Card Tips:Veil of Darkness
- This card can be searched by "Rogue of Endymion", "Watch Cat", "Watch Dog", "The Despair Uranus", and other generic searchers.
- "Veil of Darkness" is useful in a "Sky Scourge" Deck as it can fill the Graveyard with DARK, Fiend-Type monsters.
- This card may be useful in Exodia Decks as it can boost drawing power, especially if most of the other monsters in the Deck are DARK.
- Additionally, it is useful to speed the Summoning process of "Exodia Necross" as the Exodia cards can be sent to the Graveyard whilst additional cards are drawn for each.
- If "the Forbidden One" cards are sent to the Graveyard with this card, they can be returned to the hand with "Backup Soldier" or to the Deck with "Pot of Avarice".
- Combo "Veil of Darkness" with the Quick-Play Spell Card "Reload". If any DARK monsters are drawn with the effect of "Reload" during the Draw Phase, they can be sent to the Graveyard to draw an additional card each with the effect of "Veil of Darkness". Continue the process with newly drawn DARK monsters to keep drawing until no more DARK monsters are drawn.
- This is true of any quick play spell card that draws or adds cards to the hand; Monster Recovery and Hand Destruction are also valid.
- This card can be awesome if used in a "Blackwing" Deck, since many "Blackwing" monsters can be retrieved from the Graveyard with certain effects.
- This card is great for sending DARK monsters to the Graveyard for the costs of any of the Dark counterparts. It also can work well in a Zombie based deck, since the Zombies can then be revived to the field.
- Use this card to power-up "Shadow Ghoul" or "King of the Skull Servants".
- Use this card with "Plaguespreader Zombie". Use its effect to place a card such as "Necro Gardna" on top of the Deck to Special Summon it, then possibly perform a Synchro Summon. When that "Necro Gardna" is drawn, send it to the Graveyard to draw another card; "Necro Gardna" is better in the Graveyard than in the hand, anyway.
- "Veil of Darkness" can work well with "Prometheus, King of the Shadows".
- This card works well with "Destiny HERO - Dasher", if it is discarded and the next card drawn is a high-Level monster, it can be Special Summoned the the effect of "Dasher".
- Use this card to get DARK monsters in the Graveyard for "The Dark Creator", "Rainbow Dark Dragon" or "Dark Armed Dragon".
- This card may be useful at "Infernity" Decks. With no cards in hand, a player can draw repeatedly until a non-DARK monster is picked up.
- In a Deck of monsters that are DARK, Normal and/or Fairy-Type, combo this card with "Heart of the Underdog" and/or "Tethys, Goddess of Light".
- This card is a great fuel for Red-Eyes Decks, as it may boost "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon's" power, as well as dump enough Dragons for "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon".
- Consider using this card with the "Djinn of Rituals". These monsters are all DARK, so if a player can keep discarding them to fill the Graveyard, where they can then be used for Ritual Summoning.
- This card works well with "Cyberdark" and "Chimeratech Overdragon" Decks, since most fusions happen in the Graveyard using "Cyberdark Impact!" or "Overload Fusion".
- "Shaddoll" monsters can benefit greatly from this card, as their effects activate when they are sent to the Graveyard by any card effect.
