• Use this card to get rid of some of your opponent's key monsters, especially ones that usually do not help them in the Graveyard, such as "Light and Darkness Dragon".

• Use this card while you have a face-up "Spell Economics" so you do not pay any Life Points.

• After you activate this card, use "Serial Spell" while "Spell Economics" is face-up on the field, so you can use this card's effect twice without paying Life Points, and you can get rid of two of your opponent's key monsters.

• If your opponent's hand and deck have no monsters of the declared Type and Attribute, you are permitted to briefly check your opponent's hand and deck to confirm that this is true. Therefore, by declaring an incompatible combination of Type and Attribute for which no monsters exist, such as FIRE and Sea Serpent, you can get a quick look at your opponent's hand and deck, enabling you to predict their strategy. This can also be used in combination with cards like "D.D. Designator" and "Mind Crush".

• In the Traditional Format, this can help stop the dreaded "Yata-Garasu Lockdown". Simply declare Wind/Fiend, as Yata-Garasu is one of a very small number of such monsters.

• This card can severely cripple any deck focused on a single monster card, such as Blue Eyes/Red Eyes decks and Dark Armed Dragon Decks, or simply destroy an annoying monster, such as Jinzo, making this card quite a worthy sidedecking card.
  • This is even more potent in a Macro Cosmos deck, as it will ensure that the opponent will not be able to recover their card once it's sent to the graveyard.

• This card can help get rid of your opponent's Honest, be it in their hand or Deck.
