- You can use "DNA Surgery" to boost "Dark Paladin"'s ATK by turning all monsters on the field to Dragon-Type.
- This card works great in a combo with "Jinzo" or "Royal Decree" (or "Sorcerer of Dark Magic", but he won't stop Counter Trap Cards). This combo would make it so that the only effects that your opponent can use are Effect Monster effects. Even then, "Destiny Hero - Plasma" or "Angel O7" can negate those.
- By having "Fusion Sage", "Emblem of Dragon Destroyer", "Future Fusion" and on the field "Skilled Dark Magician", use first "Fusion Sage" to bring "Polymerization", then "Emblem of Dragon Destroyer" to add "Buster Blader" to your hand and finish with "Future Fusion" to summon "Five-Headed Dragon". Then use "Skilled Dark Magician's" effect to bring "Dark Magician" on your side of the field and fuse it to bring "Dark Paladin" with an attack of 5400. And later you would have your "Five-Headed Dragon" with 5000 ATK points and also increase "Dark Paladin's" to 5900.
- This card overcomes Buster Blader's main weakness, that it relies on the opponent using a specific kind of monster to power up. This card powers up if you also use Dragons, making it extremely handy.
- A card that combos extremely well with this is Mirage Dragon. It doesn't completely lock down traps, but it prevents your opponent from using traps during the Battle Phase, which tend to be the most troublesome traps, and boosts this card's ATK by 500 at the same time.
- A brilliant combo to use with this card, if your lucky to have two in your dedck
then play Polymerization and Buster Blader/Dark Magician. After that play Fusion Recovery and Emblem Of Dragon Destroyer to be able to summon your second.
