Card Tips:Exxod, Master of The Guard


 * This card can be searched via "Sangan".


 * You can bring this card out quickly by suiciding a "Giant Rat" into one of your opponent's monsters to activate the effect of "Giant Rat" to Special Summon "Criosphinx". Then, Special Summon "Exxod, Master of The Guard" by tributing "Criosphinx".


 * Once this card is out, keep it in defense. By doing this, you have an ultimate defense and you can keep putting Earth monsters face down. Then flip summon them to inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent's life points.


 * Use this card with Criosphinx.Use Foolish Burial to send Criosphinx to the Graveyard.Then use Inferno Reckless Summon to special summon 3 Criosphinx then tribute them to Tribute Summon 3 Exxod, Master of the Guard.


 * This card also works well with Thousand-Eyes Restrict in tandem with Tsukuyomi, in order to protect your face-downs from being attacked, as this strategy relies on flipping, not attacking.


 * This card works especially well with:
 * "Cobraman Sakuzy"
 * "Des Lacooda"
 * "Giant Axe Mummy"
 * "Golem Sentry"
 * "Great Spirit"
 * "Guardian Sphinx"
 * "Guardian Statue"
 * "Man-Eater Bug"
 * "Medusa Worm"
 * "Moai Interceptor Cannons"
 * "Royal Keeper"
 * "Wandering Mummy"


 * This card can work well with "Gravity Bind" or "Messenger of Peace"


 * If your opponent tries to attack your face-down monsters, use "Staunch Defender" to force all of your opponent's monsters to attack Exxod. Another good card to use with this effect is "Patrician of Darkness". This can do a lot of damage with "Canyon" on the field.


 * "Unity" works well with this card.


 * Use "Shield & Sword " to get a 4000 ATK monster.
 * Use Shield and Sword, and then use Megamorph and you've got an 8000 ATK monster.


 * Use "Battle Mania" to force your opponent to attack this card while "Continuous Destruction Punch" is on the field, inflicting large amounts of damage to your opponent and destroying most, if not all, of your opponent's monsters.


 * After using Criosphinx as a tribute, use Hieracosphinx to protect your face-down monsters. Works best with Guardian Sphinx and Guardian Statue


 * You could also use "Ceasefire" when you set the huge amount of EARTH monster.


 * This card can work well with "Great Spirit" (which can be pulled out with "Giant Rat") to switch Exxod's ATK to 4000 (make sure you have a back-up card so you don't take a lot of damage and lose an ace card).


 * Having "Hieracosphinx" on the field will stop your opponent(s) from attacking your face-down monsters, forcing them to either attack your 4000 DEF Exxod or your 2400 ATK "Hieracosphinx". Having a "Guardian Sphinx" Face-down will allow you to put all of your opponent's monsters to his/her hand, leaving your opponent open to attacks from you flipping monsters as well as "Hieracosphinx".


 * You can also tribute Andro Sphinx, Sphinx Teleia, or Theinen the Great Sphinx to summon this card.
