- Activate "Shrink" during the Damage Step to help ensure that your opponent cannot stop it.
- "Shrink" is sometimes included in Gadget Decks because the attack of the highest gadget is only 1400. By using "Shrink" on an opponent's monster, the Gadgets are almost guaranteed to win in a fight.
- "Shrink" can be used to counter "Hammer Shot", if you have the monster with the highest ATK, while your opponent has the next highest. Use "Shrink" on your monster in response to the activation of "Hammer Shot". When "Hammer Shot" resolves it will destroy the opponent's monster.
- "Shrink" works well with "Crush Card Virus". Use it on either "Vorse Raider" or "Archfiend Soldier" to halve their ATK and tribute them for "Crush Card Virus".
- Use "Shrink" to counter "Bottomless Trap Hole" by simply targeting your own monster.
- This card works great when using "Dark Scorpions" as they all have low ATK and this card can reduce the ATK greatly so that you can inflict Battle Damage to activate their effects.
- Use this card with "Gladiator Beast Samnite" or any Gladiator Beast to ensure it survives the attack of the opponent's monster. In "Samnite"'s case, you can also activate its effect.
- This card has a similar Trap counterpart, "Miniaturize".
- This card can also be combined with "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" or "Evil Hero Inferno Wing" to deal massive damage.
- Shrink can be used to defeat strong monsters like Stardust Dragon & Dark Simorgh. Useful in decks where monsters' attacks aren't high like Gadgets, Warriors, or Watt.
- Use this card along with Jinzo. It can operate similar to a trap card, but Jinzo won't negate it. This can protect Jinzo from easy to summon Synchro or Xyz Monsters with 2500 or more ATK.
- A similar strategy is to use Shrink along with Rush Recklessly in a deck that uses Royal Decree. They can be activated on your opponents turn during battle, but won't be negated.
