Summoning[]
- "Unexpected Dai" can Special Summon "Mist Valley Watcher" from your Deck. Then Normal Summon the Level 3 Tuner monster required.
- The only other Level 6 or lower non-Tuner "Mist Valley" monsters are "Mist Valley Falcon", "Mist Valley Executor" and "Mist Valley Thunderbird".
Using this card[]
- Use with "Mind Control" to make your opponent lose a monster, and this card gains 500 ATK.
- "Crackdown" enables this during your opponent's turn, provided that you steal a monster your opponent won't be able to summon again that turn, or delay the bounce until the Battle Phase or End Phase.
- Combo this card with "Swords of Revealing Light" and your opponent won't be able to attack at all.
- Since "Divine Wind of Mist Valley" can only be used once per turn, use this card to return it to your hand. Combo this with "Mist Condor" so you can easily swarm your opponent and thin your deck.
- This card is also capable of triggering the effect of Divine Wind during your opponent's turn, so you can swarm the field with even more monsters.
- You can chain the effect of "Mist Valley Thunder Lord" to any effect that targets another card you control such as "Mystical Space Typhoon" to save your card and make them waste theirs.
