civic.slow Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 hey guys, i started yu-gi-oh about 5-6 years ago. and recently got a coupon for a free pack of cards from the shop. i went and got it and i didn't recognize half the cards i pulled, unions, what are the white cards? i went and asked the shop owner which pack was the newest he told me: yu-gi-oh 5D's Absolute Power Force so i cashed the coupon for one of those, i managed to get one of the cards you guys were talking about in this forum. Oilman, which is a union card that allows me to draw cards. i used to live in japan, played there, then moved here and started even before the starter decks came out (built a deck out of legend of blue-eyes packs) i quit right around the time when gemini elf and other 1900 atk monsters were the newhot sheet. i used to have a pretty badass deck from what i was told: -3 First edition LOB exodia pieces-and when i felt like it i used the game promotion head or the first edition LOB head -rageki -jinzo-painful choice-pot of greed -messenger of peace typical cookie cutter exodia lockdown deck and won a few tournaments back in the day. but, winning sucked. one time the guy i ended up beating for first place pulled a mechanical chaser from his tournament pack, :P i still have all of the cards i listed above, but about 2 years ago i sold mirror force, injection fairly lily and a few imperial orders and a bunch of other cards i can't be bothered to remember when i decided to buy my ducati. so what advice do you have for pretty much a "noob" to this sheet again. is an exodia win still a viable strategy? i remember back when i played a yata guruso was a brand new card that snuck by my lock downs. what did i miss? alot?

Aximil Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Exodia is no longer a good deck in todays format. I'll let someone more experienced come along and say what needs to be said though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0b3rt Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Exodia works as a decktype, but it's difficult to win consistently with against the rest of the metagame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aximil Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 It's only good in Traditional. But there are also tons of other decks in Traditional that are waiting to FTK the hell out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0b3rt Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 No, a simple exodia build can still accomplish a FTK ~30% of the time. Other variants (appropriate, etc) are maybe more consistent at OTKing but require 1-2 turns to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aximil Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 But there ARE better Traditional options. And Exodia decks are completely outdated in Advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are also tons of other decks in Traditional that are waiting to FTK the hell out of you. well since i only have 9 cards that are legal in the new 5ds series i think traditional is my format. you think running exodia in traditional for one tournament then disappearing would prevent people from running anti-exodia decks? i will provide a decklist tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civic.slow Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 You have only nine cards that are not banned? I find that hard to believe. well here is my deck as i left it in 2004-2005, 90% of these cards cannot be used. i have a whole binder of 'secret rares ultra rares/super rares of that era (close to 300 or so) so i can sell those to fund a new deck.

GenzoTheHarpist Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Yeah... that is a lot of banned cards. Or more copies of unlimited cards than you can use. My advice: don't run Exodia. It isn't good. Run an easy to use deck that doesn't require too much experience to get the hang of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aximil Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Not sure on the number of Gravity Binds. Pretty sure it's 3 so that's fine. but this would be a Traditional deck if you removed 2 of those Graceful Charities. And it's not limited, it's banned.

CrabHelmet Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Exodia isn't a one-card combo that destroys all cards the opponent controls, so it isn't competitive nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0b3rt Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 It's going to take a lot of catching up. Go to the yugioh wiki: http://yugioh.wikia.com And search for: Synchro Read about the new game mechanic. Then browse the TCG section for about a week. Should give you a decent idea of what today's meta plays like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARKPLANT RISING Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 If you duel much, you will see the horror of Hand Loss. Exodia is something Kazuki Takahashi created for the sole purpose of selling YGO Card Boosters at high prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Gideon. Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I use an exodia deck, in the fast milling way actually its pretty good.but if you'r making a deck depending on stall/drawing, then it will never be good. Konami hates stall and strategies, they want everything fast, so stall will never work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Well, I don't find draw-based Exodias very consistent. Mill based and Sangan/Emissary ones, on the other hand, have a little more decency to their name. Mill-Xodia focuses on using Foolish Burial or Armageddon Knight and other such cards to send an Exodia copy to the grave. Then cards like Factory of Mass Production and Dark Eruption can reclaim your Exodia pieces sent to the graveyard. Dark support is handy here. Emissary Exodia focuses more on searching out the pieces and adding them to your hand. Emissary of the Afterlife allows you to retrieve a Normal Exodia piece, while Sangan can get any of them. Call of the Haunted can bring the two of them out again to search all over again. Also, one could try to fuse the two builds together to gather the pieces in various ways. For exmaple, you could Armageddon your Sangan to the grave, then CotH it and suicide it into a monster to search out a piece. There's also Exodia Necross, but he's rather bad. It's a shame, as he's the coolest Exodia out there in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
