have an OCG correction, think they are too under/over powered, feel free to comment!

Overall there are some inventive things and stuff but some of them just don't make much sense or don't really work. The Xyz monsters are kinda disappointing to be honest, except for Infector (good name btw).

Gee, thanks for the very thorough reply! Here's my feedback to your feedback:

[b]Yeah, I guess it is a little OPed. I'll change it to have an LP cost.[/b]

Grave Warrior

[b]Nothing wrong with the odd vanilla beatstick. Level 3 would have been better for Tri-Wight Zone though, even if ATK had to go down.[/b]

[b]I just looked at Tri-Wight Zone, and I'm pretty sure it said "3 level twos", which kind of defeats the purpose of this card :/[/b]

Grave Tombstone

All “Grave” monsters gain 200 defense. You can tribute this monster to special summon a Zombie type Xyz monster from your graveyard. Its effect is negated and its attack is halved.

[b]Hmm, can't see the benefit to summoning an Xyz monster with this. Unless as a wall. Maybe the upcoming support will make more sense of this.[/b]

[b]Hmm... should I make it so that it still has it's effect? Or doesn't get it's attack halved?[/b]

[b]Well, how are you supposed to summon it to use it as material to start with, unless you chain it to Forbidden Chalice or something.[/b]

[b]Yeah, I guess this is a little under powered. I think I'll change it so that it can be special summoned by anything, not just its effect.[/b]

Grave Assassin

[b]Do you have a better idea for a limiting effect? No seriously, do you?[/b]

[b]Messiah? The boss monster of a zombie archtype is called Messiah? Just Adreus with a little more ATK, and can use its effect twice per turn.[/b]

[b]I kind of like the name <.< But technically if you use maggot and/or grave rising, it can be three times, or even for times per turn.[/b][/quote]

I'll get to editing the cards soon enough. And if you or anyone else wants too, feel free to suggest cards!

Edited some stuff, added Grave Mezuki(post a better name!) and Grave Gardna.

Oops, my bad about Tri Wight Zone. :s

Regarding tombstone, its effect is going to be stuffed anyway because its not going to have any overlay units when summoned by it, unless you put them on it by other means. So all you can use it for is to summon a temporary wall or beater.

Grave Soul, just note that the effect can only be used two/three times, and that when it is removed from the field it gets the PSZ/Quillbolt treatment. No need to complicate it with counters i think.
