Revision as of 03:25, 13 January 2010 by 76.89.248.152 (talk)
- If you're running a Plant Deck, a simple way to Synchro Summon this monster would be to summon Twilight Rose Knight and use its effect to summon any Level 4 Plant-Type Monster from your hand.
- Once this card is in play, you can activate "Stumbling" to force every monster your opponent summons into Defense Position, to then be shifted back to Attack Position and destroyed by this card.
- Activate "Earthquake" before Synchro Summoning this card.
- Set "Limiter Overload" before Synchro Summoning this card. When you do, activate its first effect to clear the whole field. The set "Limiter Overload" will be destroyed Special Summoning "Speed Warrior" from your deck for a direct attack. This also works with "Wonder Garage".
- In a Dark World Deck, Synchro Summon this card, then use its first Effect, then play Card Destruction or Dark World Dealings to Special Summon strong Dark World monsters to the field while your opponent has a clear Field.
- You can use "Black Garden" after summoning this card--it won't be destroyed by Black Garden's effect to destroy Plant-type monsters, and any new monsters your opponent summons will be weakened, making up for this card's somewhat low ATK (for a high-level monster). You'll also be able to use the Rose Tokens as tribute fodder for the various Plant support cards.
- Before you Synchro Summon this monster, activate "Plant Food Chain" and equip to one of your plant monsters so when you Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon you can clear the field and have a direct attack.
- When you successfully Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon and choose to activate its field clearing effect, chain "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" to it so you can have Black Rose Dragon come back at the end of the turn.
- Use "Urgent Tuning" to Synchro Summon this card on your opponent's turn, activating its effect when it gets successfully summoned to keep the field clear for your turn (unless they put into play spells/traps and monsters during their Main Phase 2).
- Combine the two previous strategies to leave your opponent high and dry at the end of their turn with only the cards they'd be able to put into play during their Main Phase 2.
- An easy way to Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon in a plant deck is to use Gigaplant's effect to Special Summon a Lonefire Blossom and use Lonefire Blossom's effect to Special Summon a Copy Plant.
- This card can be used to destroy Earthbound Immortals and Sin monster.
- Synchro Summoning and using the effect of Black Rose Dragon while Geartown or Dark Coffin is on the field gives you major field and/or hand advantage.
- This card works well with Gorz the Emissary of Darkness. After it destroys all cards on the field, if your opponent takes the opportunity to attack you, Gorz will activate the moment you take damage.
- Horseytail and Seed of Flame are useful for getting Defense Position monsters on your opponent's side of the field.
- Revival Gift is helpful in a Black Rose Deck since the Gift Fiend Tokens will be destroyed by either of Black Rose Dragon's effects anyway.
- An easy way to Synchro Summon this card is by Summoning a Marauding Captain and using his effect to Special Summon Rose, Warrior of Revenge.
- If you have a face-down Wall of Ivy you can Flip Summon it and Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon and activate its effect on the token Wall of Ivy created to deal 2700 damage when you destroy the Ivy Token.
- Set a face-down Mystic Tomato, then when your opponent destroys it by battle Special Summon Twilight Rose Knight. During your next turn use Dark Resonator with a level 4 in your hand, so you can either blow the field up or remove Mystic Tomato from play for the effect.
- In a Dragon Deck, this card can be used to make a clear path to Fusion Summon Five-Headed Dragon or just to swarm the field with dragon monsters.
- If you want a weak tribute for its effect and some side damage to your opponent, use the effect of "Give and Take" to give your opponent a "Samsara Lotus" and either attack it instantly or wait a few turns for your opponent to take 1000 damage each standby phase. Either way "Samsara Lotus" will get sent to the Graveyard and after that you can tribute it to activate Black Rose Dragon's effect.
- Another easy way to summon this card would be to tune Debris Dragon with 3 Scapegoats.
- Use Burial from a Different Dimension to return 3 Removed from play Plant-Type Monsters to your Graveyard and reuse its effect again.
- Combine this card with The Dark Creator. Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon and nuke the field, then if you've met the conditions, special summon The Dark Creator. If you special summon a powerful DARK monster with The Dark Creator such as Gorz the Emissary of Darkness, Red Dragon Archfiend or Thought Ruler Archfiend you could easily deal 5000 points of damage to your opponent's life points in one turn. Pray that they don't have Gorz the Emissary of Darkness in their hands because that would be devastating to the combo.
