• You can gain a quarter of your life points back with "Life Absorbing Machine".

• Use this card in a deck with life point increase based decks or "Final Countdown" decks.

• This card is useful against powerful monsters that Special Summon themselves, such as Judgment Dragon, Dark Armed Dragon or Synchro Monsters.

• A good card to follow up with after you use this card is Megamorph, as your Life Points will probably be lower than your opponent's after using this card. Another good follow up card is D.D. Crow to remove whatever card you just destroyed. This will all but cripple most decks focused on a particular card.

• Use this card with "Meltiel, Sage of the Sky" to gain back life points.

• This cannot be used on cards that get summoned via an effect, such as "Mystic Tomato", "Shining Angel" and "Nova Summoner"

• Your Life Points cannot drop to 0 by using this card. The less Life Points you have, the less costly it becomes to use this card, significantly increasing its usefulness towards the end game (EX. You can pay 4000 Life Points at the very beginning (when your Life Points are at 8000) to secure an "OTK", if you can pull it off, or you can pay an amount as low as 5 to negate a crucial summon from your opponent, opening him up for a finishing blow).
  • Keeping this in mind, you can use this in place of Seven Tools of the Bandit when you have 1000 or less Life Points, as you can activate this card no matter what.
