• In "Crystal Beast" Decks, this card can easily be summoned if you have "Future Fusion" or "Ultimate Crystal Magic" (to summon "Rainbow Overdragon") and "Advanced Dark" and/or "Rainbow Gravity" in your hand. Try to summon this card with "Rainbow Gravity" so you can more than likely have access to monsters to use for this card's final effect.

• Upon Summoning this card, or using its effect, target "Necroface" to banish cards from both player's Decks, and fuel a Deck Out.

• This monster can be retrieved from your Graveyard by playing "Recurring Nightmare".

• Send this to the Graveyard with "Armageddon Knight" and then Fusion Summon "Cyberdark Dragon" to increase its ATK by 4000.

• If you can destroy a "Doomsday Horror", you should have at least eight monsters to use this card's effect.
  • It may also be good to have a "Doomsday Horror" of your own, so that you can destroy it yourself to re-use this card's effect.

• Normal Summon "Armageddon Knight" OR use "Foolish Burial" and send a "D.D. Scout Plane" to the Graveyard. Then, banish "Scout Plane" and six other DARK Monsters to Summon this card. During the End Phase of that turn, "Scout Plane" will be Special Summoned; then the player can activate this card's effect during the owner's next turn and "Scout Plane" will come back in the End Phase. Rinse and repeat, and this card will continue getting more power.

• This card can be equipped with "Fairy Meteor Crush" or "Big Bang Shot" for better chances of an OTK.

• This card is a great addition to the The Dark Emperor Structure Deck, which relies on banished monsters/effects, especially if the Deck is modified to have a greater emphasis on DARK Attribute. Many of the cards previously mentioned on this page are present in that Structure Deck.

• A very useful combo is to activate "Burial from a Different Dimension".This card can banish up to 8 DARK monsters to increase this card's ATK to 8000 points, which should make up for a very powerful monster.
  1. After banishing seven different DARK monsters to Summoning this card, use it to return 3 banished DARK monsters into the Graveyard.
  2. Use "Magical Stone Excavation" to discard two DARK monsters and add "Burial from a Different Dimension" back into the hand.
  3. Re-activate that card to return three more DARK monster back into the Graveyard.

• To prevent destroy or banish effect use "Royal Decree" to negate Trap cardsI
• Harmful spells "Lightning Vortex" or "Tribute to The Doomed", use the cards like "Spell Canceller" OR "Anti-Spell Fragrance" and "Flying Fortress SKY FIRE" for absolute protection.
  • The effect of "SKY FIRE", it can destroys a card that the opponent is playing at a cost of DARK monster, which can further power-up this card as well as destroying any possible threats that the opponent is trying to throw on.
  • In addition, the three components that make up "SKY FIRE": "Summon Reactor・SK", "Trap Reactor・Y FI" and "Spell Reactor・RE" are all DARK monsters that can be used to Special Summon "SKY FIRE", and then this card.

• "Fiend Comedian" can help dump DARK monsters into the Graveyard, for either Summoning this card or for boosting its power.

Traditional Format

• After Summoning this card, activate "Painful Choice"/"Burial from a Different Dimension" to increase the number of the DARK monsters in your Graveyard.

• When using this card's effect with "Dark Magician of Chaos" on the field, if you play "Spell Economics" and "Dimension Fusion" with "Dark Magician of Chaos" banished, it will be Special Summoned onto the field. Then use the effect of "Dark Magician of Chaos" to add "Dimension Fusion" back to your hand then use this card effect to banished "Dark Magician of Chaos". Then use "Dimension Fusion" to Special Summoned "Dark Magician of Chaos" again and use this card's effect to continually increase its attack.
  • Add "Soul Absorption" to the mix and the owner's Life Points can also continually increase.
  • If one of the banished monsters is "Dark Nephthys", you can also clear the way for your attacks.
    • Add "Darklord Zerato" to the above to make for an easy OTK.
  • Special Summon "Armageddon Knight" or more easily "Dark Grepher" to discard more DARKs from the Deck.

• "Future Fusion" can send a large amount of DARK monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard for "Chimeratech Overdragon". After the Fusion Summon occurs, the owner's side of the field gets destroyed. After that, banish all the DARK monsters for a large ATK with OTK result.

• Another good combo for this card effect is using cards like "DNA Transplant" or "Scroll of Bewitchment", then the monsters on your side of the field will not be banished, and if this card leaves the field, so you still will have monsters to prevent the opponent of making a direct attack, or you can after banishing all of your DARK monsters.
