Card Tips:Gilasaurus
- This card can be searched by "Fossil Dig", "Souleating Oviraptor", "Miscellaneousaurus", "Babycerasaurus", "Dinovatus Docus", "Survival's End", "Miracle Jurassic Egg", "Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation", "Aussa the Earth Charmer, Immovable", "Giant Rat", "BOXer", "Frontline Observer", "Sphere of Chaos", "Serpentine Princess", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Rescue Ferret", "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.
- This card works well in a Dinosaur Deck, as it allows you to summon a high Level Dinosaur in the first turn.
- You can Special Summon this card with it's own effect and tribute it for "Big Evolution Pill".
- Use this card's effect on the first turn because your opponent will not have any cards in their Graveyard.
- In general, this card is good for Decks focusing on Tributing monsters, like "Monarch" Decks or "Catapult Turtle" burn Decks.
- This card can be useful in a Gravekeeper's Deck, since your opponent will not be able to Special Summon from their Graveyard due to the presence of "Necrovalley".
- Use "Inferno Reckless Summon" so you can bring out cards that require three Tributes, and "Cannot be Special Summoned" monsters like the Wicked Gods.
- Use this card with monsters whose effects would make this card's effect less disadvantageous like "Dark Dust Spirit" or "Beast King Barbaros". If you have 3 "Gilasauruses" and "Beast King Barbaros" or "Dark Dust Spirit" in your hand (or some way of searching them), Special Summon all of them; let your opponent summon any monster they like. Then Tribute Summon "Beast King Barbaros" or "Dark Dust Spirit" with 3 or 2 "Gilasauruses". Their second effects will destroy all cards your opponent control.
- This card is ideal for a "Macro Cosmos" Deck, as your opponent will likely have no monsters in his/her Graveyard, and when this card is destroyed, it can further complement the ATK power of "Gren Maju Da Eiza" and "Golden Homunculus".
- After Special Summoning this card, Tribute it for "Caius the Shadow Monarch", and use his effect to banish the card your opponent just Special Summoned.
- In a Junk Doppel deck you can easily make level 8 Synchro Monsters by Special Summoning this card, then Normal Summoning "Junk Synchron", bringing out a level 2 monster.
- If using this card's effect simply to swarm the field, use it with "Gaia Power" or "Milus Radiant" for a 1900 ATK, or, if you use both, for a 2400 ATK beatstick.
- Combo with "Hunting Instinct".
- Use "Soul Release" to take away the best monster cards in your opponents Graveyard before Special Summoning this card.
- Because of this card's Level and ability to be Special Summoned quickly, two of them can be used for a Rank 3 Xyz Summon.
- Use this card with "Jurrac Gallim" to make "Jurrac Velphito" and give 2600 ATK/DEF.
- This is especially helpful on your first turn, or if your opponent only has a set monster on their side of the feild.
- Summon this monster after activating "Skill Drain". You will get the Special Summon without allowing your opponent to summon a monster themselves.
Traditional Format[edit]
- This card can be searched by "Last Will".
- Special Summon this card and then activate "Change of Heart" or "Snatch Steal" to take control of the opponent's monster, because they will probably summon their strongest monster. This combo is often called "Zombie Temptation".
- This card was famous for its "Magical Scientist" combo. First, Special Summon this card with its effect (it doesn't matter what your opponent Special Summons from his/her Graveyard), then Tribute it for "Catapult Turtle". Finally, activate "Last Will" (because this card went to the Graveyard) and Special Summon "Magical Scientist" from your Deck.
