 https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Zombie_World_Structure_Deck_(TCG-EN-1E)
                                                       SDZW-EN037
Trap Card
Magical Arm Shield
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent declares an attack while you control a monster. Take control of 1 of your opponent's face-up monsters, except the attacking monster, until the end of the Battle Phase. It is attacked instead.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Use one of your opponent's monsters against them, or pick a monster with equal attack with the attacking monster and destroy 2 of your opponent's monsters!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN036
Trap Card
Waboku
Normal Trap
You take no Battle Damage this turn. Your monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 4
Keep your monsters on the field and your LPs safe for a turn!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN035
Trap Card
Tutan Mask
Counter Trap
Negate the activation and the effect of a Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 face-up Zombie-Type monster and destroy it.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
I'd suggest not using this card outside Zombie Decks for very obvious reasons.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN034
Trap Card
Bottomless Trap Hole
Normal Trap
When your opponent Summons a monster(s) with 1500 or more ATK, destroy and remove from play the monster(s).
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Since most playable monsters in the game have at least 1500 ATK, this card has high chances of taking a monster out of play!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN033
Trap Card
Dust Tornado
Normal Trap
Destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls. You can then Set 1 Spell or Trap Card from your hand.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
Not a bad card but in most cases, MST is better.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN032
Trap Card
Imperial Iron Wall
Continuous Trap
Cards cannot be removed from play.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
This bad boy stops Bottomless (which ironically is in this Deck), and just about any card that removes cards from play but also hurts those that benefit from cards removed from play.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN031
Spell Card
Card Destruction
Normal Spell
Each player discards their hand and draws the same number of cards they discarded.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Have a bad hand? Know your opponent has a good one? Change all that with this card!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN030
Spell Card
Ribbon of Rebirth
Equip Spell
If the equipped monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon it to your side of the field during the End Phase.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
Perhaps I overestimated this card. It seems like a good card but in contrast is pretty well a dead draw unless you have a monster to equip it with and it only works once, unless you bring this card back to your hand.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN029
Spell Card
Soul Taker
Normal Spell
Destroy 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Then, your opponent gains 1000 Life Points.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
It lets you destroy a face up monster your opponent has but then your opponent gets extra LPs and giving your opponent anything is almost always a bad thing.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN028
Spell Card
Field Barrier
Continuous Spell
Field Spell Cards cannot be destroyed. Also, a new Field Spell Card cannot be activated. You can only control 1 face-up "Field Barrier".
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Keep your Field Spell safe from harm and continue to let it dominate your opponent!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN027
Spell Card
Shrink
Quick-Play Spell
Select 1 face-up monster on the field. The original ATK of that monster is halved until the end of this turn.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 4
Convert just about any monster into a wannabe weakling, then destroy it for big damage!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN026
Spell Card
Pot of Avarice
Normal Spell
Select 5 Monster Cards in your Graveyard. Return those cards to the Deck, then draw 2 cards.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Getting 5 monsters in your Graveyard isn't too difficult with Lightsworn or Synchro monsters running around!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN025
Spell Card
Terraforming
Normal Spell
Add 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Quickly search out the deadly Zombie World from this Deck or another powerful Field Spell Card!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN024
Spell Card
Call of the Mummy
Continuous Spell
Once per turn, if you control no monsters, you can Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from your hand.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Draw this card when you have no monsters out and nothing but high-level Zombies in your hand, and you can bring out a strong Zombie monster like Despair from the Dark or Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN023
Spell Card
Book of Life
Normal Spell
Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from your Graveyard and remove from play 1 monster from your opponent's Graveyard.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 4
What more could you want? You bring back any Zombie in your Grave without any restriction and take out any monster from your opponent's Graveyard!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN022
Spell Card
Creature Swap
Normal Spell
Each player selects 1 monster they control and switches control of those monsters with each other. Those monsters cannot change their battle positions for the rest of this turn.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
When you get right down to it, this card is pretty situational. It does allow you to take a strong monster and give your opponent a weaker monster but that's if your opponent only has a strong monster out.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN021
Spell Card
Card of Safe Return
Continuous Spell
When a monster is Special Summoned to the field from your Graveyard, you can draw 1 card.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
The best part about this card is that a monster just has to be Special Summoned from your Graveyard, which can be done from either player! This card is what makes Manticore of Darkness broken!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN020
Spell Card
Magical Stone Excavation
Normal Spell
Discard 2 cards. Add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Retrieve your Zombie World card that you lost or pick up another decent Spell Card!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN019
Spell Card
Cold Wave
Normal Spell
This card can only be activated at the start of your Main Phase 1. Until your next turn, you and your opponent cannot play or Set any Spell or Trap Cards.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 1
In general, the only good thing about this card is that it doesn't stay on the field! Use Heavy Storm instead as you can just remove any surprises your opponent has.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN018
Spell Card
Spell Shattering Arrow
Quick-Play Spell
Destroy all face-up Spell Cards your opponent controls. For each destroyed Spell Card, inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
Most likely your best bet is to use this against Crystal Beast Decks since it's very unlikely that your opponent will control enough face up Spell Cards to deal decent damage to your opponent.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN017
Spell Card
Zombie World
Field Spell
All monsters on the field and in any Graveyard become Zombie-Type monsters. Neither player can Tribute Summon monsters, except Zombie-Type monsters.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 4
It's name states all. Nothing but Zombies can be on the field! What hurts this card is that it blocks your high-level non-Zombie monsters from hitting the field as well.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN016
Effect Monster
Zombie Master
DARK | Zombie | Level 4 | ATK 1800 | DEF 0
Once per turn, you can send 1 Monster Card from your hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Zombie-Type Monster from either player's Graveyard.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Well his rating stops at 3 for that 0 DEF and being unable to discard any card for the Level 4 Zombie-Type monster. His 1800 ATK balances his rating to 3/5.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN015
Effect Monster
Plague Wolf
DARK | Zombie | Level 3 | ATK 1000 | DEF 1000
Once per turn, you can change this card's ATK to twice its original ATK. If you do, destroy it during the End Phase.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 1
Alright, UDE, what was your brain thinking when you stuck this card in? Clearly it wasn't thinking at all! This card is terrible overall.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN014
Effect Monster
Marionette Mite
DARK | Insect | Level 3 | ATK 1000 | DEF 1000
You can discard this card to the Graveyard to take control of 1 face-up Fiend or Zombie-Type monster your opponent controls until the End Phase this turn.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
If anything, he'll be dropped into the Grave to let you steal that monster you need to help you summon REZD. That's all you should use this for.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN013
Effect Monster
Des Lacooda
EARTH | Zombie | Level 3 | ATK 500 | DEF 600
Once per turn, you can flip this card into face-down Defense Position. When this card is Flip Summoned, draw 1 card.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
In order for this guy to help you, you'll need to help it stay on the field!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN012
Effect Monster
Regenerating Mummy
DARK | Zombie | Level 4 | ATK 1800 | DEF 1500
When this card is sent from your hand to the Graveyard by an opponent's card effect, return it to your hand.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
At least if your opponent uses Card Destruction or something, he comes right back to your hand. He also has the decent 1800 ATK for a Level 4 monster!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN011
Effect Monster
Ryu Kokki
DARK | Zombie | Level 6 | ATK 2400 | DEF 2000
If this card battles a Warrior or Spellcaster-Type monster, destroy that monster at the end of the Damage Step.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 4
Even if you don't want to bother with his effect, he's still a nice 2400 ATK Level 6 monster!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN010
Effect Monster
Getsu Fuhma
DARK | Warrior | Level 4 | ATK 1700 | DEF 1200
If this card battles a Fiend or Zombie-Type monster, destroy that monster at the end of the Damage Step.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 1
His ATK falls just short of getting 3 stars but I have managed to luckily win with him once. He doesn't have much going for him and should only be run in Zombie Decks if anywhere.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN009
Effect Monster
Spirit Reaper
DARK | Zombie | Level 3 | ATK 300 | DEF 200
This card cannot be destroyed by battle. Destroy this card when it is targeted by the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster. If this card successfully attacks directly, your opponent randomly discards 1 card.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 4
Never fear, the reaper is here...to defend your LPs that is! Virtually no monster can take him out and only cards that target him will be successful in getting rid of him!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN008
Normal Monster
Master Kyonshee
EARTH | Zombie | Level 4 | ATK 1750 | DEF 1000
A wandering Kyonshee searching for a strong rival to defeat. They say he was known as the master of all martial arts.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
His ATK falls just short of getting 3 stars but I have managed to luckily win with him once. He doesn't have much going for him and should only be run in Zombie Decks if anywhere.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN007
Effect Monster
Pyramid Turtle
EARTH | Zombie | Level 4 | ATK 1200 | DEF 1400
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster with 2000 or less DEF from your Deck.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 4
A perfect card for any Zombie Deck! He can search out the big guys like Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon or Ryu-Kokki and bring them out without Tributes! Plus it's very easy to destroy him in battle!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN006
Effect Monster
Royal Keeper
EARTH | Zombie | Level 4 | ATK 1600 | DEF 1700
Once per turn, you can flip this card into face-down Defense Position. When this card is flipped face-up, it gains 300 ATK and DEF until the end of the turn. (If attacked, this effect resolves after damage calculation.)
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 1
Even if he does get the +300 ATK and DEF, he doesn't keep it and he's easily susceptible to Bottomless and regular Trap Hole.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN005
Effect Monster
Patrician of Darkness
DARK | Zombie | Level 5 | ATK 2000 | DEF 1400
The controller of this card selects the targets of their opponent's attacks.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
His ATK isn't very high but his effect can save your weaker monsters and perhaps take an opponent's monster out if this guy gets attacked.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN004
Effect Monster
Gernia
DARK | Zombie | Level 4 | ATK 1300 | DEF 1200
If this face-up card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard by an opponent's card effect, Special Summon it during your next Standby Phase.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
I give him 2 stars because if he dies by an opponent's effect, he comes back during your next Standby Phase but that's the only reason he gets 2 stars.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN003
Effect Monster
Paladin of the Cursed Dragon
LIGHT | Zombie | Level 4 | ATK 1900 | DEF 1200
Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Zombie-Type monster that was destroyed by battle from your opponent's Graveyard to your side of the field.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 4
A powerful Level 4 monster with the ability to steal the Zombies it destroys in battle from your opponent with no drawback at all!
 
                                                       SDZW-EN002
Effect Monster
Malevolent Mech - Goku En
LIGHT | Zombie | Level 6 | ATK 2400 | DEF 1400
You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. If you do, this card is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase if it is the only Zombie-Type monster on the field. When it is sent to the Graveyard by this effect, you take damage equal to its ATK.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
Why is this guy's rating short two stars for having 2400 ATK on a Level 6 monster? His effects, that's why! Since you can at least Tribute Summon him, he retains 2 stars.
 
                                                       SDZW-EN001
Effect Monster
Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon
DARK | Zombie | Level 7 | ATK 2400 | DEF 2000
You can Tribute Summon this card in face-up Attack Position by Tributing 1 Zombie-Type monster. When this card destroys a Zombie-Type monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon that monster to your side of the field.
(Ultra Rare)
                                                       Rating: 3
What makes this relative of REBD worthy of 3 stars? He requires only 1 Tribute if the Tribute is a Zombie, and Pyramid Turtle can bring him out! However, his level prevents a higher rating for him.
