- This card can be searched via "Sangan" and "Mystic Tomato" (using Mystic Tomato will result to a Great Maju Garzett with 0 ATK because no monster is tributed). * This card can also be searched via "Witch of the Black Forest" and "Last Will".
- Using Cyber Dragon as a tribute for Great Maju Garzett is one of the best combos. First Special Summon Cyber Dragon (2100 ATK) and then Tribute Summon Great Maju Garzett and it will have 4200 ATK.
- Remember to have a couple of "Mystic Wok" handy so that if he gets destroyed, you can gain a high amount of Life Points.
- This card can be used as potential backup in a Skill Drain Deck if you have not come across "Skill Drain" or if it has been destroyed you can easily Tribute a "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" for a 5,600 Attack monster, "Beast King Barbaros" for a 6,000 Attack monster. In addition, you can also Remove from play "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" and "Beast King Barbaros" from Hand, Field, or Graveyard to Special Summon "Beast Machine King Barbaros Ür" then Tribute it for a whopping 7,600 beatstick without the burden of "Beast Machine King Barbaros Ür".
-Equip it with "Big Bang Shot" to get past defense.
-Combo with "Final Attack Orders" to make your opponent pay for setting monsters.
- "Shield & Sword" can work very well with monsters with high DEF, such as Exxod, Master of The Guard, or Neo Aqua Madoor
- After using "Summoner of Illusions"' effect to Special Summon "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" or any Fusion Monster with 4000 or more ATK, tribute it for a "Great Maju Garzett" with at least 8000 ATK. This can result in an OTK, given your opponent has an empty field.
- This card is a great way to "reuse" monsters which suffers from a handicap after attacking, such as "Goblin Attack Force", "Giant Orc", and "Chainsaw Insect". All of these can be normaly summoned and have an ATK of 2200-2400, giving "Great Maju Garzett" a quick ATK of 4400-4800.
- If this card gets summoned early and with overwhelming ATK, your opponent will likely be setting monsters face-down. If this happens, you can combo "Light of Intervention" (to keep him from setting monsters) and "Final Attack Orders" so he/she will be wide open for massive damage.
- Or you can equip "Big Bang Shot" to "Great Maju Garzett" to increase its ATK and to inflict Piercing Damage.
- "Great Maju Garzett" can also go well in a dark world deck due to most of the Dark World monsters special summoning ability, such as special summoning a "Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World" the lower of the Dark World special summons to sack for "Great Maju Garzett" giving him a nice 3200 ATK.
- You can tribute "Five-Headed Dragon" or "Dragon Master Knight" to make "Great Maju Garzett" a 10,000 Attack monster. Use cards like "Lightning Vortex" and "Heavy Storm"/"Giant Trunade" or any similar cards to clear the field, then "Great Maju Garzett" can attack directly, generally ending the duel.
- Sadly you cannot use "Megamorph" to increase its Attack because it relies on the Original Attack of the equipped monster, which is of course 0. The same applies to the monster you used to you used to tribute summon this card.
