* This card can be searched by "[[Soul Rope]]", "[[Resonator Engine]]", "[[Vampire Dragon]]", "[[Summoner Monk]]", "[[Dark General Freed]]", "[[Creeping Darkness]]", "[[Destiny Signal]]", "[[Elemental HERO Stratos]]", "[[Field-Commander Rahz]]", "[[Freed the Matchless General]]", "[[Mystic Tomato]]", "[[Phantom Magician]]", "[[Masked HERO Dian]]" and , "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]" and "[[Gaia, Knight in Brightest Night]]".
* If this card is face-up on your side of the field during your opponent's [[Standby Phase]], he/she draws 1 card. While that happened, you can chain "[[Appropriate]]" to this card, so every time he/she draw a card through this card's effect, you draw 2 new cards. This combo is extremely good for [[Exodia]] decks because you draw 2 cards each turn.
* Special Summon this card (through "[[Destiny Hero - Fear Monger]]" or any other revival cards) and then play "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]", bringing three copies of this card onto the field. This will make your opponent draw a total of 4 cards each turn. This will allow you to mill through your opponent's deck in under 9 turns. You can further this process along with "[[Needle Worm]]" and "[[The Gift of Greed]]". To ensure your opponent can't use many cards against you, activate "[[Enervating Mist]]" and "[[Spatial Collapse]]", so that most of his surplus cards are sent to the Graveyard.
* Summon three of these and activate "[[Greed]]". Your opponent loses 1500 Life Points per turn and his/her deck gets thinning. Then tribute them for "[[Destiny Hero HERO - Dogma]]" and cut his/her life points in half. Alternatively, Summon Dogma before summoning three Defenders, to drain your opponent of lifepoints in only 3 turns (or less, if Dogma can attack directly).
* "[[Robbin' Goblin]]" works well with this card. If you also use "[[Staunch Defender]]", "[[Battle Mania]]", etc. you can take advantage of your defender's effect, making your opponent discard cards quickly and deal damage.
* Play "[[Greed]]", "[[Magical Thorn]]", "[[Enervating Mist]]" and "[[Anti-Spell Fragrance]]" to slow your opponent down as well as do damage from forcing them to draw plus more damage when they have to discard from too large a hand.
* Since Trap Cards are more vulnerable to destruction you can always use "[[Stronghold Guardian]]" instead of "[[D2 Shield]]". Plus, it's a Warrior like "[[Destiny HERO - Defender]]" and you can search for it with "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]" and other cards such as "[[Sangan]]". Also, you can save more monsters with this card because "[[D2 Shield]]" doesn't give a flat amount to help the weaker monsters too.
* You can use this card's negative effect to help your opponent [[Deck Out|Decking Out]].
