Card Tips:Archfiend Emperor, the First Lord of Horror
- This card can be searched by "Archfiend Heiress", "Archfiend Palabyrinth", "Pandemonium", "Skilled Red Magician", "Dark Spirit's Mastery", "Doomdog Octhros", "Sky Scourge Cidhels", "Lucent, Netherlord of Dark World", "Ahrima, the Wicked Warden", "Chaos Zone", "Magical Contract Door", "Link Party", and other generic searchers.
- This card can be Tribute Summoned with one Tribute using "Double Coston" and "The First Monarch", or with no Tributes using "Sinister Yorishiro".
- Keep in mind that this card banishes Archfiend cards, not necessarily monsters. Thus, for example, you can use "Archfiend's Roar" to Special Summon this card, then banish "Roar" to destroy a card your opponent controls.
- If the banished card is a DARK monster (and most Archfiends are) you can use "Escape from the Dark Dimension" to summon it, possibly on the same turn you banish it.
- You can even summon two copies of this card in one turn this way.
- If this card destroys itself in the End Phase by its own effect, it can trigger the effect of "Pandemonium", allowing you to search almost any "Archfiend" monster from your Deck. This works well with "Supply Squad" as well and even starts a chain if both "Pandemonium" and "Supply Squad" are on the field at the same time.
- This card could work well in a Skill Drain Deck. Keep in mind however that any cards that negates it's effects such as "Breakthrough Skill" will not prevent it's own self destruction if you normal summon without tribute.
- This card works well with "Supply Squad", "Forbidden Chalice" and "Archfiend Palabyrinth" if you normal summon without tribute.
