You have to build the right deck for Exodia to work. I've actually created an unstoppable deck and here are the cards I use:
1x Exodia the Forbidden One
1x Left Leg of the Forbidden One
1x Right Leg of the Forbidden One
1x Left Arm of the Forbidden One
1x Right Arm of the Forbidden One
35x Pot of Greed
Suffice to say, my success with this deck has been unparalleled.
Wack
Yeah, but when are you going to make a new video
What does Pot of Greed do?
@@leighpettit4618 draw 2 cards
Could that deck beat the master chief though
Excuse me, but my Grandpa plays yugioh and my grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards but it does contains the unstoppable Exodia.
EXODIA! IMPOSSIBLE! NO ONES BEEN ABLE TO SUMMON HIM!
@Valrath823 no, because only yugis grandpa is the only one stupid enough to use it
It also contains the unstoppable mushroom man
What??!! Explodia?!!!
@ruyman90 *takes your grandpas exodia pieces and throws it over broad* Now nothing can stop me from winning the duelst kingdom tournament!
Nobody plays Exodia, because you need Pot of Greed to make it work, but nobody knows what Pot of Greed does.
TELL ME
What does it do again? I forgot
You need a very high IQ to understand what it does. Not even Stephen Hawking fully understood it.
What's Pot of Greed?
@@megamegasamx1014 I don't know but I hear that after it resolves the pot is destroyed so maybe it's a continuous spell or something
But Doug. I play an Exodia deck with my friends. And I always win 100% half the time. Which is extra sad coz I only play with one friend and her name is my sister and she's 8 years old. Oh, I took it to a local tournament and got 15th place. It's an eight person tournament.
Casual Potato that is quite impressive my friend. Not everyone can beat their 8-year old sibling. I lost to my younger brother when he was 8 because I played the game for him whenever we dueled
@@zenithjarrett329 Wow when i used Exodia i would win only 50% of the time to my not conceived baby brother

I win 100% of the time with this deck
All 5 pieces of exodia

I got exodia in my opening hand once. It was in dark worlds to have a back up win con.
what if you play exodia in a diffrent way? i play on one of the worst places for an exodia player to exist dueling nexus but i won more often than not i use like 80 diffrent versions of exodia the idea is no matter what i draw i have a way to win be it by attacking with exodia necross or sending the pices to the grave with exodious the ultamit forbidon lord or using OBLITORATE!!! to destroy my opponents monsters and strenthinging my exodia incarnent
@@freziaplanet4198 what about having high luck but the iq of Joey wheeler?
Well, just play Reinforcement of the Army or something like that. You search your deck for a card, and, while you are searching, you take your deck in your hand, therefore all cards in there are in your hand. So, if all Exodia pieces are in your deck you imediately win.
Or just draw all of them in your first turn
300 iq
Or you just put all five piece on the top of your deck

i play both in same deck and my opponent hate me
So its off the ban list now?
broken
Final Countdown is only 10 turns.
Final countdown is 20 turns... it literally says it on the card. Unless you are only counting YOUR turns but then you are ignoring half the turns in a match which is... well i mean you are ignoring half the match which you just cant do

Nope never. Exodia isn't a card you can summon.

@@sirize9971 there are better chances if you dont follow banlists and us 3 of each, also if you originally put them together as shuffling by hand is not totally random, even if honest

5 bucks says Doug was so ready to use this post in his inevitable "Commenters don't understand Exodia" video
nobody plays exodia becuase
anydeck that can acually pull it off conseisntly gets banned
Pretty much.
Exodia isn't a bad card by any means, it is in fact the best card with a built in win condition since what is required for this win condition is something that you want anyway and that is to draw. The problem with Exodia is that, if it were to become meta, that would be terrible for the game as a whole and anytime it starts to get some steam with a new consistent draw engine, this draw engine gets hit (or it benefits from an engine that is also degenerate elsewhere and is thus hit but it is the same thing regardless)
All in all, Exodia isn't bad in the slightest, it is very very good, and that's why it doesn't see play, because it truly is the forbidden one (or in this case I'd use a direct translation of the French localisation which I find very fitting, it is Exodia the Damned/the Accursed, because it is too good and has to be sealed away and everything that touches it has to be as well, this is his curse)
@@sephikong8323 Damn. Gave you a like. Well-deserved.
Just draw the five cards. You don't need to use anything to cheat. Just keep the cards in your hand bro lol
Pretty much. I faced one back in the day on YGOPro at the time current banlist and I never got a turn because they emptied their deck to get Exodia. Today half that deck is limited or banned.
nobody plays exodia because weevil threw away the only copies

@@akiraasmr3002 This was from before i heard that.
Exodia is inherently a card that cannot be allowed to be consistent.
Yep. It plays alone, if its too consistent, it nreaks the format

@Kenny Herndon - It's a terribly designed game, but that's half the fun of it. Nothing makes sense, everything is weird, balance is non-existant, but the game just runs with it, and it makes it hilarious.
Because you can just return the infinite attack with magic cylinder.
😂😂🤣🤣
That doesn’t work cause the second exodia is played, the duel would be over it’s like an instant win. you would need to prevent the player to get all 5 pieces into the hand.

me, an old exodia player: "I could make a house with all these bricks"
I wonder if most players here are aware that playing "competitively" doesn't mean "I play really aggressively with my friends during lunchtime"?
I love my Exodia deck to death, but it's a third rate deck for fourth rate duelists. I mainly use it for testing out new decks my friends are building because it has so much stall and destruction in it that it's a good test for poking holes in people's strategies for them to tune out of the deck.

I really like your series "Why Nobody Plays", but here is an interesting idea: Do a series where you talk about what it would take for the cards you talk about in this series to be viable in a competitive format.
Making an instant win condition consistent would probably screw up the game, to be honest. You better hope your opponent with the Exodia deck doesn't go first.
In the case of Exodia that's simple : unban/unrestrict the big draw cards (Pot of Greed, Graceful, Disc Commander, Destiny Draw etc)
Is it a good idea ? No, absolutely. If Exodia becomes meta then it becomes a very bad meta as a consistent Exodia deck is the best deck imaginable and you'd have no reason not to play it and the game would just become FTK after FTK. Exodia isn't a "good" competitive card because it is too good to be made consistent and it is the driving force behind a lot of the bans even if not the main one, it is sort of the Pandora's Box of the game, if you let too many good draw cards in then it will become too consistent and wreck the meta.
@@sephikong8323
Not even just instant victory cards, cards that let you draw with little to no cost make it really easy to set up long chains and win that way. If there was a card that says "Draw 2 cards but you cannot activate any card effects that state you win the duel", it would still probably be way too OP.
@@VGamingJunkieVT Draw cards are op for a different reason though. They are OP because they are splashable, there is not a single deck where you would not want to play Graceful Charity or Pot of Greed since they have no drawbacks (I mean Graceful Charity had a drawback at first ....... except that now it would almost be the best effect of the card for certain decks), and this theoretical card's only drawback would only be so for Exodia deck, so everyone else would play it. What makes Exodia OP is that it's win condition is tied to this same thing that you want to do anyway : draw.
Whereas you can slap any draw card without drawbacks into any deck, Exodia is the best card to take advantage of said cards as you don't require more to win the duel, you don't have to invest those ressources you draw into field control, you just need to use them to draw more and thin your deck for that win. Basically : drawing cards are broken because "why would I not play them ?" Whereas Exodia is broken because "if I have a draw engine that can trim my deck, why would I play anything else than Exodia ?". Both are degenerate and stem from the fact that cards are the only ressource in the game tbh
Why are you reading this ?
True, and misunderstandings tend to come from people who play other card games where you need to spend resources to make any moves. With Yugioh, you can play cards all you want and the only limit is one normal summon per turn.
Also, Exodia transcends not only Yugioh but card games in general. I see a lot of other games ( MOBAS for instance ) where they get a perfect team comp and the casters will say " they have the Exodia comp " It's really charming.
Or, in other words: Why Left Leg of the Forbidden One is a staple in every deck.
just wait until a 4 star sphinx monster gets released and use exodd master of the guard to win every duel
I can smell the memes about this video title
Play 5 bricks, then when you brick SUPER hard, insta win. It’s definitely not just bad
Play 6 bricks
I think Exodia more hilarious in a mirror match there is an astronomical statistically pretty much impossible zero turn kill if both players draw all Exodia pieces in their starting hand.
not kidding drawing exodia turn one is 1 in 500,000 making both players draw literally 1 in 100,000,000 aka million
The most legendary draw ever, in both meanings of the word draw.
You never mentioned one of the biggest key things you gotta have when using an Exodia deck. Belief in the heart of the cards ;)
Why nobody plays the forbidden one? Well, simple, it's forbidden. :^)
More like exodia the limited one
To those who are interested, the chances of winning before the game begins, is
0.00000633% chance for your opening hand to be an instant win. And that's with 40 cards in your deck.
If anyone's still confused about the trap card FTK that beats out Exodia that's mentioned at the end of the video, here's how it works.
1. Use the draw spell Upstart Goblin to put your opponents LP to 9000 or more.
2. Use the draw spell Into the Void, that discards your hand in the End Phase.
3. After hitting a dead end on your draw streak, set 3 cards and pass turn. Your hand will be discarded.
4. Play Wall of Revealing Light - pay 7000. Chain Magical Explosion. Chain Life Equalizer. Chain resolves: opponent has 3000 LP, then takes over 4000 damage from Magical Explosion as you're running 20-30 Spell Cards. You win the game.
If you take first turn, your opponent can't even use Quick Play Spells at the start of their turn to destroy your backrow - if they do, you just chain your cards in response. There's no way to stop the combo after the 3 cards are set and the above conditions are met.
There's a reason Kaiba said nobody's ever successfully played Exodia...
Because it's horrifically inconsistent and all the draw cards that *could* make it less so are either limited or banned.
God, I wish the Heart of the Underdog strat was feasible tho. That one's hilarious.
I mean, H.o.t.U. does have a searcher that's searchable
3 copies of sales pitch and at least 2 traptrick should suffice.

What happens if you play his third leg?
i remember taking my exodia deck to a local tournament at some point, way back, then the guy who ran the tournament made a deck specifically just to discard my hand and such to specifically counter exodia, that was quite fun while it lasted (i didnt actually have much success with it, it was just what i had so i used it and had fun with it) I played more of a stall deck rather than a superdraw
Or you want all 5 Exodia in your opening hand
Just learn sleight of hand and pretend to play the deck for a couple of turns then whip out the pieces
You have to run it in your side deck! Without it why even bother playing this game...
Lol
Please tell me you're joking
If you can’t figure out the joke then I’m so sorry for your lack of brain cells
I questioned it because i've talked to people who actually believe exodia is the best card
I know this is a joke but, exodia would not run in your side deck.
Update: in Master Duel you can draw your entire deck in one or two turns perfect for exodia
Yes, hes aware, but it's not in the tcg and not in a tournament. Doesn't make him good at all
@@phantomnite Only because the are better ways to annihilate your opponent, namely VFD, Rhongo and IO. It's telling enough Six Sams favors Rhongomyniad turbo instead of the literal hundreds of consistent FTK combos they have at their disposal.
@@phantomnite casual play and the video games allow for ftk but yugioh continues to change and update ban lists so its become impossible to win on deck building skills but the tcg has become all about the "new meta cards" this would be why i quit the tcg. i shouldnt have to read an encyclopedia of banned cards to build a tournament compliant deck, so i dont have to build two versions of the same deck
@@zeroph3849 it's not that hard to read dude, you're just complaining over nothing there.
It's a tournament, and no one wants to play against an unfair instawin deck, it's just not fun. Sure Exodia is easier to get past but ftks still arnt fun.
@@joanaguayoplanell4912 doesnt negate my point though, and even when those kinds of cards didnt exist, Exodia still wasnt played. Exodia isnt consistent enough
Simply put Exodia, Dark Magician, Blue Eyes White Dragon and other cards from the original first series are the OG pioneers of the game. As the game evolved, they became useless, but to keep them in use, like he said, they tend to be the stepping stones of powerful XYZ and Synchro cards.On a similar scale...The God Cards. Back then, there was so much hype with them, but eventually people began to realize, they actually suck compared to many fusion synchro and XYZ cards, but like I said, they are the OGs of the game and like all OGs, they still get their mad respects.
Like hope Exodia is a good deck, I have no idea what you are talking about..., The issue isn't Exodia, the issue is that EVENTS/Formats that have multiple rounds, and you have a single win condition due to basic RNG your not going to always pull that win condition off.
-Also that build is really old and there is better ones and stuff..., ergo my build was better.
A true exodia deck does not care what the opponent is running you are playing yourself...
They should really semi limit left leg.
Nah left arm is where it's at
WHAT? EXODIA? NO ONE HAS EVER SUMMONED HIM BEFORE! ... And now we know why :p bless you final Egyptian god dzeeff
I love how Exodia isn't the best Exodia combo on Yu Gi Oh
Caio Prado It's in fact one of the worst which makes it extra funny.
Because no one realizes how good it would be with 3 Magic Cylinders and of course we don't know what Magic Cylinder does, since it is equal to Pot of Greed.
I had a great lesson with my math class where we watched this episode for fun and then I asked my students what the probability is of drawing all 5 cards in your opening hand since it fits right in with probability where you don’t replace your sample.
Dzeeff: Exodia bad
Konami literally next year: Y'all ever heard of.....
*MYSTIC MINE?!*
No
Who plays this when you can play Creator of Miracles, shout "ZEXAL Field" and win by attacking directly
I always played and loved decks like this, but I always felt like Empty Jar was by far more realistic. It actively hinders and harasses the opponent, I almost never find myself scoping in response to a single move unless it's a REALLY good movie at a REALLY bad time. More importantly, it psychology messes with players as they second guess every play they make.
I think it would have been good to talk about the bunch of cards that are ban because of Exodia and that even then it is still a just a fun deck that fails on the competitive level
There are no cards that are banned because of exodia.
Cards like pot of greed, graceful charity, painful choice, and pot of avarice are all banned because of other much more powerful decks.
Usually darkworlds.
Darkworlds caused the banning of quite a lot of cards. as did dragon rulers.
@@GeneralNickles cards like Dagger Elma or Primal Seed have been ban because loops and Exodia usually exploits those loops, sure any card draw is good for Exodia but I meant mostly those examples
@@DAK84
Elma is banned because of the infinite gearfreid loop with spell absorbsion. Has nothing to do with exodia. It CAN be exploited by exodia, but so hard to set up that it really doesn't matter.
And primal seed isn't banned. Don't even know what you're talking about with that one.
Primal Seed was limited (sorry tho it had been ban) because again loops that is what I tried to explain before lots of cards were banned on the early days because of loops or interactions and Exodia just exploit them
th-cam.com/video/FxdSasDQTwo/w-d-xo.html
Galactic God explains it better I suggest to see it
@@DAK84 "these cards were banned because they formed infinite loops" and "these cards were banned because of exodia" are very, very, *very* different

Can't wait to see him mock commentors in a week on this one
What about other Exodia cards like Necros, Ultimate Forbidden Lord, Legendary Exodia Incarnate and the few other spell / trap card supports? Was there any potential viable-ness or was Exodia always destined to be for casual play?
Incarnate is nice actually but JUST being a "towers" with on average 3000 ATK means he has no use because:
1. Metaltron
2. Towers himself
3. Ultimate falcon
exodia was designed to be a deus ex machina for the manga.
Necross is terrible
I like the idea of hitting all 5 cards in your opening hand in a live tournament, it’s possible you just need to remember someone wins the lottery 100% of the time the potential it’s you is just ( 1:population of country )
You should have titled the video "Why Exodia FAILED HORRIBLY".That Really triggers
I am surprised you never mention Exodia's support Exodia incarnate and Obliterate!! Which don't really help a traditional exodia deck do help it play in a new and different way which I always found fun in a casual setting. If Exodia ever became competitively viable I would hope it be on introducing more support for exodia specifically like those two cards did, since it felt more like I was playing with my opponent instead of playing solitaire that my opponent could possibly thwart if they happened to draw the right counter.
But Doug, it has no bad matchups. You always have the chance of drawing all 5 pieces turn 1.
That image of a kid playing with his cat just makes me wonder what plot line in the Yugioh anime he must be to fight the legendary kitty duelist
Please, my Left Leg of the Forbidden One beatdown deck has never lost a match.
Am i the only one who, when playing exodia, gets annoyed if i have a card other than an exodia piece in my hand when i get the 5th?
Another issue with exodia is that if any of the pieces go to the graveyard, it's going to be tough to get them back in your hand
Actually they can be in hand and field
Why would life-equalizer be a good card? You have to have a difference of at least 8000 life points, that's not exactly easy to do. What combination of cards would let this work? Can someone link me a deck that utilizes life equalizer and magical explosion?
Cease Benjamin Beast it used to exist back when chicken game was legal, the reason chicken game was banned was because of life equalizer FTK’s
@@Srock8994 just looked it up, and holy shit chicken game is busted lol, I knew there was some crucial component to that strategy that Doug wasn't letting on
There are also cards like gift card that give your opponent 3000 lifepoints.
And upstart gives them 1000.
Life equalizer and magical explosion caused the banning and limiting of a lot of cards.
The crazy thing? Magical explosion is still good in sky strikers. They can amass like 15 spells in there Graves fairly easily. They just grind away until there opponent is low on life and then magical explosion to finish off the rest.
Sometimes wall of revealing light was used in conjuction with upstarts for that.
When I played YGO (from the time it first aired in the US to 2015), I only managed to win by playing Exodia once. Mind you, I only got the Exodia cards in 2009, but I only had them in my deck as filler, basically would "accidentally" show my opponent my hand partially if I had two or three of the pieces to scare them. I somehow managed to draw all five Exodia cards on the opening draw when I was playing with a friend. Absolutely sheer luck and not likely to ever occur again. It was hilarious, though.
I remember having an exodia deck in elementary school showed it my my school bus peeps and they were all amazed that I had all pieces. I played against a friend after school and our matches stalled out to the end when I ran out of cards with 4 pieces of exodia in my hand. I lost and found out I only had 39 cards because some dick head took my card on the bus
But could it beat the 95-96' bulls?
Exodia confirmed for *Jump Force* , game over man, game over 😂😂
Hats off to the guy that played it and won at a competitive level. GOD bless him!
For fun, and in a smaller tourney
But doug, I play exodia casually in my Fearal Imp Deck!!!
So your saying 5 Exodia cards should come off banlist and be 3 of each of the Exodia cards as its useless deck and wouldn't see meta
Yeh Exodia is bad but your only allowed to play one of each piece
As far as I can tell, no one knows why it's on the limited list. If you were ever to run an exodia deck, there'd be zero reason to run more than one of each piece.
My best guess is it's just some arbitrary rule Konami decided from the beginning, and it stayed there based on pure tradition.
Running more than one piece in a deck is brick city. Imagine running three, really. What's more likely on turn one: you luck into drawing all five pieces and win instantly, or you draw multiple pieces and no useful cards and you get OTKed by the waifu guy that still runs Harpies in 2021?
The virgin magical mallet and the chad reload.
I think that [Motion wave cannon] combined with [Swords of Revealing Light] is a very easy win condition.
Especcially if you have cards that can prevent your opponent from destroying your spell cards so that you dont have to reset the MWC.
After you place the Motion Wave Cannon, it begins powering up, when you activate it it deals how many turns has passed since you placed it times 1000.
If you have multiple motion wave cannons that you can place them at the same time and can win in 4 or 3 turns.
Only way of countering the mwc is by destroying it, it has no requirements for staying on the field.
Your opponent probably doesnt have a lot of spell card destroyers, so if you place one then survive for 8 turns, you win.
Hell, add Messenger of Peace(?) into the mix and altough it deals 100 damage to you at the start of your turns, it makes it so that monsters with 1500 or higher ATK cant attack. Place a monster with 1500 atk or def and you are safe from battle damage.
This comment really made me nostalgic for old school Yugioh when I played at school and thought combos like the one you mentioned were actually good
@@Dzeeff thanks I guess? I started playing again like... 2 months ago. I havent played for more than 6 years which were mostly just casual plays. With the pc games though, I havent been able to counter the WMC that much since my cards were all random from booster packs and had like... 2 spell destroyers.
I only won against that AI because it kept destroying its spell cards to (re)summon monsters that I could destroy via brute force or card effects.
But I have to ask, why does it fail? It feels like(and in my experience) is just a really easy way to do a lot of damage to your opponent. Definitely more reliable than Exodia too.
(Edit: also thanks for replying, its nice to see a content creator respond in comments)
The basic reason Wave Motion Cannon has never been good is that it just sits there and does nothing. It takes severeal turns to do significant damage so by the time it's decent your opponent will have either already won or they'll have drawn a spell destruction card
@@Dzeeff thanks for explaining it to me, though I suppose if you were to have other spell cards that are quite effective the WMC could be a distraction to keep those spell cards on the field, or to keep the opponent from destroying the WMC which could deal like 4000 damage which is not that bad.
Cards like burden of the mighty or other continious spell cards that give the contoller a high advantage could be protected this way I think. Thus while WMC wont be able to do much as it will be hit by the spell destruction card before it can deal damage close to 8000, it can act as a sort of a scare tactic I guess?
Ah yes, 2005. The beginning of all recorded history.
Brb going back in 30 minutes and watch the shitfest
Jokes on you Dzeeff. One guy ran an Exodia deck at one event and didn't even make it to the top 32.
That makes it meta now.

I won the whole game on PS4 with a deck filled with normal dragons, heart of the underdog, syncro/xys dragons and exodia.
It's rare, to win by drawing all 5 exodia pieces, but it has happened 🙂
That deck has lost 3-4 times through the whole game and won for the rest.
I made a deck with every banned card and every jar monster. I also win 99% of the time. Card Destruction is really good for killing annoying enemy strategies.
I don't have any banned cards in my deck 🙂
I wan't to be able to kick my friends butts, with all my decks 😉
Not lie, I put together a troll deck in Duel Links that’s puts all the pieces of Exodia in my OPPONENTS hand. They’re like “wtf”, works 7/10 times lol.
i can't help but think of a minor villain in the "battle city" story.
he had 3 of each Exodia part, a bunch of "graceful charity" cards (draw 3 then discard 2), and some "wall" monsters (low attack but high defence).
Yugi defeated him by using "chain destruction" to remove all of his "left arms" from play.
(he beat Joey with that deck earlier)
The exodia heads
@@timothyskidmore1554 ok, in the Anime, it was the heads, but in the Manga, it was the arms.
I only play Left Leg, with Brilliant Fusion, that is
Cyber Stein into Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon was amazing
Then play Megamorph and just one shot your opponent
Weevil didn't needed to trough it on the ocean tho.... yes if yugi had exodia still would be overkill, but!! that scene always makes me mad XD I would never give my card on a boat and close to the water
But Doug, I play this deck casually and beat my friends at lunch table all the time.
Here's some tips to always win with Exodia:
1. Get an unbelievably cute pet.
2. Name them Exodia.
3. Always bring them to tournaments.
4. Bring Exodia deck.
5. While everyone is distracted by Exodia, exchange every card that isn't an Exodia piece for a piece in your deck.
6. Once everyone has stopped petting Exodia, reveal that you already have every piece of Exodia.
7. Watch the third rate duelist tears drop as you give Exodia a treat for their help.
So if Exodia is bad then why are all the pieces at one
because the strategy would probably be actually impossible to pull off with all the pieces at 3.
It actually makes it harder to get all five pieces if you have 3 of each. Better to run cards that let you rig your deck or bypassing draw all together
So then why are they on the list if they wouldnt be run at 3 of anyway?
Hey dzeeff! Big fan of your videos as a player considering going to more tournaments. I was recently wondering about something related to one of your other "Nobody Plays ..." videos.
After the 200th YCS, I was watching a lot of deck profiles and I really wanted to ask you this before I forgot. There was a Paleozoic frog deck that made top 64 in Columbus and I wanted to know your thoughts on the player running literally 3 copies of dark bribe instead of something like wiretap or another alternative.
I know a lot on this channel, you talk about how important card advantage is, especially in the more modern format. As a newer player, I always want to learn more, but at times I'm getting confused signals from some of the best in the player base. In this example, why would dark bribe be useful in such a competitive format when giving your opponent another card is very dangerous and can easily let him/her capitalize despite the effect of dark bribe? I'm just honestly wondering can the card be good in SOME certain circumstance in the competitive scene.
Anyway, great video as usual.
Sometimes you have to remember that just because one player at one tournament topped with a card doesn't make the card suddenly good. He used it as a metagame call, but we can't apply that to every deck/tournament.
Wow! thanks for such a quick reply. That's good to keep in mind. I guess sometimes, I get easily swayed by crazy deck profiles on youtube running super niche cards, but forget that there's a reason that most of the tops in the tournament aren't running a bunch of these cards. I suppose I kind of have an internal conflict where I want to play unique surprise cards to have some sense of individual creativity, but often times this goal conflicts with optimizing my deck to win as much as possible on average.
Anyway, thanks once again.
I have drawn all five pieces of Exodia and won at least two duels, in my life.
What you mean Exodia isn't viable? I still haven't lost a single match with my Exodia beatdown deck.
Most likely not cause of Exodia
