#PRETTY GOOD SOLITAIRE PENGUIN BUG PLUS#

1 Shiranui Solitaire and 3 Uni-Zombie seemed like the right number of Uni-Zombie to run. That left room in the deck for a small Zombies package. So even though 5 might be a better ratio for 'Golden Lords' I think 6 is still the right number, you want to see your lord, you want to see your Eldland, you don't mind seeing them together. But if 2 Lords get banished you want your cards to still work that third turn. Here's my reasoning: Seeing Eldland is always better than seeing Lord. I think you need to play 3 Eldland 3 Golden Lord. You just need to see these, either to send them to the GY, or to search them for more value on the follow-up, so even though White is a lot worse, it really is still quite good, and even better in a deck with the Zombies engine. 1 Golden Land Forever, because it is a searchable Solemn, made better by our normal summon being a Zombie. You don't need to grind forever, and 5 of these are the right number, since you only need to access 1 Eldlixer in most turns, and since you need to summon Golden Lord for them to be live you don't want to brick on these cards. For Golden Land trap monsters, 3 Conquistador, and 2 Huaqero is probably the best ratio. Then Solemns and Imperm, because these cards are good, at this point these are pretty obligatory in my Eldlich builds for their power and versatility.

3 Zombie World, as a floodgate that disrupts a lot of different archetypes, 1 Necroworld Banshee as copy #4, plus 1 Foolish Burial as copy 5 of Zombie World as well as being a way to send Bloom or even just Golden Lord. So, starting from the top, I put in my tech cards first.

However, Golden Lord is straight up a Zombies card, Zombie World doesn't conflict with Eldlich cards gameplan and is good right now, and by running a small zombies package and a more formidable Eldlich Line I know what the deck is - an Eldlich deck that runs Zombie World and very occasionally Balerdroch. So the marriage of the two archetypes was not as natural as you might have suspected. When I sit down to pilot a deck I want to know what deck I am piloting, not some hybrid deck where half the time I'm playing Eldlich and half the time I'm playing Zombies. The Eldlich engine is a testy thing that takes tuning to hum, and previous builds have felt schizophrenic. I've struggled when building Zombie Eldlich decks in the past. The Eldlich cards are Zombie support, right? I mean, look, they say Zombie right on the card? Well, not quite.
