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.

u can thin out ur deck with HotU+VoD combo easily, even discard the Exodius cards until u can draw a Backup Soldier, and use the trap card FTW
ser
so far at gold 5 the best decks in this are beatdowns that use exodia parts as discard cost or michizure fodder.

Imo. Just use the modified version of Normal Budget listed in the Special Duel Decks. It's basically a standard beatdown, which works. Just add some draw cards like Common Charity or Shard of Greed.
Anonymous
terrible event imo. what's the point of the "grandpa's cards" skill, if no one is going to pay attention to it. I said it before, exodia won't work in the current meta decks. takes too long to draw, you're dead before you get it out. Might as well play with regular deck. The win condition should be to draw exodia, and not just win by regular means. THEN, and only then is it a "special duel".

I thought, if the opponent would not aim for the 5 exodia parts on hand, we will both lose as the objective has not been met. Those impudent bastards, I though. They were not complying with the duel objectives and PROCEED TO SHAMELESSLY DWINDLE DOWN MY LP like it's a normal ranked duel. Oh whatever, they were rookies indeed. Noobs, in a nutshell. How gravely wrong I am. They were actually winning it, they were climbing the ranks, while I stagnate in the ranking, looking like an imbecile fool getting punished by these very same rookies that I truly abhor. Very well, no custom deck for me for this special event.

When you don't read card descriptions or when the anime lied to you your whole life.

To all of you haters out there:

Well this sucks, what's the point if nobody is using Exodia decks? They've should made getting the 5 parts of Exodia mandatory to win any duel in this event.

That moment when skelengels became the fad out there. I already reverted to my NORMAL DECK, but back then when I was "forcefully" convincing myself to pull off exodia parts, I think the opponent was really laughing at me. He already swarms the fielD with grephers, beans, etc while I'm still relentlessly and INNCENTLY trying set down skelengels, shard of greeds, etc. WHAT HUMILIATION!

I played with standard pvp deck. Others were trying to pull exodia parts. It took 6-7 turns on avg to beat them.
