 * You do not have to have a lot of monsters in your Graveyard to summon Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord. If your opening hand includes a monster that can be discarded for its effect, such as D.D.

 * This card can be used to recycle monster cards whose effects have already been used, such as Nimble Momonga.


 * You can use this card in combination with Lightsworns monsters to send as many cards as possible from the top of your deck to the Graveyard. Simply summoning it will also recycle all your Lightsworns to counter the self-milling in that deck (though doing so will reduce the effectiveness of Gragonith, Lightsworn Dragon and Judgement Dragon).


 * When using this card, keep in mind that a simple Soul Release can ruin your chances of winning due to this card's last effect.
