• "Sinister Serpent" helps with just about any discard cost.
  • Use "Sinister Serpent" combined with "Snipe Hunter" for potential free destruction each turn.
  • This card can be used to keep "Yubel" on the field long enough to evolve it into its second stage.
  • This card works very well in a "A-to-Z" Deck, due to the Fusion Monsters' discard effects.
  • This card works extremely well with "Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier", enabling its controller to use its effect at least once per turn.
  • This card can also work well in "Frog" Deck if the effect of "Swap Frog" is used.

• Use "Sinister Serpent" in combination with "The Dark Door" to always have a monster to prevent the opponent from being able to attack directly.

• "Foolish Burial", "Snake Rain", "Skreech" and "Shore Knight" can be used to quickly send "Sinister Serpent" from your Deck to your Graveyard.
  • It's also a convenient choice for when an opponent inflicts damage with "Vampire Lord" or "Vampire Lady" and selects Monster Card.

• The card's drawback with the new errata makes using it difficult. "Imperial Iron Wall" can remove the drawback, as can "Burial from a Different Dimension" (but only once).

• Note that even after this card's erratum, it can still be reused every other turn (instead of once every turn).

• This card works extremely well with "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier", enabling its controller to use its effect at least once per turn.
