Card Tips:Mist Wurm

• This card works well with "Degenerate Circuit" for mass monster removal. (This may be a bad idea, however, if you are using the other "Mist Valley" monsters.)

• Use "De-Synchro" with this card to possibly return 6 cards your opponent controls to their hand.

• This card is useful in "Crashbug" Deck.

Synchro Summoning

• If you use "Zombie Master", "Beast of the Pharaoh" and "Plaguespreader Zombie" for the Synchro Summon of this card, you can return 3 cards to your opponent's hand, revive a Zombie (in this case choose "Zombie Master"), and use the effect of Zombie Master to to revive "Plaguespreader Zombie" and Synchro Summon again for a Level 6 monster, or revive another Zombie for extra damage, potentially enough to win the Duel.

• This can can be easily Synchro Summoned by using "Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North" to Special Summon "Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow", then Special Summon "Blackwing - Bora the Spear".
  • You can also Normal Summon "Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame", Special Summon "Bora" from your hand (you can use "Black Whirlwind" to do this), attack something with "Shura", and then Special Summon "Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor", whose effect will be negated, so you can Synchro Summon this card.

• This card can be easily Summoned by use of "Alien Ammonite", as the requirements for the Summoning of "Mist Wurm" will be met if "Ammonite" is Normal Summoned while there is another monster(s) of Level 4 on the field and a Level 4 "Alien" in the GY.

• After summoning "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth", use its effect to Summon 2 "Royal Swamp Eels", 1 "Oyster Meister" and 1 Level 4 Fish monster from your Deck. Synchro using "Oyster Meister" and "Royal Swamp Eel" to make "X-Saber Urbellum", then use the "Oyster Token" and the 2 remaining Fish to Synchro Summon "Mist Wurm". After returning 3 cards to your opponents hand, you have a better chance at making a direct attack with all 3 monsters for 7500 total combined damage, and possibly also triggering the effect of "Urbellum".
  • This can turn into an OTK by replacing "Urbellum" with "Power Tool Dragon" and then searching out an Equip Spell that will increase the ATK of "Power Tool Dragon" by at least 500, making the total damage inflicted by "Mist Wurm", "Coelacanth" and "Power Tool Dragon" equal to at least 8000 combined.
  • This is an OTK if "Urbellum" is replaced with "Scrap Archfiend".

• This card works well with cards that discard from the hand, particularly ones that require either a minimum amount of cards in the opponents hand, or that you name a card in their hand. Examples include: "Trap Dustshoot", "Mind Crush", "X-Saber Urbellum", "Goe Goe the Gallant Ninja", "Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca" etc.

• This card can be easily Summoned in a "Lightsworn" Deck: Summon "Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner", discard "Plaguespreader Zombie" to Special Summon "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast", then top a card for "Plaguespreader" and you will have the material for this card.

• This card can be easily Summoned with "Infernity Beetle", "Infernity Necromancer" and "Infernity Archfiend" in an "Infernity" Deck. Then, by activating "Infernity Launcher", Special Summon "Necromancer" and "Archfiend", which allows you to add another "Launcher" to your hand. Activate "Launcher" to empty your hand and use the effect of "Necromancer" to Summon "Beetle" from your GY. Summon a second copy of this card. Repeat the cycle to Summon a third copy of this card. Then, with the last copy of "Launcher", Special Summon "Archfiend" and "Beetle" and Synchro for "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" and discard the last card you added to your hand with "Archfiend" to totally clear your opponent's field. Then you can attack for an OTK.
  • In an "Infernity" Deck, use the effect of "Infernity Mirage" or "Infernity Launcher" to Special Summon 1 "Infernity Beetle" and 1 "Infernity Necromancer". Use the effect of "Necromancer" to then Special Summon "Infernity Archfiend" from your GY and Synchro Summon this Card.
  • Note that this combo, known as the "Infernity Death Circle", is no longer possible with the September 2010 limiting of "Infernity Launcher".

• In a Disaster Dragon Deck, you can play "Future Fusion", ditching 2 "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragons", and 2 "Red-Eyes Wyverns", and any other Dragon you wish. At the end of the turn, Special Summon both "Darkness Metal Dragons", and use their abilities to Special Summon the appropriate Dragons for this card. Example : Another "Red-Eyes Wyvern", "Troop Dragon" and "Delta Flyer".
