• In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses, you can obtain this card by using the Find ability on square "E6" against Mako.

• Use this card to force your opponent to initiate their Battle Phase to trigger effects during it (such as those that force them to attack with their monsters by Evil Hero Malicious Fiend).

• Combine this effect with a card that forces the opponent to skip their Battle Phase, thus skipping their entire turn after they draw.
  • Use "Ojama Trio", "Gilasaurus", and other such cards to put monsters on your opponent's field for this card to destroy without actually allowing your opponent to get his turn.

• One of the biggest virtues of "Timeater" is that without a Main Phase 1, your opponent normally can't Summon and then attack, so you usually have a turn to deal with whatever your opponent Summons in the way of "Timeater".
  • Use cards like "Metalmorph" and "Riryoku" to capitalize off the fact that "Timeater" almost always has the opportunity to attack a monster before the monster can attack it.
  • "Timeater" can also offer a strange warding to monsters that need time to work, like "Stealth Bird" or "Swarm of Locusts", by virtue of keeping your opponent from having usable monsters during their Battle Phase.
