• This card can be searched via "Senju of the Thousand Hands," "Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands," and "Preparation of Rites."

• This card can be Ritual Summoned with "Earth Chant."

• Best used in a deck heavy with Normal Monsters, or even better, with Advanced Ritual Art, so that there will already be Normal Monsters in the Graveyard for Lycanthrope's effect to activate.
  • Use only Level 1 monsters for Advanced Ritual Art's cost, maximizing the amount of Normal Monsters in the Graveyard for Lycanthrope's effect.

• Can be used along with Big Bang Shot or Strike Slash to get through defensive monsters then activate effect. Enraged Battle Ox works for this as well if your spell and trap zones are full.

• It's good if you use the effect of Magical Merchant and Big Eye so you lose Normal Monsters but get to make sure you don't lose anything vital by changing around the top 5 cards of your Deck.

• This card also works with discarding-effect monsters or spells, so you can discard Normal Monsters to your Graveyard easily, such as: Card Destruction, Dark Grepher, Red Ogre, Dark World, Fabled, etc.

• Use Lycanthrope for Syncho Summon. Use Advanced Ritual Art to Ritual Summon it. Then Normal Summon a level 2 Tuner to Synchro Summon a level 8 Synchro Monster, such as: Stardust Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, Colossal Fighter, etc.

• It's good to have this card in Gemini Monsters deck because they are Normal Monsters while in the Graveyard. Also, many Gemini decks are built around summoning from the grave anyway.

• Equip it with Ritual Weapon so it would gain 1500 ATK point with a total of 3900.

• This card works well with "Card Trooper", as you can send Normal Monsters to the Graveyard.

• This card is useful around Fortune Fairy Deck. (Tag Force 4-6 only)
