• Use this card with "Mist Valley Thunderbird", which will special summon itself and give Birdman an extra 500 ATK.

• This card works well with "Phantom Skyblaster", since its effect allows you to summon Level 4 Tokens up to the number of Monsters you control, you can return "Phantom Skyblaster" to your hand after Normal Summoning it to Special Summon "Birdman" and then perform a Level 7 Synchro summon. This card also works well with Effect Monsters who's effects activate when they are Normal Summoned, such as "Fortune Lady Wind".

• You can use this card to recycle the effects of Effect monsters that only activate when they are Tribute Summoned by returning the Tribute Summoned monster to your hand and Normal Summon it again by Tributing this card (This combo can be used with Monarchs or even "Swift Birdman Joe").

• Special Summon this card by its own effect, then discard the monster returned to your hand for the effect of "Genex Ally Axel", allowing you to Special Summon a monster for the appropriate Synchro level. This will allow you to Synchro Summon a monster between Levels 4 and 7.

• Combine this card with monster stealing cards like "Mind Control", "Enemy Controller", etc. Swipe their monster, then return it to their hand while summoning a potentially 1900 ATK Tuner.

• If you use two copies of "Birdman", "Imperial Iron Wall", and "Cyber Summon Blaster", you can create an infinite burn combo. While you have both traps face-up, Normal Summon one "Birdman", then Special Summon the second by returning the first to your hand. Then, Special Summon the first by returning the second to your hand. Because "Imperial Iron Wall" prevents "Birdman" from removing itself from play, it will return to your hand as normal. This allows you to Special Summon each Birdman as many times as you need for "Cyber Summon Blaster" to reduce your opponent's Life Points to zero.

• Use it in "Six Samurai" decks. Return "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" or "Great Shogun Shien" - Grandmaster especially, as summoning it again will give you more counters for "Gateway of the Six" or "Six Samurai United".

• This card can make an OTK - and potentially FTK - combo with "Koa'ki Meiru Doom" and "Gallis the Star Beast" (see God Bird of Doom FTK for details).

• This card works well in a "Monarch" deck.

• Use this card to return "Machina Fortress" to your hand and "Synchro Summon" with "Machina Gearframe" or one of the "Gadgets" for a Level 7.That way "Machina Fortress" can be easily be summoned from your hand at any time."Karakuri Shogun mdl 00 “Burei”" or "Black Rose Dragon" should be the first choises to a "Machina" Build since with "Karakuri Shogun mdl 00 “Burei” you can keep your "solidarity" alive plus bringing on the Field the most powerfull monster of your deck with 3400 ATK,(2600 + 800) or "Synchro Summon" a "Black Rose Dragon" wiping out the entire Field for a potential OTK using "Machina Fortress".
