Subject: Forbidden Rant - JK-47

Hello once again to all of those in Pojodom. Pretty much since I started playing the wonderful game of Yu-Gi-Oh, there is only one deck type that I have really been interested in. That deck type involves using an alternative

win condition, one in which you get a certain five cards in your hand to automatically win the duel. I am of course talking about Exodia. There is just one problem concerning my ability to play Exodia, and that being I do not have all the pieces. DB1 helped out a great deal, as I was able to get the four limbs as commons, but I am still missing the head, which as I am sure you all know, is the key piece. What I would like to see is a simple enough solution to this problem. I would like for Upperdeck and Konami to make the next structure deck an Exodia structure deck. That way, all five pieces would be easily obtainable. It really wouldn't matter what other cards came in the deck, as long as they formed a half-decent Exodia deck, just so long as the five pieces were available.

Now I know what you are all thinking. You're all sitting there and thinking that I'm a fool for wanting to play Exodia, and an even bigger fool for wanting the powers that be to waste a structure deck on this strategy. Well,

I'm not a fool. In the current game environment, I think Exodia would just romp through everything. At the very least, your opponent will not expect Exodia to come flying at them. As for the hand disruption that is running rampant right now courtesy of Spirit Reaper and Don Zaloog, there are cards to counteract both of them, and even if they do hit a piece of Exodia, thanks to Pot of Avarice, it is incredibly easy to return monsters to your deck.

But think about it for a second, there is almost blinding speed available out there allowing you to thin your deck, so why not bring back Exodia? In a

40 card deck stacked with 3 Giant Germs, 3 Nimble Momongas, 3 Mystic Tomatoes or Giant Rats, Dekoichi, Des Lacooda, and a few Dark Mimics, how long do you think it will take before you have the five pieces in your hand?

Not very, and thanks to spell cards like Pot of Avarice you can always get any stray piece back from the graveyard.

Thanks for listening.
