• If you have "The Melody of Awakening Dragon" and one "The White Stone of Legend", you can easy bring 3 copies of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your Deck to Special Summon this card with a 7200 ATK.
  • You can also use "The Melody of Awakening Dragon" to search two copies of "Nekroz of Decisive Armor" plus one "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" using "The White Stone of Legend" as cost.

• This card works well in a "Malefic" Deck, since all "Malefic" monsters have high Levels with the exception of "Malefic Parallel Gear".

• Use this card in an "Earthbound Immortal" Deck, to discard 3 copies of "Earthbound Immortal", this way this card will have 9000 ATK, then use "Lightning Vortex" and attack for a possible OTK.
  • You can use "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon any "Earthbound Immortal" you send to the Graveyard through this card's effect (be sure to have a Field Spell on the field before doing so).
  • Another possibility is to use "Dark Hole" before you Special Summon "Montage Dragon", thus destroying any face-down monsters your opponent might have as well as the face-up ones.

• This card is good in a high-Level Deck if you have Nomi-dead draws in your hand.

• This card can also be used as an offensive power in typically passive-defensive "Gusto" Decks and at the same time sending "Gusto" monsters to the Graveyard instead of waiting for a "Gusto" monster to be destroyed (thus allowing many effects of "Gusto" monster to take place faster).

• You can use "Summoner's Art" to get high Level monsters Normal Monsters (Eg. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon") to your hand, send them to Graveyard in-order to Summon this card and use "Birthright" to get the monster back.

• By using "Backup Soldier" you won't lose that much hand advantage, being able to recover up to 3 Normal Monsters, for the ability to Summon "Montage Dragon".

• This card works well with "Thunder Dragon" - discard one to get two of the pieces for "Montage Dragon". And this way, "Montage Dragon" will have a minimum of 3300 ATK.

• In a Dragon-Type Deck, you can send high-Level Dragons such as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to Summon a "Montage Dragon" with around 6000 ATK (if you send from Level 6 to 8 monsters) and then use "Dragon's Mirror" to Summon yet another powerful monster like "Five-Headed Dragon" or "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon".

• Level 10 monsters that can go in the Deck, such as "Armed Dragon LV10", are especially effective to discard.

• Discard 3 DARK monsters to Summon "Montage Dragon" and Special Summon "Dark Armed Dragon" easily this way.

• If you already have one "Lightsworn" in your Graveyard and about three in your hand, you can discard them to Summon "Montage Dragon" and prepare for "Judgment Dragon".

• "The Calculator" works great in a Deck with this.

• In a "Wicked God" Deck if you become unable to Summon them to the field you may ditch "The Wicked Avatar", "The Wicked Dreadroot" and "The Wicked Eraser" to ensure that "Montage Dragon" has high ATK while filling the Graveyard for "Dark Armed Dragon", "Dark Nephthys", "Dark Creator" and "Darklord Zerato".

• Summon "Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands" or "Senju of the Thousand Hands" to add high Level Ritual monsters to your hand.

• Make a Deck with Normal Monsters and the cards "Heart of the Underdog" and "Dark Factory of Mass Production" to have enough monsters to discard for "Montage Dragon".

• In order to avoid Dead Draws, try including high-Level monsters that can easily be Summoned alone, such as "Beast King Barbaros", "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast", "Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight" and "Cyber Dragon".

• "Genesis Dragon" and "Herald of Creation" can be used to help Summon this card.

• Use this card to fill your Graveyard with high Level Dragons, and then use "Decoy Dragon" to Summon one of them. Cards like "Battle Mania" can force your opponent to attack.

• When "Montage Dragon" is on the field, beware of cards such as "Book of Moon" that can switch your "Montage Dragon" into face-down Defense Position.

• "Montage Dragon" is good in a "Sacred Beast" Deck especially if you have multiple copies and are unable to Summon them, as well as a "Gate Guardian" Deck, when you have no ability to Summon the pieces or the whole, it can easily have 7500 ATK.

• If you run "Montage Dragon" in a Plant-Type Deck, you can send 3 copies of "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis" to the Graveyard, it will have 7200 ATK.

• "Montage Dragon" works well with "Earthbound Immortals" and "Dark Armed Dragon", as you can send 2 "Earthbound Immortal" monsters and one other DARK card to the Graveyard, then Summon "Dark Armed Dragon" to potentially do 10000+ damage.

• The maximum ATK this card can obtain by its effect is 10,800, which can only be achieved by discarding 3 Level 12 monsters, such as "Meklord Astro Mekanikle" or "Malefic Truth Dragon".

• You can Synchro Summon "Black Rose Dragon" to the field and send it to the Graveyard to destroy all cards on the field and Special Summon "Montage Dragon" from your hand and attack your opponent directly for a high amount of damage.

• You can discard three Dragons to help power up "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" or "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon".
  • This strategy is also useful with "Chaos Necromancer".
• Discard 3 monsters to Special Summon this card, then Tribute it for "Great Maju Garzett". Since the ATK of "Montage Dragon" is undetermined, the ATK gained from the discarded monsters is counted as its original ATK, meaning that "Great Maju Garzett" will be able to gain double its ATK for a maximum of 21,600.

• This card can be a surprising trump card in a "Dragon Ruler" Deck. Simply discard three of the "Dragon Rulers" to Special Summon this card with a whopping 6300 ATK. Your Graveyard will now be set up for further "Dragon Ruler" plays.

Traditional Format

• It is possible to create an OTK by using "Sangan" in combination with "Limit Reverse". Recycle "Sangan" to get 3 Level 10 monsters, like "Yubel" into your hand. You can then discard all 3 copies of "Yubel" to Special Summon "Montage Dragon" with a combined attack of 9000.

• You can use "Sangan" and "Witch of the Black Forest" to get "Yubel - Terror Incarnate" and "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare" which will give "Montage Dragon" at least a 3300 ATK.

• Use "Future Fusion", selecting "Five-Headed Dragon", and send 3 copies of "The White Stone of Legend" to the grave, then discard the 3 copies of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" that you got from their effects, to Summon this card with 7200 ATK. Since "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is a Normal Monster", you can also use the certain cards from Advanced Format advises.

• A good card to send is "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" since it's Level 10. It would make the ATK of "Montage Dragon" 9000, if along with other Level 10 monsters. If you use "Red-Eyes Wyvern" in your Deck, you can Special Summon them from the Graveyard later.

• Use "Future Fusion" or "Painful Choice" to send 3 copies of "The White Stone of Legend" to the Graveyard, giving you 3 copies of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to your hand to discard for this card and give it 7200 ATK.
  • If your opponent decides to give you 1 copy of "The White Stone of Legend" to your hand for the effect of "Painful Choice", discard it by "Cards of Consonance" to draw 2 cards and still get your "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to your Hand.
  • This card actually works quite well in a "Blue-Eyes Disaster Dragon" Deck, as you will get a lot of hand advantage and high Level monsters as well as being able to discard "Red-Eyes Wyvern" and "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" for another Summon, as long as you don't Normal Summon/Set, which you don't really need to do as it will have over 4200 ATK, or discard "White Stone of Legend" to search out "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
  • You can use "Shooting Star Bow - Ceal" and "Mage Power" to go for an OTK.
  • Using the Spell Card "Megamorph" with this card while you have less Life Points, than your opponent to double your ATK, and with three high Level cards a one hit kill can be possible.
