This is my Zombie Curtain deck. It's pretty normal because I don't know a lot of the bigger zombie cards and some that may help power them up and stuff like that....


Monsters:
Nobleman-Eater Bug x1
Vampire Lord x1
Goku En x1 (might take out soon)
Pyramid Turtle x2
Anteatereatingant x1 (I will not take out cause i want the ability to destroy traps and such)
Morphing Jar x1
Gorz x1
Red Eyes Zombie Dragon x1
Kuriboh x1 (Since he can defend my life points and such)
Subrmarineroid x1 (The attack your LP then switch to 1800 Def I love)
Castle of Dark Illusions x1
Regenerating Mummy x2
Elemental Hero Neos Alius x1 (I know, doesnt fit in, but i need a 4 star 1900 atk while waiting for my Zombies ya know?)
Witch Doctor of Sparta x1 (To stall with the 2000 def)
Zombie Master x2 (duh)
Des Lacooda x1 (might take out soon)
Spirit Reaper x1
Paladin of the Cursed Dragon x1
Pitch Black Warwolf x1 (to help defend against Negate Attacks and stuff like that)
Old Vindictive Magician x1 (To destroy strong monsters that attack it)
Archfiend Soldier x1 (4 star 1900 atk. Keeping)

Magic/Spells:
Mystical Wind Typhoon x1
Ribbon of Rebirth x1
Gravekeeper's Servant x1
Zombie World x1

Traps:
Tutan Mask x1

I'm not an expert by any means but I do run a zombie deck. I recently came back myself so a lot of it is fresh in my mind.

Your deck seems to be all over the place. It's usually best to stick to a theme or two (Zombie World, Swarm, Lightsword, Synchro, Burn, ect) so you can rim down on cards and abuse that strategy. Swarming is my favorite strategy/ I need a PSZ to increase it's effectiveness. Zombie World is fun and allows you to put both graveyards into effect and use the fun Earthbound Immortal Cards.

Pick a strategy and stick to it. I know having an effect for everything is nice but your deck looks seriously slow and it seems you'd have a lot of useless/dead draw/opportunistic cards in your hand. I would go no more than 42-44 cards. I'm only offering advice and info on possible swaps/more current cards. You'd need to set a goal on what you want your deck to do, first.

Asked about some of the newer/good zombies/current cards? Cards you should consider looking at are:
Il Blud
Mezuki
Goblin Zombie
Vampire's Curse
Plaguespreader Zombie (Tuner, assuming you can get syncros)
Ryu Kokki
Bone Crusher

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cards you COULD swap out for things you use:
Kuriboh -> Necro Gardna (Or just axe it)
Anteatereatingant -> Bone Crusher/Il Blud/Giant Trunade/Heavy storm (Losing 2 spell/trap is bad+Tribute)
Archfiend Soldier -> Paladin of the Cursed Dragon/Zombie Master #3 (100 attack is much. Imo a potent equip card would be better)
Castle of Dark Illusions -> Il Blud/Nothing (Same reason as Archfiend. Waste a summon. Can be taken out easily and gives less field presence)
Regenerating Mummy -> Mezuki/Paladin of the Cursed Dragon/Zombie Master #3 (You have enough 1800s, 2x Mummies don't offer much in terms of their effect)
Nobleman-Eater Bug -> Legendary Jujitsu Master/Compulsary Evacuation Device (Requires tribute. Can be taken out easily and gives less field presence. Juitsu can possibly survive an attack + slow your opponent down. This is a similar feeling to old vindictive)
Elemental Hero Neos Alius -> Mezuki/Paladin of the Cursed Dragon/Zombie Master
Gorz -> Goku En/Ryu Kokki/Il Blud/REZD/Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu (Gorz is good but if you use Zombie World or Call of the Mummy you can't abuse his effect.)
Vampire Lord -> Goku En/Ryu Kokki/Il Blud/REZD/Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu (He seems to get trample VERY easily because of his low attack and all the ways peopel swarm the field. I would only use him in a burn deck if you would een want to at all.)

REZD and Paladin are kind of meh to me, even in a zombie world deck. I don't know why. Don't undersetimate the power of three turtle, either.

Other things you can consider:
Sangan
Krebons (Tuner)
Psychic Commander (Tuner)
Neo Spacian Grand Mole

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Broken Bamboo Sword -> Nothing (I don't know why this is here)
Paralyzing Potion -> Smashing Ground (Why not just get rid of it, and possibly revive it?)
Mask of The Accursed -> Smashing Ground (Above)
Tribute to the doomed -> Smashing Ground/Lightning Vortex (LV: More bang for your buck)
Terraforming -> A second Zombie world is better. Can be used incase your first gets wiped.
Pot of Avarice -> Allure of Darkness/Card of Safe Return (Your graveyard is usually your source of power in a zombie deck. Getting rid of it can be bad. It's debatable on what type you play, though.)
Ribbon of Rebirth -> ??? (I found my monsters destroyed by effect for than anything else. I would prefer to just remove it.

More book of Lifes, ofc. Can also consider Giant Trunade/Heavy storm/brain control/Book of Moon.

Creature swap is a lovely thing. You can snag their powerful monster while giving them a pyramid turte/goblin zombie/Goku En/something you want in your grave yard while opening up their life points. Attack the turtle and get another card on the field. Summon Goku En using its effect, attack and swap it. The amount of damage I do with them are insane. CS fits very well into zombie decks more so than any other type I think.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as traps go, I would try to stay around 5-6. I wouldn't try to use anything that discards. I didn't like Tutan mask all that much. An "upgraded" version of Sakaretsu armor is Dimensional Prison, although it is about $15. Consider Mirror Force as well.

Lastly, here's a Zombie Deck Garage as something for you to look at/draw ideas from: http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=701507%2522

This was very descriptive and very appreciated, I've recently stumbled across a good place to order single cards for not high prices, so thank you very much.
