- While you can summon "Dragon Master Knight" by Fusion Summoning it with both "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" and "Black Luster Soldier", it's better to Tribute "Black Luster Soldier" from your hand instead. However, it can't be summoned from the Graveyard by "Premature Burial" or other similar cards since it wasn't Ritual Summoned properly.
- "Black Luster Soldier" can be searched for and placed into hand by "Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands" or "Senju of the Thousand Hands". This also generates "hand advantage".
- A Fusion substitute such as "The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion" can be used instead of "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". This makes "Dragon Master Knight" much easier to summon and requires fewer cards. If using a Dragon-Type Deck, you can summon this monster using a Fusion substitute with "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" and have no "Black Luster Soldier" to unbalance your Deck, but you will still need a Fusion card because "Dragon Master Knight" can not be Special Summoned otherwise.
- "Fusion Gate" allows multiple Fusions from a single card, and reduces the number of cards required for the summon.
- If "Polymerization" is used, "Black Luster Soldier" can still be returned to the Deck by "Pot of Avarice" or fused into another "Dragon Master Knight" with "Dragon's Mirror".
- "Dragon's Mirror" can be used to fuse a "The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion" with a discarded "Black Luster Soldier", this is treated as a Fusion Summon, fulfilling the card text, while taking advantage of the fact that it does not need the exact materials.
- Use the effect of "King of the Swamp" to discard it to the Graveyard and discard "Black Luster Soldier" for something like "Divine Wrath" or "Raigeki Break" to clear up the field and use "Dragon's Mirror" to summon a 5000 ATK and 5000 DEF monster. Also, the variety of Decks "King of the Swamp" is good for makes this Fusion pretty much good for any Deck.
- "DNA Surgery" works well to further increase its 5000 ATK by 500 for each monster on the field.
- Using "DNA Surgery" or "D. Tribe" in conjunction with "Scapegoat" or other cards that summon monster tokens to your side of the field can easily build up the ATK of "Dragon Master Knight". Combine with "United We Stand" to gain an additional 4000 ATK boost (the total ATK would be 11000), which can easily OTK if you attack any monster.
- This is a good card to use with "Last Turn" (Traditional Format only) since there are not any cards aside from "Fusion Monsters", which are not in the Deck that have base ATK that can overpower it.
- Use "Gale Dogra" or "Fusion Guard" to send "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" to the Graveyard, and use "Dragon's Mirror" to fuse it with a Fusion substitute like "The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion".
