- This card can be searched by "Dogu", "Single Purchase", "Temple of the Kings", "Broken Blocker", "Serpentine Princess", "Vampire Dragon", "Mimiclay", "Where Arf Thou?", "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", "One for One", "Dragunity Corsesca", "Ties of the Brethren", "Painful Escape", "Machine Duplication", "Machina Armored Unit", "Biofalcon", "UFOroid", "Gear Gigant X", "Road Warrior", "Rai-Mei", "Photon Veil", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", "Shining Angel", "Chaos Zone", "Cyber Repair Plant" and "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord" .
- The effect that treats this card as a Level 2 monster can be used to easily Synchro Summon a Level 5 Synchro Monster such as "Ally of Justice Catastor" or "Magical Android".
- While you control this card, you can activate the effect of "Machine Duplication" to Special Summon 2 other copies of this card. Then Normal Summon a "Nitro Synchron" and Synchro Summon a "Nitro Warrior" in-order to draw 4 cards from your Deck (the effect of "Tuningware" says "You can...", meaning you can change 2 of the monsters to Level 2 and one of them as a Level 1).
- Pull off this combo in one turn by using "Magnet Circle LV2".
- Using "Machine Duplication" or "Inferno Reckless Summon" with this card (when it is Special Summoned) you will be able to use this card as a Draw Engine for 3 cards, and for a Synchro Summon. When you do this, you can manipulate the Levels of the monsters for practically any Level of Synchro Monster you like.
- Use the above strategy alongside "Junk Synchron" and "Quickdraw Synchron" for a lot of advantage in the same turn:
- Send "Tuningware" to the Graveyard and Special Summon "Quickdraw".
- Normal Summon "Junk", and use its effect to Special Summon "Tuningware".
- Synchro Summon "T.G. Hyper Librarian" with one of the "Tuningware" from "Machine Duplication", and draw 1 card. Up to this point, you used 4 cards to Summon 2 monsters and draw 1 card, leaving you 1 card behind, but you still have "Quickdraw" and 2 "Tuningwares" (1 of them unable to change its Level) and you will draw yet another card thanks to "Hyper Librarian", for a total of 3 extra draws, leaving you with 2 more cards than what you started with, plus whatever benefits the new Synchro can give you. Synchro Summon the appropriate monster with "Quickdraw", depending on what you want to do:
- You can destroy up to 2 cards with "Junk Destroyer".
- Try to push for game with the effects of "Junk Archer", "Junk Berserker" or "Nitro Warrior".
- Get "Road Warrior" on the field and Special Summon yet another monster. Go with "Cyber Valley" to draw even more cards!
- If you don't have Tuners to pair with this card after you use "Machine Duplication" or "Inferno Reckless Summon", you can also Xyz Summon cards like "Number 83: Galaxy Queen" or "Slacker Magician".
- Use the above strategy alongside "Junk Synchron" and "Quickdraw Synchron" for a lot of advantage in the same turn:
- You can also use "De-Synchro" to Special Summon "Tuningware" back and Synchro Summon a new Synchro Monster to draw 1 more card, and also take advantage of a new situation.
- If you use "Tuningware" to Summon "Formula Synchron", use "De-Synchro", then Synchro again, you draw 3 cards.
- If you first Synchro Summon "Junk Archer" using multiples of this card, you can banish a monster on the opponent's field and then use "De-Synchro" to Summon them back to the field. Synchro Summon with them again to use a more powerful Synchro Monster such as "Stardust Dragon" or "Colossal Fighter" and draw up to 6 cards depending on the number of "Tuningware" used.
- If you use "Tuningware" to Summon "Formula Synchron", use "De-Synchro", then Synchro again, you draw 3 cards.
- "Kinka-byo" can be used to quickly Summon this card from the Graveyard.
- If "Tuningware" is in your Graveyard, you can Normal Summon a "Junk Synchron", and Special Summon the "Tuningware" from your Graveyard, then you can activate a "Machine Duplication", and Special Summon two more "Tuningwares" from your Deck. You can then Synchro summon a "Junk Destroyer", destroy three cards on the field, and draw three cards from your Deck.
- Use this card to Synchro Summon "Formula Synchron" to draw 2 cards from your Deck
- Note that if this card was Special Summoned by the effect of "Junk Synchron", used in a Synchro Summon, then Special Summoned again by "De-Synchro", it can then manipulate its own Level, allowing you to Synchro Summon a monster 1 Level higher than the original Synchro Monster Summoned.
- Also note that if you Summon "Tuningware" from your Graveyard with "Junk", then use "Machine Duplication" or "Inferno Reckless Summon" to Summon two more "Tuningwares" from your Deck, and use these cards for a Synchro Summon, you can only use the Level manipulating effect on the "Tuningwares" Summoned from the Deck, because "Junk" negates the other Level manipulating of "Tuningware" (which is applied on the field when selecting the Synchro Materials for a Synchro Monster), so you cannot go for a Level 9 Synchro Monster such as "Mist Wurm".
Traditional Format
