Card Tips:Reaper on the Nightmare

"Reaper on the Nightmare":

This card can be Special Summoned with "Summoner of Illusions". It can also be Fusion Summoned with "Instant Fusion".
- This card is great for Synchro Summoning. Fusion Summon it with "Instant Fusion", then tune it with a Level 2 or 3 Tuner for a powerful Synchro Monster.
- In a Zombie Deck, "Reaper on the Nightmare" can be revived with cards like "Book of Life" and "Mezuki" so that it can have its effects and attack again if it was properly Fusion Summoned by "Instant Fusion".
- After being Summoned by "Instant Fusion", this card can be Summoned from the Graveyard with "Book of Life".
- Using "Instant Fusion", this card is an easily Summoned Xyz Material for "Crimson Knight Vampire Bram".

Use this card for the effect of "Hundred Eyes Dragon" so it can become a 3000 ATK direct attacker that can also discard cards from your opponent's hand.

Use this card with "Spirit Barrier" to hit your opponent's Life Points and discard one card from their hand while not taking any damage from their battle.

For easier Summoning of this card, use the effect of "The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion".

Use "Messenger of Peace" to allow this card to attack and prevent your opponent from attacking.

Don't try to equip this card with any Equip Cards, as they will destroy it.
- However, if you first de-power this card with Forbidden Chalice or Skill Drain, you can equip it with cards that will remain in play once its effects return.

This card works well with "Centrifugal Field", since it can only be destroyed by an effect, and "Spirit Reaper" can be brought back as a quick stall until another copy of this card is Summoned.

"Castle of Dark Illusions" provides a nice (and typically unexpected) way to power up this card without it destroying itself. "Mystic Plasma Zone" and (to a lesser extent) "Banner of Courage" can also help.

Use this card with "Robbin' Goblin" to deplete your opponent's hand very quickly. Similar cards, such as "Robbin' Zombie", can also prove effective.

"Archfiend Zombie-Skull" makes this card indestructible.
- With both monsters on the field, equip this card with "Fusion Weapon".

"Dark Illusion" is excellent for protecting this card, making it immune to cards like "Dark Core".

Use "Instant Fusion" to Summon this card, then Tribute it for "Crush Card Virus".

Never use "Future Fusion" to Fusion Summon this card, since "Future Fusion" targets a monster on the field and this card will be destroyed by its own effect.
