This is post-ban, BTW

 

10. Painful Choice

Yep, turns out it's not being banned after all. Nor were IFL, Cyber, Fiber and Change of Heart. Alas, it looks like Witch and Sangan weren't so lucky. Well, this is the best deck thinner so far. Not much else to say.

 

9. Heart of the Underdog

Wow. Draw an Exodia piece (except the Head) and draw another card. Broken.

 

8. Giant Germ

Deck thinning supreme. And an extra bonus.

 

7. Nimble Momonga

See Giant Germ. But it got higher because you are more worried about your LP, not your opponent's, because nothing in Control will stand up to the average beatstick. Just watch it for Bad Reaction.

 

6. Jar Robber

No joke. Almost everyone plays Pot of Greed, and this depletes their card advantage while benefiting you.

 

5. Emissary of the Afterlife

Who doesn't love searching for an Exodia piece now that Witch and Sangan are banned. And this WON'T be restricted!

 

4. Magician of Faith

Get back that Pot of Greed!

 

3. Yamata Dragon

Seriously, set this face down, no Raigeki, no Dark Hole, no choice but to attack it (or Nobleman it) And it has a huge DEF. Voila! Instant hand advantage-Just add fire.

 

2. Pot of Greed

A staple in an Exodia deck. But, then again, a staple in every deck.

 

1. The Exodia Cards

Duh.

 

See you
