• This card combos well with the 'Elemental Dragons'. Each dragon has a specific effect when it is banished.

• This works excellently with Chaos Zone, granting you 5 counters, which is enough to instantly Summon a monster that is banished. (Not to mention, it can banish the monster you want to Special Summon via Chaos Zone)

• This card is also good with "Exchange of the Spirit".

• This card is an excellent counter-strategy against an "Exodia Necross" or "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" strategy.

• Use this card with "Soul Absorption" to gain up to 2500 Life Points.

• Use this card in a "Dark Armed Dragon" Deck to manage the number of DARK Monsters in your Graveyard, a Guardian Eatos deck to make sure you can Special Summon her with her effect, or in an "Archlord Kristya" deck to manage the number of Fairy monsters in your Graveyard.

• This card can heavily damage a Batteryman Deck, since Batteryman Industrial Strength relies on Thunder types in the Graveyard, and Batteryman AA's are useless if they are alone.

• This card can be used to lower the ATK of "Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes", "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes", etc.

• Use this card against Twilight Deck to remove Necro Gardna and Lightsworn monsters from the opponent's Graveyard, preventing any attack cancellation or the effects of Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner and Judgment Dragon.

• When your opponent is playing a Dragon deck, use this card to remove dragons from their Graveyard to avoid them Summoning Five-Headed Dragon with Dragon's Mirror.

• This card can easily power-up your Doomsday Horror.

• This card works as a counter strategy to "Stardust Dragon" and "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" as you can remove from your opponent's Graveyard after your opponent has activated their negating effects.

• This card can be very helpful in decks that use Necroface. If you remove Necroface with the effect of Gold Sarcophagus and activate its effect, then activate Soul Release to banish cards from your Graveyard, you can then return those cards back to your deck once you get Necroface back from Gold Sarcophagus's effect and Summon it. You could even remove Spell and Trap cards to reuse them later, not to mention the additional attack boost for Necroface.

• This card is great to "kill" Decks which heavily rely on the Graveyard, such as Blackwings, Infernitys, X-Sabers, Quickdraw Dandywarrior or Fableds.

• This card can give a quick boost to monsters that gain attack from banished cards, such as Gren Maju Da Eiza and the Helios line.

• This card is extremely useful against Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes and Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes by removing Reptile monsters from the Graveyard.
