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

Product Information

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).

Use an effect to prevent " Exodius" from being destroyed in battle. For insurance, be sure the card has an added effect to prevent battle damage. (e.g. " Necro Defender", " Zero Gardna", " Waboku", etc.) Since you need fewer than 1000 Life Points to activate it, you need cards like " Wall of Revealing Light". 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. 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] 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.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. 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". If your opponent takes control of your " Exodia Necross" and does not have all 5 pieces of Exodia in his/her Graveyard, " Exodia Necross" is destroyed if face-up.

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. Summon " Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" and use its effect to send all 5 pieces of "Exodia the Forbidden One" to the Graveyard to declare an instant win.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]

Exodia Necross" can be removed from the field by Spell/Trap cards that do not destroy, or by monster effects that destroy (such as " Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis"). 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. 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. 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.)

Similar Cards

The effect " This card is destroyed when any of " Exodia the Forbidden One", " Right Arm of the Forbidden One", " Left Arm of the Forbidden One", " Right Leg of the Forbidden One" or " Left Leg of the Forbidden One" is not in your Graveyard." is a Continuous Effect. (It is also applied during the Damage Step.) [1] If you use " Safe Zone" on "Exodia Necross", it cannot be targeted or destroyed by your opponent's card effects. Even if "Safe Zone" is destroyed, "Necross" will not be destroyed by its effect. During your Standby Phase have " King Tiger Wanghu" and " Card of Safe Return" Face-up on your side of the field and " Destiny Hero - Departed" in your Graveyard. "Departed" is Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field and you can draw one card due to the effect of "Card of Safe Return". "Departed" is destroyed by the effect of "Wanghu" but Special Summons itself again during the same Standby Phase. This will cause an infinite loop. Repeat this until you get all the 5 Pieces of Exodia in your hand. Reveal " Quintet Magician" using " Future Fusion" to send all five "Forbidden One" monsters to the Graveyard so that you can activate "Contract with Exodia".

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. Exodia Necross" cannot be Normal Summoned or Set, and cannot be Special Summoned EXCEPT by the effect of " Contract with Exodia". So " Exodia Necross" cannot be Special Summoned with " Monster Reborn", etc., even if Special Summoned properly first.Send all pieces of "Exodia the Forbidden One" to the Graveyard so that " Exodia Necross" can be summoned; or 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".
