Card Tips:Gusto Griffin
- This card can be searched by "Serpentine Princess", "Vampire Dragon", "Flying Kamakiri #1", "Kujakujaku", "Shrine of Mist Valley", "Divine Wind of Mist Valley", "Ninjitsu Art of Transformation", "Swallow's Nest", "Vortex the Whirlwind", "Dragunity Corsesca", "Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg", "Gusto Egul", "Gusto Falco", "Gusto Gulldo", "Whirlwind of Gusto" and another "Gusto Griffin".
- However, the only recommended way to search this card is "Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg", since it can bring this card to your hand while also triggering this card's effect.
- Use this with "One for One" to Special Summon "Gusto Egul", then by its effect, Special Summon "Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto" from your Deck for a quick Synchro Summon of "Daigusto Sphreez". Plus you'll still have your Normal Summon (provided you didn't Normal Summon anything beforehand) to Summon any Gusto searcher from the Graveyard (using the effect of "Daigusto Sphreez") or your hand and start its-possible-OTK-combo.
- "Lady Ninja Yae" works well with this card. However, since "Lady Ninja Yae" isn't a Gusto monster, you can't use her to Synchro Summon any Daigusto monsters (as they usually need non-Tuner Gusto monsters) even though you can Special Summon a Gusto Tuner monster by the effect of "Gusto Griffin".
- Fortunately, "Gusto Griffin" is also a Gusto monster so it can be used for another purpose, such as with "Junk Synchron" for Synchro Summoning "Daigusto Gulldos".
- Also, since "Gusto Griffin" is also Winged Beast-type, you can choose to Synchro Summon "Vortex the Whirlwind" instead, which later can grant access to "Winda"-"Gulldo"-"Egul" defense line; or Tribute it for "Icarus Attack".
Traditional Format
- This card can be searched by "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest" or "Last Will".
- "Lightning, Dragon Ruler of Drafts" can also work neatly alongside this card; by discarding it and this card, you can Special Summon "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms" and any Gusto monster you choose from your Deck, and if the Gusto monster you Summoned was "Gusto Egul", you can Synchro Summon a Level 8 Synchro Monster such as "Stardust Dragon".
