You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard by banishing 1 Zombie-Type monster you control. Once per turn, when your opponent declares an attack: You can activate this card's effect; negate the attack, and return 1 of your banished Zombie-Type monsters to the bottom of your Deck.[hr]Flavour Music - The Chrysalis of Eternity
From the depths of the Valley of the Kings, the deepest tombs of Egypts, lay this great and powerful beast, forever dormant as he rested an fed upon the honour, the power carried by the Spirits of the Pharaohs that now in the depths. But now, for no longer. The Dragon of Egypt, now revived, seeks to bring about the times of his Kings once again
 
Simple Zombie Support. It enables you to try and Zombiestein with more frequency, as well as serving to return the fodder and any other banished zombies back to the Deck. I hope you like it.

As it stands, you can return your opponent's banished Zombie's to the bottom of your deck. Major no no.

I really love cards that can "stand on their own", so to say. I, for a second, believed it was Level 7, and I was going to smile my butt off at Kamenleon into Starform Dragon plays, but alas, it is Lv. 8.

It's pretty interesting to add a Zombie that wants to banish other Zombies, as it is usually deemed counter productive to the Type's approach to winning games. Why make it like this?

Thanks for the review!

I'll do the tweaking to fix the banished opp Zombies. That's an OCG flaw, really.

I might make it Lv7, I just didn't want this to be Redox-able, but then again it wouldn't be that much I suppose.

I'm not sure, to be honest, why I made it like this. I figured it'd be somewhat different- Oh, wait, I remember now: I had Wights in mind when making this XD

Zombies have plenty of dumpability, with lavalval chain, foolish, lightsworn engine, etc., so it's safe to assume that this'll hit the grave quick.  

 

It can turn any leftover scrap monster into a 26 beater, but this isn't problematic since it only crosses the 25 threshold, and because it banishes the monster, preventing Goblin Zombie shenanigans.  

 

The last effect is what I don't like: recycling mezukis and plaguespreaders while protecting your field so you can explode with those restocked monsters again next turn.

I wouldn't say that like it is a bad thing. I think Mezuki and Plaguespreader are fine if returned to the Deck, as it's the whole point behind cards like Shuten Doji. Why prohibit this guy from doing so? I believe removing that effect would impair its playability. Plus, it's to the bottom, so you would need a second card to use the returned card effectively.
