- This card always works well in any Side Deck, no matter what the current Metagame is.
- You can run this card in the main deck to get a round 1 advantage in a Match– if you can predict what style your opponent is playing.
- Use this card to prevent powerful or Splashable traps.
- Ban "Mirror Force" if you want to protect your monsters on the field, or "Heavy Storm" if you want to protect your continuous or face-down spell or trap cards.
- Use "Respect Play", "Trap Dustshoot", "Ceremonial Bell," "Fengsheng Mirror" or some other card to see your opponent's hand, then activate "Prohibition" to preemptively eliminate a threat.
- Use this card to help with summoning "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder" or "Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings" by prohibiting "Heavy Storm" or "Mystical Space Typhoon", as well as counting as one Continuous Spell to their summoning condition.
- This is one of few cards capable of preventing the summons of "Lava Golem" and "Volcanic Queen."
Declaring a key card against an archtype
- No matter what kind of deck one faces, every playing style has one or two "key cards" that the strategy hinges about. Use this card to "ban" that key card, and entire strategies will fall apart. Several examples can be found below:
- Declare "Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus" against a Crystal Beast Deck.
- Declare "Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit" against a mixed Dragon or pure "Hieratic" deck.
- Choose "Dark Armed Dragon" to cripple most Dark and Chaos decks.
- This can utterly cripple a Volcanic Deck, as the entire archetype revolves around manipulating "Blaze Accelerator" or "Blaze Accelerator Magazine".
- This card can shut down a Harpie deck by declaring "Harpie Lady" since it would not only prevent all monsters that are treated as "Harpie Lady" from being summoned, but also make many Harpie Lady support cards (e.g., Hysteric Party, Elegant Egotist, the first effect of Harpie's Hunting Ground, etc.) useless.
- If you are facing spellcasters, disable "Magical Citadel of Endymion," etc.
- You can declare important cards like "Krebons", "Junk Synchron" or "Destiny Hero - Malicious", that way you can stop your opponent from Summoning Synchro Monsters.
- If you are facing a "Gladiator Beast" deck, declare "Gladiator Beast Bestiari" to severely slow your opponent's strategies. Since "Bestiari" is the one that destroys Spell/Trap cards, your "Prohibition" will likely be safe. Also, it will prevent your opponent from playing "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus", since "Bestiari" cannot be used as a Fusion Material Monster.
- It will also prevent "Elemental Hero Prisma" from being used, as long as "Elemental Hero Prisma" was not on the field prior to the activation of "Prohibition."
- This card can work against a "Six Samurai" deck since it relies on "Kagemusha of the Six Samurai" to make its biggest plays.
- Since "Malefic" and "Earthbound Immortal" monsters require a Field Spell Card to survive on the battlefield, decks making use of these cards are usually reliant on a single card that the deck can Search easily (for example, "Malefic" monsters usually rely on "Malefic World"). If one uses this card to "ban" that Field Spell, it would severely cripple the opponent's deck.
