• This card can be searched by "Charge of the Light Brigade", "Rescue Cat", "Baby Raccoon Ponpoko", "Baby Raccoon Tantan", "Obedience Schooled", "Melffy Puppy", "Melffy Catty", "Armored White Bear", "Kittytail, Mystical Beast of the Forest", "Desmanian Devil", "Super-Nimble Mega Hamster", "Key Mouse", "Ninjitsu Art of Transformation", "Master of Ham", "Tindangle Jhrelth", "Subterror Behemoth Fiendess", "Subterror Succession", "Prediction Princess Tarotreith", "Spirit of the Fall Wind", "Photon Veil", "Shining Angel", "Shadow's Light", "Rai-Mei" "Chaos Zone", "Gigantic Spright", "Small Scuffle", "Packet Link", "Mimiclay", "Serpentine Princess", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Rescue Ferret", "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.

• This card can be very powerful by using its effect to send the top three cards to the Graveyard, which could turn out to be cards like "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast", "Treeborn Frog", "Destiny HERO - Malicious", "Volcanic Shell", who all work very well in the Graveyard or any monster that could be brought back.

• This card works great in a Zombie Deck. Almost any good Zombie-Type card can be placed in the Graveyard and either revive it (with "Il Blud", "Zombie Master" etc.), or use its effect (like "Mezuki").

• Use the card in a Gemini monsters Deck to mill monsters in to the grave for later revival by "Black Brutdrago", "Blazewing Butterfly", "Phoenix Gearfried" or "Supervise".

• This card can help meet the Summoning conditions of "Woodland Archer".

• Being a LIGHT Beast-Type monster, this can work well with "Ojama" and/or "Raccoon" monsters, particularly if the Deck contains only Beast-Type monsters, as it won't affect "Solidarity".

• This card can combo with "Gladiator Beast" monsters. It makes a good bluff when your opponent thinks that "Gladiator Beast Hoplomus" is face-down. Also, its milling effect can be useful for when "Gladiator Beast Equeste" is used to bring them back to your hand.
  • However, since most "Gladiator Beast" Decks only run few monsters, this card will most likely mill Spell/Trap Cards rather than Monster Cards, so be careful.

• This card can be Special Summoned by "Debris Dragon". "Debris" can be Normal Summoned to bring this card back, and if there is a "Doppelwarrior" in your hand, "Doppelwarrior" can be Special Summoned and together they can Synchro Summon a "Scrap Dragon".
  • If not, they can still be used for Synchro Summoning "Orient Dragon" or "Iron Chain Dragon".

• Ironically, this card sees more play OUTSIDE of the "Lightsworn" Deck. They usually only use 1 or 2 as it is deemed too "slow". However in Decks such as Plants and "Flamvell", it sees play in three, as it fuels your Graveyard with "Dandylion" and "Spore" and provides fuel for "Rekindling".

• In "Gusto" Decks, this card can be useful as Side Deck card for countering many Side Deck cards like "Vanity's Emptiness", "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo", "Macro Cosmos", etc.
  • If any "Gusto" monster is milled this way, they can be shuffled back into your Deck later with "Caam, Serenity of Gusto" or other "Gusto" support cards.
  • It also works nicely with "Junk Synchron", whose commonly found in most pure-ish "Gusto" Decks.
