Tag Force 6 tips

• The effect of "Puppet Plant" can be used to take control of a Mask Token for a turn.
  • 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.
  • 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 Tokens with no negative effects off of every Summon, one with 5000 ATK.

• Use against Xyz Monsters to essentially negate their effects (as the Tokens will have no Xyz Materials).

• Use with monsters that have effects that activate when they leave the field, are destroyed, or are sent to the Graveyard.

• Monsters that cannot be destroyed by card effects such as "Archfiend Zombie-Skull", and cards like Egyptian God Cards 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.

• Note that this card does not destroy Flip Summoned monsters, so use with monsters that have Flip Effects and/or effects that trigger when flipped face-up.

• Equip a powerful Token with "Opti-Camouflage Armor" so it can attack directly.

• 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 Zones; then you can switch the Field Spell Card with "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" to change tactics.

• In a Deck spearheaded by this card, 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.
