Card Tips:Battle Fader

Advanced Format

 * This card can be searched via "Sangan", "Mystic Tomato", "Armageddon Knight", "Dark Grepher" and "One for One".


 * This card is useful in preventing OTK attempts, as it will be summoned when your opponent declares the attack, and ends their chance to claim victory. Often, this can leave your opponent vulnerable to a counter attack as they have spent their turn using their hand for a, what seems to be sure, OTK attempt.


 * This card can help you Summon "Majestic Red Dragon" or "Majestic Star Dragon" when your turn comes.


 * This card is useful as a Tribute for "Monarchs" and "Jinzo".


 * You can add this card from the Graveyard to your Hand with "Recurring Nightmare".


 * Use "Astral Barrier" to make sure your opponent will attack you directly.


 * Since this card will be Removed from Play when Special Summoned with its own effect, cards like "Dimensional Alchemist" can return this card to your hand.


 * This card works very well with "Crush Card Virus"


 * Use "Imperial Iron Wall" to keep this card in the game so you can use "Dark Eruption", "Pot of Avarice", "The Transmigration Prophecy", "Recurring Nightmare" so you can use Battle Fader over and over.


 * This card works very well with "Spirit Monsters", especially "Dark Dust Spirit".


 * Use this card against "Earthbound Immortals".


 * In a Ritual deck, this card can be used as a quick setup. It can stall for a turn, while also allowing you access to a level 1 monster to tribute. This, alongside with any level 4 monster and "Djinn Releaser of Rituals", grants you a powerful level 8 Ritual monster that blocks enemy Special Summoning.


 * This card, especially when run in duplicate or triplicate, can make the use of Final Countdown more plausible.

Traditional Format

 * This card can be searched via "Witch of the Black Forest" and "Last Will".
