• This card can be searched by "Scrounging Goblin", "Trap Trick", "Trap Track", "Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle", "Lilith, Lady of Lament", "Triple Tactics Thrust", "Angel of Blue Tears", "Farewelcome Labrynth", "Labrynth Set-Up", and other generic searchers.

• Once activated, it is best to send this card to the Graveyard before it resolves, so that it can count itself for an additional drawn card.
  • This can be accomplished via cards like "Emergency Provisions", "Scrubbed Raid", "Full House", etc.
    • With cards capable of sending multiple cards to the Graveyard (like "Emergency Provisions" and "Full House"), this combo is more effective when used with multiple copies of this activated card in the same Chain - for a maximum yield of 12 drawn cards and 3 returned cards.

• An alternative way of capitalizing on this card's effect is by sending 1 or 2 copies of this card to the Graveyard first, since activating this card with no other copies in the Graveyard yields a net loss of 1 card (1 drawn card vs. the activated copy and the card returned to the Deck).
  • This can be done via generic discard costs, "Hand Destruction", "Magical Hats", random milling via "Lightsworn" monster effects, etc.

• This card is best used in Decks that rely on having certain cards remaining in the Deck for use, which are otherwise useless or suboptimal in the hand.
  • "/Assault Mode" Decks, for returning "/Assault Mode" monsters that can only be Special Summoned from the Deck via "Assault Mode Activate".
  • "Destiny Board" Decks, for returning "Spirit Message" cards.
  • "LV" Decks, for returning "LV" monsters.
  • "Metalmorph" Decks, for returning "Metalzoa" and "Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon" that can only be Special Summoned from the Deck by using their own procedures.
  • "Monarch" Decks, for returning copies of "Eidos the Underworld Squire" that are more efficiently Special Summoned from the Deck via the effect of "Edea the Heavenly Squire".
  • Three Musketeers of Face Cards Decks, for making copies of "Jack's Knight" accessible for the effect of "King's Knight".

• "Trap of Darkness" can combo well with this card, but only with more copies of this card in the Graveyard. Multiple copies of "Trap of Darkness" become less effective with this card, since this card is banished when that Trap Card resolves.

• "Thunder Dragon" can combo well with this card, even when no copies of this card are in the Graveyard yet. Assuming the effect of "Thunder Dragon" is used first to add 2 more copies to the hand, this card can return 1 of those copies to the Deck, whereupon the effect of the remaining "Thunder Dragon" in the hand can be used to retrieve that card.
  • This card also solves the potential dilemma of drawing 2 or 3 copies of "Thunder Dragon" before having the chance to use one copy's effect.

• Once all 3 copies of this card have been used, "Mask of Darkness" can be used to retrieve a copy and abuse its effect, with other card effects like "Book of Moon" and "Wind-Up Zenmaister" keeping this combo going.
