- This card can work in an Xyz Deck since "Dark Highlander" only stops Synchro Monsters.
- Use "Alector, Sovereign of Birds"'s effect on this card during your turn so that only your opponent cannot Synchro Summon. (Note: Your opponents may use cards like "Urgent Tuning" to bypass this combo.)
- This card is great in "Dark World" Decks and easy to Summon with "Fabled Raven" by discarding "Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World" or just Tuning it with a "Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World" or "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World". You can use the same combos to Summon "Chaos King Archfiend".
- Since "Dark World" Decks do not rely on Synchro Summons to win, this card's effect does no harm, and it prevents your opponent from coming back with "Rekindling", "Glow-Up Bulb", etc.
- This card can easily be Summoned using either "Infernity Launcher" or "Infernity Mirage" to summon both "Infernity Destroyer" and "Infernity Avenger", then Synchro Summon this card.
- This card can be used very effectively in a Deck based on "Puppet Master". Tribute Summon "Puppet Master", and Special Summon "Stygian Security" or "Sinister Sprocket".
- Use the effect of "Giant Germ" to Special Summon 2 copies of "Giant Germ" and use a Level 3 Tuner monster like "Dark Resonator" or "Flare Resonator" to Synchro Summon "Dark Highlander".
- Combine this card with "Cursed Armaments", allowing you to deal damage to the opponent, then re-equip the Spell to another monster they control and attack a weakened target. Alternatively, equip "Big Bang Shot" to an opponent's monster then use this card's effect to destroy it to deal 400 points of damage and banish the equipped monster.
- Combine the above with "Archfiend of Gilfer" or "Flint" in order to continuously deal 800 points of damage and severely weaken the opponent's monsters.
- Use "Mask of Restrict" so the opponent cannot Synchro Summon or Tribute Summon.
- Allowing this card to be destroyed can be advantageous, provided that "The Dark Creator" can revive it once there are adequate Synchro support monsters such as "Stardust Dragon" on the field.
- Activate "Forbidden Chalice" while controlling "Dark Highlander" to be able to Synchro Summon. During the End Phase, the effect of "Forbidden Chalice" will end and the opponent will not be able to Synchro Summon.
- You can also make use of this card in combination with "Axe of Despair" and "Creature Swap". Equip a monster with "Axe of Despair", then activate "Creature Swap" to give your opponent the equipped monster. "Axe of Despair" will still be equipped to the swapped monster. Activate this card's effect to destroy "Axe of Despair" and inflict 400 damage to your opponent.
- All Fiend-Type Tuner monsters are as follows:
