Hello and welcome yet again to another episode of Older Deck Support!! (*cheering and clapping*)
This time I wanted to take a look at Gravekeeper's. Unlike with Cloudians (my previous post), Gravekeeper's are almost good enough to see play. Most of this has to do with their unique field spell, Necrovalley, but almost all of them have some potential and/or have seen competitive play in the past. I want to bring that competitive play into a more modern frame of mind and also open up the door to strategies using neglected members of the archetype.
(*DISCLAIMER: I AM SORRY I WAS TOO LAZY TO DRAW SOMETHING*)
version 1 (monster)
If this card is in your hand or field (Quick Effect): You can tribute this card; negate the effects of \"Necrovalley\", until the end of this turn. If this card is in the GY and \"Necrovalley\" is on the field (Quick Effect): You can target 1 Field Spell; destroy it, also, after that, Special Summon this card. You can only use 1 \"Gravekeeper's Khopesh\" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
current (monster)
While this card is on the field and you control "Necrovalley", the activation and effects of "Gravekeeper's" monsters activated on your field cannot be negated.

Each time your opponent takes damage from the effect of a \"Gravekeeper's\" monster, except \"Gravekeeper's Khopesh\", inflict 300 damage to your opponent.

If you control a \"Gravekeeper's\" monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this card is Summoned: You can target 1 \"Necrovalley\" card in your GY; Set that target, but banish it during the End Phase of your next turn if it is still on the field. This effect is unaffected by \"Necrovalley\".
