Duel Links Zombie deck, PvP, Meta, and Best deck.
update 16/07/2017

Overview

This deck centers around summoning Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon, while also having great search power and card removal. Summon Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon when possible so that you can activate Beatdown! and give your monsters the attack boost they need.

How to use

Search cards

Gozuki is quite versatile in a zombie deck, especially when you run multiple copies of him. He can be use to send zombie-type monsters from deck to the graveyard where they can easily be revived or, if you have a zombie-type monster in your graveyard that isn't Gozuki, you can send another Gozuki to the graveyard to activate his effect and special summon a zombie-type monster from your hand. Both of Gozuki's effects will help you get Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon out on the field. Goblin Zombie will primarily be used to search Gozuki, but can also be used to search another Goblin Zombie to mill down your deck. Red-Eyes Insight searches for Red-Eyes Spirit and sends Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon to the graveyard, making it practically a free Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon summon when you revive him with the Red-Eyes Spirit you added to hand.

Special summon Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon

Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon and is basically a 2400 attack beatstick, but unlike other beatsticks with similar or more attack, Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon is very well supported belonging to at least two archtypes, namely zombies and red-eyes. Because of this, there are many ways in which he can be summoned. You can special summon him form your hand with the effect of Gozuki, or revive him from the grave with Red-Eyes Wyvern or Red-Eyes Spirit. You can also tribute summon him with one zombie-type monster, if summoned this way using Gozuki as tribute will allow you to use Gozuki's effect to special summon another zombie-type monster from your hand, or by using Goblin Zombie as tribute for tribute summoning allows you to search your deck.

Chain spell/traps

All spell/trap cards in this deck can be chained with one another. Knowing this, you can use Storm on spell/trap cards you set the turn before like Enemy Controller and Red-Eyes Spirit then chaining them to get all their effects out.

Handling stronger monsters

Heavy Knight of the Flame, Enemy Controller and Super Rush Headlong are teched into this deck to deal with monsters stronger than your Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon.

  • Instead of destroying your opponent's monster by battle, you can use Heavy Knight of the Flame or Super Rush Headlong to destroy them with card effects. Heavy Knight of the Flame when re-summoned, destroys any special summoned monster that he battles. Which is great since most decks special summon their strongest monsters. Super Rush Headlong allows a monster to immediately destroy any monster of an attribute you declare, and it is a quick play spell making it good for offense and defense.
  • Enemy Controller changes the battle position of your opponent's monsters. For monsters with both high attack and defense points (e.g. Blue-Eyes White Dragon) use Enemy Controller's second effect to take control of it for this turn, then set up for a direct attack.

Whenever I use storm and have Red-Eyes Spirit set, it just gets destroyed and doesn't chain. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, perhaps. You should check the self-chain activation in Settings, or use the toggle button to activate cards.

Thank you! It's the self chain button in settings, I toggled it off nearly half a year ago and I totally forgot about it.

I have 9000 gems, 1 gozuki and 1 wyvern.. should I try my luck and build this deck ? I'm f2p

You have an option to get Samurai Skull from Generation Next for a substitute for Gozuki, that should probably save you some gems. And REZ has evolved to be less reliant on wyvern now, its better you get some of them Wall of Disrupt traps from the new pack Servant of Kings too. Anti-magic arrows can also fit into this deck if you have it.

pulling 3 gozukis in this game is frustrating, run this deck with 2 samurai skulls and 1 goZuni and it's still effective

I find amusing all t he people that complains about this deck being not only 🔥 but p2w deck, I was lucky (f2p) and got my 2nd gozuki and 3rd red eyes zombie last tuesday, I made it to KOG today, and plan to keep running this deck even if the meta changes is so fun to play with

PS I run heavy knights instead of goblin zombies and it works great

The nerf doesnt really hurt rez at all, missing one copy of spirit, wasnt really a loss for this deck

When using this deck, I cannot seem to use Storm correctly. I try to use it so I can chain Red Eyes Spirit but it just destroys it before. Does anyone know why

You activate spirit then ise storm in chain not the other way around

storm is a normal spell you can't chain them to spirit, to chain spirit you must activate self chain in setting

Storm cant be chained with either ECon nor red eyes, it destroys them without letting u use them. Can use mirror wall to make ur monsters hold on tikk u can use beat down

You can chain econ and others to storm. You have to go into your settings in a duel and turn self chain on. It's usually set so that it only asks you to chain things in response to your opponent's cards

Is there any good substitute for Goblin? God knows when will Bakita come back.

I'd also like to know. I subbed one out for another insight. But I keep on changing the other substitution. I've tried Hane hanes (stops pheonix-cyber angels- reliqished) another tapping spell/trap, or champion vigilance.

Goblin is your searcher specifically for getting a Gozuki into your hand, no card can really replace the searcher function. But there are other zombie cards now that offer more options depending on play style. Samurai skull on summon can send a card to graveyard. Bacon saver is also quite awesome and worthwhile in a zombie deck. Also Chaz drops a new powerful zombie, despair from the dark.
