Tips

Two things you should know

1. Tribute summon supports will be useless

No tribute summon will be performed since you can normal summon a high level monster without a tribute. That meas cards related to tribute summon, like Tribute Doll and Blast Held by a Tribute, cannot play their rolls.

Note that Overwhelm cannot be used because a monster that is tribute summoned should be on the field to activate this trap card.

2. Difficult to remove a monster you control

Since you cannot tribute a monster you control, a few ways to empty a Monster Zone are available, such as performing a ritual summon and activating Spells/Traps including Enemy Controller and Thunder Crash.

From a different perspective, cards represented by Mask of the Accursed and Mystic Box will help you place your opponent's side of the field under your control.
