• This card can be searched by "Trap Trick", "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 flip a monster face-down to reuse its effects that either activate when flipped face-up (such as Flip monsters) or activate only once while face-up on the field (such as "Wind-Up" monsters).

• The two additional monsters Summoned by this card make it much easier to fulfill the activation requirement for "Needle Ceiling", and since they are Summoned face-down, they will not be destroyed by that card.

• Cards that return monsters from the field to the hand, like "Compulsory Evacuation Device" or "Sound the Retreat!", can be used to return the Summoned Spells/Traps to the hand.

• The Summoning of Spells/Traps can activate "Flame Swordsdance", then one of them can be Tributed to activate that card's GY effect.

• The Spells/Traps Summoned by this card can be used as material to Fusion Summon a monster by using a Quick-Play Spell or Trap that can Fusion Summon, such as "Super Polymerization" or "Branded in Red", but they cannot be used as a material that requires a certain Level, Type, or Attribute, as they do not have those properties.
  • "First of the Dragons" can utilize both Spells/Traps as Fusion Material as they are considered Normal Monsters.
  • Likewise, "Branded in Red" can utilize both Spells/Traps as Fusion Material to Summon "Guardian Chimera" as long as both have different names.
  • Summoning "Metalfoes Fusion" or "Metalfoes Combination" will allow "Super Polymerization" to Fusion Summon "Metalfoes Adamante" or "Metalfoes Crimsonite" using the opponent's monsters.
    • "Fullmetalfoes Fusion" can also use these "Metalfoes" Spells/Traps as material. In particular, "Metalfoes Orichalc" and "Fullmetalfoes Alkahest" can be Fusion Summoned using only the two Summoned Spells/Traps.
  • "Ojama" Decks can Fusion Summon "Ojama Knight" by using Summoned "Ojama" Spells/Traps as material.

Cards that work well with this card due to being Summoned and destroyed

For tips on Spells/Traps that work well in the GY in general, see Card Tips: Foolish Burial Goods.

In addition to the synergies listed above, this card works well with Spells/Traps that need to be destroyed or sent from the field to the GY.

General Tips

• "7" and "Magic Formula" will cause a player to gain LP when they are sent from the field to the GY.
• "Ancient Gear Tank", "Black Pendant", "Fuhma Shuriken" and "Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button" deal damage when they are destroyed and sent to the GY, although the latter will deal damage to its owner if it is not attacked and destroyed by an opponent's monster.
• "Dark Coffin", "Statue of the Wicked", "Wild Tornado" and "Z-ONE" activate their effects if they are destroyed while Set, so they work best if this card is activated during the End Step so they can't be attacked and flipped face-up before being destroyed.
• "Cursed Armaments" equips itself to an opponent's monster when it's sent from the field to the GY.
• "Moon Mirror Shield" can put itself on the top of the Deck for use next turn when it's sent from the field to the GY.
• If an effect that banishes cards that would be sent to the Graveyard is active, such as "Macro Cosmos" or the Pendulum Effect of "Antihuman Intelligence ME-PSY-YA", Summoning copies of "Xyz Dimension Splash" with this card during the End Step will cause them to be banished while Set, and Summon many Level 8 WATER monsters from the Deck.

Themed Tips

• "Ancient Gear": Copies of "Geartown" can Special Summon powerful "Ancient Gear" monsters from the Deck, like "Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon", when they are destroyed.
• "Aquaactress": Copies of "Aquarium Set" or "Aquarium Stage" can Special Summon WATER monsters from the GY when they are sent from the field to the GY.

• Gemini monster: Copies of "Supervise" will Special Summon Normal Monsters from the GY when they are sent from the field to the GY, but only if sent while face-up (either by being flipped by an effect or by being attacked).
• "Harpie": "Hysteric Sign" can search 3 monsters during the End Phase when it's sent from the field to the GY. ("Hysteric Sign's" effect can only be used once per turn, so it isn't beneficial to Summon two of them.)
• "Karakuri": Copies of "Karakuri Showdown Castle" can Special Summon Level 4 or lower "Karakuri" monsters from the GY if they are destroyed while face-up.
• Machine-Type Xyz: Copies of "Marshalling Field" can search "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force" when they are sent from the field to the GY.
