"The Winged Dragon of Ra":

This card can be searched by "Ancient Chant", "The True Sun God", "The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode", "The True Name", "Mound of the Bound Creator", "Thunderspeed Summon", and other generic searchers.

This card can easily be Summoned in a "Numeron Gate" deck. Use "Numeron Calling" to Special Summon at least three "Numeron Gate" monsters which can then be used to Tribute Summon this card.
In a "Horus" deck, use "King's Sarcophagus" to Special Summon at least three of the "Horus" monsters from the GY which can then be used to Tribute Summon this card.
- If used in conjunction with "Ancient Chant", this can allow this card to gain an incredibly high ATK.
- If all four "Horus" monsters are Summoned, the remaining monster not used as Tribute for this card can be used as fodder for this card's effect.
Use "Soul Crossing" to Summon this card using three of your opponent's monsters.
A "Gadget" deck may serve as a useful engine for swarming the Field through cards such as "Gold Gadget", "Silver Gadget", "Infinitrack Anchor Drill" and "Tin Goldfish" to then be used as Tribute for this card in conjunction with "Ancient Chant."
You can use "Phantom of Chaos" to banish "The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode" from your Graveyard, then activate its effect as the effect of "Phantom of Chaos", and immediately Summon "Ra" a second time, if you already tributed "Sphere Mode".
- "Phantom of Chaos" can also copy the effects of "Immortal Phoenix" this way, clear out your opponent's field before Summoning a copy of "Sphere Mode" during the End Phase, ignoring its Summoning Conditions.
Use monsters such as "Marshmallon", "Spirit Reaper", and "Aroma Jar" that cannot be destroyed by battle, which will ensure you will have plenty of monsters to tribute for "Ra" if they are not destroyed by card effects.
- You can also use "Aroma Jar" in combination with "Poison of the Old Man", "Nimble Momonga", and "Spell Absorption" to quickly gain a lot of life points in preparation for summoning "Ra" with at least 20,000 ATK. These cards can also be used to regain LP paid for the cost paid when you Tribute Summon "Ra" within a few turns. At least one copy of "Aroma Jar" should be left on the field in case Ra is destroyed. - Also combine with "Aroma Garden" to further increase LP.

Use "Mound of the Bound Creator" and/or "March of the Monarchs" can make "Ra" immune to card effects that target or destroy. Use "Field Barrier", "Card Guard", or "Magic Reflector" to protect them from being easily destroyed.

Use "Soul Exchange" or "The Monarchs Stormforth" to Tribute Summon this card by using one of your opponent's monsters.
- You can use "Escalation of the Monarchs" or "Ultimate Offering" (Traditional Format only) with "The Monarchs Stormforth" to Tribute Summon "Ra" during your opponent's turn.

You can "The First Monarch" to Tribute Summon this card with one less tribute by declaring DIVINE as its type. However, this can be tricky if you do not already have 3 or more monsters to tribute, though as declaring DIVINE to change its Attribute would prevent yourself from Special Summoning any monster whose Attribute does not match, like the commonly used Tribute fodders "Level Eater" and "The Tricky".

"Evil HERO Infernal Prodigy", "Dynatherium", "Gilasaurus", "Turbo Booster", "Treeborn Frog", "Trap Monsters" and "Jester Confit" are excellent monsters to use for this card's Summon. If there is a prefer to maintain advantage, use cards like "Majiosheldon" in a Tribute Summon Deck.
Summon this card using "Hardened Armed Dragon" to protect it from destruction by card effects.

Provided an Xyz Monster can be placed fast on the field, "Corrupted Keys" can generate instant Tribute fodder for this card.

Combine "Nightmare Archfiends" with "Owner's Seal" to Special Summon 3 monsters to Tribute Summon this card.

In a Psychic Deck, "Telekinetic Power Well" can be used in order to Summon 3 Level 2 or lower Psychic-Type monsters to fulfill this card's Summoning requirements.

Use "Sebek's Blessing" to restore the LP paid to increase this card's ATK.

Use "Power Frame" to make this card have the same ATK as a monster your opponent controls without the need to decrease your LP to be able to have enough ATK to stay alive and destroy monsters on the field.

This card works well with "Number C39: Utopia Ray" and "Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss", since the effect of this card gets your LP low enough to use the effect of "Utopia Ray" or "Shark Drake Veiss" for more damage.

If two "Flint Locks", "Flint" and "Morale Boost" are under your control, then "Flint" can continuously be equipped, switching between the two "Flint Locks", while "Morale Boost" gives yourself 1000 LP each time it was used. This can be repeated infinitely, effectively giving yourself access to an astronomically high LP. By using "Inferno Reckless Summon" to get 3 "Flint Locks" on and doing the loop, they can then be Tributed to Summon this card after gaining enough LPs for an OTK.

If you run a swarm deck, it is best to have this card in your side deck in case your opponent has "The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode", so you can use its effect to benefit you before it can be returned to its owner.

-** Set The First Monarch in your spell/trap zone. (The First Monarch is a Trap Monster). Activate it ASAP, then immediately discard Amarylease from your hand for the effect of The First Monarch, declaring DIVINE so that The First Monarch's attribute changes to DIVINE. Now The First Monarch counts as two tributes for the tribute summon of a DIVINE attribute monster (any one of the three Egyptian Gods).
+** If used in conjunction with "[[Ancient Chant]]", this can allow this card to gain an incredibly high [[ATK]].
+** If all four "Horus" monsters are Summoned, the remaining monster not used as Tribute for this card can be used as fodder for this card's effect.

-:* Use "[[Rain of Mercy]]" before activating that trap. Be careful to decide whether you want to activate this card before or after summoning "Ra". Activating it before would give Ra and extra 1000 ATK, but on the other hand activating it after summoning would allow you to use "Ra"'s destruction effect once more. Either way your opponent would have 1000 more life points while you are left with 100 total, thereby increasing your chances of meeting "Life Equalizer"'s requirements.
-* If you control two [[Flint Lock]]s, [[Flint]], and [[Morale Boost]], then you can continuously equip Flint, switching between the two Flint Locks, while Morale Boost gives you 1000 Life Points each time you do so.

Adding [[Spell Absorption]] to this cycle will add an extra 500 points for each time you do this, boosting your life points even higher. By using [[Inferno Reckless Summon]] to gt 3 Flint Lock monsters on and doing the loop, you can then tribute them to Summon Ra after gaining enough lps for an OTK.

-* Use "[[Soul Exchange]]" to sacrifice your opponent's most powerful monster to help clear the field (at the same time you will only have to sacrifice 2 of your monsters). This can also be helpful to get rid of [[Stardust Dragon]] and other similar cards, which can easily get in the way of this card's second effect.
+* Provided an [[Xyz Monster]] can be placed fast on the field, "[[Corrupted Keys]]" can generate instant Tribute fodder for this card.
