Card Tips:Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8
- This card can be searched by "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6", "Level Up!", "Walls of the Imperial Tomb", "The Melody of Awakening Dragon", "Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos", "Hiita the Fire Channeler", "Starliege Seyfert", "Bystial Magnamhut", "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms", "Dragon's Glory of Light and Dark", "Draconnection", "Krystal Dragon", "Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon", and other generic searchers.
- You can Special Summon this card with "A Wild Monster Appears!".
- This card does well in "Destruction Sword" Decks, since they more or less focus on performing Lockdowns.
- This card works great in a combo with "Jinzo", "Royal Decree" or "The Dragon's Bead". This combo would make it so that the only effects that your opponent can use are Effect Monster effects.
- In addition to the lockdown combo above, you can also include "Dark Ruler Ha Des" or "Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou" for a more complete lockdown by preventing Effect Monster effects when "Dark Ruler Ha Des" destroy an opponent's monster by battle.
- You can also use this card with "Destiny HERO - Plasma" instead of "Dark Ruler Ha Des" to nearly finish the Lockdown.
- However, keep in mind that "Plasma" only negate in-field effects, so cards like "Effect Veiler" can still activate.
- If you draw this card, use cards like "Reload", "Card Trader", "Good Goblin Housekeeping", "Lighten the Load" or "Magical Mallet" to put this Dead Draw back in the Deck.
- Combine this card with "Tyrant's Temper" along with cards like "Skill Drain", "Mind Drain", "Soul Drain", and "Gravity Bind" to prevent your opponent from using monster effects and most traps.
- Since many traps activate during the Battle Phase, use "Mirage Dragon" and "Pitch-Black Warwolf" with this card.
- Using this card with "Arcana Knight Joker" will eliminate the need for Spells in your hand for Joker's effect, so you can focus on having Monsters and Traps in your hand.
