- This card can be searched via "Sangan", "Last Will", "Magician's Circle", "Mystic Tomato", "Dark General Freed" and "Gravekeeper's Spy".
- This card is not just used in Gravekeeper's decks. In fact, it is used moreso outside of Gravekeeper's decks. Most people will put two "Gravekeeper's Spy" into their deck simply to search one out with the other, creating a wall of 1 or 2 2000 DEF monsters.
- This card is commonly used to easily generate tribute fodder for Monarchs. Flip one, use it's effect to search out another (or sometimes Gravekeeper's Guard, with a respectable 1900 DEF), and then tribute the one you flipped for a Monarch. Notably this can still be done fairly safely if your opponent has a clear field; you can remove one of them for Caius's effect to do some burn damage to the opponent (since all of the Gravekeeper monsters with under 1500 ATK are DARK), or put a Spy on top of your deck with Raiza (which, if you are running more Gravekeeper's than the standard 2 Spy, will allow you to Set a Spy next turn to flip over later for yet another Gravekeeper).
- In decks that revolve around easily summoning Synchro Monsters, this card is also fairly useful. Flip one Spy for another, then normal summon Krebons to tune for a level 6 like Goyo Guardian or Tempest Magician, or Rose, Warrior of Revenge for one of the many 8-star synchro monsters.
- One good combo for this card in a "Gravekeeper's" deck is that when you have "Gravekeeper's Cannonholder" on the field with "Gravekeeper's Spy" you can flip "Gravekeeper's Spy" face-up and summon a "Gravekeeper's Curse" to do 500 damage and then use "Gravekeeper's Cannonholder" to sacrifice "Gravekeeper's Curse" and do 700. This can repeated if you have something to flip "Gravekeeper's Spy" face-down again (such as Tsukuyomi or if you have another "Gravekeeper's Spy") and it can do up to 3600 damage, you can also launch your extra "Gravekeeper's Spy" to do 700 damage each.
