What is a deck theme in yugioh?

Question

like for example, people say things like zombie deck.

what's that?

is it just a deck with a bunch of zombies?

and how do you start building one?

i was looking in the store and i saw a structure deck that's called dark emperor.

do i buy a structure deck like that, and then start fixing it to make a good zombie deck?

Answer 1

A Theme is the basis of a deck. Your Strategy and your win condition. A zombie deck is just that, a deck themed around zombies and what they are good at doing. If you don't know, Zombies are great at special summoning.

The Dark emperor Structure deck is not for you if you want to play zombies. This structure deck involves monsters being removed from play. Zombies need the graveyard to special summon, and Remove from play prevents cards entering your graveyard. Its actually the worst possible deck you could go up against.

If you want to build a Zombie deck, i suggest buying the structure deck Zombie Madness.

If you want a better deck (this will get pricey, and you will have to find these cards on your own,) may i suggest this Deck list.

1 Il Blud

2 Ryu Kokki

2 Giant Rat

3 Zombie Master

3 Pyramid Turtle

2 Cyber Dragon

1 Snipe Hunter

1 Breaker the Magical Warrior

1 Spirit Reaper

1 Card Trooper

1 Sangan

1 Neo-Spacian Grand Mole

Spells: 15

3 Card of Safe Return

1 Nobleman of Crossout

3 Book of Life

2 Creature Swap

1 Lightning Vortex

1 Premature Burial

1 Heavy Storm

1 Mystical Space Typhoon

1 Brain Control

1 Foolish Burial

Traps: 6

1 Mirror Force

1 Torrential Tribute

1 Call of the Haunted

2 Dust Tornado

1 Widespread Ruin

Thats not the best build, but it is slightly better than the structure deck.
