(Inactivity should've been expected in this section, especially now that school's up for most users [and suppose a few of the usuals are in crisis mode in the states right now])

 

Card A

 

Card on its own is fine. Both of its monster effects act as more revival (latter being a way to circumvent banish heavy Decks, which do kill Zombies to an extent, barring Shiranui). Speaking of them, I don't think they really want this card, though if all else fails, guess they can use it as a side or something. P-effect is technically generic, but least your opponent can't chain Strike or w/e for a while (and GY revival is pretty common nowadays, if not the norm).

 

Scale is on the iffy end, but most Zombies seeing play are Level 6 and under anyway (Main Deck-wise), so it works out fine. Or just use it as a lone Scale to get its effect going. 

 

Card B

 

Oh look, it's a Foolish Burial clone for Zombies (which gets them where they need to be for the most part; including milling the key ones used to advance more summons, *cough Mezuki, etc. *) I mean, it's not a bad thing (though Burial itself got Limited for just milling monsters, so...take that into consideration). P-effect reviving stuff is okay, considering limitations.

 

Monster effect is more/less geared towards Zombie World plays, because second part is useless unless you're in mirror matches (or if Vendreads end up being more dominant in the meta). Given this is a Pendulum, unless you discard it from the hand or something, not sure how you're getting into the GY, bar for Foolish or Gozuki. Then again, not sure how often Zombies even Pendulum Summon nowadays, if they do (so at best, it's just a lone Scale; same could probably be said about A for the most part.)

 

====

Card A: Tributes/banishes self to summon Zombie from GY or banished area (yes, this isn't an actual zone, but you know this refers to banished monsters) and gives effect immunity to monsters SS'd from the grave for that turn. 

 

Card B: Copy of Foolish Burial when activated as lone Scale, revives self and combos with Zombie World for plays similar to Number 11; with a strict OPT. 

====

 

I'll give it to B this time, because it does fit into Zombies without completely compromising what they can already do without screwing over consistency.

 

A's effects are all nice for Zombies (especially the revival effect), but as I mentioned above, unless you're trying to recur Mezuki or something, not sure how that second effect will work out in the long run (as you cannot retrieve another copy of this anyway). Also a slight note about the P-effect / blanket protection; it doesn't have a type limiter so any Deck that revives from the GY often can/will abuse this to evade Strike and others. (P-effect is generic; monster effect is more in-theme).

Unless Sage has any objection, it's 1-0 in Card B's favor.

[Northern Sage]

None I suppose. It's done.
