==Pendulum Zones==

The leftmost and rightmost Spell & Trap Zones are also used as [[Pendulum Zone]]s. Each of these Spell & Trap Zones are only treated as Pendulum Zones if and only if there is a Pendulum Monster in that zone (unless the Pendulum Monster is in that zone as an [[Equip Spell Card]]). If there is a Pendulum Monster in the zone, it is treated as both a Spell & Trap Zone and a Pendulum Zone. If one of these Spell & Trap Zones has a Pendulum Monster in it while the other does not, only the zone with a Pendulum Monster in it is treated as a Pendulum Zone.

Prior to the release of ''[[Starter Deck 2017]]'' in the ''OCG'' and ''[[Starter Deck: Link Strike]]'' in the ''TCG'', the [[Pendulum Zone]]s were distinct zones in which only Pendulum Monsters could be placed. These zones were not Spell & Trap Zones, and Pendulum Monsters could not be played in the Spell & Trap Zones.
