Zealantis OTK Misplays To Avoid (Help prevents Slow Play) - Find the Illegal Play!

[@MSTTV]

The actual answer for the “misplay” around 15:00 Summon Zealantis: effect keep poplar. Summon princess. Summon raging Phoenix. Summon amblowhale co-link with zealantis. Go into relinquish anima absorb kirin. Battle… if all else fails zealantis pop at amblo and resummon the Princess via Amblo effect. That works out without the lock and extra damage can be pushed without Kirin popping right? I’m sure everyone that called it out saw it too?

[@MSTTV]

I left the misplay in ,because I planned for you to call it out, as you should, also if I called you out on stream now its less mean because get to be like “hey, you did it too”, some of you got it, while others kinda missed the point.

[@threeinitiates8260]

Thanks! As a Marincess player this really helps as well. I've been finding it quite funny that a fire deck has been handling a big water beast like Zealantis in their decks ahahaha

[@GameAnt123]

Enjoyed your YCS commentary today. Excited for future (Branded) Chimera vids. Feels like when I don't pull off Barrier Statue of the Abyss cheese via Chimera, it's an uphill battle.

[@MSTTV]

Yes

[@YGOKingPhil]

14:35 You could also bench one of your opponents monsters with flamberge here

[@Neptune8]

How do I counter this card , I keep losing to it, every deck that can link some how link towers into this and kills me

[@tlecvalidor7133]

But Zalantis said to summon in defense position, why can u summon in attack?

[@SphaxWinny]

14:50 cannot summon anima when princess is on the field

[@ATGLorcana]

You can just make Anima before princess, it was a sequencing issue not an illegal board in the end.

[@christophergusikat5574]

@@ATGLorcana no you cant, if you summon anima before princess u cant put it into the extra monster zone after zelantis effect

[@PurpIeHavoc]

Anima has a up pointing arrow, you cannot summon princess @@ATGLorcana

[@franyard8783]

Thanks Tom,also just in case you have an unused kirin in that last puzzle you could just destroy ponix and kirin,summon back ponix,destroy one and just get lethal

[@MSTTV]

We are simplifying the states with less noise this is a deck where the lines need to address every GY monster. Rather than constantly adding more exceptions we just kept going as if they are blanks

[@kanemello]

It's suboptimal to put princess to the left of zealantis. In some lines, you'll also make knightmare phoenix to the left of zealantis. This will make them co-linked, which gives you a draw 1 and an additional pop of zeal.

[@MSTTV]

Umm, zealantis only cares about the total co-linked monsters on the field and not just the ones with itself. Check the text, I think it’s what it says

[@kanemello]

@MSTTV it does say that, so in practice you could shove phoenix in the far left zone, then revive princess between them for them to both be co linked to princess, but this loses both potential zealantis pops to grave snipe cards like belle and crow. just linking phoenix directly to the left of zealantis would let you keep 2 zeal pops even if princess is sniped, and I'd imagine if people have called by or belle or crow, there's a chance they'd save them for princess so it's not a super niche scenario

[@Ruby_Mullz]

Gotta love master duel making Zielantis automated. Normally if I’m going for this line I keep the witch on board for the extra damage through the combo. I’m hoping raging phoenix will get released soon, but I would’ve thought about the accidental misplays, because banishing and summoning back is one of those rulings everyone forgets how it works.

[@dage2079]

New sub Great explanations Just got a snake eye deck Still working out the kinks

[@TheStivers1]

Why wouldn’t the pros run volcanics emperor, trooper and 3 rimfire? Fire ejection?

[@johno.8089]

What happens if Princess activates in grave to target 2 monsters to destroy, but my opponent dodges the target by tributing their monster? Does princess still go off even if the effect doesn't destroy both monsters?

[@higeki3232]

Duuuude always appreciate your ruling videos!!!

[@remylordski]

Tip for editor during combo layout recenter Tom’s camera he is not in frame a lot of the time

[@MSTTV]

I don’t have an editor and I move around during combo I like the taller view and it’s all 1 scene

[@remylordski]

Oh sorry thought you recorded in 3840x1080 then edit the camera to be in that format all good😅… still a amazing video my guy

[@remylordski]

[@demetriusforbesiii9705]

I’m confused I thought princess fire locks you how can you go into zelantis?

[@Babyboyjr94]

Can you play without princess? Like if I get reaper

[@braxtoncomix]

Is the Anima + Zealantis combo only playable in this deck? I want to try testing it in Dinos before committing it it

[@LuckyLucho_01]

If you have a level 1 monster and you can reach a link 4, you can do it

[@johntorres532]

Hopefully fire players don't get zealantis banned. Cause I play it in marincess and it sucks getting hit due to others bs.

[@bagface4914]

Fire locked by princess cant go anima “Misplay”””

[@crack.d]

This is why I subscribe to this guy. Innovation and breakdown. Appreciate the good looks brotha 🤙

[@SpaceCityGamingTCG]

so question, when you use zealantis effect to banish the field and you control a monster that was special summoned off of hit, when it returns to the field I was told that returns to my field (current controller) and then the game-state recognizes that my opponent is the original owner therefore returns the opponent's field after. (I.E. S:P taken via talents and then banished off effect returning at ep. Returns to controller then to owner). In the scenario mentioned above, if it returns to the controller then the owner, would there even be a window to activate princess ?

[@admus-p6l]

that depends on what effect takes thee control of the monster, if the control is for short time (like end phase etc) like taleents you say: monster is summoned on your field then pass to op field exaclty like you say. but if the control is permanent (like stealth with hiita ) then the monster special to your field, then the monster still on your field

[@MSTTV]

It gets special summoned directly to the owner’s field. Zealantis basically resets the ownership clause. Even if you had permanent control, Zealantis specifically special summons them back to the owner

[@jash3881]

What can lock you fron attacking? Did the combo but was locked to not attack and lost

[@CoreyskillaHoN]

Did you use S:P at any point to banish a card on summon before battle phase?

[@scaregrow1927]

[@xRedZone74]

​@@ATGLorcanaWell not really, since you need to resolve Zealantis to summon the problematic monster in front of the EMZ, at this point you have to summon princess from the GY since it's a trigger effect, you never have the timing to make anima where you wouldn't be locked into FIRE

[@Lobster44]

@@ATGLorcana That doesn't work since princess is a trigger effect that triggers on res of zealantis effect, and you can't make anima before zealantis as the emz is not free until after its effect

It is, at least to trigger Princess in grave. You could still run the Selene/Accesscode line that way you’d be able to summon the last body through Diabellstar or in worst case scenario a droll in hand or grave.
