unsure how this tip got duplicated
* This card can be [[Tribute Summon]]ed with one Tribute by using "[[Kaiser Sea Horse]]". It can also be Summoned without Tributes by using "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]", but its first effect won't be used.
* In terms of protecting itself, this card's first effect can be used to search Trap Cards such as "[[Safe ZoneDimension Guardian]]" and "[[Dimension GuardianSafe Zone]]"are Continuous Trap Card options that can protect this card from being destroyed, and Spell Cards such as while "[[March of the Monarchs]]"is a Continuous Spell Card option that can protect this card from being targeted or destroyed by card effects.** In turn, these cards also benefit from being protected by this monster's effect.
* In terms of Continuous Spell Cards, useful '[[floodgate]]' options include cards such as "[[Chain Energy]]", "[[Corridor of Agony]]", "[[Deck Lockdown]]", "[[Degenerate Circuit]]", "[[Dimensional Fissure]]", "[[Earthshattering Event]]", "[[Goddess Skuld's Oracle]]", "[[Kaiser Colosseum]]", "[[Legacy of the Duelist]]", "[[Level Limit - Area B]]", "[[Messenger of Peace]]", "[[Poisonous Winds]]", "[[Power Filter]]", "[[Prohibition]]", "[[Slow Life]]", "[[Summoning Curse]]", and "[[Terminal World NEXT]]".
* In terms of Continuous Trap Cards, useful 'floodgate' options include cards such as "[[And the Band Played On]]", "[[Anti-Spell Fragrance]]", "[[By Order of the Emperor]]", "[[Cloak and Dagger]]", "[[Discord]]", "[[DNA Surgery]]", "[[DNA Transplant]]", "[[Dragon Capture Jar]]", "[[Goblin Fan]]", "[[Gozen Match]]", "[[Grave of the Super Ancient Organism]]", "[[Gravity Bind]]", "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]", "[[Light-Imprisoning Mirror]]", "[[Lose 1 Turn]]", "[[Macro Cosmos]]", "[[Mask of Restrict]]", "[[Mind Drain]]", "[[Mistake]]", "[[Narrow Pass]]", "[[Non-Fusion Area]]", "[[Respect Play]]", "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]", "[[Royal Command]]", "[[Royal Decree]]", "[[Royal Prison]]", "[[Sanguine Swamp]]", "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]", "[[Skill Drain]]", "[[Soul Drain]]", "[[Stygian Dirge]]", "[[Summon Limit]]", "[[The Emperor's Holiday]]", "[[The Monarchs Erupt]]", "[[There Can Be Only One]]", "[[Toll Hike]]", and "[[Transmigration Break]]".
** However, "Skill Drain" will negate this card's protective effect too; "The Monarchs Erupt" may be a better option.
** "Sanguine Swamp" benefits greatly from this card's last effect, as it won't be destroyed by its own effect (although it will still self-destruct during its user's 2nd Standby Phase after activation).
* This card can be useful in "[[Bamboo Sword]]" Decks, by potentially retrieving either "[[Burning Bamboo Sword]]" or "[[Soul Devouring Bamboo Sword]]" from the Deck, while using its other effect to protect all face-up "Bamboo Sword" cards from being destroyed by card effects.

* This card's effect can be useful for retrieving cards like "[[Kaiser Colosseum]]" or "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]".
** "Vanity's Emptiness" benefits greatly from this card's other effect, which protects that Trap Card from destroying itself with its effect.
