Subject: General tips for exodia-- Dinesh Martin

Notable Cards for Exodia deck:
Ring of Destruction:
Although many may see this as worthless,to me it's invaluable in an exodia 
or any deck for
that matter.
I have personally had to endure the fustration of having a wtich of the 
black forest on the

field and my opponent NOT attacking and stalling(when i had 3-4 peices in 
my hand)
Now the ring of destruction can fix all your problems.

Reckless greed:
I haven't seen this card in many exodia decks and I have to ask myself "WHY" 
It's an excellent card where speed is concerned.It's basically like getting 
your Next 2 draw
phases on credit if you activate it during YOUR turn and not during your 
opponents
turn>Remember,if using this card,NEVER activate it during opponet's turn
WHy?
Case #1:
Top 3 cards in deck are exodia peice,witch,sangan
You activate your greed during opponet's turn,u get peice and witch and 
have to wait 2 more
turns for the sangan:o
Now if you wait on YOUR turn,you get the peice as a draw and THEN activate 
the greed:)

Upstart Goblin:
Again not often used and I don't know why.Yes you are putting in a card to 
"DRAW" a card

,but think of the speed involved!I have come across many a duelist that 
just say"why use

this card?Stick in another defensive monstor instead".But remember your 
opponent isn't likly

to waste his majic jammer /Imperial order on such a "worthless" card as 
some put it.


Note:
Unlike many "conventional" exodia decks i prefer to generally STAY AWAY 
from cannon soilder.
Reason?Well in the current gaming environment every Tom Dick and Harry is 
running a Beatdown.
Chances are you are not going to get chance to launch your witch or sangan.

I personally prefer the "suicide bomber" strategie.
Eg; I atk a la jin with a Tomato and bring out witch.Still being my 
battlephase i atk!

You loose a mere 1100 lp but you get an exodia peice which can be crucial 
in the game!


CARds to STAY AWAY FROM:


Miracle dig:

Yes it allows you to bring back peices if your opponent gets the chance to 
remove them,but come on.....If I am soul releasing cards i wouldn't release 
5 monstors for the obvious reason!Side deck this card if anything.

Solemn Judgement :
Oddly enough this is one of the cards "prefered" by some of the duelists I 
know that use exodia.Some running as much as 2.I have cut down mines to ONE 
and ONLY ONE.
Why waste so much lp ?Yes I would use it say an oppoent flips a fiber jar 
and i have 4 peices in my hand,and low lp.But otherwise use sparingly. It's 
better you have alot of M/t removers in your deck.Eg: 3 mst,heavystorm 
and a HFD


Lastly,although exodia decks are greatly underestimated and bashed because 
of the hand disruption cards available,I still love it.
Exodia is as powerful as ever.It takes a extremly skilled duelist to use 
exodia effectivly and well i'm still learning:) I'll post more of these 
tips as i get time and experience
