Traditional Format[]
- This card can be searched by "Dark Sage", "Ancient Gear Drill", "Alchemic Magician", "Angmarl the Fiendish Monarch", "Left Arm Offering", "Magical Burst", "Watch Dog" and "The Despair Uranus".
- This card can be used to accelerate strategies that rely on the Graveyard, in which discarding 4 cards would not be a hindrance. Common examples include "Lightsworn", "Dark World", "Fabled", "Burning Abyss", "Darklord", "Shaddoll", "Chaos" and Zombie Decks.
- In a Dragon Deck, "Super Rejuvenation" can compensate for any Dragons discarded.
- This card can do well in a "Buster Blader" Deck, since the Spells/Traps can activate their effects in the Graveyard, and "Buster Dragon" can equip your "Buster Blader" monsters with a "Destruction Sword" monster from your Graveyard during the opponent's turn.
- This card can be sent to the Graveyard with "Emergency Provisions", "Twin Twisters", "Mystical Space Typhoon" or "Double Cyclone" during the opponent's turn, in order to avoid its drawback during your next Standby Phase.
- "Gravelstorm" can be used instead to return this card to the hand for later reuse.
- "Solomon's Lawbook" can be used to skip your next Standby Phase and avoid this card's negative effect.
- "Forced Requisition" and "Magical Thorn" could be used along this card to also punish your opponent each time you discard.
- Along with "Graceful Charity", this card can be used to dump monsters into the Graveyard to benefit from the numerous monster effects that involve cards in the Graveyard.
- If playing a videogame or a format in which "Imperial Order" has its old erratum, it is a good idea to combine this card with it, in which case you may use the effects of this card more than once without discarding. For one turn, after drawing with this card, activate "Imperial Order" to negate this card's effect until your Standby Phase, when you may choose not to pay the cost and destroy it, allowing for another extra draw. After that, you may finally remove it from the field with one of the above mentioned cards ("Emergency Provisions"...).
