* This card works well against "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]". Chain "Karma Cut" to the negation effect of "Light and Darkness Dragon" to remove it from play, saving yourself from anymore negation as well as preventing its third effect.
+
* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Trap Trick]]", "[[Trap Tracks]]", "[[Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle]]", "[[Lilith, Lady of Lament]]", "[[Triple Tactics Thrust]]", "[[Angel of Blue Tears]]", "[[Farewelcome Labrynth]]", "[[Labrynth Set-Up]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Traps|generic searchers]].

**"Karma Cut" card will also stop your opponent from adding any copies of "Light and Darkness Dragon" from their Graveyard to their Deck with cards such as "[[Pot of Avarice]]" and "[[The Transmigration Prophecy]]".
 
  
−
* This card also works well against [[Harpie]] decks.  Most "Harpy"-based decks employ "[[Hysteric Party]]", which means the opponent will want to fill their Graveyard with "Harpies". By playing this, you can completely destroy that strategy.
+
* This card works well against "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]". Chain this card to the negation effect of "Light and Darkness Dragon" to banish it, saving yourself from anymore negation as well as preventing its third effect.

** Likewise, it works against [[Gusto]] decks too as they often rely on the graveyard to trigger beneficial card effects to their advantage and to set up for the summoning of "[[Daigusto Gulldos]]" and "[[Ultimate Axon Kicker]]". Be careful though as some [[Psychic]] decks may be ready for it with "[[Psychic Feel Zone]]" to use against you as a counter strategy.

* Zombie monsters, especially "[[Zombie Master]]", "[[Mezuki]]" and "[[Goblin Zombie]]", will become their own worst enemy once this card is activated against them.  The pain will increase as the Graveyard begins to accumulate more and more of these same cards.
+
* Use this card alongside with "[[Chain Destruction]]": when your opponent Summons a monster with 2000 ATK or less that is known to be played in multiples, activate "Chain Destruction" and once it has resolved, activate this card targeting the same monster you previously targeted with "Chain Destruction".
  
−
* "[[Chain Destruction]]" together with this card can become a good combo but requires great timing. If an important monster of their themed deck is summoned in any way [e.g. "Zombie Master" or "Mezuki" of Zombie Deck, "[[Gladiator Beast Laquari]]" or "[[Gladiator Beast Bestiari]]" of "Gladiator Beast" Deck ''(take note that you don't use'' "Chain Destruction" ''in response on Special Summon of'' "Gladiator Beast Laquari" ''by the effect of a'' "Gladiator Beast" ''or else you'll miss the timing: instead activate this card already)''] activate "Chain Destruction" ''(don't chain'' "Karma Cut" ''with this card or else you'll miss the timing since the effect of'' "Chain Destruction" ''will still not send them to the graveyard in response of a chain and it will only remove 1 monster instead of all monsters thrown in the graveyard)''. If the effect of "Chain Destruction" resolves successfully, then activate "Karma Cut" afterwards so that it will remove the monster you don't want on the field and all monsters with the same name in the Graveyard too.
+
* This card is an excellent way to safely remove "[[Wind-Up Zenmaines]]", "[[Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons]]", "[[Burning Abyss]]" monsters, "[[El Shaddoll Winda]]", "[[Fire King Avatar Garunix]]" and many other monsters that cannot be destroyed or that would take profit of being so.
  
−
* This card is an excellent way to safely remove "[[Wind-Up Zenmaines]]", "[[Maestroke the Symphony Djinn]]" and "[[Stardust Dragon]]" from the field without triggering their effects, as it does not destroy; just banish.
+
* This card works well against "[[Wight|Skull Servant]]" Decks, as by banishing "Skull Servant", all of the "Skull Servant" monsters in the Graveyard will be banished as well, including "[[Wightmare]]", "[[The Lady in Wight]]" and "[[King of the Skull Servants]]" if any of them are in the Graveyard.
−
** It will also work against monsters whose effects trigger when being destroyed or transfered from the field to the grave, such as "[[Sangan]]" and "[[Mystic Tomato]]" and other searchers OR monsters with effects that can protect themselves from destruction, such as "[[Red Nova Dragon]]" or "Ultimate Axon Kicker".
+
** Note that if your opponent controls "The Lady in Wight", other "Skull Servant" monsters will be immune to this card.
  
−
* This card works well against "[[Skull Servant]]" Decks, as by removing "Skull Servant" from play, all of the "Skull Servant" monsters in the Graveyard will be removed as well, including "[[Wightmare]]", "[[The Lady in Wight]]" and "[[King of the Skull Servants]]" if any of them are in the Graveyard.
+
* This card is also useful as a substitute of many cards, including "[[Raigeki Break]]" and also "[[Sakuretsu Armor]]", because it can't be counteracted by "[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Destruction Jammer]]", "[[Remote Revenge]]", etc.

* This card is also useful as a substitute of many cards, including "[[Raigeki Break]]" and also "[[Sakuretsu Armor]]", because it can't be counteracted by "[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Destruction Jammer]]", "[[Remote Revenge]]", etc.
+
* This card can be useful against "[[Lightsworn]]" Decks (as long as "[[Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid]]" isn't face-up on the field in the first place), since it is very common that the two other copies of the same monster have already been milled.
−
** However be aware that cards that prevent banishment by a player(s), such as "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" and "[[Chaos Hunter]]", stop this card immediately. As do any chainable Monster Effects, Spells and Traps that will make the target be leave the field first before "Karma Cut" can banish it (thus causing it to resolve without effect as the target card is no longer on the field).
 
  
−
* This card is incredibly useful against [[Lightsworn]] decks (as long as "[[Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid]]" isn't face-up on the field first) as you can chain it to almost any monster effect that deck theme can throw at you that is potentially a problem and possibly take out a number of Lightsworn effect monsters in a single hit that may have already been milled to the graveyard.
+
* This card is useful in "[[Fabled]]" and "[[Burning Abyss]]" decks as its discard cost would activate the effect of one of your monsters, and this card can banish a troublesome monster on the opponent's field.
−
** This is most effective against "[[Judgment Dragon]]", "[[Celestia, Lightsworn Angel]]", "[[Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner]]" (if your opponent has already milled the second one to the graveyard as the ''September 2012 ban list'' has it as Semi-Limited) and "[[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]" to remove powerful destruction, mill and field presence cards from being a threat.
 
−
** As a bonus, if you get the right Lightsworn monster [[Banished]] you reduce the chances of your opponent having the necessary requirements to [[Special Summon]] "Judgment Dragon" against you (possibly for the entire game).
