• This card can be special summoned with "Miracle Fusion" or "Fusion Gate", because once it is Fusion Summoned, it will return all monsters that are removed from play to the deck (which include the monsters used for the effects of "Miracle Fusion" or "Fusion Gate").

• If you have a "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" which removed from play monster(s) your opponent controlled, but this card was summoned during the turns it/they was still removed from play, this card will return the removed from play monster/s back to the owner's deck so it/they will not come back.

• This card can be an excellent counter-strategy to a RFG Deck.

• Attempt to summon Electrum with "Future Fusion". Even if "Electrum" fails to be summoned, you have given yourself 7 possible E-Heros to summon with "Miracle Fusion" and powered up "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman's" and "Elemental Hero Shining Phoenix Enforcer's" attacks by 1200.

• This is also an effective counter to monsters whose ATK are determined by the number of cards that are removed from play (e.g. "Gren Maju Da Eiza", "Tyranno Infinity", "Helios - The Primordial Sun", "Helios Duo Megistus" and "Helios Trice Megistus"). In general it works well against macro decks, and even "Tyranno Infinity" in Dinosaur decks.

• This card works great with "Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan".

• This card works well with cards from the "Element" series like "Element Soldier" and "Element Dragon", whose effects depend on the attributes of other monsters. These cards are also easy to include in a Hero deck because there is at least one monster of each attribute among those monsters.

• This card works well with "DNA Transplant", allowing all cards to be any of those attributes increasing your ATK even higher.

• This would make a OTK with Infinite damage by using "Fusion Gate", "Dimensional Fissure" and "Chain Material" while you have a "Catapult Turtle" or "Mass Driver" or "Cannon Soldier" on your side of the field, and also 2 "Elemental Hero Electrums" in your fusion deck. Use "Fusion Gate's" effect to summon "Elemental Hero Electrum" and tribute it for the effect of "Cannon Soldier" or "Mass Driver". Summon another "Electrum" from your Extra Deck and the one removed from plays returns. Repeat until you win.
  • In the OCG, "Elemental Hero The Shining" can be used in place of "Dimensional Fissure" (and since "The Shining" is in the Extra Deck and doesn't need to be in your hand, it is more consistent). The plan is the same: "Fusion Gate" + "Mass Driver" + "Chain Material" and fuse for all 3 "Elemental Hero Electrum", then tribute them with "Mass Driver". Remove 2 "Elemental Hero Electrum" to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero The Shining". When "Elemental Hero The Shining" is tributed, return the used "Elemental Hero Electrum" to the Extra Deck. To get "Elemental Hero The Shining" back, remove them from play for a third "Elemental Hero The Shining", then bring them back to the Extra Deck through summoning an "Elemental Hero Electrum or tributing "Elemental Hero The Shining".
