Floowandereeze Rulings you NEED to know (Win mirrors, don't miss Raizas), plus...the EMPEN SHUFFLE!

Hey y'all, what's up! We didn't forget the birds, and we're back today talking about some rules regarding how you can miss an activation of a Floowander effect and how you can use that to help win mirrors, a lot about Winds, and a high roll combo I call the Empen Shuffle!

[@CocTheElf]

Yeah, I prioritize Unexplored Winds in the mirror match. It's an actual win condition (taking into account that you play well). Love how the birds are so simple, but at the same time they are ruling nightmares.

[@jing4122]

Thats a neat combo at the end with empen, im still learning to pilot this deck so the earlier rulings definitely helped

[@keasbeytcg]

Glad it helped! If you (or anyone) have any other questions, feel free to ask, happy to help (or even make follow up videos!)

[@Orion1205]

@@keasbeytcg Wouldnt the advent need to be set to do that combo on the opponents turn? You only had the trap set and the winds on the field and eglen and advent in hand.

[@keasbeytcg]

@@Orion1205 Correct yes, that was an edit mistake on my part. The replay from EdoPro has it set up properly

@@keasbeytcg Ok, was just making sure as I am a returning player and havent played since teledad was top dog. Chose Floo to play and learn the format with and have been consuming as many floo videos as I can.

@@Orion1205 that was a good catch, yes though, that was a video edit mistake. Best of luck with Flo!

[@ZShenlong1]

Great mirror match we just had on EDO (I'm Soul Resonance) Time for me to brush up on the mirror since it happens so infrequently.

[@keasbeytcg]

Yes! You played it well! Was a great game!

[@TheFrostHydra]

Another good example is something like: Trade in -> discard Danger Bigfoot for cost -> opponent chains DD Crow targetting Bigfoot in grave You draw 2, but since Bigfoot did not activate in the chain before it had its discard location changed, it no longer meets its initial effect activation condition.

[@thisisit595]

Going to a regionals in a few days, decided that I should look up videos to get refresh on some rulings and goddamn that last combo line is spicy

[@keasbeytcg]

Best of luck! Show em how the birds win!

[@swift0sword679]

Just found your channel, its been helping me think of my Floo combos in a new light. Have you thought about doing a deck list for Master Duel since that has a fairly restrictive ban list for Floo

[@Angels-Haven]

hot damn that last play, I gotta remember that one

[@danielvasco6687]

Awesome tips, thanks.

[@pepp23]

Thank you ❤

[@michak.6736]

Thank you for the detailed explanation, that really helps understanding how the whole archetype works. I will try my best with this deck on my locals tomorrow but it feels like there is still a lot to learn to master those birds. I will main the three feather storm over the dark ruler no more by the way :)

[@keasbeytcg]

Best of luck to you! I do personally prefer the DRNM in the main with Storm in the side just in case you lose the die roll, but just make sure you at least have DRNM in the side if you want to main Feather Storm!

[@michak.6736]

@@keasbeytcg thank you- i have it in the side deck and i see your point as you mentioned it in your extended deck profile. But for some reason it feels safer for an unexperienced flunder player like me to have the feather storm in the main deck. I will see how it goes and hopefully not lose again to crusadia-kaijus :D

[@keasbeytcg]

@@michak.6736 Totally! Do whatever feels correct! And again, best of luck!

[@michak.6736]

@@keasbeytcg Thanks again :) If you don't mind- i got one more question: why arend you playing the simorgh of perfection as it also chain blocks (doesen't work in simulators) and can be an extra normal summon as well as a dark monster for potential link plays?

[@keasbeytcg]

@@michak.6736 No worries! So, I just think it's kind of added bulk to the deck that you don't need. Going 2nd into an established board, DRNM (or BoM if you're playing that) can help take out negates, and going first, 3 Maps (4 technically with terraforming lol) and a Gold Sarc offer a lot of protection from Ash/Gamma. All and all, it's just that I don't think they offer enough of a boost to the deck and that the space could be better used for more utility/other consistency cards

[@aglovecraft]

Great in-depth video, learned a lot! Can you do a video on how to out Geomathmech Final Sigma?

[@keasbeytcg]

So my two most recent highlight some Ex Deck plays that can be adapted to out Sigma, but down the line i can make a specific one!

[@SoulNinjaKen]

The easiest way I can think of describing the Pen and field spell thing is, this is what happens 1, 2, opponent bird. Which isnt apart of the chain so it's a 1, chains only go up. So this would be a 1 2 1 situation, where there is no 3. So if 2 can get past 2nd 1. 2nd 1 doesnt get to happen

[@miguelmadrigal8195]

Awesome video

[@keasbeytcg]

Thank you!

[@ivanZ.4]

Is Floowandereeze map 1 per turn per copy Or hard 1 per turn Throws me off because it’s says effect instead of activate

[@keasbeytcg]

So the actual effects are each a hard OPT, but you can activate multiple Maps in the same turn. You CAN use both effects same turn (only really occurs in the mirror tho)

[@asdfasgdfgsd107]

I have a question about activating the trap to the resolution of a chain with dpe instead of on activation?

[@keasbeytcg]

Sure thing whats up?

[@asdfasgdfgsd107]

@@keasbeytcg chaining the trap to the resolution of dpe. But when I though about it, I realized that it would just be popping the trap either way. I figured you could chain to resolution of an effect like droll but I figured that. Activating the trap after the dpe wouldn't help

[@keasbeytcg]

@@asdfasgdfgsd107 yeah its rough w DPE cause its non targeting. If you wait, DPE pops the trap. You have to shotgun it BEFORE they use DPE, that way they can pop your birds before they trigger. If you chain Dreaming Town to DPE as CL2 they can just destroy whatever you summon on CL1 and itll never trigger

[@asdfasgdfgsd107]

@@keasbeytcg activating it on fusion summon probably works alright. I never played the deck heavily during its peak. I have been playing it nonstop since I picked it up. I really like how it plays. I was just thinking of a way to play around the dpe problem. Normally my nonengine takes care of that. Books that is.

[@keasbeytcg]

@@asdfasgdfgsd107 yeah, Dreaming Town gets awkward sometimes w Non Targetted removal, but Book is solid for DPE!

[@HyperKnuckles01]

Have you done anything in regards to Raye in GY vs Unexplored Winds sending a Sky Striker link?

[@keasbeytcg]

So, this WOULD trigger Raye, because it isn't being Tributed like a Kaiju, but sent via card effect, hope this helps!

[@reisen9584]

I want to ask, does empen battle effect affect the card that has unaffected by other cards? Also, does the unexplored winds doesnt work on crooked cook? I tried it, but my card couldnt tribute my opponent's crooked cook (with unaffected by any other card effect setup)

[@keasbeytcg]

So first question is no, since Empen is still another card, if something is unaffected, Empen can't reduce the attack. And Unexplored Winds will not work on anything unaffected by other cards, since you are sending something to grave via it's continuous effect. It's not like a Kaiju, for example, where tributing an opp's monster is a condition of its summon

[@reisen9584]

​@@keasbeytcg ok thanks, so how do floo deck usually out something with very high atk monster, or maybe unaffacted by card effect and cant be destroyed by battle monster? We cant use kaiju in floo deck, right? Since kaiju is special summoned.

[@keasbeytcg]

@@reisen9584 Correct on the kaijus! So, we have a few options. In theory, we kinda could use Kaijus, but it would cost a turn of combos (tho if you drew a crazy hand its do-able, but not consistent enough). Wing Dragon of Ra Sphere mode is one option, tho the monster you'll probably have the most issues with is Geo Mathmech Final Sigma. You have to dig into the extra deck for that. If you check out the Floowander Playlist, I have two videos on using the Ex Deck to out floodgates, but it also talks about lines to out Geo Mathmech (and Arrival @Ignister, tho not specifically mentioned, Flo can make a 5300 Accesscode in a pinch).

[@DisciplesOfEmpen]

All Hail Emperor Penguin 🐧 floowandereeze best deck.

Just wait until the next video, it shows off the "Empen Shuffle" taken to the extreme!

[@aerialjohn8631]

I just have a question on unexplored winds. I tried using it on edopro and i couldn't send my opponent's monster to grave to summon my empen/raiza/apex. Is there some situations you cannot use unexplored winds? It seems I don't understand it properly

[@keasbeytcg]

Hmm weird! If the monster is unaffect like Mathmech Final Sigma. Or if Zombie World was live, since it is still treated as a tribute summon

[@aerialjohn8631]

@@keasbeytcg it was none of these situations, so yeah I don't understand what happened

[@keasbeytcg]

@@aerialjohn8631 Can you describe the full situation? You don't actually "activate" Winds, but at the time of preforming a Tribute summon, edo pro will give you an option to Tribute summon, then you can arrow over on the box to an option that says something like "tribute summon Unexplored winds"

[@aerialjohn8631]

@@keasbeytcg I just followed the robina eglen empen line, but when i searched empen, edopro asked me if I wanted tu tribute summon, i clicked yes and then i couldn't choose the opponent's monster

[@keasbeytcg]

@@aerialjohn8631 Thats very weird, unless the monster is specially unaffected by spells/effects or zombie world was up, there's no reason you shouldnt have been able to, unless it's a glitch in edopro

[@inmortales1]

Robina C1, Ash C2, Book of Moon C3. Does Robina Resolves ?

[@keasbeytcg]

No, Ash wouldn't resolve. This would protect from something like Imperm, since it's a targeted negate and needs to be able to interact with its still faceup target at res. Ash, since it interacts directly with the effect and not the card, doesn't care about the effect's original card being facedown.

[@kourygg8738]

what happen to unexplored winds and a unaffected monsters???

[@keasbeytcg]

So if a monster is full on unaffected, like Geomathmech Final Sigma, then youre out of luck. But if it's something like Misc. that specificies "Activated Effects" Winds will still hit them because its effect doesnt activate. Hope that helps!

[@paradoxgrey8753]

What are some ways to counter zombie world with floow

[@keasbeytcg]

So I side cosmics/main feather duster, those are two easy ones. You can go heavier on S/T removal as well. The other option is extra deck plays. Prominade Thrush is 2 lvl 1s and can shuffle away a S.T. Honestly, a lot of times Zombie World forces me into the extra deck to clear it

[@unitofmeasurementlover]

Does winds trigger mirrorjade?

[@keasbeytcg]

Yes, since Winds effect is whats causing it to be able to be removed, it will trigger. Raiza is generally the cleanest out available if you don't wanna trigger MJ

@@francescolandi2025 Glad that it helped! Yeah, the Raiza thing is something I've seen a lot of confusion about with Winds (sending instead of Tributing but still being treated as a Tribute summom haha), and yes, Winds working as many times as possible per turn is amazing!

[@ChefAwesome2010]

Any help with working around gamma

[@keasbeytcg]

So, Gamma is tough if you don't open map, but if you do have Map and Robina, you can summon barrier statue early, which cuts off gamma since it can't summon. I also play Gold Sarc personally, which can also establish a chain block. All and all Gamma is a tougher one to play around, really statue and chain blocks are the only outs

[@keasbeytcg]

If you run ash or belle, you 100% can stop the first gamma activation, but keep in mind gamma isnt OPT, so only ash/belle it if can establish yourself through the 2nd gamma-able activation, if that makes sense

[@keasbeytcg]

One other option is, if you have map and multiple birds, is tossing a robina out before playing map to bait out the gamma, its a prime target, then playing accordingly from there. Depending on your hand composition, if you have toccan or eglen, it can go a few ways. They may want to wait to gamma eglen, in which case, establish statue off robina, then you can resolve eglen with the map in hand. Its a bit riskier because you do play into other hand traps potentially, but if you're certain gamma is all that you need to worry about it's another option
