Card Tips:Time Machine
- This card can be searched by "Trap Trick", "Trap Tracks", "Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle", "Lilith, Lady of Lament", "Triple Tactics Thrust", "Angel of Blue Tears", "Farewelcome Labrynth", "Labrynth Set-Up", and other generic searchers.
- This card works well with cards like "Felgrand Dragon" and "Darkblaze Dragon".
- This card works well with "Armageddon Knight". It can either be suicide or wait until it's destroyed by battle, and then activate "Time Machine" to use the effect of "Armageddon Knight" again.
- This card works well with cards that destroy on destruction such as "Exploder Dragon".
- If "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" or "Beast King Barbaros" is Normal Summon without Tribute, use this card when they are destroyed by battle to restore their original ATK and DEF.
- Use this card with either "Sacred Crane" or "Molten Zombie" to draw an extra card.
- This card can be used in a "Crystal Beast" Deck with cards like "Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus" or "Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle".
- This card works really well with "Sangan", "Pyramid Turtle" or any type of battle searcher.
- This can be used on your opponent's defense monster if "Twin-Sword Marauder" is used, or possibly another monster that can now attack twice, to inflict massive damage.
- If a Attack Position weak monster is given control to your opponent, such as "Water Spirit", via "Creature Swap" or "Mystic Box". It can attack with one of your strong monsters, activate "Time Machine", and return that monster to your opponent's side of the field. Then, attack it with another of your monsters. This is especially effective if a battle searcher is used.
- This card works well on the defensive with "Dupe Frog", "Miracle Flipper", etc.
- Use this card with "Machina Fortress", essentially keeping your monster, but destroying an opponent's card.
- Use with "Scrap Dragon" or "Dandylion".
- "Time Machine" is potentially better than "Call of the Haunted", the only obvious limitation is that it cannot go outside the intended targeted monster.
- If "Shield Worm" were destroyed, and then revived by "Time Machine", the opponent would have to send more cards from the top of the Deck equal to all the Insect-Type monsters on the field.
- If "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast" is destroyed in battle, this card can be used to revive "Chimera", and due to the effect of "Chimera", either "Berformet" or "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" will be revived with it. That'll ensure that there will always be at least one monster on the field at all times.
- If a "Giant Kozaky" is taken out that was given to your opponent with an effect like "Give and Take", use this to revive "Giant Kozaky" again and 5000 damage will be dealt in a single turn, maybe more if battle damage is also dealt with the first attack.
