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 a Card until you Draw all five pieces. Players can activate Spell& Trap Card effects that destroy monsters, but " Exodia Necross" will not be destroyed by them.

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. Reveal " Quintet Magician" using " Future Fusion" to send all five "Forbidden One" monsters to the Graveyard so that you can activate "Contract with Exodia".

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.) 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.

Use " Spirit Barrier" so Exodia Necross nether can be destroyed by battle or take battle damage from battles. Have "Dark Magician of Chaos", 3 " Cyber Valley", " Spell Economics" and " Dimension Fusion". Have the 3 "Cyber Valley" and the "DMoC" Banished. Activate " Spell Economics". Activate "Dimension Fusion" to Special Summon "DMoC" and the 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".

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. 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.) Cards like " Necrovalley", " The End of Anubis" and " Imperial Iron Wall" are also good options to make the Exodia's parts stay on the Graveyard. Use " Spirit Barrier" with " Exodia Necross" so that you take no damage. Exodia Necross" can only be Special Summoned by the effect of " Contract with Exodia". After it is Special Summoned, if it is sent to the Graveyard, it cannot be Special Summoned by an effect like " Monster Reborn". [1]

Since you need fewer than 1000 Life Points to activate it, you need cards like " Wall of Revealing Light". Samsara Kaiser (recommended at least one at the beginning of the loop, you can start even without it, but will be impossible to continue if you don't draw it) 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] 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] Wait until your opponent has filled all of their Monster Card Zones. If necessary, force the situation, using card effects that summon monsters to the opponent's side of the field.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). 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. Spirit Barrier (not necessary for the loop but good if your opponent has a high ATK monster and you do not have enough Life Points) 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 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.

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. Contract with Exodia: When you activate " Contract with Exodia", and your opponent chains " Disappear" to remove a piece of Exodia from your Graveyard, you still Special Summon " Exodia Necross", but "Exodia Necross" is then destroyed because of its effect.Exodius" can be used in many OTK strategies, as " Diffusion Wave-Motion" can provide some awesome support.
