- Due to its ability to Special Summon itself, "Cyber Dragon" is very good at using Union Monsters. Some helpful monsters to connect are "Oilman", for extra draw power, "Trigon", to summon more monsters (like "Cyber Dragon Zwei"), "Armored Cybern" for "Cyber Dragon support" or "Heavy Mech Support Platform" for extra power to beat monsters like "Stardust Dragon". The layer of destruction defense is helpful, too.
- This card is extremely effective against Wind-Up Decks, seeing as their "Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity" and "Wind-Up Zenmaines" are Machine-Types, allowing you to "steal" their monsters to make "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" and probably OTK them. Note that most other "Wind-Up" monsters are not Machine-Type, such as "Wind-Up Rat", "Wind-Up Shark", etc.
