- Rafael used this card. It was used in his first turns of both his duels against Yugi Muto, and like his other Guardians, protects it with his life. He would equip the Guardians' appropriate equips to it, then summon the cards and use Backup Gardna's effect to switch the equips to them.
- Rafael first used it in in his first duel with Yami Yugi. It was set in Defense Position. Yami then attacked it with "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast" which then flipped this card face-up. Since this card's DEF was higher, the attack failed. Rafael then equipped this card with "Gravity Axe - Grarl". This allowed him to summon "Guardian Grarl" to the field since it was the only card in his hand. He then used this card's effect to equip "Gravity Axe" on to "Grarl" instead. Later he equipped this card with "Rod of Silence - Kay'est" which allows him to summon "Guardian Kay'est". Later after Yami is corrupted by "The Seal of Orichalcos", he attacks this card with his "Dark Magician", but Rafael activates the "Aid to the Doomed" in his hand(which he could activate on Yami's turn because of its effect) to negate the attack. On the last turn of the duel, he equips this card with "Celestial Sword - Eatos". This allows him to summon "Guardian Eatos" since he has no monsters in his Graveyard. Rafael then uses this card's effect to equip "Celestial Sword" to "Eatos" instead.
- In episode 160, this card appears in a flashback Yami Yugi has when he remembers using "Dark Magician Girl" for "Catapult Turtle's" effect.
- Rafael plays this card again in a rematch duel with Yami Yugi. He summons it on the first turn of the duel. Next turn Rafael equipped this card with "Gravity Axe - Grarl", allowing him to summon "Guardian Grarl" since it was the only card in his hand. He then used this card's effect to equip "Gravity Axe" to "Grarl" instead. Later he equipped this card with "Butterfly Dagger - Elma", allowing him to Normal Summon "Guardian Elma" to the field. Rafael then used this card's effect to equip "Butterfly Dagger" to "Elma" instead. This card's ATK is then powered up by 500 due to the effect of "The Seal of Orichalcos". Rafael later equips this card with "Celestial Sword - Eatos" through the effect of "Guardian Formation". Rafael then draws and summons "Guardian Eatos" to the field since he had no monsters in his Graveyard. Rafael then used this card's effect to equip "Celestial Sword" to "Eatos instead. Later Rafael equips this card with "Rod of Silence Kay'est", allowing him to summon "Guardian Kay'est". After Rafael's anger takes ahold of him and he summons "Guardian Dreadscythe", he selfishly sacrifices this card and every other monster he has out except for "Dreadscythe" so that the latter's ATK would increase to 5500, thanks to "Reaper Scythe - Dreadscythe". Later Yami Yugi gets rid of "Dreadscythe" once for all which lets Rafael regain control over his emotions. Rafael first used "Underworld Circle"'s effect to bring back his "Guardian Grarl". Then he uses "Soul Charge" to bring back this card, "Guardian Elma", and "Guardian Kay'est", but he takes 500 points of damage for each monster that he revives through this effect, causing him to lose the duel. Rafael however purposely did this to free all his trusty monsters from his Graveyard.
- In episode 175, this card appears in a flashback Yami Yugi has when he notes to Rafael his heart was crying when this card was destroyed and when he ruthlessly sacrificed his monsters.
- In episode 197, this card appeared in a flashback explained by Arthur Hawkins. He explains that there was a tournament several years ago that offered the Golden Castle of Stromberg card as the prize, but it was never meant to be used. This card can be seen being used in a tournament Duel between two Duelists.
