If your opponent suspects you have are trying to activate "Gorz, they may attack starting with the weakest monsters and work their way up. Summon him when you take little damage and your 's" [[tokeneffect]] can be attacked and destroyed.

"[[Waboku]]", "[[TributeMessenger of Peace]] or for a " and "[[Synchro SummonDimension Wall]]" are good examples of cards to use until you draw "Gorz".

* Since this When faced with multiple monsters attacking directly, it's important to choose when to summon "Gorz". If your opponent suspects you have "Gorz", they may attack starting with the weakest monsters and work their way up. Summon him when you take little damage and your [[Token Monster|token]] can be attacked and destroyed. Wait until the final and most powerful monster attacks and you'll have a powerful [[Token Monster|token]] (perhaps even more powerful than "Gorz") and your opponent's attribute monsters won't be able to change to defense mode because they attacked. But this advantage is at the cost of a lot of [[LIGHTLife Points]], not to mention that it gives your opponent time to either play or set cards that can potentially counter "Gorz" and/or the token you may have summoned. Also, your opponent may choose to not attack with their last (strongest) monster, and repeat this tactic again the next turn.** For this reason, you should consider summoning "Gorz" when you take substansial damage, unless "Gorz" is weaker than your opponent's strongest monster. Your opponent may not attack the effect of [[Honest]]token if they have several weak monsters.

* If you know your opponent has The token summoned by "Gorz in their hand and are pretty sure they won't summon it until your most powerful monster attackss" effect can be used for as a [[Tribute]], the following might be or for a smart move to make. Attack with your weaker monsters first making the opponent anticipate your strongest monster[[Synchro Summon]]** Since this token's attack. But don't attack with your most powerful monster and end your turn. Your opponent will be put in a tough spot on their turn if they really need to get Gorz out and '''will have to''' attribute is [[LIGHT]], it can take damage next turn and/or not commit many cards to the fieldeffect of "[[Honest]]".

* If you know your opponent has "Gorz" in their hand and are pretty sure they won't summon it until your most powerful monster attacks, the following might be a smart move to make. Attack with your weaker monsters first making the opponent anticipate your strongest monster's attack. But don't attack with your most powerful monster and end your turn. Your opponent will be put in a tough spot on their turn if they really need to get "Gorz" out and '''will have to''' take damage next turn and/or not commit many cards to the field. *One of the most likely scenarios for the summoning the card is when you have run out of cards on the field to block your opponent's attacks. It only adds to the mayhem because just when your opponent thinks they have the upper hand, you pull back the tide because of "Gorz". This seems the most effective use of "Gorz", even though this method requires taking damage from the last monster that attacked, regardless of the attack of that monster. As such, the token summoned along with [["Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]] " will be weaker than when used as bait for a stronger monster's attack, but at least you have [["Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]] " on the field. Be careful, though. If [["Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]] " is not strong enough to take down the strongest monster on your opponent's side of the field, you will be back where you started.

* Both "Gorz " and its summoned token are excellent sources for material monsters in the summon of a level 8 or higher Synchro monster. * "Gorz" is a great top deck after using an effect monster like "[[Sky Scourge Norleras]]" or "[[Gandora the Dragon of Destruction]]". Even more so for decks based around "Sky Scourge Norleras", as it can be used as material to summon yet another Sky Scourge when it is sent to the graveyard. * If you use "[[A Feather of the Phoenix]]" to place "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness" from the Graveyard to the top of your deck, you can activate "[[Reversal Quiz]]", and have a 2700 attack [[Beatstick]] and the token just waiting to end the duel, since your opponent will likely have very low lifepoints if you guess monster. Since you will have no monsters on the field, and your opponent probably will, they would probably attack you directly. There will be no way you will get it wrong since you placed "Gorz" on the top of the deck. * Summon "Gorz" without the risk of Battle Damage by keeping only an "[[Enchanted Javelin]]" on the field and using it when a powerful monster attacks. Because it's activated during the Battle Step rather than the Damage Step, "Enchanted Javelin" will resolve before damage is taken, essentially canceling out damage to your life points, as well as clearing your field before the Damage Step, allowing you to summon "Gorz". * You may use "[[Sky Scourge Norleras]]'" effect to clear the whole field and hands, then if you draw "Gorz" with "Norleras'" effect, your opponent shall have to contend with "Gorz's" effect, leaving them with no path to escape. * If you choose to allow a monster to attack you directly in order to summon "Gorz" and bring out an Emissary of Darkness Token, use cards like "[[Banner of Courage]]" that boost attack after "Gorz" is summoned, to make the "Emmissary of Darkness Token" stronger than the monster that provided it's Attack and Defense Power. This is particularly effective against monsters that are substantially stronger than "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness" itself, which would allow the Emissary of Darkness Token to attack and destroy monsters such as "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]" without destroying itself in a [[suicide]] attack, allowing for the potential for two [[Beatstick]] monsters.

*You can Tribute "Gorz is a great top deck after using an effect monster like [[Sky Scourge Norleras]] or [[Gandora the Dragon Emissary of Darkness" and the Emissary of Destruction]].

*You may use Try to Summon "Gorz" when both he and the Token will survive. That way, you can Summon another level 7 (any Dragon Ruler, for example) to overlay "Gorz" and the new level 7 for "[[Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack]]". "Dracossack" will then be safe from cards like "[[Sky Scourge NorlerasBottomless Trap Hole]]' effect " due to clear the whole field and hands, then if you draw Gorz with Norleras' effectyour Emissary of Darkness Token, your opponent shall have which can either be used to contend with Gorzattack/defend while the 2 Mecha Phantom Beast Tokens are Tributed for "Dracossack's " effect, leaving them with no path to escape.

===Countering Gorz===*If you choose to allow a monster to attack you directly in order to summon Gorz and bring out an "Emissary of Darkness TokenUse ", use cards like [[Banner of CourageArchlord Kristya]] that boost attack after [[Gorz]] is summoned", to make the "Emmissary of Darkness Token" stronger than the monster that provided it's Attack and Defense Power. This is particularly effective against monsters that are substantially stronger than [[Gorz Jowgen the Emissary of DarknessSpiritualist]] itself, which would allow the "Emissary of Darkness Tokenor " to attack and destroy monsters such as [[Blue-Eyes Ultimate DragonFossil Dyna Pachycephalo]] without destroying itself in a [[Suicide]] attack, allowing for " to prevent the potential for two opponent from Special Summoning "Gorz".** "[[BeatstickConsecrated Light]] monsters" can also be used.
