• If planned beforehand, this card's effect is also useful for Special Summoning Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster once all 4 Clock Counters have been placed on Clock Tower Prison, but Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster's effect will destroy Ancient Fairy Dragon.

• If you already Normal Summoned this turn, you can use Star Blast or Cost Down so you will be able to Special Summon a high level monster.

• This card is useful against any decks that rely on field spells, such as Zombie World, Necrovalley, A Legendary Ocean or Geartown.
  • This can greatly speed up the summoning in Zombie World or A Legendary Ocean decks. In the former it can help summon Zombie Master to summon even more zombies, as well as leave your normal summon open. It can also help summon Paladin of the Cursed Dragon, who can summon other monsters thanks to Zombie World. In A Legendary Ocean decks, it can summon level 5 monsters, who's level will be reduced thanks to A Legendary Ocean, as well as provide a quick tribute to summon level 7 monsters, who's level will be reduced as well and requiring only one tribute.

• This card can also be used with Geartown to bring out Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon or other Ancient Gears, except for Ancient Gear Golem and Ancient Gear Beast (they cannot be Special Summoned).
  • If used in an Ancient Gear Deck, you can special summon a Gadgets monster, then tribute it while Geartown is on the field to summon Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon or Ancient Gear Golem. You can also summon two Gadgets a turn to quickly thin your deck and swarm the field.

• This card's effect to Special Summon a monster can also be useful in giving you field advantage through Inferno Reckless Summon.

• Combine this card with Fire Princess allow you to destroys your opponent's Field Spell Cards and gain Life Points and damages your opponent.

• Use Hidden Book of Spell to recycle the destroyed field spells to continue using this card's effect. Since you add a card from your deck to your hand anyways, the deck thickening downside is a non-issue.
  • The Transmigration Prophecy works just as well if you only one of the cards you want back is a spell card.

• This card makes other Synchro Summons easier.

• This card fits well in a Gemini deck, which is composed of lots of level 4 or lower monsters that rely on being quickly Summoned.

• If your opponent is stalling with cards like Swords of Revealing Light, you can use this cards special summoning ability and not worry abut skipping your battle phase.

• This card works well with Ojama Country since it changes its ATK for its DEF and you recover life points for it.

• Since this cards attribute is Light, the above combo allows you to bring out Light End Dragon as well.

• Combo with Regulus or with Recycle. If you have at least 2 field spells you can use Ancient Fairy Dragon to get the field spells in your graveyard and into your hand while Regulus can consistently put the other field spell back in the deck so it can be constantly recycled.

• This card is great against Earthbound Immortals, because they need field spells to stay on the field. It is also useful in Life Points increasing decks.

• Lightsworn monsters can help benefit from this monster's Special Summoning effect. One way is using this card as a back up way of summoning Wulf, Lightsworn Beast, even if Wulf is added to your hand from the deck instead of going directly to the Graveyard.
