- This card can be searched via "Witch of the Black Forest".
- Because Manticore is hard to search due to its high ATK and having no dedicated search card, a good way to get it out is with Foolish Burial, which then you can either resurrect it with it's own effect (if you have an applicable monster), or simply use Monster Reborn. You can simply use Generation Shift to get the other one out from your deck. This has become somewhat easier due to Manticore now being Unlimited, thus allowing you to draw it faster. In Exodia decks, consider using several Deck-thinners and recruiters (both for defense and tribute fodder for this card), as well as cards such as Magical Mallet and Card Trader to send back unwanted recruiters.
- Recruiters such as Hyena, Nimble Momonga, Giant Rat, and Bubonic Vermin can all be included in the same deck to thin it out, as well as be excellent candidates for Manticore.
- Manticore of Darkness x2 (one in the Graveyard and one in your hand)
- Card of Safe Return (now banned as of September 2009)
- Manticore of Darkness' effect allows you to Tribute a monster from the hand or field in order to special summon Manticore of Darkness from the graveyard, while Card of Safe Return allows a duelist to draw a card each time a monster is special summoned from the graveyard. Repeat the process as much as you want to draw as many cards as you want.
- This can transform Muka Muka (or a similar card) into an OTK card.
- Generation Shift can be used to search for the second Manticore of Darkness. To be used during the opponent's turn, of course.
- Solemn Wishes can be used with this combo to gain lots of life points.
- Once you have one Manticore in your hand, simply use Foolish Burial to get the second one out of your deck and into the graveyard.
- An Exodia Deck can benefit from the drawing power of the Manticore of Darkness loop as well.
- Since this combo is used during the End Phase,use the following trick to make an OTK:
- Step 1: Make sure it is your End Phase.
- Step 2: Make sure at least 2 Magical Explosions are on your field, face-down.
- Step 3: Use the loop till you have no more cards in your Deck.
- Step 4: Discard as Spell Cards from your hand as possible due to the hand size limit.
- Step 5: During your opponents turn activate the "Magical Explosions" and win the Duel.
