• This card can be used quite effectively in a Blue-Eyes Deck, by first summoning this card while "Maiden with Eyes of Blue" is already on your side of the field.

From there, you can choose to Synchro Summon using either "Influence Dragon" (used with Blue-Eyes to summon "Star Eater") or "Maiden" (using Blue-Eyes as the other Synchro Material Monster).
