Furthermore, this effect does not have a cost. You can quickly synchro summon high level monsters in a single turn without a major cost. You will need the proper set up for particular synchro monsters for your strategy.

For example,  Vision Resonator may add Crimson Gaia from the deck to your hand. Crimson Gaia allows you to add a card with Red Dragon Archfiend in its text from the deck to your hand during the main phase once per turn. This continuous spell card adds more resources to your hand and it is a great choice for this tuner monster’s effect.
