"Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth":
  • To Summon this card, you can banish monsters from either side of the field; you don't need to control all of the Ritual, Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Monsters.
  • Pendulum Monsters are helpful for assembling the resources needed to summon this card.
  • Use "Instant Fusion" when you are ready to Summon this card, as it provides a Fusion Monster that is destroyed during the End Phase.
    • Fusion Summon "Elder Entity Norden" with this card, then use its effect to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Ritual/Synchro Monster that was properly Summoned.
      • However, if the Summoned monster is Level 4, you can use them for an Xyz Summon instead. When that Xyz Monster is sent to the Graveyard, you can later use "Soul Charge" to Special Summon those 3 kinds of monsters.
  • Use "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" or "Dimensionhole" on another monster before Special Summoning this card. This will allow you to bring it back at the end of your turn, giving you another monster to work with after this card's effect goes off.
  • "D.D. Dynamite" could potentially be devastating if played after summoning this card.
  • Before Summoning this card, use "Gold Sarcophagus" to banish "Gren Maju Da Eiza" for a possible OTK in the next turn; your opponent will have only one drawn card to stop it.

Useful Decks

  • If there is already a Synchro Monster on the field, you can easily Summon this card with the following cards:
