General Tips

• This card can be searched by "Fiendsmith Tractus", "Chaos Zone", and other generic searchers.

Summoning

• "Five Star Twilight" can easily produce 5 differently-named "Kuriboh" monsters for this card's Special Summon.

• The effect of "Ojamagic" can produced 3 differently-named cards for this card's Special Summon.
  • If that card is discarded to activate the effect of "Ojama Country", the Special Summoned "Ojama" monster can potentially serve as another card for this card's Special Summon.

• This card can potentially be viable in "Performapal" Decks, since they have many different card effects capable of accumulating more cards, such as the draw effects of "Performapal Guitartle" and "Performapal Lizardraw", as well as the search effects of "Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer", "Performapal Pinch Helper", "Performapal Skullcrobat Joker", and "Performapal Call".
  • In a similar way, this card can also potentially be viable in "Melffy" Decks.

• This card can be easily Summoned in a "Zefra" Deck, given the search power provided by "Zefraath", "Zefraniu, Secret of the Yang Zing", "Oracle of Zefra" and "Zefra Providence" and the Pendulum Summon of up to 5 different monsters.

• The effect of "Tethys, Goddess of Light" can be abused in multiple ways in order to gain a sufficient number of differently-named cards for this card's Special Summon.

• In a "Ancient Gear" Deck, a combo of "Ancient Gear Catapult" and the effect of "Geartown" can be used to produce 4 cards with different names.
  • In this case, "Ancient Gear Catapult" is used to destroy "Geartown" and Special Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster. Afterwards, the effect of "Geartown" should be used to Special Summon a different "Ancient Gear" monster. At least 1 of these Special Summoned monsters should be "Ancient Gear Wyvern", so that its effect can be triggered to add "Ancient Gear Box" to the hand, whose effect should also be triggered to add a different "Ancient Gear" monster to the hand.
    • If "Machine Duplication" is available for use, then the other Special Summoned "Ancient Gear" monster should be "Ancient Gear Gadget", so that more copies of "Ancient Gear Gadget" can be produced, which can then use their effects to treat themselves as different "Gadget" monsters. Overall, this provides another 2 differently-named cards for this card's Special Summon.

• "Numeron Network" can be used to summon the four "Numeron Gate" monsters, which in combination with "Memories of Hope" will give the player at least five cards on field and four in hand.

Traditional Format

• This card's effect can easily produce an OTK if it shuffles a face-up "Serpentine Princess" from the field into the Deck (with its effect, not its Summoning procedure). That monster's effect can be used to Special Summon "Speedroid Terrortop". Then, the effect of "Terrortop" can be used to search "Speedroid Taketomborg", which in turn can use its effect to Special Summon "Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice". The effect of "Red-Eyed Dice" can be used to make "Terrortop" Level 4, setting up the Synchro Summon of "Hi-Speedroid Chanbara". The ATK-gaining effect of "Chanbara" combined with its ability to attack twice yields a total amount of 4600 battle damage, plus this card's ATK, resulting in 8000 battle damage.
