• This card can be searched via "Senju of the Thousand Hands", "Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands", and "Preparation of Rites".

• Consider using the "Djinn of Rituals" cards to layer this monster with other effects.
  • Because this card has 7 stars, Djinn Releaser of Rituals is not only a practical approach, but also a devastating one.
  • By Ritual Summoning this card with "Djinn Releaser of Rituals" and "Djinn Curse Enchanter of Rituals", the opponent will not be able to Special Summon after their monsters are destroyed or be able to protect their monsters with "Stardust Dragon's" effect, making recovering from this card's effect all the more difficult.
  • Using Sonic Bird or Eccentric Boy in addition to the "Djinn of Rituals" cards is excellent fuel for Dark Simorgh, which in itself as a Level 7 monster is a great to use as a single ritual card to tribute for "Garlandorlf, King of Destruction" from the hand or field in a pinch while aiding your field protection.

• Mystic Plasma Zone allows this card's effect to destroy all face-up monsters whose DEF is not higher than 3000, which is almost anything.
  • Chaining Rush Recklessly to the ritual summon of "Garlandorlf, King of Destruction" will have the same result, except your opponent's face-up monsters will need a DEF of 3200 or higher to avoid destruction.

• Chaining Ceasefire to the successful ritual summoning of "Garlandorlf, King of Destruction" will ensure that all of your opponent's monsters will be face-up when the destruction effect resolves while also doing 500LP burn damage per effect monster on the field too for Ceasefire's card effect.
  • Used together with Mystic Plasma Zone and/or Rush Recklessly, this combination play is devastating because all of your opponent's monsters will be face-up on the field, you will destroy almost every one unless their DEF is very high and do a substantial amount of burn damage to their life points at the same time with Ceasefire regardless of what monsters end up being destroyed.
    • And if you use Scapegoat too to fill your side of the field and Ojama Trio to fill up your opponent's side of the field too, you could potentially do up to 5900LP of damage from Ceasefire and Ojama Trio leading into then attacking directly with "Garlandolf, King of Destruction" for an OTK play.

• "Swords of Revealing Light" or "Dark-Piercing Light" can be used to force the opponent's monsters to be face-up before you ritual summon "Garlandorlf, King of Destruction" but unlike Ceasefire, you will be activating your opponent's flip effects so use it cautiously.

• "Garlandorlf, King of Destruction" can be combined with "Ojama Trio", "Nightmare Archfiends", "Scapegoat", "Dandylion" or any card that summons low DEF Tokens, for extra ATK and damage.

• When this card is summoned, destroy your face-up "Yubel", since it has no DEF, to Special Summon your "Yubel - Terror Incarnate".

• This card can be Ritual Summoned with "Contract with the Abyss."

• You can Ritual Summon this card with one tribute by using "Ritual Raven"

• Counter strategy: If Fortune Lady Light is destroyed by the effect of "Garlandolf, King of Destruction", then its effect will not miss the timing and it will activate for its search and special summon effect, which is a great counter play if you summon Fortune Lady Fire to destroy "Garlandolf, King of Destruction".
