Pros

  • Mills Zombie monsters out of your deck.
  • Can Special summon Zombie monsters from your deck.

Cons

  • Special summoning from your deck can only be triggered when your opponent destroys Samurai Skull with a card effect.

Tips

Bacon Saver

Put Bacon Saver into the graveyard so that you can use his effect later to protect your monster from an opponent's attack.

Vampire

Samurai Skull is an excellent opening play for Vampire decks because it allows them to get Vampire Familiar or Vampire Retainer into the graveyard where they can special summon themselves and trigger their search effect. If Samurai Skull is destroyed by your opponent's card effect you can also Special summon these monsters from your deck and trigger their search effect.

The fact that this monster dumps a zombie from deck as soon as summoned, is superior to gozuki since it can be floodgate th'd, canadia'd, book of moon'd. And if ur opponent try to get rid of this card, it floats with something straight from the deck while Gozuki is only from hand and it needs to banish something first from GY.
This card deserves to be UR like Gozuki or at least SR, IMO.
But nevermind, I know why Gozuki is UR because you can continuously activate its effect and summoning zombie from hand regardless its level is great.

What was the brilliant idea freeing this card?

Back when shiranui was meta konami noticed there was a cheap alternative to gozuki so they limited skull

Then once they nerfed shiranui they noticed the only way to be play was with playing both gozuki and skull. Players no longer had a cheap alternative, they needed both card so skull was released, skull would no longer affect the sales of gozuki

Didn't they free this 🔥 before Shiranui was even released? I don't remember.

Why when my opponent drowning my samurai skull , my samurai skull effect did not active to special summon level 4 or lower zombie from deck ?

Effects cannot activate directly from the Deck. After Drowning resolve, Samurai Skull would be in the Deck, therefore its "leave the field" effect cannot activate.

So "leave the field" effect only can active in GY and banish zone only ?
In the Deck and hand can not be active ?

It can activate anywhere (even hand), except the Deck and Extra Deck.

I kinda lol at some comments that say this card wasn't going to be limited but in all honesty, how old are those posts?
Probably as old as Empire of Scarlet is haha

Tbh, hitting vampire grace or kingdom sounds like a more reasonable hit. Limiting skull hurts not only vampires but other zombie decks. If Konami wanted vampires to go, they could have hit the two I mentioned above. So when they release more zombies there won’t be any limitations

They won't touch this card, because the deck is not being overused.

And the game is free to play.
