- Summon "Beast King Barbaros" or "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" without any tributes and then use this card to banish and then bring them back at their original ATK.
- Use this card with "Necroface" and cards like "Escape from the Dark Dimension" and "D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation" to mill the opponent's deck at a fast rate.
- Banish cards like "D.D. Survivor" and "D.D. Scout Plane", so they can return to your side of the field during the End phase.
- As it doesn't special summon when returning the monster, you can use it on Nomi monsters safely, especially as they are likely to attract equip spells like "Darkworld Shackles".
- Banish your face-up "Shiranui Spiritmaster" to destroy one card your opponent controls.
- In a deck which uses "Summoner of Illusions" or "Instant Fusion" you can use this card to banish the Fusion Monster (avoiding it's destruction).
- Try to use cards that allow you to take control over your opponent's monsters such like "Mind Control", "Mark of the Rose" or "Enemy Controller" (All of those allowed in Advanced Format), then banish the opponent's monster taken by these cards effect to get rid of them to Special Summon this card, ready to use it as Tribute Fodder or as a Synchro Material Monster. But if you don't use it in that turn, your opponent's monster banished for this card's effect will return to your opponent's side of the field during his/her Standby Phase.
- This card and "Darklord Desire" work well together as you can use this card to both reset its ATK and Tribute Summon it.
- Use "D.D. Sprite" to banish "Reborn Tengu". Get a new one and Synchro Summon a Level 5 Synchro Monster.
- Use this card to avoid the bouncing effect on your own Spirit monster keeping it on the Field.
- This card can banish a threat to you, such as if your opponent gives you "Volcanic Queen"; banish "Volcanic Queen" so during the End Phase, you will not have to give up 1 monster or take 1000 damage.
- Normal Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster, then banish it to Special Summon this card, and Set "Urgent Tuning"; next turn, the banished monster will return during your opponent's Standby Phase, then during their Battle Phase use "Urgent Tuning" to Synchro Summon a Level 2-5 Synchro Monster.
- Has synergy with the LINK mechanic; as it allows you to remove from play a Link Monster currently occupying your Extra Monster Zone, to then return it to play to one of the Main Monster Zones preferably one where it'll have the most benefit due its Link Arrows; as that is how the LINK Mechanic works towards returning Extra Deck monsters. Freeing the Extra Monster Zone for any other Extra deck monster. Works well with Synchros and Fusion; not with Xyz unless they have no attached cards.
Traditional Format[edit]
