This article may require cleanup to meet this wiki's standards. |
- This card can be searched by "Nightmare Throne", "Soul Resonator", "Resonator Command", "Ariane the Labrynth Servant", "Frightfur Meister", "Lucent, Netherlord of Dark World", "Sky Scourge Cidhels", "Creeping Darkness", "Mystic Potato", "Mystic Tomato", "Dark General Freed", "Chaos Zone", "Summoner Monk", "Primathmech Alembertian", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Resonator Engine", "Soul Rope", "Rescue Ferret", "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.
- If there is a "Uni-Zombie" in your Graveyard, this card could be used to banish it, allowing yourself to send another Zombie-Type monster from Deck to grave such as "Mezuki" or "Shiranui Spectralsword".
- Multiple copies of this card can be Special Summoned with "Inferno Reckless Summon".
- Anything that returns banished cards to the Graveyard will allow this card to continue using the effects of the monsters it banishes.
- Since the effect of "Phantom of Chaos" involves banishing Monster Cards from your Graveyard, this cards works well in combo with "Return from the Different Dimension" or "Escape from the Dark Dimension".
- "Gravekeeper's Vassal" can be used to inflict effect damage when destroying monsters in Attack Position, or "Volcanic Doomfire" to destroy all of your opponent's monsters and inflict effect damage when "Phantom of Chaos" destroys a monster by battle (with the effect of "Doomfire").
- This card works well with "Deck Devastation Virus" or "Eradicator Epidemic Virus".
- Using this card's effect, select "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare" to destroy any one monster your opponent controls. They will take damage due to the effect of "Ultimate Nightmare".
- Combine with the "Inferno Reckless Summon" tip above if there are multiple copies of "Ultimate Nightmare" in your Graveyard. This also forces monsters onto the opponent's field for them to destroy; with two or three "Ultimate Nightmares" in the grave, it can even be a One Turn Kill if the monsters have enough ATK.
- Use this card to banish monsters whose effect(s) activate when they destroy a monster by battle, like "Elemental HERO Nova Master" to draw a card, "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" to destroy a monster, "Odd-Eyes Dragon" or "Elemental HERO Flame Wingman" to inflict effect damage, or "Heroic Challenger Warhammer" to equip the destroyed monster to it and increase it's ATK.
- This card is great for mimicking strong monsters that "power-up" like "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" or "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon". "Mystic Wok" can also be used to gain LP before this card is destroyed.
- Use this card to help Special Summon cards that require a certain monster(s) to be offered as a Tribute, like with "Armityle the Chaos Phantasm" and "Gate Guardian", or to perform a Fusion or Synchro Summon.
- Use "Foolish Burial", "Dark Grepher", "Armageddon Knight", etc. to get Fusion Materials in the Graveyard, so this card can substitute for it. This works better with cards that fuse with other monsters on the field, like the "Gladiator Beast" monsters and "Neos" Fusion Monsters.
- Alternatively, this card is great for quickly getting out strong "LV" monsters that require a monster to be destroyed by battle with a lower "LV" monster in order to Summon it, such as "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" or "Armed Dragon LV7". Have a lower "LV" monster in the Graveyard, then use this card to copy that monster's effect for the turn. Once the requirements is satisfied, this card can be level-up during the End Phase, and get the higher "LV" monster from your hand or Deck.
- Another strategy is to use this card's effect to copy and abuse the effect of "Dark Armed Dragon" in your Graveyard.
- Use this monster's effect on the "Sacred Beasts" to gain a huge advantage on the field. If "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder" is chosen, 1000 points of effect damage will still be done if it destroy one of your opponents monsters, and if "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" is chosen, one of your opponent's face-down cards will be destroyed.
- "Phantom of Chaos" can copy powerful cards like "Sky Scourge Norleras" and "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" to get rid of all cards without attacking.
- This card can be used as a side Decking option for most "Lightsworn" Duelists, as it can copy the effect of "Judgment Dragon" or "Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress" to destroy "Light-Imprisoning Mirror" and re-enable the Deck.
- If an "Earthbound Immortal" Deck which uses "Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu" is used, this may be a good card to use since it can inflict effect damage to your opponent's LP using the effect of "Ccapac Apu" (while also boasting a capable 3000 ATK). Just make sure there is a Field Spell Card (or "Earthbound Linewalker") when using this card's effect.
- Equip this card with "Mist Body" so it won't be destroyed by battle when its ATK goes back to 0 at the End Phase. This combo also goes well with "Spirit Barrier", so any battle damage won't be taken when this card gets attacked. Using "Astral Barrier" will prevent battle damage and your opponent won't be able to destroy "Phantom of Chaos" with effects such as "Sasuke Samurai 4".
- Use this card's effect to copy a powerful Spirit monster, and then, during the End Phase, either choose to have "Phantom of Chaos" lose the Spirit monster's effect or to return it to your hand. However, this only works on the turn that "Phantom of Chaos" was Normal Summoned or fliped face-up.
- Use this card to take the effect of a "Fortune Lady Dark", then use "Fortune's Future" to return the "Fortune Lady Dark" to the Graveyard. Attack with "Phantom of Chaos" or another "Fortune Lady" monster to Summon "Fortune Lady Dark" back, netting yourself both Hand and Field Advantage.
- Use this card to copy "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" and its newly gained effect can be used to give another "Blackwing" monster more ATK.
- Use this card to copy "Morphtronic Celfon" and use its effect to Special Summon either "Morphtronic Remoten" or "Morphtronic Scopen" to Synchro Summon "Power Tool Dragon".
- In a "Hopeless Dragon" Deck, use this card to copy the effect of "The Dark Creator", preferably after sending it to the Graveyard with "Trade-In", and Special Summoning "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon". Then use the effect of "Red-Eyes" to Special Summon "Infernal Dragon". When "Infernal Dragon" destroys itself after attacking, Tribute this card to revive it and prevent your opponent from attacking this card to inflict a large amount of damage.
- Use this card to copy "Darklord Zerato" and "Phantom of Chaos" will be destroyed during the End Phase, so the disadvantage of having a monster with 0 ATK left on your field can be avoided.
- This card is very useful in an "Infernity" Deck to remove either "Infernity Necromancer" or "Infernity Mirage" to restart the handless loop to gain the effects of "Infernity" monsters (like "Infernity Archfiend").
- Target "King of the Skull Servants" in your Graveyard and banish it, then discard a "Wightmare" to Special Summon the "King of the Skull Servants" that was just banished. This way there will be another "Wight" monster in your Graveyard and "Phantom of Chaos" will becomes "King of the Skull Servants" to deal with your opponent's monsters and possibly scout out any Traps to save your real "King of the Skull Servants".
- Copy the effect of "Gagaga Magician" to circumvent its Synchro Summoning restrictions and change its Level for an easy Synchro Summon.
- This card is great in a "A-to-Z" Deck as it allows yourself to both use this card as Fusion Material for "VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon" and banish "XYZ-Dragon Cannon" as it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard, but can be Special Summoned while banished.
- "The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode" can be banished from your Graveyard with this card's effect, and then Tribute this card after doing so to Special Summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" with 4000 ATK and DEF. This combo can be used after directly sending "Sphere Mode" to your Graveyard without Summoning it, eliminating the need to Tribute 3 monsters to Normal Summon "Sphere Mode". Alternatively, if "Sphere Mode" is Tributed to Summon "Ra", this combo can be used to Special Summon another copy of "Ra" with high ATK and DEF. This combo can also provide yourself with another chance to Summon "Ra" if your opponent somehow gets rid of "Sphere Mode" before this combo can do so.
Traditional Format[edit]
- This card can be searched by "Last Will".
- This card is amazing for recycling the effect of "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End".
