• This card can be searched by "Dark Contract with the Gate", "D/D Gryphon", "D/D/D Human Resources", "Wandering King Wildwind", "Alice, Lady of Lament", "Resonator Command", "Ariane the Labrynth Servant", "Frightfur Meister", "Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane", "Chaofeng, Phantom of the Yang Zing", "Stygian Security", "Sky Scourge Cidhels", "Lucent, Netherlord of Dark World", "Chaos Zone", "Mystic Potato", "Mystic Tomato", "One for One", "Where Arf Thou?", "Jack-In-The-Hand", "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", "Packet Link", "Mimiclay", "Serpentine Princess", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Rescue Ferret", "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord", "Sangan", and other generic searchers.

• This card is a principal component in many useful combos which revolve around combinations of itself, "D/D Swirl Slime", and "D/D Necro Slime" to successively summon a number of potent "D/D/D" Extra Deck monsters in a single turn. The most significant combos are explained here.

• One could use a "Dark Contract with the Swamp King" to get this card into the Graveyard and trigger its effect to send "Dark Contract with the Swamp King" to the Graveyard, which can then be used to Synchro Summon with the Fusion Summoned monster (and avoid effect damage, provided there aren't any "D/D/D Oracle King d'Arcs" or any healing effects available).

• This card will not be banished after it is special summoned if it is used to Xyz Summon. If "D/D Berfomet" is on the field, you can use its effect to change "Lamia"'s level to match "Berfomet"'s, and Xyz summon with them. Since Berfomet's original level is 4, this easily opens up access to useful Rank 4 Xyz Monsters.

• While this card's effect allows it to be special summoned from the hand, it may be more useful to normal summon this card (or special summon it through another card's effect, such as "Swirl Slime"), and so that you can use it to synchro summon twice in one turn.
  • For example, if you have a Level 6 monster on the field, normal summon "Lamia" and use it to synchro summon "D/D/D Gust King Alexander". Then, send a card from your hand or field to the graveyard to special summon "Lamia" from the graveyard and tune it with "Gust King Alexander" to synchro summon "D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried" or "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon".
    • "Lamia" can also be special summoned from the graveyard by "Gust King Alexander"'s effect (if you still have methods of summoning additional monsters), further emphasizing how important it is to not use Lamia's effect until you run out of other ways to special summon it.

• Be wary that sending e.g. a "D/D" card from the field to the GY is a cost, so "D/D" Pendulum cards cannot be selected (as they cannot be sent from the field to the GY).
