• This card can be searched by "Trap Tracks", "Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle", "Lilith, Lady of Lament", "Triple Tactics Thrust", "Angel of Blue Tears", "Farewelcome Labrynth", "Labrynth Set-Up", and other generic searchers.

• This card can work exceptionally well in a "Tempest Magician" Deck. By using the effect of "Tempest Magician" to turn cards in your hand into Spell Counters to increase the damage for its own effect (or by using a lot of Spell Cards to activate the effects of other Spellcasters under your control who gain Spell Counters through their own effects, such as "Magical Exemplar"), the conditions for the effect of "Magical Explosion" well also be set.

• All the cards in your hand can be discarded with ease by using the Spell Card "Allure of Darkness", plus it adds another 200 damage to this cards effect because it will go to the Graveyard also.

• 3 "Toon Table of Contents" can be used with "Toon World" to thin your Deck by 4 cards, get 3 Spells in the Graveyard, and have an extra Spell in your hand to discard. Other Deck thinning Spells like "Gather Your Mind", "Terraforming", "Summoner's Art", "Dark World Dealings", "Hand Destruction", "Card Destruction", "Spell Power Grasp", "Reinforcement of the Army" and "Dragged Down into the Grave" can be used. This way, Spells are sent to your Graveyard and can still get cards into your hand.
  • "Endymion, the Master Magician" can even be used to reuse your Spells after you get enough Spell Counters for "Magical Citadel of Endymion".
• "Monster Gate" and "Reasoning" or other self-milling cards (preferably Spells although "Lightsworn" may work) can also help so long as your "Magical Explosion" is not lost.
• "Fusion Sage" can also be used with "Polymerization", using Deck thinners like "Summoner's Art" to get more Spells in your Graveyard. Then "Pot of Avarice" can be played to draw and reuse your "Thunder Dragon" or other Fusion Materials, like "Dark Paladin" using both "Dark Magician" and "Buster Blader" that have Spell Cards such as "Emblem of Dragon Destroyer" to get "Buster Blader" or "Summoner's Art" and "Dark Magic Curtain" to get "Dark Magician".

• This card can belong in a Deck of its own by using the Magical Explosion FTK as a template. It just need to be modify a bit since that article had several banned cards, such as "Dimension Fusion". "Destiny HERO - Malicious" and other Token cards can be used as 3 monsters are Tribued for "Destiny HERO - Dogma" or "Destiny HERO - Plasma". Just follow several of the mentioned tips so long as they let your Deck be drawn and/or thin, or let Tokens be used, such as "Dandylion" which can easily be discarded, "Fires of Doomsday", or even "Scapegoat" as those 2 monsters are Special Summons and not Tribute Summons, but there is also a need to wait until your next turn to Tribute them for "Plasma" or "Dogma". Definitely use "Pot of Avarice" to get a Spell in your Graveyard and reuse "Elemental HERO Stratos" amongst other monsters that well be need in addition to slow down your rate of Decking out. However, because this Deck is heavily dependent upon drawing and discarding Spells, "Reasoning" or "Monster Gate" may not be used because "Dogma" and "Prisma" are Nomi monsters and they be lost (or your draw Spells without using them) instead of using them to discard for drawing Spells such as "Trade-In", "Card Destruction" or "Destiny Draw".
  • "Grinder Golem" and "Treeborn Frog" make Summoning "Dogma" and "Plasma" much easier (the effect of "Treeborn" counts as a Special Summon), plus "Grinder Golem" could be used for "Trade-In" or use "One for One" to Special Summon "Treeborn" or any Level 1 monsters, like "Cyber Valley", immediately from your Deck. Just remember to get that necessary "Destiny HERO" to Tribute for "Dogma".

• This card can work well with an "Infernity" Deck.

• You can use the card "Full Salvo" to discard all of the cards in your hand, allowing you to use this card.

Countering

• "Royal Decree", and "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" will pin this card down while they are face-up. Because of this, Horus Lockdown is one of the worst Decks a user of this card can face.
• "Rainbow Life" will cause you to gain that much LP instead, making it of them one of the greatest threats to a Magical Explosion FTK Deck.
