• The 800 ATK gain is quite significant, and multiple "Solidarity" cards stack their boosts, so some Decks can get away with running 2 or 3 copies of this card. Theme a deck or Archetype around one Monster Type and this card will prove quite useful. Some Decks that can use it handily are below...
  • "Zombie" Decks ("Zombie World" and "DNA Surgery" will not help because "Solidarity" uses the printed Types on Monster Cards)
  • "Plant" Decks
    • Tributing a "Lonefire Blossom" will easily give your summoned Plant monster an attack boost.
  • "Psychic" Decks
    • Psychics have a decent amount of Psychic Tuners with powerful Synchros at their disposal so this is still feasible.
  • "Dragon" Decks
    • They're among the Types if not the Type with the most Synchros, Tuners, Xyz Monsters, and support cards related to them.
  • "Elemental HERO" (If you do not use Fusion Substitute Monsters)
  • "Destiny HERO" Deck
  • "Six Samurai" Deck
  • "Blackwing" Deck
  • "Venom" Deck
  • Spell Counter Decks (Forgoing outliers like "Armor Exe" and "Dark Valkyria")
  • "Worm" Deck (Without such support cards as "Honest")
  • "Alien" Deck
  • "Frog" Deck (Beatdown Decks using "Junk Warrior" will have difficulty with this)
  • "Fortune Lady" Deck
  • "Meklord" Deck
  • "Disaster Dragon" Deck
  • "Watt" Deck (Without "Wattaildragon")
  • "Dark World" Deck
  • "Machina Gadget" Deck
  • "LV Dragon" Decks
  • "Blackwing" Deck
  • "Hieratic" Deck

• "Burden of the Mighty" can further widen the ATK gap between your Monsters and those of your enemy.

• If your opponent is using "Solidarity", "DNA Surgery" can change their monsters to a Type not in their Graveyard, costing their Monsters the ATK boost.
  • "DNA Surgery" can also change monsters on your side of the Field to the Type in your Graveyard (giving them the boost), but once they themselves get destroyed, the boost will be halted.

• Decks involving Reptiles can add "Viper's Rebirth", which also requires all of a single type of Monster in one's Graveyard.

• This card works very well with "The Immortal Bushi" in a pure Warrior deck, and even better with "Colossal Fighter".

• Tokens and Trap Monsters will not count as a monster in the Graveyard when they are destroyed.

• Tuners, Synchro Monsters and Xyz Monsters can easily ruin this card's effect. Below are some options to counteract this.

• • "Plaguespreader Zombie" may be used in non-Zombie Decks because it can remove itself from the Graveyard when destroyed.
  • Using "Soul Release" to remove monsters of different Types from your Graveyard so you only have one Type.
  • Monsters like "Chaos Sorcerer" can remove monsters in your Graveyard if they are LIGHT or DARK.
