- You can summon three copies of this card with "Machine Duplication". If you already control a Level 4 Monster, you can then use one of them to Synchro Summon a Level 6 Synchro, and then use another to summon a Level 8 Synchro, like "Stardust Dragon". If you already control a Level 6 monster, you can then use one of them to Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend". then use the other two to Synchro Summon "Red Nova Dragon". Best used with "Destiny HERO - Malicious" or "Chaos Sorcerer", as they can be special summoned easily.
- This card gives you more opportunities to use "Karakuri Klock" since your opponent is encouraged to attack it twice, and (unlike most other Karakuries) it is likely to survive if attacked while face-down.
- Though "Shinkuro's" stats are low, its endurance makes it a good defense. You can summon it with "Machina Armored Unit" or "Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane" if you need a quick defense.
Traditional Format[edit]
