Answer

Ruling: Yes, Zero Drive can play opponent's units that were banished by its Deathknell effect, even though those units go to their owner's banished zone.

Sequence:

  • Gain control of opponent's unit (e.g., via Hostile Takeover)
  • Equip Zero Drive to that unit
  • The unit dies and is banished by Zero Drive's Deathknell
  • The unit goes to opponent's banished zone but is tracked as banished by Zero Drive
  • Zero Drive's ability can play that unit from opponent's banished zone

Nuances:

  • Units are always banished to their owner's banished zone, not the controller's
  • Players typically place cards banished by Zero Drive physically under it for tracking purposes
  • This interaction works similarly to comparable effects in Magic: The Gathering
