- If this card is used correctly, it could result in a possible One Turn Kill for your opponent. Also, since its Burn effects do not require attacking, cards that negate attacks or activate only when your monster attacks will be virtually useless for your opponent. However, these effects can still be countered:
- Monsters like "Black-Winged Dragon" and "Life Stream Dragon" can nullify this card's effect, as can cards like "Damage Polarizer" and "Fusion Guard".
- "Damage Translation" can halve the damage this card inflicts (though it is unlikely that the card will halve the damage enough for your opponent to survive another turn)
- "Doppelganger" can mirror the damage this card inflicts.
- "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste", "Spell of Pain", "Barrel Behind the Door" and "Nature's Reflection" can redirect the damage to you.
- "Prime Material Dragon" and "Rainbow Life" will cause your opponent to gain Life Points instead of taking damage.
- For an easy Synchro Summon, Summon "Magical Exemplar" and use "Foolish Burial" to send "Night's End Sorcerer" (or "Frequency Magician") to the Graveyard and have "Magical Exemplar" gain two Spell Counters. Then Special Summon "Night's End Sorcerer" with "Magical Exemplar's" effect and Synchro Summon "Tempest Magician".
- This card's first effect can be used to put Counters on cards that don't gain Spell Counters normally, like "Breaker the Magical Warrior", "Frequency Magician", "Arcanite Magician", etc.
- Discard "Ojamagic" and the "Ojamas" to the Graveyard to add Spell Counters to other cards or deal massive damage to your opponent's Life Points.
- This card has good synergy with "Pitch-Black Power Stone" as the Spell Counters it provides increase the damage of "Tempest Magician's" 3rd effect by 1500 points, and you don't have to move them from the Trap Card.
- Use "Magical Plant Mandragola". Among other things, this will increase the damage dealt by "Tempest Magician's" effect by 500x the number of cards on the field that can hold Spell Counters.
- This card works well with "Forced Requisition", devastating your opponent's hand as you gain counters.
- Combine this card with "Magical Citadel of Endymion" to inflict serious damage to the opponent.
- You are not limited to using only your Spell Counters, you can use your opponent's as well. This is particularly useful against an opponent using "Magical Citadel of Endymion".
- Use this card with "Tower of Babel" to inflict up to 1500 points to your opponent's Life Points and avoid taking 3000 points of damage yourself.
- This card works well with Spellcaster's Command Structure Deck.
- This card works well in a Diva-Synchro-Deck using "Gravekeeper's Spy" and "Gravekeeper's Guard" as non-Tuners.
- You can use this in a "Fortune Lady" Deck. The cards you discard could be Fortune Ladies to Special Summon using "Fortune Lady Dark". This will also allow you to put Spell Counters on cards that use Spell Counters in the deck, like "Magical Exemplar", "Breaker the Magical Warrior", "Royal Magical Library", and more.
- An easy way to Synchro Summon this card in 1 turn is to Normal Summon "Summoner Monk" and use its effect to Special Summon "Road Synchron" from your deck.
- "Magical Exemplar" is an excellent card to use with this as it gains 2 Spell Counters for each Spell Card activated, instead of the normal 1, effectively halving the number of Spell Cards needed to OTK your opponent.
- With 1 or more Magical Abductor in your pendulum zones and a Magical Citadel of Endymion in your field zone, you can rapidly amass spell counters from spells played by both players to deal serious damage.
