Traditional Format
- This card can be searched by "Spellbook of Judgment", "Last Will" and "Witch of the Black Forest".
- If your opponent summons a "Grinder Golem" or "Lava Golem" to your side of the field, Tribute it to get a 3000 ATK monster (more if you already have a monster on the field). This will save a lot of hassle, especially if they're planning on using a combo like "Ring of Destruction" to inflict massive damage.
