• This card can negate the effects of 3 of the other Signer Dragons (Black Rose Dragon, Ancient Fairy Dragon and Red Dragon Archfiend).
  • An exception to this is when your Stardust Dragon in Defense Position is attacked by Red Dragon Archfiend. Stardust Dragon will not be able to activate its effect in this case.
  • Use the effect of Quickdraw Synchron to discard Level Eater to Special Summon this card. Then, use Level Eater's effect to reduce Quickdraw Synchron's level by 1 and Normal Summon Junk Synchron which enable you to Synchro Summon Junk Warrior with the first two monsters you control. Then tune Junk Synchron with Junk Warrior for a Level 8 Synchro Monster like Stardust Dragon and Red Dragon Archfiend in one turn.

• A second Stardust Dragon can negate the effect of the first one if the first Stardust Dragon's effect is activated in response to a card that is considered to be on the field, as Stardust Dragon destroys the card it negates.

• You just need two cards in your hand to easily summon this monster; Summoner Monk and a Spell card. Summon Summoner Monk, use his effect to summon Rose, Warrior of Revenge from your deck and tune them both to Stardust Dragon.

• This card can easily be summoned with a level 3 Tuner monster (like "Dark Resonator") and "Instant Fusion", using it to special summon a Level 5 Fusion monster (Like "Reaper on the Nightmare").

• To summon this monster in one turn, use the effects of "Cyber Dragon" or "The Tricky" to Special Summon themselves, then Normal Summon a level 3 Tuner monster like "Junk Synchron" or "Psychic Commander"

• Use the above strategy, but for a Level 3 Tuner monster, summon Counselor Lily. By spending an extra 500 Life Points, you can boost Stardust Dragon's ATK by 1000 for one turn!

• There is also a way to Summon this card in one turn if you use a Plant Deck.First,you Normal Summon a Level 4 Plant monster,like Cactus Fighter.Then you use Seed of Deception to Special Summon Copy Plant from your hand,use its effect to copy Cactus Fighter's Level and then Synchro Summon Stardust Dragon.

• Use "Card of Safe Return" with this card, so every time it revives itself after preventing destruction, you get to draw an extra card.

• You can use "Dragon's Rage" to almost ensure that you can deal damage each turn without hesitating to attack because of its revival effect.

• Running cards like "Solemn Judgment", and "Imperial Iron Wall" will keep "Stardust Dragon" safe from cards that remove it from play or negate its effect.

• Use Destiny Draw or Foolish Burial to get Destiny Hero - Malicious into the Graveyard, then use his effect to Special Summon another copy of Destiny Hero - Malicious, then use Emergency Teleport to get Krebons onto the field, in order to Synchro Summon Stardust Dragon.
  • Alternatively, you can use Dark Grepher's effect to to send Destiny Hero - Malicious from your hand to the graveyard, then send Plaguespreader Zombie from your deck to the graveyard or vice versa. You can then use their effects to special summon them to the field and Synchro Summon Stardust Dragon.

• This card works well with Wave-Motion Cannon since it can prevent it from being destroyed, thus giving you a better chance of it surviving 8 turns.

• A good way to get rid of your opponent's "Stardust Dragon" is by using "Share the Pain" when your opponent has no other monsters on the field. This way the Stardust is tributed, but for the effect of "Share the Pain", not for its own effect.

• Use Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer or D.D. Crow after this card used its effect to make sure it doesn't return.

• You can bait the effect of "Stardust Dragon" and then use "D.D. Crow" to remove it from play, "Monster Reborn" to revive it on your side of the field or "The Transmigration Prophecy" to return the card to the opponent's deck.

• "Stardust Dragon" cannot negate the effects of "Brain Control, "Enemy Controller", or related cards, so a good counter is to use these and simply Tribute it for one of your own monsters.

• For a Limited-Type Deck (namely a dragon deck) "Prime Material Dragon" and "Magna Drago" are good cards to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon" (and also "Red Dragon Archfiend"). Make sure that you Summon "Prime Material Dragon" first while having some cards on hand to protect your monsters for a guaranteed Synchro Summon.

• This card is useful against Light and Darkness Dragon's last effect.

• Use Divine Wrath to prevent it from negating a card,as well as hindering its return.

• Play Marauding Captain and use it's effect to summon Debris Dragon, then summon Turbo Booster with it's own effect and easily Synchro Summon this card in one turn.

• Equip this card with Malevolent Nuzzler that way it will have 3200 ATK, making it less vulnerable to your opponents high ATK monsters, and if you use its effect, Malevolent Nuzzler can return to the top of your deck at the Cost of 500 Life Points so you can equip it to Stardust Dragon again.
  • You can also use Horn of the Unicorn, in which you do not need to pay Life Points to return it to the top of the deck when Stardust Dragon used its effect.
