Card Tips:By Order of the Emperor
- This card can be searched by "Pharaonic Advent", "The Despair Uranus", and other generic searchers.
- Combo with "Monarch" monsters that have a mandatory effect that would harm you in some situations, such as "Granmarg the Rock Monarch" and "Zaborg the Thunder Monarch".
- This card also works well against any "Monarch" monster.
- This card can be useful against Decks that rely on Normal Summons to activate their monsters' effects, such as "Gadget" and "Yosenju" Decks.
- This card can be used in (and against) "Arcana Force" Decks, to avoid gambling with their monsters' effects.
- This card can be very useful with the following monsters whose effects continually trigger in response to Normal Summons:
- "King Tiger Wanghu", as this allows more control over which monsters that monster destroys.
- "Mysterious Puppeteer".
- "Aurora Paragon", as this allows more control over its Special Summon lockdown effect.
- "Slifer the Sky Dragon", although this Trap's effect cannot activate for a Special Summon.
- This card can work well with "Appropriate" and "Greed", assuming the opponent's monsters' effects are being negated.
- This card can be used to prevent "D.D. Guide" from switching control.
