* When your opponent controls only one extremely strong monster summon a weak monster and swap it for your opponent's strong card.
+
* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Triple Tactics Thrust]]", "[[Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Spells|generic searchers]].
−
 
+
* In a "[[Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon]]" Deck utilising "[[Impcantation]]s" in order to facilitate its summon, you can trade a Main Deck "Impcantation" monster in [[Defense Position]] with one of your opponent's monsters. As [[Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon]] has 4000 ATK and the ability to deal double [[piercing]] battle damage, and all Main Deck "Impcantations" have 0 DEF, you can easily OTK your opponent with just one attack.
−
* Never activate this card when your opponent has more than 1 monster in their monster card zone unless they have the same attack, then use this card to take control of one of them, then use it to attack another one. In this way you can get rid of 2 opponent's monsters, regardless of their strength.
+
* This card is best used when your opponent controls only one strong monster or only one monster you want to get rid of (typically an indestructible monster).
−
 
+
** If your opponent controls no monsters, you can give him one with cards such as "[[Grinder Golem]]", [[D.D. Guide]], [[Shien's Spy]] or "[[Foolish Revival]]" (if there is a monster in your opponent's graveyard).
−
* A good monster to give to your opponent is a monster with a [[Flip Effect]] that has already been used, or a monster such as "[[Giant Rat]]", "[[Mystic Tomato]]" or "[[Sangan]]" whose effect activates in the card [[owner]]'s [[Graveyard]] then you get benefit from its effect, not your opponent. "Mystic Tomato" is especially potent with this combo because you can search out a "[[Don Zaloog]]" or "[[Spirit Reaper]]" with it, and will often get to discard a card from the opponent's hand.
+
** If your opponent controls more than 2 monsters use monster destroying cards such as [[Fissure]] or [[Nobleman of Crossout]] to get rid of the smaller ones.
−
 
+
*** "[[Mind Control]]" can also be used to steal a monster you do not want and give you a monster to trade.
−
* This card can bypass most monsters that cannot be destroyed by effects, which can be a pain for your opponent, as now he has to think of a way to get rid of the monster without using an effect to destroy it.
+
*** [[Wattpheasant]]'s effect can remove one monster you do not want from play or allow you to get back the monster you gave.
−
 
+
** Be careful not to steal an opponent's monster with an effect that either activates in the Graveyard or temporarily removes it from the field (i.e. "[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Reborn Tengu]]" or "Sangan"). In the former case, your opponent will still get the effect of that monster (because it activates in their Graveyard); In the latter cases, the effects resolve while in the (hand, banished, or) the graveyard of the owner, so you would not get to steal the effect.
−
* "Creature Swap" can be considered a staple card for Spirit monster decks. At the end of the turn, the Spirit monster would return to your hand, even if it's on the opponent's side of the field. Use this as an opportunity to use "[[Legacy of Yata-Garasu]]". Instead of drawing one card, you would get to draw two due to the Spirit monster on your opponent's side of the field.
+
* This card is best used when you control a weak monster  in Attack Position, a monster with negative effects for the controller or a monster that will disappear by the end of the turn.
−
 
+
** Swap a weak indestructible monster such as "[[Marshmallon]]" in Attack Position to your opponent. [[Arcana Force 0 - The Fool]] is probably the best choice as it sports 0 attack and cannot be switched into Defense Position, essentially giving your monsters the ability to attack your opponent directly.
−
* Use it tribute the monster you gain from your opponent to [[Normal Summon]] one of your stronger monsters.
+
** Monsters with a [[Flip Effect]] are usually weak, lose most of their utility once that effect has been used and end up in attack position when flipped.
−
 
+
** This card works well with "[[Treeborn Frog]]".
−
* Combo this card with [[Foolish Revival]] and [[Final Attack Orders]]/[[All-Out Attacks]] in order to bring out a colossal monster for attacking at the same turn.
+
** "[[Volcanic Shell]]" combos very well with "Creature Swap" because you can use its effect from the Graveyard to pull another one from your Deck, giving you a perfect monster to trade to your opponent.
−
 
+
** "[[Gusto]]s" and "[[X-Saber]]s" can exploit this strategy to the fullest, due to those archetypes having a decent amount of [[searcher]] monsters.
−
* You can give your opponent a very weak monster in attack position to use your opponent's strong monster to attack your weak monster, dealing heavy damage.
+
** "Creature Swap" can be used to activate the effects of "[[Griggle]]", "[[Kunoichi]]" and "[[Ameba]]".
−
** [[Gusto]]s and [[X-Saber]]s can exploit this strategy to the fullest, due to those archetypes have decent amount of [[searcher]] monsters.
+
** Give your opponent a "[[Ra's Disciple]]" to prevent them from Special Summoning.
−
*** Swap your Attack Position "[[Marshmallon]]" to your opponent, and Attack it with all of your monsters to deliver heavy damage. Alternatively, you can use "[[Arcana Force 0 - The Fool]]" as it cannot be switched into Defense Position.
+
** Use this card with "[[Chainsaw Insect]]" so when it's attacked you get to draw a card.
−
 
+
** When "[[Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction]]" runs out of Xyz Materials, you can use this card to give it to your opponent. Your opponent will take 2000 damage during each of their Standby Phases, be unable to Special Summon monsters and they can't attack with "Acid Golem".
−
* Use this card on "[[Zombie Mammoth]]" if your opponent has no [[Zombie]]-Type monsters to deal 1900 damage and leave them with no monster.
+
** You can swap an "[[Ultimate Tyranno]]" while you have any combination of "[[Blast Sphere]]", "[[Zoma the Spirit]]", "[[Reflect Bounder]]", "[[Amazoness Swords Woman]]", "[[Fiend's Sanctuary]]" or any of the "[[Yubel]]" cards for tons of damage.
−
 
+
** In a Mill Deck, give your opponent an Xyz Monster with this card. Once they decide to attack with it, activate "[[Vain Betrayer]]" to speed up the destruction of their Deck.
−
* If you Normal Summon "[[Malevolent Mech - Goku En]]" without a Tribute and you don't have a Zombie-Type monster, then use "Creature Swap" to give it to the opponent so that he/she takes 2400 damage and you get to keep a monster.
+
** If you intend to give your opponent a strong monster, you should use the [[Equip Spell Card]], "[[Vengeful Servant]]".
−
** This is also a good card to combo with the [[Equip Spell Card]], "[[Vengeful Servant]]".
+
** Use on "[[Zombie Mammoth]]" (Zombie decks only) or  "[[Malevolent Mech - Goku En]]" if your opponent has no [[Zombie]]-[[Type]] monsters to deal heavy damage and leave them with no monsters.
−
 
+
** "Creature Swap" works well with [[Spirit monster]] Decks, since at the end of the turn the Spirit monster will return to your hand, even if it's on the opponent's side of the [[field]].
−
* You can swap an "[[Ultimate Tyranno]]" while you have any combination of "[[Blast Sphere]]", "[[Zoma the Spirit]]", "[[Reflect Bounder]]", "[[Amazoness Swords Woman]]", "[[Fiend's Sanctuary]]", or any of the "[[Yubel]]" cards for tons of damage.
+
*** Use this as an opportunity to use "[[Legacy of Yata-Garasu]]". Instead of drawing one card, you would get to draw two due to the Spirit monster on your opponent's side of the field.
−
 
+
* "Creature Swap" works well to provide a combat situation for monsters that require to defeat or be defeated for their effect to activate :
−
* "[[Grinder Golem]]" can be Swapped, and deliver a massive 3000 points of damage while providing card advantage.
+
** Monsters whose effect activates in the card [[owner]]'s [[Graveyard]], such as "[[Giant Rat]]", "[[Mystic Tomato]]", "[[Grave Squirmer]]" or "[[Sangan]]" will let you benefit from their effects and not your opponent. "Mystic Tomato" is especially potent with this combo because you can search out a "[[Don Zaloog]]" or "[[Spirit Reaper]]" with it, and will often get to discard a card from the opponent's hand.
−
 
+
** "[[Jurrac Guaiba]]", "[[Hydrogeddon]]", "[[Blue Thunder T-45]]", "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]", among many others, benefit from defeating a monster in battle.
−
* Use this with "[[Grave Squirmer]]" to inflict damage and destroy an opponent's card.
+
*** In a Zombie Deck, cards such as "[[Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon]]" or "[[Paladin of the Cursed Dragon]]" can "get back" a zombie monster you gave with Creature Swap. "[[Pyramid Turtle]]" is a good guinea pig for this combo, as it will also summon another monster when killed.
−
 
+
** Use "[[Breakthrough!]]" in a Six Samurai deck by attacking the monster you gave.
−
* Use this with [[Searcher]] monsters to steal your opponent's monster and not lose your monster (since you can summon another one with the effect of the first).
+
* In a "[[Dark World]]" Deck, swapping a "[[Morphing Jar]]" or "[[Rigorous Reaver]]" so that it becomes the "opponent's card effect" can help you activate the additional effects from cards like "[[Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World]]" or "[[Broww, Huntsman of Dark World]]" or fulfilling the requirements for "[[Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World]]".
−
 
+
* [[Mystic Box]] and [[Shien's Spy]] are similar cards that can be used to give your opponent monsters with negative effects.
−
* Use "Creature Swap" in your "Dark World" deck by swapping your "[[Morphing Jar]]" or "[[Rigorous Reaver]]" so that it becomes the "opponent's card effect..." that is necessary for activating additional effects from cards like "[[Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World]]" or "[[Broww, Huntsman of Dark World]]", or fulfilling the requirements for "[[Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World]]".
 
−
 
 
−
* Summon "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]" and Special Summon "[[Blackwing - Bora the Spear]]", then use "Creature Swap" selecting "Bora". Destroying "Bora" in battle with "Shura" allows the special summon of a "Blackwing" from your deck.
 
−
 
 
−
* Be careful not to steal an opponent's monster with an effect that either activates in the [[Graveyard]] or temporarily removes it from the [[field]] (i.e. "[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]", "[[Reborn Tengu]]", or "[[Sangan]]").
