• This card can be searched by "Pharaonic Advent", "The Despair Uranus", and other generic searchers.

• This card essentially lets yourself Normal Summon monsters in face-up defense mode, which is useful for some cards such as "Royal Magical Library".

• This card works well with "Dark Cure".

• This card works well with "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms, because it forces your opponent to Normal Summon the monsters they would Set to create more "Phantasm Tokens" to strengthen "Raviel".

• This card is useful for archetype Decks that rely on Counters such as "Alien" or "Venom" Decks.

• This card is equally as handy with "Destiny End Dragoon" or the "Armed Dragon" series, as it forces your opponent to have their monsters face-up, allowing yourself to destroy them and (in the case of "Destiny End Dragoon") inflict damage.

• This card works well with "Morphtronics" because it let yourself chose to Summon them in face-up Defense Position, so there is no need to wait to flip them face-up later.

• This card can destroy a Deck that relies on monster effects that require being flipped face-up, such as "Needle Worm", "Swarm of Locusts" or "Guardian Sphinx", as they are unable to get face-down in the first place to flip face-up.

• This card can combo with "Unleash Your Power!" to prevent your Gemini monsters from being flipped face-down by the card's effect.

• By using this card, along with "The Last Warrior from Another Planet", a lockdown can be created by completely cutting off all types of Summons by the opponent, making for an ideal direct attack.

• This is good to use with cards that have low Attack, but need to be Normal Summoned to gain their effects like "Vortex Trooper" and "Poison Draw Frog".

• Use this card to ensure that "Infernity Guardian" is Normal Summoned face-up and in Defense Position, thereby guaranteeing that it cannot be destroyed.

• This card works well with "Neo-Spacians", as they have low attack, but handy effects. A prime example is "Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird".

• Combine with "Stygian Dirge" and "Infinite Dismissal" to ensure an empty field during each of your turns.

• Use this card with lockdown monsters, such as "Marauding Captain" (in a Warrior-Type Deck), "Miracle Flipper", "Magician's Valkyria" (in a Spellcaster-Type Deck), "Dupe Frog", etc. It can also be used with cards such as "King Tiger Wanghu".

• This card works perfectly with "Lightning Vortex" because monsters on your opponent's side of the field can only be face-up. Beware your opponent can also use "Lightning Vortex".

• Use this card to avoid some pesky monsters with irritating Flip effects such as "Gravekeeper's Guard", "Penguin Soldier" and "Morphing Jar". Cards that activate their effects can also be avoided when they are flipped face-up such as "Marshmallon" and "Flip Flop Frog"

• Combo this card with "Queen of Thorns", forcing your opponent to pay 1000 Life Points each time they Normal or Special Summon non Plant-Type monster from their hand.

• This card makes it nearly impossible for "Ghostricks" to Summon, effectively neutralizing the Deck.

• This is the best option as counter for cards like Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, Quaking Mirror Force, Fairy Tail - Snow, Book of Eclipse, Book of Moon, Swords of Concealing Light.

• Because this card allows you to Normal Summon and Special Summon (with cards like Premature Return ) in Face Up Defense Position, you don't need to Summon it in attack position in order to activate monsters effects or wait 1 turn to Flip Summon a monster.
