Card Tips:Mark of the Rose
- This card can be searched via "Hidden Armory", "Armory Call", "Ashoka Pillar", "Noble Knight's Spearholder", "Tool Box", "Infernoble Knight - Roland", "Gearbreed", "Power Tool Dragon", "Vylon Cube", "Vylon Delta", "Power Tool Braver Dragon", "Vylon Sigma", "Mikanko Rivalry", "Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu", "Fairy Tail - Rella", "Courageous Crimson Chevalier Bradamante", "Glory of the Noble Knights", and other generic searchers.
- In a Plant Deck, if there is no relying on Summoning monsters from your Graveyard, this card can be used as a "cost-less", "Brain Control".
- Comboing "Lonefire Blossom" and "Botanical Girl" will easily give Plant monsters in your Graveyard to use for this card.
- Use this card and "Vengeful Servant" to take control during your turn and inflict damage to your opponent during their turn.
- Keep in mind: this combo will damage yourself during your turn. There are some strategies that can counter this:
- "Black-Winged Dragon" can add a Black Feather Counter to itself when this combo targets you.
- "Life Stream Dragon" can prevent yourself from taking damage completely, but it is difficult to Summon, due to its strict Synchro Material requirements.
- "Prime Material Dragon" can allow yourself to gain Life Points from this combo instead of taking damage. However, it is also valid remember that if there is this face-up "Prime Material Dragon" on the field, your opponent will also gain Life Points in your End Phase, instead of taking damage. To prevent it, yeither 1 "Bad Reaction to Simochi" or 1 "Darklord Nurse Reficule" can be used. The effect of "Prime Material Dragon" would turn the damage into Life Points, but "Bad Reaction to Simochi" Or "Nurse Reficule" will turn that amount into damage again.
- Another good card to use with this combo is "Des Wombat", as it reduces any effect damage to your Life Points to 0, while your opponent still keeps taking the damage.
