• Use "Remove Brainwashing" or "Owner's Seal" to keep all the "Dustons" you Summon.

• The easiest way to use this card's effect would be to ram it into an opponent's low-ATK monster (perhaps by first reducing that monster's ATK).
  • Use a card like "Darkworld Shackles" to reduce an opponent's monster's ATK to a reasonable amount. This also allows that monster to be easily destroyed later after you use this card.

• For optimal results, Summon (up to) 3 copies of "White Duston" and 2 copies of "House Duston" to your side of the field, while Summoning the other members of the "Duston" archetype with their negative effects to your opponent's side of the field.
  • After doing this, create a powerful combo by using 4 of your "Dustons" to Xyz Summon "Number 13: Embodiment of Crime" and "Number 31: Embodiment of Punishment". These two cards can lock down your opponent and force all of the "Dustons" they control to attack them, thereby triggering their effects.

• You can reuse this card's effect by Special Summoning it via "Kinka-byo".

• "Goblin King" works well with this card's effect. Since all "Duston" monsters are Fiend-Type, "Goblin King" can potentially reach 8000 ATK.

• Use cards like "Ceasefire" and "Just Desserts" to burn your opponent for extremely large quantities of damage at once.

• As an alternative strategy, this card can be used as a Deck thinner, since it can thin your Deck by up to 10 cards at once, although you should be careful with the "Duston" monsters' negative effects.

Traditional Format

• This card can be searched by "Last Will".

• If this card's effect is used successfully, "Kaiser Colosseum" can prevent the opponent from Summoning any further monsters.
