Queen of the Abyss Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 If anything of this game has caused been the prime target of controversy, that thing would be Exodia. Exodia had always been the best friend of stall and solitaire Decks, and has never been fair in spite of being legal for the longest time. I decided to take the daring challenge of turning this around and give Exodia a real niche without it being too nutty. The Deck is revolved around summoning either Exodia Necross or Exodius and working with said monsters, either beating down with Necross, or getting closer to your win condition with Exodius. The cards work a lot closer to the anime than the TCG, and thus I decided to use the Ritual mechanic since Exodia Necross was a Ritual Monster, in addition to using the OCG arts since I don't really have new ones. Feedback is always appreciated! [spoiler Exodia Pieces][spoiler The Head]This card's name is treated as "Exodia the Forbidden One" while it is in the Graveyard. When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned by the effect of a "Forbidden One" monster, you can add 1 Ritual Spell or DARK Spellcaster Ritual Monster from your Deck to your hand. [spoiler Right Arm]This card's name is treated as "Right Arm of the Forbidden One" while it is in the Graveyard. You discard this card; add 1 Level 1 "Forbidden One" Effect Monster from your Deck to your hand. You must control no monsters to activate and resolve this effect.

If an "Exodius" monster you control battles an opponent's monster; you can shuffle this card and all "Right Arm" monsters in your Graveyard into your Deck, and if you do, destroy it.

Queen of the Abyss Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Buffed Right Arm to be a Brio while you control no monsters and shuffled some of the in Grave effects around to fit the flavor of Exodia Necross's immunities more closely, otherwise Bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmaster1991 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I noticed that there is no longer an 'instant win' condition by simply possessing the five different "Forbidden One" cards in your hand. Was that intentional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that intentional?That is correct! I wanted a more fair and less stall driven win condition for this Deck, which is where I decided to focus on Exodius, by which is more practical than it sounds on paper, and still giving you Necross and other plays to react with otherwise. The main point is focusing on Exodia as a theme and not just an alt win condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
