• This card can be searched by "Kittytail, Mystical Beast of the Forest", "Tri-Brigade Shuraig the Ominous Omen", "Fire Fortress atop Liang Peak", "Aussa the Earth Charmer, Immovable", "BOXer", "Frontline Observer", "Witch of the Black Forest", "Link Party", and other generic searchers.

• This card can be Tribute Summoned with two Tributes (or three for its second effect) using "The Trojan Horse" and "The First Monarch".

• If this card was Normal Summoned by its effect without Tributing, and this card's effects was negated, its ATK will return to 3000, even after its effects are no longer negated. Take advantage of this with cards like "Skill Drain", "Forbidden Chalice", "Axe of Fools" and "Stand-Off".

• Send this card to the Graveyard with "Trade-In" or "Advance Draw", then Special Summon it later with "Call of the Haunted".

• This card can be useful in a Ritual Monster Deck as it has a decent amount of ATK if Normal Summoned without Tributing, but can serve as the whole Tribute for a Ritual Summon.

• Use "Inferno Reckless Summon" to garner Tributes for this card's 3-monster Tribute Summon. Whatever monsters your opponent Special Summons should not matter, as they will be destroyed when this card is Tribute Summoned.

• If there are no monsters on your field, "Obedience Schooled" can easily bring forth 3 monsters for this card's Tribute Summon.

• Use a card like "Limit Reverse" to Special Summon a Level 2 or higher Tuner monster from your Graveyard, then Special Summon "Doppelwarrior" with its effect. Synchro Summon a Level 4 or higher Synchro Monster and get 2 "Doppel Tokens", then Tribute both and the Synchro Monster to Tribute Summon this card.

• Combo this card with "Future Vision", especially by Normal Summoning this card via its effect without Tributing. When this banished card returns to the field, it will have 3000 ATK.
  • "Dimensionhole", "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", "Different Dimension Gate" and "Dimension Gate" can serve as substitutes.

• This card can be very useful to Xyz Summon a Rank 8 Xyz Monster, as it doesn't need Tributes to be Normal Summoned.

• Combo this card with "Magical Hats", assuming this card is Normal Summoned via its effect without Tributing. If your monster survives the Battle Phase, this card can be Flip Summoned with its full 3000 ATK.
