Card Tips:Exodia the Forbidden One

This card is best used with:


 * Left Arm of the Forbidden One
 * Right Arm of the Forbidden One
 * Left Leg of the Forbidden One
 * Right Leg of the Forbidden One

In a Deck based on these 5 cards, it is best to use lots of draw power to acquire all 5 cards.

Butterfly Dagger - Elma Loop (Traditional format only)
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 cards until your draw all five pieces.

Human Wave Tactics
Another good strategy is to use the normal Exodia monsters in combination with Human-Wave Tactics, along with monster retrieval cards such as Backup Soldier and Dark Factory of Mass Production.

Manticore of Darkness Loop
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 your draw all five pieces.

A quick way to trigger this loop is to tribute Manticore of Darkness for Generation Shift or Next to be Lost.
