"Creature Swap":

A good monster to give to your opponent is a monster with a Flip Effect that has already been used, or a monster such as "Sangan" whose effect activates in the card owner's Graveyard.

Combo this card with Foolish Revival and Final Attack Orders/All-Out Attacks in order to bring out a colossal monster for attacking at the same turn.

- "Creature Swap" can be considered a staple card for Spirit monster decks. At the end of the turn, the Spirit monster would return to your hand, even if it's on the opponent's side of the field. Use this as an opportunity to use "Legacy of Yata-Garasu". Instead of drawing one card, you would get to draw two due to the Spirit monster on your opponent's side of the field.

If you give your opponent a card that activates from the graveyard after it's destroyed, like "Giant Rat" or "Mystic Tomato", you get benefit from its effect, not your opponent. "Mystic Tomato" is especially potent with this combo because you can search out a "Don Zaloog" or "Spirit Reaper" with it, and will often get to discard a card from the opponent's hand.

You can simply tribute the monster you gain from your opponent to Normal Summon one of your monsters; stronger monsters are ideal targets.

Swap your Attack Position "Marshmallon" to your opponent, and Attack it with all of your monsters to deliver heavy damage. Alternatively, you can use "Arcana Force 0 - The Fool" as it cannot be switched into Defense Position.

"Grinder Golem" can be Swapped, and deliver a massive 3000 points of damage while providing card advantage.

You can swap an "Ultimate Tyranno" while you have any combination of "Blast Sphere", "Zoma the Spirit", "Reflect Bounder", "Amazoness Swords Woman", "Fiend's Sanctuary", or any of the "Yubel" cards for tons of damage.

If you Normal Summon "Malevolent Mech - Goku En" without a Tribute and you don't have a Zombie-Type monster, then use "Creature Swap" to give it to the opponent so that he/she takes 2400 damage and you get to keep a monster.
- This is also a good card to combo with the Equip Spell Card, "Vengeful Servant".

If your opponent only controls monsters with the same ATK, use this card to take control of one of them, then use it to attack another one. In this way you can get rid of 2 opponent's monsters, regardless of their strength.

Use "Creature Swap" in your "Dark World" deck by swapping your "Morphing Jar" or "Rigorous Reaver" so that it becomes the "opponent's card effect..." that is necessary for activating additional effects from cards like "Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World" or "Broww, Huntsman of Dark World", or fulfilling the requirements for "Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World".

Ideally, use this card when your opponent only has one monster on the field, to ensure you get the monster you want. In addition, this card can bypass most monsters that cannot be destroyed by effects, which can be a pain for your opponent, as now he has to think of a way to get rid of the monster without using an effect to destroy it.

Summon "Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame" and Special Summon "Blackwing - Bora the Spear", then use "Creature Swap" selecting "Bora". Destroying "Bora" in battle with "Shura" allows the special summon of a "Blackwing" from your deck.

Use this card on "Zombie Mammoth" if your opponent has no Zombie-Type monsters to deal 1900 damage and leave them with no monster.

Be careful not to steal an opponent's monster with an effect that either activates in the Graveyard or temporarily removes it from the field (i.e. "Stardust Dragon", "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", "Reborn Tengu", or "Sangan"). In the former case, your opponent will still get the effect of that monster (because it activates in their Graveyard); In the latter case, it will be Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field after it re-enters the field.

Volcanic Shell combos very well with Creature Swap because you can use its effect from the graveyard to pull another one from your deck, giving you a perfect monster to trade to your opponent.

You can give your opponent a very weak monster in attack position to use your opponent's strong monster to attack your weak monster, dealing heavy damage.
- Gustos and X-Sabers can exploit this strategy to the fullest, due to those archetypes have decent amount of searcher monsters.
