Card Tips:Kuraz the Light Monarch

• After summoning "Kuraz", and destroying cards, you can play "Emergency Teleport" to summon a "Krebons" from your deck, or, if you special summoned "Kuraz", then you could just normal summon "Krebons". Destroying your own cards will make it more likely that you will draw "Emergency Teleport", etc.
  • Also you can use "Reinforce Truth" with "Torapart" or "Jutte Fighter" to the same effect.

• Use this card with "Future Visions"; when he is normal summoned he will be removed from play but you will still get his effect. It won't matter that he can't attack since he won't be on the field for that turn anyway, and your opponent will likely either have to set a monster or leave their field clear for a turn in which you get "Kuraz" back.

• As all the other Monarchs, this card can be searched via "Witch of the Black Forest".

• He can't attack right away anyway so use Soul Exchange to summon him and take out an enemy monster.

• This card works well with cards that give you benefits when destroyed. Things like "Statue of the Wicked", "Dark Coffin", "Sangan", "Yubel", and "Call of the Haunted" come to mind.

• This card works well with cards that can revive themselves after being destroyed, such as "D.D. Survivor" and "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys".

• Like "Delg the Dark Monarch", this card's effect activates even it is not Tribute Summoned, so it works well with cards that Special Summon monsters such as Reasoning, Monster Gate, Monster Reborn, Premature Burial, Call of the Haunted, Return from the Different Dimension, Dimension Fusion, The Creator, D.D.M. - Different Dimension Master and D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation.

• Use this card in combination with "Dark Coffin", "Blast with Chain" and "Smoke Grenade of the Thief" to deprive your opponent of their cards while you replace your cards with freshly drawn ones.

• You can put this in a Mill Deck so the downside of Kuraz's effect (your opponent drawing cards) becomes a good thing.

• You can destroy your own cards to draw from your deck.

• Combo this monster's effect with Cyber Valley and Machine Duplication by Special Summoning him with Reasoning. You destroy Kuraz and 1 Cyber Valley and and remove from play the 2 remaining Cyber Valleys so that you may draw 4 cards in only one turn. This shall compensate the non-attack effect of Kuraz, making him an useful draw.

• Since Kuraz doesn't require to be Tribute Summoned to activate his effect, use Mausoleum of the Emperor to Summon him by 1000 points to activate his effect.
  • He cannot attack at the turn he is Summoned, then use Forbidden Chalice after using his effect to get a 2800 ATK dash.

• You can destroy a Sangan on your side of the field to draw a card and get a monster.

• You can use this card in combination with "Appropriate" so that you can destroy two of your opponent's cards AND draw two cards in the process. You can also destroy 1 of your cards and 1 of your opponent's to draw 3 cards total.

• Summon this card with "Premature Burial" or "D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation", then activate "Kuraz the Light Monarch"'s effect to destroy itself and the equipped "Premature Burial" or "D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation" to draw 2 cards.

• You can also use this card with Greed and inflict 1000 points of damage every time you summon him.

• Use this card as a tribute for Yubel and then revive it using The Creator, in order to reuse it's effect. Or, you can destroy Yubel using this card to quickly summon her next form.

• Traditional Format ONLY: If you have a "Limit Reverse" set with a "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" in your graveyard and a "Kuraz the Light Monarch" in your hand, can activate the "Limit Reverse" on the "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" and then tribute it for "Kuraz the Light Monarch" and destroy "Limit Reverse" because it will stay on the field due to it's effect that states that the monster has to be Destroyed in order to remove "Limit Reverse" from the field, then destroy another card of your choice and draw a total of 4 cards! If you have two set "Limit Reverse" then you can reborn "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" a second time and destroy the second "Limit Reverse" with "Kuraz the Light Monarch" and draw a total of 6 cards!

• This card works fine with Crystal Beast Decks, since with Kuraz's effect you can destroy two Crystal Beast monsters, which then places them in your Spell & Trap Card Zone), and then you get to draw two cards.

• Combo this with Trap Dustshoot against your opponent.

• Combo this with Protector of the Sanctuary, you can destroy 2 of your opponent's cards but cannot draw cards, due to the effect of Protector of the Sanctuary

• Combo this with Vortex Trooper, summon it to use it's effect, then summon Kuraz and destroy your Vortex Trooper to draw a total of 4 cards, 3 from Vortex Trooper and 1 from Kuraz's effect.

• Combo this with "Geartown". First, destroy "Geartown", you can draw 1 card and then special summon Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon with Geartown's effect.

• Destroy your face-down Sand Moth to draw 1 card and have a 2000 ATK monster (from Sand Moth's effect).

• With Il Blud and Zombie World, you can revive this card once per turn with no cost, destroy it with its own effect to draw a card, and start over on your next turn. You would draw an extra card each turn if you put one Card of Safe Return in the combo.

• In the case you play an Inca Deck, you can obviously use this card to destroy a "Moon Dragon Quilla" and a Limit Reverse (useless after you Synchro Summoned with the revived monster) in order to create Card Advantage, by drawing two cards and bringing from your Graveyard a Sun Dragon Inti. This combo is very easy to set, because you have many possibilities to bring the two Dragons, often using a Supay, a Fire Ant Ascator or a Oracle of the Sun which are in your Graveyard.

• This card works great in a Gemini Deck. When summoned, you can destroy a number of cards on your own field that would be really beneficial to you and not set you back at all. Destroy Supervise with his effect, you get to draw 1 card AND get a special summon out of it. Use his effect to destroy Big Bang Shot that is equipped to your opponent's monster to rid yourself of a problematic monster AND draw a card. Also, try using this effect w/ Gemini Booster. That will let you draw a card and Gemini summon a monster.

• This card works great with Soul Exchange. You can easily summon it, remove up to 3 cards of your opponents cards from the field, and because both cards can't let you attack the turn they are activated/summoned Soul Exchange's back effect isn't that much of a problem.
