- Vice Dragon is extremely good for synchro summoning monsters like Oracle of the Sun.
- If you Normal Summon this card, you can use Shield and Sword to reverse it's ATK and DEF.
- If you Summoned this card without Tribute, and then "Skill Drain" is later activated, the ATK and DEF are no longer halved. If "Skill Drain" is later destroyed, the ATK and DEF still remain at 2000 and 2400.
- This card can be used as an alternative to "Cyber Dragon" for the purposes of tribute fodder or a quick Synchro Summon. Since you will usually summon this when you have less cards on the field than your opponent, you may wish to Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon to clear the field.
- Dragon Decks often require tribute fodder, and using this card (rather than Cyber Dragon) allows you to use Solidarity or other Dragon support cards:
- If you special summon this card, then activate "A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon", you can simply special summon it again after it returns to your hand.
- This card will work well with "Strong Wind Dragon", giving it an automatic ATK increase of 1000 after you tribute "Vice Dragon".
- You can also Tribute it for "Tiger Dragon" so you can use "Tiger Dragon's" effect
- Its effect also allows it to dodge "Bottomless Trap Hole". You can then use A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon or Stamping Destruction to destroy your opponent's trap(s) before synchro or tribute summoning a more powerful monster.
- This cards works well with "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" by filling in the need for a dragon to be removed from play to Special Summon "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" if you don't have another lower level Dragon to normal summon. If "Vice Dragon" is used this way, it also saves you a normal summon.
- If you Special Summon this card and use "Inferno Reckless Summon", you can Special Summon another two copies of it from your Deck or Graveyard.
- This monster may be an alternate Tribute Fodder for monsters like The Tricky or Gilasaurus.
- This card works well with "Advance Force".
- Use this card with "Nitro Synchron" to easily summon "Nitro Warrior".
- This card allows "Exploder Dragonwing" and "Dark End Dragon" to be Synchro Summoned easily.
Traditional Format
- When you summoned this card without Tribute it has the correct requirements to activate "Crush Card Virus".
