• This card can be searched via "Sangan", "Last Will", "Mystic Tomato", "Reinforcement of the Army", "Elemental Hero Stratos", and "Dark General Freed".

• If "Destiny Hero - Defender" is face-up on your side of the field during your opponent's Standby Phase, he/she draws 1 card. While this may look bad, you can chain "Appropriate" to this card, so every time he/she draw a card through "Destiny Hero - Defender"'s effect, you draw 2 new cards. This combo is extremely good for Exodia decks because you draw 2 cards each turn.

• This card also works great with "Protector of the Sanctuary". Thanks to "Protector of the Sanctuary"'s ability, your opponent cannot draw the extra cards because of "Destiny Hero - Defender"'s effect.

• Although extra cards can help your opponent, if you have 2 or more of these face-up on the field in Defense Position, your opponent can mill through his/her Deck rather quickly. Especially if it's at the minimum 40.
  • Special Summon this card (through "Destiny Hero - Fear Monger" or any other revival cards) and then play "Inferno Reckless Summon", bringing three copies of this card onto the field. This will make your opponent draw a total of 4 cards each turn. This will allow you to mill through your opponent's deck in under 9 turns. You can further this process along with "Needle Worm" and "The Gift of Greed". To ensure your opponent cant use many cards against you, activate "Enervating Mist" and "Spatial Collapse", so that most of his surplus cards are sent to the Graveyard.

• Summon three of these and activate "Greed". Your opponent loses 1500 Life Points per turn and his/her deck gets milled. Then tribute them for "Destiny Hero - Dogma" and cut his/her life points in half.

• Combining with "Skill Drain" prevents your opponent from drawing extra cards.

• "Robbin' Goblin" works well with this card. If you also use "Staunch Defender", "Battle Mania", etc. you can take advantage of your defender's effect, making your opponent discard cards quickly and deal damage.

• A possible OTK with this card would be a defense position defender, "All-Out Attacks", and "Ojama Trio".

• This card works well with "Weapon Change".

• "Silent Magician LV4" works very well with him.
