* [[Book of Moon]] - This card is very useful in a Gladiator Beast deck. It can save your own monster from "[[Mirror Force]]" or "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]", it can temporarily stop Continuous Monster Effects that prevent you from using certain cards (e.g. "[[Jinzo]]" and "[[Stardust Dragon]]") but most importantly, it gives you a defensive target for your Gladiator Beast to safely attack into without worrying about cards like "[[Honest]]" and "[[Kalut]]". Also, if the monster has very high defense, all the monsters you control can ram into it allowing each of them to tag out and use their effects for a relatively small trade off. Alternatively, you can chain this card to "[[Gladiator Beast Darius]]", flipping Darius face-down before Darius' effect resolves. When Darius' effect resolves and revives the Gladiator Beast monster, that monster's effect will not be negated as the negation effect is Continuous and Darius is now face-down.

* [[Waboku]] - This card is almost identical to "[[Defensive Tactics]]", but unlike Defensive Tactics, it can be activated if you control no face-up Gladiator Beasts, or no monsters at all, so you can use it if you play a weak Gladiator Beast in face-down Defense Position, trigger it when the opponent declares an attack, then summon a Gladiator Beast afterwards.
