"Message in a Bottle":
  • As this card does not restrict Tribute Summons, any of the "Egyptian Gods" or "Wicked Gods" can easily be Summoned with this card. Their power may compensate for the 4000 Life Point loss.
  • Since the summoned monsters' ATK are reduced to zero, it would make two of them acceptable targets for the effect of "Tannhauser Gate" for a higher rank XYZ monster.
  • If your opponent attempts to Xyz Summon after using this card, negate that Summon with a card like "Solemn Warning" or "Black Horn of Heaven". Since your opponent will not have successfully Xyz Summoned, and will be unlikely to Xyz Summon again that turn as they have lost all Materials, they will lose 4000 LP during the End Phase.
  • Note that cards such as "Kuriphoton", "Prime Material Dragon", "Rainbow Life", "Black-Winged Dragon", "One Day of Peace" and "Des Wombat" will NOT prevent the damage from this card's effect, as the Life Points are loss instead of taking damage.
    • Also note that, to avoid the loss of Life Points, there is no needed to use exactly the monsters Summoned with this card as Xyz Material. As long as any monster is Xyz Summoned with any Xyz Materials during the turn this card was activated, Life Points won't be loss.
  • If two Level 5 or higher monsters are Summoned by this effect and Normal Summon a "Heraldic Beast Berners Falcon", the effect of "Berner Falcon" reduce those monsters' Levels to 4, allowing yourself to Xyz Summon nearly any Rank 4 in the game.
  • This card may be used in "Steelswarm" Decks, as they have different Levels, and may be Tributed for other "Steelswarm" monsters. As some of them, like "Steelswarm Girastag", are able to give yourself some Life Points, it'll make up a part of the 4000 points that would be loss if there is no Xyz Summon this turn.
  • It is also important to note that there are cards that allow additional Normal Summons, such as "Ultimate Offering", enabling yourself to Xyz Summon even if this card's effect doesn't allow directly to do so.
  • Combine this with "Ceasefire" to inflict more damage to your opponent.
  • This card actually combines very well with the "Gagaga" series. For instance use this card to Summon "Gagaga Magician", "Gagaga Girl" and a Level 8 monster. Normal Summon "Gagaga Caesar" and use its effect to banish a Level 8 monster to change its own Level and the Levels of "Magician" and "Girl" to 8. Now there are 4 Level 8 monsters to work with. This works as long as there are at least 2 monsters in the Graveyard with the same Level: One to Summon with this card, and one to use for "Caesar".
  • Use this card in a "Super Quant" deck to quickly summon the three "Super Quantum" monsters to the field, then either Normal Summon "Super Quantal Fairy Alphan" and use its effect to make their levels all the same, or use the effect of "Super Quantal Mech Ship Magnacarrier" to Xyz Summon. Any "Super Quantum" monsters not used for an Xyz Summon can be attached to a newly summoned "Super Quantal" Xyz Monster to allow more usage from its effects.
  • Choose monsters that have effects that activate after they are Tributed, sent to the grave, or otherwise removed from the field. Those effects will not be negated by this card although more monsters will still unable to be Special Summoned with Levels.
  • Use high Leveled monsters that can be Normal Summoned without Tributes such as "Parsec, the Interstellar Dragon" or "Galaxy Knight" for an easy Rank 8 Xyz Summon with this card.
    • If one of your monsters Special Summoned from the Graveyard was a Level 8 monster, make sure the other 2 have high original ATK. Normal Summoned either of the above, and use them to Xyz Summon "Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon". Use its effect so that the other monsters' ATK returns to their original values, possibly giving yourself an OTK.
  • A good way to use this card is to use the unwanted monsters as Tributes for effects; such as "Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis".
    • Even better, if this card and a Level 8 monster that could be easily Normal Summoned without Tributes ("Galaxy Wizard" could also work) in your hand, and a Level 8 monster in your Graveyard. "Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis" could be Xyz Summoned, and then use the extra 2 monsters as Tributes to destroy 2 cards on your opponent's field.
  • A late-game, high-risk use for this card is to Special Summon three high ATK monsters while you have "Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" with an Xyz Material available. The effect of "Galaxy-Eyes" can reset the ATK of the Summoned monsters during the Battle Phase, enabling further offensive pressure if the player has more than 4000 LP.

Traditional Format

  • Use "Painful Choice" to quickly dump whatever monsters into your Graveyard before activating this card.
