- This card can be searched by "A Cat of Ill Omen" and "The Despair Uranus".
- With this card Unlimited once more, Decks that rely on this card can be crafted for competitive play. See Skill Drain Deck for more details. Typically, such Decks involve the following:
- Monsters with negative effects while on the field - earliest examples include "Goblin Attack Force" and similar cards, as well as "Chainsaw Insect" and "Giant Kozaky"
- Monsters with effects that do not activate on the field - a common trait among entire archetypes such as "Dark World", "Fabled", "Burning Abyss" and "Danger!"
- Monsters with summoning conditions that leave them with lower stats upon summon, such as "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" and "Beast King Barbaros".
- Combine this with "Tyrant's Tirade" to block activations of abilities on the field (total field lockdown), as well as those in the hand, giving an almost total lockdown on all abilities. Adding "Soul Drain" should make nearly every monster effect in the game useless (since nothing will activate in the Graveyard).
- A near-complete lockdown can be created using this card, "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", "Jinzo", "Amplifier", "Tyrant's Temper", "Soul Drain" and "Mind Drain". However, the likelihood of managing to activate all of these effects is rather slim.
