• This card is part of a 4-card combo, including: Mystic Tomato, Yubel, Staunch Defender and cards such as Ultimate Tyranno and/or Elemental Hero Wildedge to get an OTK.

• Another good combo using this card is Ancient Forest, Moon Dragon Quilla and Battle Mania (+ Waboku if the monster(s) on your opponent`s field is stronger than Quilla) this will not only destroy all monsters on your opponent`s field (at the time you activated Battle Mania) but also cause you to gain a significant amount of Life Points

• Use this card with Exxod, Master of The Guard and Canyon to get a potential OTK, especially if used with cards like Ojama Trio.

• Use this card to also prevent Earthbound Immortals from attacking you directly, redirecting towards monsters that can survive their attack.

• Use this card on Kinetic Soldier against a Warrior-type deck. Zero Gravity could also help.

• This card works well with Sanga of the Thunder, Suijin or Kazejin if you have not already used their effects.

• Use Sauropod Brachion with Fairy Box when your opponent attacks, if you guessed Fairy Box timing perfectly, your opponent will be taking 6000 points of damage because Sauropod's effect had double the battle damage that your owner's opponent take.
• Combo this card with "Elemental HERO Nova Master" so that you'd draw a card for every monster destroyed ("Nova Master" is also fairly easy to summon and has a good ATK).

• Use this card in a combo with Nordic Relic Megingjord and an Aesir for a possible OTK.

• Use this card in a combo with Daigusto Sphreez for a possible OTK.

• Use this card with a "Madolche Puddingcess" that has had it's attack increased by cards such as "Madolche Lesson" or "Madolche Chateau", not only will any other weaker Madolche monsters be protected, but you will also destroy a huge amount of your opponents cards.
