* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[King of the Feral Imps]]", "[[Reptilianne Echidna]]", "[[Ogdoadic Water Lily]]", "[[Damage = Reptile]]", "[[Viper's Grudge]]", "[[Snake Whistle]]", "[[Reptia Egg]]", "[[Reptilianne Melusine]]", "[[Dark Alligator]]", "[[Oshaleon]]", "[[Animadorned Archosaur]]", "[[Deep Sea Prima Donna]]", "[[Eria the Water Charmer, Gentle]]", "[[Mother Grizzly]]", "[[Ice Mirror]]", "[[Mermail Abyssalacia]]", "[[Shark Cruiser]]", "[[One for One]]", "[[Where Arf Thou?]]", "[[Jack-In-The-Hand]]", "[[Wolf in Sheep's Clothing]]", "[[Little Opposition]]", "[[Mimiclay]]", "[[Packet Link]]", "[[Serpentine Princess]]", "[[Battle Royal Mode - Joining]]", "[[Vampire Dragon]]", "[[Rescue Ferret]]", "[[Umbramirage the Elemental Lord]]", "[[Sangan]]", "[[Witch of the Black Forest]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Monsters|generic searchers]].

* "Sinister Serpent" helps with just about any [[discard]] [[cost]].
** Use "Sinister Serpent" combined with "[[Snipe Hunter]]" for potential free destruction each turn.
** This card can be used to keep "[[Yubel]]" on the field long enough to evolve it into its [[Yubel - Terror Incarnate|second stage]].
** This card works very well in a "[[A-to-Z]]" Deck, due to the [[Fusion Monster]]s' discard effects.
** This card works extremely well with "[[Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]", enabling its controller to use its effect at least once per turn.
** This card can also work well in "[[Frog]]" Deck if the effect of "[[Swap Frog]]" is used.

* Use "Sinister Serpent" in combination with "[[The Dark Door]]" to always have a monster to prevent the opponent from being able to attack directly.

* "[[Foolish Burial]]", "[[Snake Rain]]", "[[Skreech]]" and "[[Shore Knight]]" can be used to quickly send "Sinister Serpent" from your Deck to your Graveyard.
** It's also a convenient choice for when an opponent inflicts damage with "[[Vampire Lord]]" or "[[Vampire Lady]]" and selects [[Monster Card]].

* The card's drawback with the new errata makes using it difficult. "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" can remove the drawback, as can "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]" (but only once).

* Note that even after this card's erratum, it can still be reused every other turn (instead of once every turn).

* This card works extremely well with "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]", enabling its controller to use its effect at least once per turn.

==Traditional Format==
* This card can be searched by "[[Last Will]]".
