Revision as of 23:55, 19 June 2013 by 75.82.126.237 (talk)
- This card can be searched by "Soul Rope", "Resonator Engine", "Vampire Dragon", "Summoner Monk", "Freed the Matchless General", "Field-Commander Rahz", "Dark General Freed", "Flamvell Poun", "Creeping Darkness" , "Reinforcement of the Army" and "Gaia, Knight in Brightest Night".
- "Dark Crusader" has great synergy with Decks that require DARK monsters to be in the Graveyard, like a Deck based around the use of "Dark Armed Dragon".
- This card is perfect to use in "Infernity" decks; It empties the hand while at same time sends "Infernity" monsters to the graveyard (wich is a very good thing), and becomes a beatstick with this strategy.
- Use this card's effect to send copies of "Skull Servant", "The Lady in Wight","Wightmare" and "King of the Skull Servants" to the Graveyard to power up "King of the Skull Servants".
- "Dark Crusader" works well with "Shadow Delver". Its effect allows "Dark Crusader" to attack your opponent's Life Points directly, and you can use the effect of "Dark Crusader" to increase the damage.
- This card's effect can be used multiple times, and the ATK increase lasts for as long as it is face-up on the field, so it is highly versatile, especially when used in Darkness Decks that take advantage of DARK monsters in the Graveyard.
- Use his effect to send "Destiny Hero - Dasher" or "Destiny Hero - Malicious" to the Graveyard so that you can activate their effects later.
- This monster is ideal for dumping enough DARK monsters to Summon "Darklord Zerato", as you can Tribute him for "Zerato's" Tribute Summon.
- After using his ATK-boosting effect, Tribute him for the effect of "Deck Devastation Virus".
- By sending DARK Fiend-Type monsters, you can easily Special Summon "Sky Scourge Enrise" or "Dark Necrofear".
- The cards that this card sends to the Graveyard can power "Hundred Eyes Dragon" or "Shadow Ghoul".
- By using this card's effect, you can dump powerful and/or useful DARK monsters into the graveyard. By doing so, you can either activate effects that trigger in the graveyard or set the stage to bring a powerful monster onto the field. An example would be to send "Archfiend of Gilfer" to the graveyard to activate its effect, weakening one opposing monster by 500 points, while at the same time, your monster gets stronger. Another example is to send cards like "Dark Magician" to either boost the power of "Dark Magician Girl" or revive it with "Monster Reborn" or "Call of the Haunted".
- If you're using this card in a deck using either Chaos or "Dark Armed Dragon", you can use its effect to send dead draw Dark monsters from your hand to the grave in order to use them for Chaos monsters, using them to summon Dark Armed, and increase Crusader's attack at the same time.
Traditional Format
- This card can be searched by "Witch of the Black Forest".
