- This card can be searched via "Witch of the Black Forest".
- The best cards to target for this one's effect are cards that the opponent cannot easily play again, such as a Fusion Monster, Synchro Monster, or a nomi monster. If a nomi monster is returned, it will force the opponent into a dead draw and probably make them helpless to act during their next turn.
- Make sure your opponent has at least 1 card on the field for you to return to their Deck, so you don't have to return any of your cards.
- Use "Conscription" after you activate this card's effect to Special Summon your opponent's monster to your side of the field.
- This card can be used to disrupt your opponent's Draw Phase by sending a card from their side of the field to the top of their deck, making them draw the same card, disrupting his/her strategy.
- While "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" and another monster card is on the field, you can Set a Normal Spell Card with a heavy cost (such as "Final Destiny"), Tribute the other monster to send the Spell Card back with "Raiza the Storm Monarch", then activate "Diamond Dude"'s effect.
- After Tribute Summoning "Raiza the Storm Monarch" and using its effect, use "Swallow's Nest" to replace it with another monster like "Divine Fowl King Alector".
