** "[[Malefic]]" Decks can also benefit, as not only is this card a Field Spell (which their monsters need to avoid self-destruction), but it also destroys the "Malefic" monsters (replacing them with an equivalent "[[Mask Token]]"), allowing the "Malefic" user to circumvent their monsters' ubiquitous  <nowiki>'</nowiki>''There can only be 1 "Malefic" monster on the field.''<nowiki>'</nowiki> effect and self-destructive effect.

*** However, it is also important to note that the common "Malefic" monster effect <nowiki>'</nowiki>''Other monsters you control cannot attack''<nowiki>'</nowiki> will still apply to the "Mask Tokens"; therefore, this strategy is most effective when only 1 "Malefic" monster is Summoned per turn.

** "[[Timelord]]" Decks can benefit from using this card, since practically none of their monsters can't be destroyed by card effects, therefore leaving only the opponent affected by it.

** By destroying a monster such as "[[Baobaboon]]", "[[Marshmacaron]]", or "[[Reborn Tengu]]", whose effect Special Summons more copies of itself, this card's effect can help enable Xyz and Link Summons.

** This card's effect can be useful for triggering monster effects that only activate when destroyed by a card effect, such as "[[Mystic Potato]]" and "[[Necro Fleur]]".
 +
*** This also applies for card effects that activate when another monster(s) is destroyed by card effect, such as "[[Crimson Gaia]]", "[[Curse of Aramatir]]", "[[Dark Hole Dragon]]", "[[Loop of Destruction]]", and "[[Supply Squad]]".
  
* The effect of "[[Puppet Plant]]" can be used to take control of a Mask Token for a turn.
+
* Since "Mask Tokens" are Level 1, "[[Opti-Camouflage Armor]]" can be easily used with them.
** Note that cards like "[[Owner's Seal]]" and "[[Remove Brainwashing]]" will '''not''' give you control of all "Mask Tokens" on the field. Tokens are owned by the player who performs their Special Summon, and "Ecole de Zone" specifically has the destroyed monster's controller Special Summon the Mask Token that replaces it.
 
  
* This card is extremely powerful in a "[[Malefic]]" Deck, as the Mask Tokens preserve their very high ATK but none of their negative effects. And as the Tokens are not "Malefic" monsters, multiple monsters with massive ATK can be summoned immediately.
+
* Since this card's effect produces Spellcaster-Type Tokens, cards such as "[[Last Day of Witch]]" and "[[Puppet Plant]]" can be used to take advantage of this.
** Combine with "[[Malefic Truth Dragon]]'s" effect that allows it to be Summoned from the Graveyard, so you can pay half your Life Points to get 2 [[Mask Token]]s with no negative effects off of every Summon, one with 5000 ATK.
 
  
* Use against [[Xyz Monster]]s to essentially negate their effects (as the Tokens will have no [[Xyz Material]]s).
+
* Since this card's effect forces the turn player to Special Summon a "[[Mask Token]]" (as opposed to the controller of this Field Spell performing the Special Summon), it can be useful for forcing limitations to be reached for cards such as "[[El Shaddoll Winda]]" and "[[Summon Limit]]", as well as cards like "[[Gozen Match]]" and "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]".
  
* Use with monsters that have effects that activate when they leave the field, are destroyed, or are sent to the [[Graveyard]].
+
* "[[Decisive Battle of Golgonda]]" can be used together with this card to prevent its user's monsters from being destroyed by this Field Spell's effect.
  
* Monsters that cannot be destroyed by card effects such as "[[Archfiend Zombie-Skull]]", and cards like [[Egyptian God Card]]s that do not allow effects to be activated in response to their Summon, will not be destroyed by "Ecole de Zone", but they will also not be able to attack directly.
+
* "[[Inari Fire]]" can be a useful monster to pair with this card, since it only Special Summons itself during its owner's next Standby Phase (if destroyed by a card effect). Therefore, its Special Summon is usually its owner's first Summon that turn, allowing the owner to Summon other monsters safely for the rest of the turn.
  
* Note that this card does not destroy [[Flip Summon]]ed monsters, so use with monsters that have [[Flip Effect]]s and/or effects that trigger when flipped face-up.
+
==''Tag Force'' tips==
 +
* Since this card's effect does not activate for [[Flip Summon]]s, Setting monsters can help avoid its destructive effect.
  
* Equip a powerful Token with "[[Opti-Camouflage Armor]]" so it can attack directly.
+
* If the player controls a sufficiently high-Level monster while "[[Level Eater]]" is in their Graveyard, "Level Eater" can activate its effect multiple times (being destroyed by this Field Spell's effect each time) to produce "Mask Tokens" en masse, which can be taken advantage of in various ways.
 
 
* If you have a high-[[Level]] monster and this card on the field, you can use one "[[Level Eater]]" in your Graveyard and Summon it multiple times to swarm the field with Tokens as it will be immediately destroyed each time.
 
 
 
* This card can be used in a "[[Crystal Beast]]" Deck to quickly get them in your [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]]s; then you can switch the [[Field Spell Card]] with "[[Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins]]" to change tactics.
 
 
 
* In a Deck spearheaded by this card, [[List of Monster Token support cards|Token support cards]] like "[[Imitation]]", "[[Token Thanksgiving]]" or "[[Token Feastevil]]" can be very useful, mainly considering the last 2 cards affect your opponent's monster as well, which may easily get rid of your opponent's strongest monsters while inflicting damage to them or increasing your Life Points.
 
 
 
==''Tag Force Special'' tips==
 
 
 
* "[[Inari Fire]]" can Special Summon itself turn after turn under "Ecole de Zone". Unlike similar monsters such as "[[Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys]]", "Inari Fire" does not destroy your own cards upon reviving. It can also Special Summon itself from the hand if you control Mask Tokens, or from the Deck with "[[Jigabyte]]".
 
 
 
* Between the destruction of the summoned monsters and the destruction of the Tokens themselves, the effect of "[[Supply Squad]]" can trigger multiple times.

  • Since this card's effect does not activate for Flip Summons, Setting monsters can help avoid its destructive effect.
  • If the player controls a sufficiently high-Level monster while "Level Eater" is in their Graveyard, "Level Eater" can activate its effect multiple times (being destroyed by this Field Spell's effect each time) to produce "Mask Tokens" en masse, which can be taken advantage of in various ways.
