Card Tips:Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier
- You can combo this card with "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" by returning cards you control and then use "Brionac"'s effect to discard them to return your opponent's cards.
- This card's recycling capabilities are perhaps better than its intended ability. Use it on monsters whose effects activate when Summoned or Spell/Trap cards that would otherwise only temporarily stay on the field (as above and with "Premature Burial" like one would do with "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier").
- You can return "Elemental Hero Absolute Zero" to the Extra Deck to destroy all of your opponent's monsters. Dewloren won't get a boost from Absolute Zero though.
- You can return cards that stop both players from attacking like "Nightmare's Steelcage" or "Gravity Bind" so only you can attack and just replay the cards after the Battle Phase. Using Mist Body could help destruction by battle during your opponent's turn.
- This card can also work well with monsters that have effects that activate when they are Normal Summoned such as "Breaker the Magical Warrior", "Creeping Doom Manta", or "Marauding Captain". Just return the monster to your hand and Normal Summon it again.
- Any card that can only be used 'Once per turn' like "Herculean Power", "Court of Justice", "Swords of Concealing Light", "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen", "Water Hazard", or "Call of the Mummy" can be used twice if they are returned between uses.
- Have a "Raiza the Storm Monarch" on the field and some recyclable tribute fodder (e.g. "D.D. Survivor" with "Macro Cosmos") and summon Raiza each turn for a semi-lockdown.
- "Mind Control" can be used with this card to take control of an opponent's strongest monster, and return it to the opponent's hand or Extra Deck, while giving this card an ATK boost and also getting around anti-destruction effects like that of "Stardust Dragon".
- You can use Continuous, Equip and Field Spell Cards to raise this card's ATK by up to 3000 (a maximum of 6) and then simply reactivate the cards with no loss to the player. This can also be done using Continuous Trap Cards, but is slower.
- Use this card to return "Burden of the Mighty" to your hand, then play it again. Your monster will gain 500 ATK and theirs will still lose 100 x their level.
- "Jam Breeding Machine" prevents you from Summoning while it is active. By having it on the field, you receive a free token to tribute and then can follow up by removing "Jam Breeding Machine" so that you can tribute something with the said token.
- With Dewloren's effect, you can use "Jam Breeding Machine" as a recurring tribute generator along the same lines as "Treeborn Frog" and "D.D. Survivor", which combos well with Monarchs. Even better, you can use Dewloren's effect to return the summoned Monarch (along with "Jam Breeding Machine") to your hand during the next turn, allowing you to recycle their effects every turn.
- "Morale Boost" can be used before you activate Equip cards like "Mist Body" and "Big Bang Shot" and ATK raising Equips like "Axe of Despair" to gain 1000 LP. You can then remove it from the field with this card before the Equip cards are destroyed, preventing the 1000 LP damage.
- "Toll" can be abused to only force your opponent to pay to attack.
- Combo this card with "Spell Absorption", gaining you 500 Life Points each time you bounce a Spell Card back to your hand and reactivate it.
- Use with "Black Garden" to make only your opponent's monsters lose half their ATK and give you a "Rose Token".
- "Chain Energy" can be removed to prevent the owner from having to pay. If you are using more than one, set any Spells you want to activate before activating a "Chain Energy".
- "Boss Rush" prevents you from summoning. Remove it, summon, reactivate.
- "Prohibition" prevents one card of your choice from being used. Reselect which card can not be used by using this effect.
- "Miracle Fertilizer" is destroyed if a monster it Special Summoned is removed from the field. Removing it from the field not only allows a player to use its ability twice per turn, but also breaks Miracle Fertilizer's effect on that monster, preventing its destruction should it be removed from the field.
- "Future Fusion" can be used to reduce cards in the deck and fill your graveyard by bouncing it back to your hand once a turn.
- "Ground Collapse" forces you to select two monster zones. Return it back to your hand and you can reselect the monster zones. This strategy works similarly with Xing Zhen Hu as you can select two different set Spell(s) or Trap(s) card.
- Use "Big Bang Shot" on your opponent's monster and then return it to your hand with this card. Their monster will be removed from play due to Big Bang Shot's effect.
- "Vengeful Bog Spirit" can be removed so you can summon a monster and allow it to attack on the same turn.
- "D.D. Borderline" prevents players from attacking. Remove it, attack, reactivate.
- "Power Filter" prevents players from Special Summoning monsters with 1000 or less attack. Remove it, Special Summon, reactivate.
