| Summary
| - Whether or not you were disappointed by the copious amounts of weeding done by the March 2012 Banlist, I can assure you that this guy definitely wasn't - "Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity" carries the Wind-Up archetype into a turbulent upcoming format, ruling alongside Inzektors and "Rescue Rabbit" Decks.
Those who were present during the late-September 2011 Format will be well-acquainted with this beast of an Xyz Monster. Alongside the advent of "Wind-Up Shark", "Zenmaity" brings Wind-Ups to a whole new playing field in the TCG. The first thing that one thinks of when they hear of Wind-Ups is "the loop" - the infamous Wind-Up loop that can shed more than half of an opponent's opening hand, leaving them with little to strike back with. This is made possible by "Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity".
Let's take a look at what makes it tick - "Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity" is a Rank 3 Xyz Monster that can be Summoned with any 2 Level 3 monsters. By detaching an Xyz Material from it, the user can Special Summon any "Wind-Up" monster from their Deck or their hand. Seems harmless enough at first glance, until one combines this effect with "Wind-Up Hunter" and "Wind-Up Rat" - two of the other pieces of the frightening puzzle.
Being a Rank 3 Xyz Monster, "Zenmaity" is accessed instantly through the ever-popular "Tour Guide From the Underworld", adding ferocious consistency when summoning this monster. It can also be summoned through the combination of "Wind-Up Shark" and any of the several Level 3 "Wind-Up" monsters, including "Wind-Up Rabbit" and "Wind-Up Hunter". Once summoned, it can begin a flurry of Xyz Summoning.
With "Wind-Up Shark" in hand - a feat made far easier through the use of "Wind-Up Factory" - the loop can be started by detaching an Xyz Material to Special Summon "Wind-Up Hunter", bringing "Wind-Up Shark" onto the field using its own effect. "Hunter" then tributes "Zenmaity", causing the opponent to discard 1 card. "Shark" becomes Level 3 and overlays with "Hunter" to summon a second "Zenmaity" who detaches an Xyz Material for "Wind-Up Rat". Using "Rat", the player can Special Summon "Hunter", tribute the "Zenmaity" to force a second discard and then continue the loop by overlaying with "Rat".
This means that a simple opening hand of "Tour Guide From the Underworld" and "Wind-Up Shark"/"Wind-Up Factory" can leave the opponent with 3 cards in their starting hand to face down a powerful Rank 3 monster such as "Wind-Up Zenmaines" or "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon". With the aid of "Pot of Avarice", the loop can be lengthened to discard their entire hand, leaving them with very few options from Turn 1.
Along with this devastating loop, "Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity" also helps to set-up other mighty "Wind-Up Shark" plays, including the summoning of powerful Rank 5 monsters such as "Tiras, Keeper of Genesis", "Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh" and "Adreus, Keeper of Armageddon". Make no mistake - Wind-Ups will be a very real threat in the upcoming format, difficult to prepare for and even more difficult to survive.
