• This card can be searched via "Sangan", "Last Will", "Mystic Tomato", "Reinforcement of the Army", "Elemental Hero Stratos", "Soul Rope", and "Dark General Freed".

• Since costs and activation requirements are not paid, or do not have to be met, using cards such as "Destiny Draw" or "Magical Stone Excavation" will get you free cards. "Primal Seed" also works, even without either of "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" or "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End" in your Deck.

• Also, you can activate cards like "Ojama Delta Hurricane!!" without the "Ojamas", "Des Croaking" without the Des Frogs, "Short Circuit" without Batterymen, "Mega Ton Magical Cannon" with no Spell Counters, "Dark Magic Attack" and "Thousand Knives" without "Dark Magician", "Bonding - H2O" without "Oxygeddon" and "Hydrogeddons", and "Burst Stream of Destruction" without "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"

• "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" works well with "Plaguespreader Zombie".
• "Big Eye" can help you get the cards you want on top of your deck.
• "Shooting Star Bow - Ceal" and "Heart of Clear Water" can be used to keep this card on the field and having a 400 direct damage each turn.
• Put a copy of "Final Destiny" in your deck, then if you send the card to the grave with the ability of Diamond dude you won't have to discard and if you have "Clock Tower Prison" in your field you will make a direct attack with Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster.

• Diamond Dude works well with Crystal Beasts, since you can use Crystal Abundance without having to send all of your crystal beasts to the graveyard.

• A word of note: Diamond Dude WILL NOT activate spells in such a way that spell counters will be generated. The wording on Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude says that "you can activate its effect", which does not mean the same thing as regular "activate". In simple terms, the effect, NOT THE CARD (which is required for spell counter generation given the current cards) will be activated. (Then again, you don't pay costs or need to fulfill requirements on the cards that you can activate.)
