Exodia cards

Tips

1) Gather every Exodia parts in your hand.

If one of them is missing, you will not be able to win as you do not fit the criteria of having all of them in your hand. This means that hand destruction and deck destruction cards will be very effective against Exodia-dependent decks. These include cards such as Abyssal Designator, Decayed Commander and Warm Worm.

2) Grab some cards that allow you to conveniently draw more cards from your deck

By drawing more cards, you will boost your chance in gathering all five Exodia parts as quickly as possible. Cards such as Skelengel and Shard of Greed may help to exhaust your deck.

I want this again :D

I feel like this should have been a different type of event. For example, rewards for how many times you summon Exodia or something like that. After getting stuck in platinum and going back to gold I just made decks made to summon exodia and that was a lot more fun.

agreed. it would have been cool to have exodia themed card sleeves and game mats, if not some cool cards up for grabs instead of the usual gems.

Yeah, come on, no Exodia icon!? What a waste. Game mats and sleeves would have been cool too!

I love when I get kicked out because 'connection issues' 8 times in a row without even starting the duel and I go down 3 ranks ¬¬
Gabriel
Well just went from silver 4 to silver 1. I just lose non-stop.....This game is pretty much impossible to somebody like to who started like 3 weeks ago. I don't have any really good card. I was able to go silver 4 with my mimic, hamster, shard of greed, but now I think I lost 50 dual in a row.....Guess I'll stop pvp. Anyway does anybody know if this even gives anything at the end???

I've been playing for 3 weeks too but i haven't battled in any pvp. Im at stage 37 and want to get at stage 50 and max out all my characters to get all the good cards. Then i could start using those gems to get even better cards.

I can't agree with that sry. I startet this game 10 days ago. Currently I'm level 41 and in plat. It's always important how much time you spend in a game. I don't think there is much we will get as rewards beside the symbols and the gems.

some people just aim to win without summoning exodia... ah nevermind~~
