• Using Level Up! on Silent Magician LV4 is a much quicker way to Summon Silent Magician LV8, than using its own effect. A good combo is using Shining Angel or Magician's Circle to Special Summon Silent Magician LV4 to the field, then using Level Up!.

• Swords of Revealing Light can prevent the opponent from attacking, while Silent Magician LV4 gains a higher ATK from its Spell Counters.

• Pitch-Black Power Stone and Spell Power Grasp are Trap and Spell Cards that can place Spell Counters directly on Silent Magician LV4. Apprentice Magician, Tempest Magician, Alchemist of Black Spells and Crusader of Endymion are monsters that also have the ability to put Spell Counters on another card. Chainsaw Insect, Morphing Jar, The Bistro Butcher, Dark Bribe, Hand Destruction, Mind Wipe , Disturbance Strategy, Upstart Goblin, The Gift of Greed,reload, or Card Destruction can be used to make your opponent draw cards.

• Dark Bribe, Hand Destruction, Card Destruction, Dark World Dealings, and Morphing Jar all let your opponent draw, while giving you an advantage in some form.

• Combine this card with Secret Village of the Spellcasters. Since it is a Spellcaster, your opponent wont be able to activate any spell cards, and once it has five spell counters on it, it will have ATK equal to Silent Magician LV8, only you won't have to hassle with the summoning requirements (especially if its LV 8 form is in the graveyard or removed from play).

• This card works great with "Defender, the Magical Knight" as the spell counters on it will supply it plenty to use it defense effect and when your opponent draws a new card it will regain spell counters.

• This card works well with Tempest Magician as it can add most of the counters instantly, or if it has five spell counters on it already you can deal your opponent an instant 2500 life point damage then replenish them.

• In a deck with Magical Citadel of Endymion, it might actually be more beneficial to not level this card up. If this card gains 5 counters and is destroyed with Magical Citadel of Endymion on the field, you could easily special summon Endymion, the Master Magician when the counters are saved by the field spell.

• This card, combined with DNA Transplant, works well with Shadow Delver, especially when loaded with counters.

• Use Honest if your opponent attacks this card card with a powerful monster.

• This card is useful in a Deck that abuses the effect of Greed. Allow your opponent to draw outside of the Draw Phase (see above); not only will you damage your opponent at the end of your turn, you will also load this card with counters and increase its ATK. Level Modulation can also be used to recover this card (or its more powerful form) from the Graveyard.

• Equipping this card with Unstable Evolution is incredibly practical, as when your life points are lower it will gain and additional 1400 attack points (for a max of 4900 attack with 5 counters), but if your life points are higher, Silent Magician's original attack simply goes back to normal.
  • When you're life points are higher, use Equip Shot to lower an opponent's powerful monster to 1000 attack and force it to battle your more powerful Silent Magician.
