General Info by Anzo:


. Gravekeepers is a safe deck to play, you need an average hand and a great mind to have a chance against meta decks. It's indeed able to put a good show against most of today's decks. It can disable their graveyard and also restrict their ability to manipulate their cards either was it to banish them or summon them from the grave. You could use the deck's core cards to your advantage: Necrovally, Spy, Commandant, Recruiter, and Descendant are the cards you should be focused to get in your hand.
. There is variant of ways to build a Gravekeepers decks, this Pro Decklist; however, won/topped our Pro Decklist Tournament (Mostly because other players used Deck who depended on the Graveyard and Necrovalley and Shaman Stopped them), meaning it should be "Standard" build in a sense. You can play around with the deck to make it more fitting to your own play style.

Analysis of the "Core Cards" ( = The peculiar cards of the Deck. Not ALL cards of it.)


Gravekeeper's Recruiter + Gravekeeper's Spy + Gravekeeper's Commandant + Gravekeeper's Ambusher : as a Monster(s), they are the searchers of the Deck. With Recruiter and Spy you can Search Gravekeeper's From your Deck. Commandant can Add "Necrovalley" from the Deck to the hand. Ambusher can add "Necrovaley" from the Graveyard.

Necrovalley: Its what makes this deck semi-solid. Monster cannot be banished from the Graveyard, also effects that would move cards other than themselves are negated. It boost your Gravekeeper's by 500 ATK. This pretty much works perfectly, and amazingly affective against most of today's most-used-decks.

Gravekeeper's Descendant + Gravekeeper's Shaman + Gravekeeper's Heretic : Core cards of the deck so to speak. Descendant can destroy cards your opponent controls, Shaman blocks every effect that active in the Graveyard except for Gravekeeper's. Heretic is unaffected by other cards while you control Necrovalley.

Imperial Tombs of Necrovalley: while both a "Gravekeeper's" monster and "Necrovalley" are on the field you can negate the activation of a spell, monster's effect or trap card.
Royal Tribute: IF you control "Necrovalley": Both players discard any monsters in their hands.

Gravekeeper's Stele: Can add 2 "Gravekeeper's" monster from the Graveyard to the Hand.

Gravekeeper's Assailant : If Necrovalley is face-up he can change the Battle Position of a monster he attacks!
