- This card can be searched by "Spell Power Mastery", "Reflection of Endymion", "Endymion's Lab", "Timestar Magician", "Fool of Prophecy", "Reaper of Prophecy", "Justice of Prophecy", "Temperance of Prophecy", "Dark Renewal", "Dark Horizon", "Lemon Magician Girl", "Ebon High Magician", "Magician Navigation", "Spellbook Star Hall", "Spellbook of Judgment", "The Grand Spellbook Tower", "Dwarf Star Dragon Planeter", "Magical Contract Door", "Chaos Zone", "Additional Mirror Level 7", and other generic searchers.
- This card can be Tribute Summoned with one Tribute using "Double Coston" and "The First Monarch".
- This card can also be Tribute Summoned and Special Summoned by conventional means, such as "Magical Dimension"; however, Summoning this card by a means other than its own effect will not allow you to recover a Spell Card from your Graveyard.
- "Magical Blast" can be added to your hand every turn resulting in an endless supply of discard fodder for this card's effect.
- "Spell Power Grasp", "Gather Your Mind" and "Toon Table of Contents" can be used to speed up this card's summoning effect.
- Use "Recycle" with the above strategy to summon "Endymion" muliple times, recycling more spells.
- You can also speed up it's summon by taking advantage of "Bait Doll".
- "Endymion" makes a great target for "Diffusion Wave-Motion".
- "Endymion" also can be a good reusable tribute monster in the late game when you have a surplus of counters, and allow you to reuse more spells.
- A great example of this is "Great Maju Garzett", which would come out as a 5400 attack beatstick.
- In a well built Gemini/Spell Counter Deck, you can use this card to recycle "Supervise". Multiple times in the late game if you have many counters.
- "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" is another card which can be added to your hand from your graveyard every turn, but with it includes the added support of Iron Core anti-spell and trap cards, for instance "Iron Core Luster" or "Reckoned Power".
- Try to Special Summon this card from the graveyard, not the hand - it will mean a +2 in card advantage.
- Re-use a powerful spell card like "Smashing Ground" that can increase your card advantage.
- If you're making an "Endymion, the Master Magician"/Spell Counter Deck, a great card to run is "Foolish Burial". This will allow you to add a Spell Counter to "Magical Citadel of Endymion" and get "Endymion" to the Graveyard for the Special Summon later on. This also helps by thinning your deck and preventing him from becoming a dead draw if you don't have 6 Spell Counters on "Magical Citadel" already.
- Note though that this card is not really a dead draw if you have "Magical Dimension". Even though you do not get a magic card from the graveyard, you get an easily summoned 2700 beat stick with the ability to destroy any card on the field by discarding a magic card.
- Also, via "Magical Dimension's" effect, you can destroy a monster card, letting you save "Endymion's" effect for Spells/Traps.
- Note though that this card is not really a dead draw if you have "Magical Dimension". Even though you do not get a magic card from the graveyard, you get an easily summoned 2700 beat stick with the ability to destroy any card on the field by discarding a magic card.
- To quickly build up Spell Counters on the "Magical Citadel", activate "Pitch-Black Power Stone", then destroy it with "Mystical Space Typhoon" - the counters from the "Power Stone" will move to the "Citadel", as well as the one afforded by MST, giving you 4 of the 6 counters necessary to Special Summon Endymion
- Endymion can be used for the costs of "Deck Devastation Virus" and "Eradicator Epidemic Virus", and if you have 6 counters on "Magical Citadel of Endymion", for practically no cost and another spell to boot.
- By equipping "Wonder Wand" to this card and using its effect, you can then use this card's effect to retrieve this card and "Wonder Wand" from the graveyard and repeat this to draw until you run out of deck or spell counters.
- This card and "High Priestess of Prophecy" carries a very good synergy.
- Use Spellbook cards for accumulating Spell Counters on "Magical Citadel of Endymion". "Spellbook of Secrets" can help tremendously on this, since it can search another Spellbook while gaining Spell Counter at the same time.
- If Special Summoned with its own effect, Endymion can take one Spell Card from the Graveyard, best if you took a Spellbook Spell Card. If you have at least 3 Spellbook Spell Cards in your hand, you can reveal them for Special Summoning "High Priestess of Prophecy".
- Activate Endymion's effect by discarding a Spellbook to destroy a card, then "High Priestess" can banish the discarded Spellbook for destroying another card.
- They can also be used for Xyz Summoning "Hierophant of Prophecy".
- "Spellbook Magician of Prophecy" can search whatever Spellbook you may need, which can also be searched via "Apprentice Magician". "Apprentice Magician" itself can adding more Spell Counters when it is Summoned.
