Card Tips:Rare Metal Dragon
- This card can be searched by "Single Purchase", "Temple of the Kings", "Transmodify", "Soul Rope", "Resonator Engine", "Vampire Dragon", "Summoner Monk", "Rescue Ferret", "Dark General Freed", "Creeping Darkness", "Chaos Zone", "Ninjitsu Art of Transformation", "Dragonic Guard", "Starliege Dragon Seyfert", "Draconnection", "Dragunity Corsesca", "Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg", "Witch of the Black Forest" and "Hieratic Dragon King of Atum".

- You can also Pendulum Summon this card.
- Cards such as "Call of the Haunted", or preferably "Dragon's Rebirth", can also be used to Summon this card.
- If you happen to have this card in your hand, use "King Dragun" to easily Special Summon it. This way, you'll have two behemoths with 2400 ATK, that cannot be targeted by opponent's effects.
- With "Zombie World" on the field, you can Special Summon this card quickly when combined with cards like "Zombie Master", "Mezuki", or "Book of Life".
- In addition when this card is used in a Zombie themed deck, "Zombina" would be a perfect card to bring "Rare Metal Dragon" to the field from the GY when Zombina's effect gets triggered, this works even without the need to rely on the effect of "Zombie World" in this case.
- This card is perfect in a "Hopeless Dragon" deck; it is a level 4 DARK monster that can be dumped through "Armageddon Knight", summoned by "Dark Horus" and "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", or banished to activate the effect of "The Dark Creator".
- The following strategy may help you gain ground at the Duel. Activate "Summoner Monk's" effect, Special Summoning this monster from your Deck. Equip it with "Demotion", decreasing his level to 2, then activate either "Gravity Bind" or "Level Limit - Area B". "Rare Metal Dragon" shall be the strongest offender on the field.
- Since this card cannot be Normal Summoned it's a perfect card to discard for another effect's cost and can easily be brought to the field through effects which directly resurrect from the GY like "Call of the Haunted", "Zombina", "The Creator", etc.
- Because this card's effect is only relevant for its own Summoning it does work well in a deck which mainly focuses around Normal/non-effect monsters and to benefit such monsters in combination with monster effect negating cards like "Skill Drain".
Traditional Format
- This card can be searched by "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms".
- "Cyber Jar" can be used to Summon "Rare Metal Dragon.
- Discard this card as cost for any effect and easily resurrect it with "Monster Reborn".
