• This card can be searched by "Gallant Granite", "Shell Knight", "Doki Doki", "Shadow's Light", "Chaos Zone", "Link Party", and other generic searchers.

• This card can be Tribute Summoned with one Tribute by using "Kaiser Sea Horse". It can also be Summoned without Tributes by using "Mausoleum of the Emperor", but its first effect won't be used.

• "Dimension Guardian" and "Safe Zone" are Continuous Trap Card options that can protect this card from being destroyed, while "March of the Monarchs" is a Continuous Spell Card option that can protect this card from being targeted or destroyed by card effects.
  • In turn, these cards also benefit from being protected by this monster's effect.
  • "Battle Royal Mode - Joining" is also a Continuous Spell Card that can potentially protect this card from being destroyed by battle, up to twice per turn.
  • "Decisive Battle of Golgonda" is also a Continuous Spell Card that can protect a card(s) its controller controls from being destroyed, once per turn.

• In terms of Continuous Spell Cards, useful 'floodgate' options include cards such as "Chain Energy", "Corridor of Agony", "Clockwork Night", "Deck Lockdown", "Degenerate Circuit", "Dimensional Fissure", "Earthshattering Event", "Goddess Skuld's Oracle", "Ground Collapse", "Kaiser Colosseum", "Legacy of the Duelist", "Level Limit - Area B", "Messenger of Peace", "Poisonous Winds", "Power Filter", "Prohibition", "Slow Life", "Summoning Curse", and "Terminal World NEXT".

• In terms of Continuous Trap Cards, useful 'floodgate' options include cards such as "And the Band Played On", "Anti-Spell Fragrance", "By Order of the Emperor", "Cloak and Dagger", "Discord", "DNA Surgery", "DNA Transplant", "Dragon Capture Jar", "Goblin Fan", "Gozen Match", "Grave of the Super Ancient Organism", "Gravity Bind", "Hollow Giants" "Imperial Iron Wall", "Light-Imprisoning Mirror", "Lose 1 Turn", "Macro Cosmos", "Mask of Restrict", "Mimesis Elephant", "Mind Drain", "Mistake", "Narrow Pass", "Non-Fusion Area", "Rebirth Judgment", "Respect Play", "Rivalry of Warlords", "Royal Command", "Royal Decree", "Royal Prison", "Sanguine Swamp", "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror", "Skill Drain", "Soul Drain", "Sour Scheduling - Red Vinegar Vamoose", "Stygian Dirge", "Summon Limit", "Synchro Zone", "The Emperor's Holiday", "The Monarchs Erupt", "There Can Be Only One", "Toll Hike", "Transmigration Break", and "Underdog".
  • However, "Skill Drain" (and "Underdog" during the opponent's turn) will negate this card's protective effect too; "The Monarchs Erupt" may be a better option.
  • "Sanguine Swamp" benefits greatly from this card's last effect, as it won't be destroyed by its own effect (although it will still self-destruct during its user's 2nd Standby Phase after activation).

• Continuous Spell Cards that can help one accelerate through their Deck include: "Advance Zone", "Goblin Circus", "Shard of Greed", "Card Trader", "Guarded Treasure", "Spell Chronicle", "Supply Squad", and "Tool Box".
  • For Traps, "Dark Factory of More Production" is an option.

• This card can be useful in Decks that utilize "Destiny Board", since its effect can potentially retrieve "Destiny Board" from the Deck, as well as using its other effect to protect "Destiny Board" and its "Spirit Message" cards being destroyed.

• This card can be useful in "Bamboo Sword" Decks, by potentially retrieving either "Burning Bamboo Sword" or "Soul Devouring Bamboo Sword" from the Deck, while using its other effect to protect all face-up "Bamboo Sword" cards from being destroyed by card effects.

Traditional Format

• This card's effect can be useful for retrieving cards like "Kaiser Colosseum" or "Vanity's Emptiness".
  • "Vanity's Emptiness" benefits greatly from this card's other effect, which protects that Trap Card from destroying itself with its effect.
