- This card can be searched via "Witch of the Black Forest" and "Magician's Circle".
- Summon "Dark Elf" while "Skill Drain" or "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror" are on the field to avoid paying to attack.
- "Dark Elf" is perfect to activate "Deck Devastation Virus", since it requires no Tribute.
- "Dark Elf" works well with "Secret Village of the Spellcasters" as it's high attack will make it hard for the opponent to destroy it in combat thus making it hard for the opponent to play due to the field spell.
- "Dark Elf" works well with "Shadow Delver" and "Dancing Fairy". Whilst you loose 1000 life points to attack your opponent directly useing "Shadow Delvers" effect, you gain 1000 thanks to the effect of "Dancing Fairy". You can also use her along with Guardian Angel Joan.
- Try to use Dark Elf to attack directly your opponent instead of destroying monsters with her.
- Mystical Plasma Zone and Yami are two fields that give her an advantage, since she is a DARK monster and a Spellcaster.
