• This card can be searched via "Sangan", "Last Will", "Witch of the Black Forest", "Giant Rat", "Warrior Lady of the Wasteland" and "Reinforcement of the Army".

• If you have two or more "Marauding Captains", none of your Warrior monsters can be attacked, including the "Marauding Captains". Unlike other monsters with similar effects, this one can be exploited quickly and easily by using Marauding Captain's effect to summon the second one.

• "Marauding Captain" can be equipped with "Heart of Clear Water" to prevent it from being destroyed by battle or effects that target as long as its ATK remains below 1300, thereby protecting your Warriors for longer periods. This usually works well if he's mixed into Hero decks and such, but beware if you're using cards such as "The A. Forces" or other cards that increase ATK.

• Use this card's effect to summon a Tuner Monster, then use the two for a quick Synchro Summon. This is very useful with "Goyo Guardian" as you simply need a Level 3 Tuner to bring it out, and many Tuners are Level 3.

• Use "Cost Down" to get Level 5 and 6 monsters out along with this card.

• This card works well by Special Summoning "Hand of Nephthys", "Mystic Swordsman LV4" or "Rare Metal Dragon".

• You can use "Double Summon" in order to first Normal Summon two "Marauding Captain"s, and Special Summon two other monsters. This can be an advantage for Synchro Summoning, sending cards to the Graveyard for cards like "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler", or just loading the field.

• You can special summon Command Knight so neither of them can be attacked then, no target can be selected for an attack
