"Ice Barrier" monsters have several acceptable monsters for this card's Special Summoning cost. Additionally, the bouncing of all Spell and Trap Cards fits the theme of "Ice Barrier" Decks and can provide fuel for "Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" or other such cards.

Most Level 3 or lower WATER monsters are acceptable targets for "Salvage" or "Surface" which reduces this card's Special Summoning cost.

"Wind-Up Shark" can be used to summon this card by using its effect to make itself Level 3.

If you have 3 copies of "Atlantean Pikeman" in your Graveyard, you can use "Tri-Wight" to bring them back and use them for the effect of "Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon". If you keep getting "Tri-Wight" back to your hand, you can keep Special Summoning this monster multiple times.

Use "Call of the Atlanteans" in your opponent end phase to Special Summon 3 Level 3 or lower Sea Serpent-Type monsters. Then during your turn, you can tribute them to Special Summon this card (if the special summoned Sea Serpent-Type monsters are WATER).

If you have this card and "Call of the Atlanteans" set on your opponent's turn. Activate "Call of the Atlanteans" to Special Summon your monsters, then during your turn you can summon another "Poseidra" and Xyz Summon "Mermail Abyssgaios" or any other Rank 7 monster, or attack with both "Poseidras" and then Xyz Summon for a Rank 7.

When this card is special summoned by its own effect it removes spells/traps with negative influence on it (like "Gravity Bind")..So this card could be played in a stall deck.
