- This card works great with Batteryman Industrial Strength as if your opponent has no spells or traps on the field you can destroy Dark Coffin on your side of the field, this then allows you to destroy 2 monsters at once or destroy 1 monster and have your opponent discard a card!
- Destroy your own Dark Coffin using Double Cyclone or use Heavy Storm to not only clear your opponents Spell and Trap card zones but force him/her to discard a random card from their hand or destroy one of their own monsters.
- This card also makes good Spell/Trap Card bait for your opponent to waste their Dust Tornado, Breaker the Magical Warrior, or Mystical Space Typhoon on.
- This card works well with Kuraz the Light Monarch. Kuraz destroys this face down card, giving you a draw, while Dark Coffin's effect activates, giving you more field advantage.
- This card is perfect for being Special Summoned by "Magical Hats", since the effect will activate when it is destroyed while face-down. However, it will not activate if "Dark Coffin" is destroyed while face-up or by battle.
- This card is also effective on Infernity Deck in the early and middle of Top-decking.
- Set this card and then use Demise, King of Armageddon's effect to clear the field and force your opponent to discard a card.
- This card is very good Tech in a Scrap Deck.
- This card can be used with the effect of Scrap Dragon, Scrap Twin Dragon, Atomic Scrap Dragon.
- This card can work well in a Harpie-Deck: Activate "Harpies' Hunting Ground" and then, you either Normal Summon or Special Summon any of the "Harpie sisters, and destroy this set card, causing the activation of it's effect
- This card works very well with Blast with Chain, Widespread Dud, and Malevolent Catastrophe in a deck heavily focused on Spell/Trap Denial. Allowing you to destroy large quantities of Monsters with little effort.
- This card can be dangerous if the opponent is playing a "Dark World" or"Fabled" deck. The opponent will surely want to discard cards from their hand instead of destrying their monsters. To prevent possible problems, you can use cards like "Macro Cosmos", "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror","Light-Imprisoning Mirror to banish/negate the effect of the DARK and LIGHT monsters that activates on the Graveyard and prevent their effect of being activated with sucess
