* This card can be [[Tribute Summon|Tribute Summoned]] with one tribute using "[[Double Coston]]".

* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Starliege Seyfert]]", "[[Bystial Magnamhut]]", "[[Magical Contract Door]]", "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]", "[[Dragon's Glory of Light and Dark]]", "[[Draconnection]]", "[[Krystal Dragon]]", "[[Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon]]", "[[Dharc the Dark Charmer, Gloomy]]", "[[Chaos Zone]]", "[[Piri Reis Map]]", "[[Umbramirage the Elemental Lord]]", "[[Sangan]]", "[[Witch of the Black Forest]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Monsters|generic searchers]].

* Before "[[Gandora the Dragon of Destruction]]" is destroyed by its effect, use "[[Metamorphosis]]" to summon "[[Cyber Twin Dragon]]".
+
* This card can be [[Tribute Summon]]ed with one [[Tribute]] using "[[Double Coston]]", "[[Totem Dragon]]", "[[Keeper of the Shrine]]" and "[[The First Monarch]]".
  
−
* You can use "[[Ceasefire]]" or "[[Book of Taiyou]]" to get this card on the field without Summoning it, thus it will not be sent to the Graveyard by its own effect.  Through this, Gandora will not only stay on field, but will keep the ATK points it gains from using its effect (vs losing them via the reset from face-down or RFG tactics).  This will be a cumulative gain, especially since Gandora is not restricted to once per turn.
+
* "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]" and "[[Star Blast]]" are economical ways of Summoning this card, since their LP costs essentially mean only an extra 1000 LP is paid for this card's effect (as compared to Summoning this card normally and then using its effect).
  
−
* Gandora is a great fodder for [[Reversal Quiz]] OTK combos, due to being able to use his effect multiple times in a turn with minimal restriction.
+
* Monster such as "[[Dynatherium]]" and "[[Gilasaurus]]" are ideal monsters to use for this card's Tribute Summon, since their effects can provide an additional monster for this card's effect to destroy and banish.
  
−
* Using a [[DNA Surgery]] combo in conjunction with [[Telekinetic Charging Cell]], the cost for Gandora's effect can be nullified, thus reduced to zero, albeit for only one turn due to the nature of his effect.
+
* Since this card has an original ATK of 0, and its effect drastically reduces one's own LP, it pairs quite well with "[[Unstable Evolution]]".
  
−
* You can easily [[Tribute Summon]] this card with "[[Fires of Doomsday]]" or "[[Stray Lambs]]" and [[Tribute Set]] it.
+
* This card's effect works well with the effects of cards that activate when they themselves are banished, such as "[[D.D. Survivor]]", "[[D.D. Scout Plane]]", "[[Xyz Dimension Splash]]", etc.
  
−
* This card can be used with "[[Crush Card Virus]]" to great effect.
+
* This card's End Phase effect can be avoided by either of the following methods:
−
**"[[Deck Devastation Virus]]" and "[[Eradicator Epidemic Virus]]" could also potentially use this card, depending on the number of cards destroyed and removed from play for its effect; however, since this card eliminates all other cards on the field prior to gaining attack, these traps would need to be set afterwards, and since this card is destroyed at the end of the turn, these traps would become useless.
+
** First [[Tribute Set]]ting it, then using a card like "[[Book of Taiyou]]" to change it to face-up Attack Position.
 +
*** "[[Fires of Doomsday]]" and "[[Stray Lambs]]" are efficient cards to use for this, since their effects prevent its activator from Summoning other monsters during the turn they're activated (which Tribute Setting avoids).
 +
** [[Banish]]ing it temporarily before returning it to the field, such as by the effects of "[[Dimensionhole]]", "[[Future Visions]]", "[[Interdimensional Matter Transporter]]", etc.
  
−
* "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]" is great with this card as it allows you to keep monsters you have as food for this beastly card.
+
* If this card is able to avoid its End Phase effect, it is best to use cards that produce Tokens in order to capitalize on its destroy-and-banish effect, such as "[[Scapegoat]]", "[[Scapeghost]]", "[[Grinder Golem]]", "[[Phantom Skyblaster]]", etc.
  
−
* This card works fairly well with a Deck based on removing things from play, also know as a Macro Deck. This is because you can use Macro's "[[D.D. Survivor]]" and "[[D.D. Scout Plane]]" as Tribute fodder, and because this card's field nuke attack removes cards from play when it destroys them.
+
* Before this card gets sent to the Graveyard by its End Phase effect, it can still be utilized for the cost of cards like "[[Advance Draw]]", "[[Mystik Wok]]", etc.
  
−
* This card can be deadly against a [[Crystal Beast Deck]].
+
* This card is a good card to banish by the effect of "[[Phantom of Chaos]]", since that monster's effect can be made to 'expire' during the End Phase before its gained End Phase effect activates.
  
−
* You can use [[Dimensionhole]] to keep this card on the field since it will remove it from play on the turn Gandora was summoned, meaning that the turn's End Phase that it would have been "sent to the Graveyard" has been legally skipped and Gandora will be able to stay as long as you want.
+
* In a [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] Deck, this card's effect works well for clearing the field before making an aggressive play by Special Summoning "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" (by banishing this card) and then using its effect to Special Summon another Dragon-Type monster for subsequent [[direct attack]]s.
  
−
* Use [[Herald of Creation]] to return this Dragon to your hand.
