Yu-Gi-Oh! - Exodia Necross (DCR-020) - Dark Crisis - Unlimited Edition - Ultra Rare

Product Information

While the primary purpose of "Exodia" is to declare an automatic win through having all five pieces of the "Forbidden One", there are other ways to use it. As for staple monsters, cards such as " Battle Fader", " Swift Scarecrow", and " Zero Gardna" are especially useful here. The Fader and Scarecrow can be used from the hand, so they are safe from destruction cards that involve the field.

To Draw all five pieces of Exodia in the one turn, continually tribute a " Manticore of Darkness" to revive another using their effect while " Card of Safe Return" is active. This allows you to continually draw cards until you Draw all five pieces. Some cards that go great with this loop are " Foolish Burial" and " Infinite Cards". "Foolish Burial" gets one of the " Manticore of Darkness" to your Graveyard and " Infinite Cards" makes you not have to discard when you draw. Send all pieces of "Exodia the Forbidden One" to the Graveyard so that " Exodia Necross" can be summoned; or Samsara Kaiser (recommended at least one at the beginning of the loop, you can start even without it, but will be impossible to continue if you don't draw it)

In addition, there is " Exxod, Master of The Guard" which greatly resembles "Exodia", though without an automatic win effect or any relationship or effect involving the Exodia archetype. In the same vein as "Necross" being the Zombie counterpart of "Exodia", "Exxod" resembles a completed, though still sealed, "Exodia". Activate " Ultimate Offering" and " Precious Cards from Beyond" then Normal Summon 2 monsters (preferably 1 " Samsara Kaiser"). Tribute them to Summon " Red Ogre". Draw 2 cards from " Precious Cards from Beyond", then discard one to return " Red Ogre" to your hand. Continue this until you get all of the pieces in your hand. " Mysterious Puppeteer" will make any Normal Summon by " Ultimate Offering" effectively costless. Both being Warrior-type monster they can be searched by " Reinforcement of the Army". If you must discard or use for a Tribute a Piece of Exodia at the start of the loop, use " Monster Reincarnation" or " Dark Factory of Mass Production" to return it to your hand. Once you can repeat this loop 2/3 times, there will be no problem to finish it. Two copies of " Level Eater" can serve as tribute fodder for " Red Ogre", allowing you to save 1000 life points each time you summon it. Your hand would increase by one card per summon as you would draw two from " Precious Cards from Beyond" and discard one to return the "Ogre" to your hand. You can get +3 per summon if you add " Card of Safe Return" (Traditional Format only). Burn cards will eat this play style alive. An alternative to stopping Burn cards from eating your life points, is encouraging it. " Self-Destruct Button" is a great way to save space and time in bad draws, as a tie is a great way to start over in losing situations. This card requires you to be behind, and have a difference of 7000 life points or more to activate, which is relatively easy to achieve. So, " Upstart Goblin" helps to separate the life points, as well as any cards with life point costs, such as " Final Countdown".

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (and a Tuner and compatible non-Tuners to Summon it. " Fishborg Blaster" works well as the Tuner because it is easy to summon if you have your " Penguin Soldier" already out. Traditional Format only.) The effect " during each of your Standby Phases, increase the ATK of this card by 500 points." is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target. It is activated once during each of your Standby Phases.) [1] The effect " This card is not destroyed as a result of battle or by the effects of Spell or Trap Cards" is a Continuous Effect. [1] Some protection from spells & traps, such as " Solemn Judgment" or " Dark Bribe", is good to have to protect your key cards from MST and Heavy Storm.Players can activate Spell& Trap Card effects that destroy monsters, but " Exodia Necross" will not be destroyed by them. Some cards, such as " Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En" and " Naturia Barkion", can prove to be a threat to your stalling engine and will have to be dealt with. Cards like " Dark Hole" and " Lava Golem" are effective ways to get rid of them. Cards like " Necrovalley", " The End of Anubis" and " Imperial Iron Wall" are also good options to make the Exodia's parts stay on the Graveyard. Use " Spirit Barrier" with " Exodia Necross" so that you take no damage.

The next such incarnation is " Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", which provides an alternate method of winning with "Exodia". It is also the only card that supports the "Forbidden One" archetype.

While " Skill Drain" is active, " Exodia Necross" is not destroyed if Exodia pieces are removed from the Graveyard, but it will be destroyed if the effect of " Skill Drain" disappears. This can only be declared 20 turns after Final Countdown is activated. If "Final Countdown" is initially negated, the only way to declare a Final Countdown Victory is to retrieve "Final Countdown" from your Graveyard (or having another copy), activating it (provided you have 2000 Life Points to spare), and wait the applicable 20 turns. Thus, including cards that can negate attempts to destroy "Final Countdown" is a wise idea.

Continually equip " Gearfried the Iron Knight" with " Butterfly Dagger - Elma" while " Royal Magical Library" is on your side of the field. This allows you to continually Draw a Card until you Draw all five pieces. Exodia Necross" can only be Special Summoned by the effect of " Contract with Exodia". After it is Special Summoned, if it is sent to the Graveyard, it cannot be Special Summoned by an effect like " Monster Reborn". [1] Exodius" can be used in many OTK strategies, as " Diffusion Wave-Motion" can provide some awesome support. An example of a simple OTK strategy involves: The main card, " Exodia the Forbidden One", is one of the first five Effect Monsters ever to be released and the first card to have an alternative victory condition.Since you need fewer than 1000 Life Points to activate it, you need cards like " Wall of Revealing Light". Mysterious Puppeteer (not necessary to start the loop but it is essential to draw it soon as it will make any Summon costless)
