Card Tips:Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo
- This card can be searched by "Reinforcement of the Army", "Upstart Golden Ninja", "Ninjitsu Art of Dancing Leaves", "Ninjitsu Art Notebook of Mystery", "Ninjitsu Art of Duplication", "Twilight Ninja Shingetsu", "Meizen the Battle Ninja", "Double Dai", "Infernoble Knight Captain Roland", "Wake Up Your Elemental HERO", "Iron Knight", "Dragodies, the Empowered Warrior", "Arcana Extra Joker", "Exchange of Night and Day", "Field-Commander Rahz", "Freed the Matchless General", "Gaia, the Mid-Knight Sun", "Creeping Darkness", "Dharc the Dark Charmer, Gloomy", "Dark General Freed", "Chaos Zone", "Summoner Monk", "Primathmech Alembertian", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Soul Rope", "Resonator Engine", "Rescue Ferret", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.
- Use "Upstart Golden Ninja" to Special Summon this card. Then use this card's effect to add another "Upstart Golden Ninja" to your hand, and overlay both for a Rank 4 Xyz Monster.
- Use "Summoner Monk" to Special Summon this card. Activate its effect, since they are both DARK, you can Overlay both for a "Evilswarm Nightmare", or any other Rank 4 Xyz Monster.
- If you search for "Ninjitsu Art of Transformation", you can summon "Mist Valley Apex Avian", which allows you to negate any effect if you return a "Mist Valley" card. This can be a deadly set-up on the first turn, especially if you have "Divine Wind of Mist Valley" in your hand. You can essentially negate any two effects that activate during your opponent's next turn by just returning those two cards to your hand.
- You can also use "Ninjitsu Art of Transformation" to summon "Dark Simorgh" and lock down your opponent's ability to Set cards. If you have "Anti-Spell Fragrance" face-down, you can use it to stop your opponent from playing Spell and Trap Cards entirely, gaining a significant advantage.
- If you search for "Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation" instead, you can summon "Dark Horus" whose effect will activate when your opponent activates any spell card during their turn, allowing you to special summon "Hanzo" and use his effect to search any "Ninja" in your deck other than himself.
- Use "Book of Moon" or "The Shallow Grave", targeting this card, to recycle its effect.

- This could also be done with "Wind-Up Zenmaister" twice, thereby providing more muscle on your field, however this leaves "Zenmaister" weaker, making the above method the preferred one.
- Combine with "Tsukuyomi" to continuously use this card's Flip/Special Summon effect.
