Card Tips:Hedge Guard
- This card can be searched by "Aromaseraphy Jasmine", "Mardel, Generaider Boss of Light", "Lonefire Blossom", "Naturia Sacred Tree", "Super Solar Nutrient", "Frozen Rose", "Predaplant Spider Orchid", "Chirubimé, Princess of Autumn Leaves", "Rose Paladin", "Kittytail, Mystical Beast of the Forest", "Giant Rat", "BOXer", "Frontline Observer", "Sphere of Chaos", "Serpentine Princess", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Rescue Ferret", "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord", "Sangan", and other generic searchers.
- If this monster is in your Graveyard you can Special Summon it by "Gigaplant", "Lord Poison", "Seed of Flame", "Miracle Fertilizer" or "Plant Food Chain".
- After it returns to the Field, use "Compulsory Evacuation Device" to return it to your hand and use its Quick Effect again.
- Combo the above with "Spirit Barrier" to prevent Battle Damage for this turn.
- Use this card with other cards that must remain on the field to activate their effects by preventing their destruction through battle. Examples include: Gladiator Beasts, "Dummy Golem" or "Brain Jacker".
- This card combos exceptionally well with "Amazoness Swords Woman". If your opponent tries to get rid of it through battle, you can just use this card and cause them to take 750 more damage, while still keeping this card on the field.
- This card works great in a Skill Drain Deck, because it's effect is not negated by "Skill Drain".
- This card works well with "Legendary Jujitsu Master", because it will not be destroyed and it's attack drop will not matter for it's effect due to it being in defense position.
- If you have "Marauding Captain" (for a warrior deck) or "Twilight Rose Knight" (for a plant deck) preferably in defense mode, "Hedge Guard" discarded to protect Marauding Captain or Twilight Rose Knight could save all monsters.
- Use this card to protect tokens and recruiters with flip effects, such as "Tanngnjostr of the Nordic Beasts", "Super-Nimble Mega Hamster", "Gravekeeper's Spy" and the monster recruited.
- This could be useful in rare situations with "Ally of Justice Catastor" like against "Noble Knight" equipped monsters.
Traditional Format[edit]
- This card can be searched by "Last Will".
- If you use "Hedge Guard" in Gladiator Beast Deck you can play "Cold Wave" then summon "Rescue Cat", use its effect to bring out "Gladiator Beast Samnite" and "Test Tiger", tribute "Test Tiger" in order to return "Gladiator Beast Samnite" to your deck and bring out "Gladiator Beast Secutor". Attack with "Gladiator Beast Secutor" and use "Hedge Guard" to defend it. In this way, you can potentially tag in two Gladiator Beasts, which can make "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus" or "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos" in order to gain control of the duel while you still have at least 3 cards in your hand.
