At this point, TMT stands for Twenty Minute Testing. In all seriousness, this deck is based. Does make me want to see a matchup between this and Exosister, the archetype specifically designed to fight zombies.

[@KuroeNezumi]

With how MBT said it, this deck exists in the between times when exorsister isn't fully a meta deck. Point being: don't expect it to beat it if they are on a roll, much less when the meta shifts.

You can use your Changshi mill on something else and still go through immortal dragon. GAAH I just love this deck so much and honestly really appreciated the opportunity to word vomit my thoughts about it to my best friend and enable him to turn that word vomit into content. Still salty about Baronne’s price tag though.

It's a nice build (very nice) and I kind of want the list to browse. That said I am on a budget and lack droplets. So I'll sub in an extra mauler and two Rivalry instead (as side slots, obv)

[@Blackacre438]

@@weckar so my budget version plays Super Polymerization instead of the droplets. It does a very similar thing, you just need the extra deck space for Nethersoul Dragon and one other target. Replacing the SPolys with droplets is one of the changes Joseph made to the list for lack of budget constraints on his end.

[@seanr143_4]

This is the sole reason I love playing sylvans, while not a great archetype its really fun to play as similarly it demands constant attention with both the random nature of mills and their various effects in grave to create different style of board every game. Love to see a deck actually requiring brain cells for once and not just boring combo decks that go the same line every game. Great Vid

[@sluggernott]

The first thing this deck screamed to me, was "Fun". I enjoy the fact that combos arent linear and you have different plays for different situations. Of course, gotta just love Zombie anyways.

[@Coyotebriggs]

ready fusion is also a great extender, you can use Sea Monster of Theseus, a vanilla lvl 5 for even the vanilla lvl 2 tuner

It is a really good extender, the problem is how tight the extra deck already is.

[@Coyotebriggs]

@@Blackacre438 in this deck I'd probably cut the punk fusion, zombie Stein, and one other, the main goal my build has is making Barrone and the scythe setup so you have a negate to try and protect the lock. And this deck has a amazing crackback

[@jyoungman92]

First time seeing a deck I was already playing on TMT! It's so fun to play, and I'm currently on a 3 week locals win streak with it. I was so hyped to see this TMT be posted!

[@surehit2496]

This recalls me of my personal favorite video game deck: Syncron/Quasar turbo, REALLY cool and full of different lines.

[@AlluMan96]

I've always loved the Zombie World decks, because despite seeming very xenolocked thanks to cards like Uni-Zombie and Glow-up Bloom, the deck is actually incredibly friendly to different engines and divergent strategies. I run what could be considered a rather "Generic" build, taking advantage of Zombie World's ability to floodgate, abusing Super Poly with Draconecro and playing Eldlich, because he's funny with Super Poly. For bricking, I've always run a small care-package of Danger! cards, because most of your bricks are at least good in the grave, so getting them there is always helpful. I don't know how well it'd mesh with the PUNKs though. Jack-O-Bolan is another great option for this, although the more you veer away from a pure zombie build, the less useful it will be. Overall, with how potent the Zombie World combo is, as long as you use all the bare essentials, there's alot of creativity to be had in figuring out how to best plan out the deck or just make something utterly stupid and call it functional.

[@AZ-rl7pg]

Another example of why zombie is one of my favorite "archetypes"

[@gabecross9440]

Under zombie world you can use t.g. and scythe to go into red eyes dragon lord and infinite scythe lock

[@burningspeed]

P.U.N.K. is such a great synchro engine, you can splash it in practically almost any synchro deck and it gets a significant boost in some shinanigans it can do. There's so much experimenting to be done with this engine and I'm looking forward to seeing what it can allow other decks to be able to do. I wonder what it could allow decks like Karakuri or Six Samurai be able to do.

[@jirehjirehjirehjireh]

Decks like these are the ones for the players who care more about playing really fun interactive games than maximizing win potential. Don’t necessarily want to play jank, but if they lose to bad rng it’s no big deal.

[@Blackacre438]

It truly is the combo deck for people who prioritize "playing YuGiOh" over "winning games".

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

I wish all combo decks were this dynamic, but boy does that make them stressful to play at times, constantly shifting play lines really aren't for everybody.

[@AMcJV12]

[@toadsage7194]

my personal favorite deck this format, i tend to stay away from the scythe lock but thats just preference. instead i go for a 3-4 mat apo baronne, doomking in GY for the standby and yuki onna + ZW so much love how none linear these are

[@joshuasbrooks]

I do think this is the best deck in the format for making full utilisation from the P.U.N.K. engine. Punk with Adventure really just means your only reliable access to the P.U.N.K. line is through E-Tele. This shares very similar problems to P.U.N.K. Therion in that you can just open some rather bad and bricky hands that can quite easily get shut down. However unlike Therion this deck doesn't run any hand traps to help fight through disruption. Instead what this has over Therion is that its follow up is ALOT better. Sometimes you'll just make Calamity in Therion and then the next turn you're struggling to do anything at all. In this deck you always have plenty of follow up. The deck strikes a nice balance between Adventurer and Therion, in that it doesn't need E-Tele to be able to combo off to the most potential and it has plenty of follow up plays, but is also a little weaker than both of these to disruption due to the lack of handtraps. I do however think it's underappreciated in the format and it's definitely a very solid pick atm.

[@batsmak2506]

In that last game I dont think you were in a position that you needed to droplet for 2. Sending just the snow would have been enough to stop the scythe lock from happening, and with uni-zombie and the 3 punk cards you were in a position where absolute worst case scenario you were still making a rank 8. Normal the uni-zombie to try and bait snow, foxy effect for deer, tribute deer to special ogre from hand and deer revive foxy. If they snow the deer you can still tribute to summon ogre from hand and then you get to keep uni in play next to the 2 8s and set up a halq line instead. They had nibiru so maybe it wouldn't have mattered but that game was definitely winnable.

[@MBTYuGiOh]

Gotta say, seeing the Nibiru on the replay was SO gratifying because I KNEW there was a winning line in there otherwise, and if I'd thrown with a deck this cool I wouldn't have forgiven myself!

[@borisheidenreich1830]

Note about Zombiestein, it requires DARK monsters to xyz summon, so foxy is not material for it

[@Blackacre438]

Yup! That was in the video. I had given up on zombiestein because that requirement was asinine until I started playing an expanded punk engine with ogre dance.

[@eleonarcrimson858]

Well the reality is it kinda is

[@fernandos1607]

Well the reality is that Punk is the best way to play the deck. If you aren't playing Punk then you're playing Dangers that are...........well punk but inconsistent. Until Konami gives somekind of extender that is capable to let you play through interruptions then deck will have to keep looking for engines so it doesn't die to an Ash to Uni-Zombie, Gozuki, solitaire etc.

Any reason on playing Zombiestein over Number 23: Lancelot? They're both zombies and I feel like not having to discard for Lancelot makes it superior, plus technically you can just make it into Zeus.

[@gembish1681]

Lancelot is really cool, but unfortunately his omni-negate activates AUTOMATICALLY in response to an effect activation, even yours. Easy to for your opponent to bait, and can be hard for you to play around on your turn. In contrast, Zombiestein does have a steeper cost for his negate, since you have to detach a material, AND discard, AND rotate him to DEF, but you at least have more control over the negate timing, and the sheer beef he brings to the table with 4500 ATK is pretty useful. Zeus is a good point to bring up, but 1.) ED space can get pretty tight in Zombie decks, especially with hybrid builds, 2.) you have to consider that you may be making a lot of your plays while Zombie-locked thanks to Uni-Zombie or Glow-Up-Bloom (or if you're playing the Zombie World + Rivalry of Warlords lock), and 3.) XYZs aren't usually your primary push for ED summons in Zombie decks. Don't get me wrong, there's specific situations where you're deliberately trying to go into the XYZs, but I see them as more of a mid-game investment after you've already gone into your more crucial Links and Synchros.
