• Note that you can still Set monsters first. To expand on how this is useful to avoid the condition restriction of using this card, consider the following options:
  • Set a "Morphing Jar" as a way to replace your hand later or other cards with Draw effects that suit your deck style (e.g., "Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive", "Broww, Huntsman of Dark World", "Skelengel", "Blizzed, Defender of the Ice Barrier", etc)
  • Set a monster with an effect that makes it difficult to destroy (e.g., "Marshmallon", "Spirit Reaper", "Arcana Force 0 - The Fool", "Consecrated Light", etc).
  • Set a monster with a searching effect to replace itself on the next turn when the condition restriction is over (e.g., "Giant Rat", "Mystic Tomato", "Super-Nimble Mega Hamster", "Gladiator Beast Hoplomus", "Cherry Inmato", almost any Gusto or T.G. monster, etc).
  • Set a monster with a destructive or field-control card effect (e.g., "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter", "Snowman Eater", "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo", "Morphing Jar 2", etc).

• Here is a shortlist of monster cards that can be quickly added to your hand with this card, which can then be immediately Special Summoned if you already have the requirement to do so in your graveyard, banished zone or ready on the field:
  • Any Dragon Ruler monster.
  • Almost any Lightray monster.
  • "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" (but it won't be able to special summon anything else on the same turn).
  • "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning"
  • "The Dark Creator" (but it won't be able to special summon anything else on the same turn).
  • "Grapha, Dragon God of Dark World"
  • "Archlord Kristya"
  • "Judgment Dragon"
  • "Dark Armed Dragon"
  • "Dark Simorgh"
  • "Lightpulsar Dragon"
  • "Chaos Sorcerer"
  • "Soul of Purity and Light"
  • "Darkflare Dragon"
  • "Aqua Spirit"
  • "Spell Striker"

• Use this card with "Dark World Dealings", "Foolish Burial" or "Lavalval Chain" to prepare your graveyard first with the previous strategy.
  • A "Card Trooper" already on the field is another option for a three card Milling effect to load the graveyard too.

• Use this card along with "Into the Void" since you will be sending your whole hand into the graveyard on your End Phase anyway.

• This card can be used to quickly add "Necroface" to your hand so you can follow up with Normal Summoning it for its first effect; since its card effect doesn't care what cards are in the Banished Zone, you will be gaining an attack boost of whatever number of cards you used for the activation requirement of "Single Purchase".

• If you are desperate and have a poor hand, use this card to add "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness", "Tragoedia", "Battle Fader" or other similar cards with effects that activate in the hand that you can use to survive to your next turn or even possibly win the game that turn with cards like "Honest" or "Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow" instead that boost the attack of a monster already on the field.
• This card can be useful in an Infernity Deck as they tend to require having no cards in their hand and can help search out a monster in case their hand is bad.
