• This card can be searched by "Serpentine Princess", "Vampire Dragon", "Rai-Mei", "Photon Veil", "Charge of the Light Brigade", "Baby Raccoon Ponpoko", "Baby Raccoon Tantan", "Obedience Schooled", "Super-Nimble Mega Hamster", "Key Mouse" and "Shining Angel".

• This card can be very powerful by using its effect to send the top three cards to the Graveyard, which could turn out to be cards like "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast", "Treeborn Frog", "Destiny HERO - Malicious", "Volcanic Shell", who all work very well in the Graveyard or any monster that could be brought back.

• This card works great in a Zombie Deck. You can get almost any good Zombie card in the graveyard and either revive it (with "Il Blud", "Zombie Master" etc.), or use its effect (like "Mezuki").

• Use the card in a Gemini monsters Deck to mill monsters in to the grave for later revival by "Black Brutdrago", "Blazewing Butterfly", "Phoenix Gearfried" or "Supervise".

• This card can help meet the summoning conditions of "Woodland Archer".

• Being a LIGHT Beast-Type monster, this can work well with "Ojama" and/or "Raccoon" monsters, particularly if the Deck contains only Beast-Type monsters, as it won't affect "Solidarity".

• This card can combo with "Gladiator Beasts". It makes a good bluff when your opponent thinks that "Gladiator Beast Hoplomus" is face-down. Also, its milling effect can be useful for when you use "Gladiator Beast Equeste" to bring them back to your hand.
  • However, since most "Gladiator Beast" decks only run few monsters, this card will most likely mill Spell/Trap Cards rather than Monster Cards, so be careful.

• This card can be Special Summoned by "Debris Dragon". You can Normal Summon "Debris", bring this card back, and if you have "Doppelwarrior" in hand you can Special Summon it and Synchro Summon a "Scrap Dragon".
  • If you don't, you can still use it for Synchro Summoning "Orient Dragon" or "Iron Chain Dragon".

• Ironically, this card sees more play OUTSIDE of the Lightsworn deck. They usually only use 1 or 2 as it is deemed too "slow". However in decks such as Plants and Flamvells it sees play in three, as it fuels your graveyard with "Dandylion" and "Spore" and provides fuel for "Rekindling".

• In Gusto decks, this card can be useful as Side Deck card for countering many Side Deck cards like "Vanity's Emptiness", "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo", "Macro Cosmos", etc.
  • If you mill any Gusto monster this way, you can shuffle them back into your Deck later with "Caam, Serenity of Gusto" or other Gusto support cards.
  • It also works nicely with "Junk Synchron", whose commonly found in most pure-ish Gusto decks.

• This card can mess up your opponent's activation timing for certain card effects such as "/Assault Modes", "Pinch Hopper", "Geartown", "Black Brutdrago", etc.

Traditional Format

• This card can be searched by "Rescue Cat", "Sangan", "Last Will" and "Witch of the Black Forest".
