- A common tactic is to chain this card to one of your own Normal Spells or Normal Traps: The Spell Card or Trap Card resolves even though it was destroyed, so nothing is lost.
- Use Emergency Provisions on a face-up Mirage of Nightmare after drawing the cards four cards, but before having to discard at your opponent's Standby Phase.
- You may set three Good Goblin Housekeepings, then activate all three, and chain Emergency Provisions and send all of them to the Graveyard. By doing this, they were able to drawn 12 cards and only return 3 of them to their deck, not to mention the 3,000 Life Points gain to boot.
- You can also set three Numinous Healers, then activate all three,chain Emergency Provisions and send them all to the Graveyard to increase you Life Points by 10,500 OR use Attack and Receive to inflict 4800 damage to your opponent and gain 3000 Life Points.
- This also functions well with Big Bang Shot. Equip to one of your opponent's monsters and activate Emergency Provisions to remove the equipped monster from the game and increase your Life Points.
