    Try to learn his tactics and try to predict his movement. If you do that, you have a chance of winning. if you lose, remember, it's not whether you win or lose it's how you play the game.

    There is no certain deck that is designed to counter Exodia, but you can try to make then discard their hand (best way to beat Exodia).
  • Question
    What kind of spell card can I use to defeat Exodia?
    Community Answer
    Exchange is a card that forces both players to show their hands, and let the other person take 1 card from that hand. You just have to take a part of Exodia and play it. This can also be used to prevent things like Five Headed Dragon, Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, or Dragon Master Knight by stealing polymerization, which you can use for discarding spell effects. Exchange can completely shut down some decks.

    Community Answer
    Find some good counter cards made specifically for preventing traps and spells.
  • Question
    Can I still win if my opponent has gotten Exodia?
    Community Answer
    No, because once your opponent gets all five pieces of Exodia, the automatically win the Duel. No traps, spells, or monster effects can negate the effect of all five Exodia pieces once your opponent has them. However, you still have a chance to get rid of some pieces by using cards that make your opponent discard their hand before they activate the effect of all five pieces.
  • Question
    I have snatch steal. Can that be used against exodia? It can just steal exodia. Then I could just place it face down and use my nobleman of crossout against it.

    Yes, but your opponent probably will not summon exodia as that locks them out of their only way of winning.

    Go through the less useful cards or play a few games and figure out what you almost never use.

    That is helpful, locking them out of a single exodia piece disables the entire deck.

    Cros Saint

    Yes, you can simply destroy it before it grows out of hand, prevent it from gaining attack with a negate, remove it with a monster effect, etc. Necross is not a strong card by any means.
  • Question
    What is better - Egyptian god cards or the scared beast cards?
    Cros Saint
    Community Answer
    Sacred beasts recently got new support, and were actually very competitive early last year. The god cards also got a structure deck, but they are by no means good.
  • Question
    Is Exodia banned at major/supermajor tournaments?
    Cros Saint
    Community Answer
    No, Exodia is not banned because it is by no means a strong deck in the modern format. Most modern decks can easily take out an Exodia deck in 2-3 turns.
  • Question
    Where do I buy Exodia?
    Kuriboh
    Community Answer
    You can buy the five pieces of Exodia online, such as on eBay, for example. It is not good to buy boosters if you really want a specific card though.
  • Question
    What if they start and use a ton of draw cards and royal magical library, and get all five pieces in one turn?
    Kuriboh
    Community Answer
    If they get all five pieces in one turn, there is nothing you can do. They win when all they have all five pieces in their hand or the field.
  • Question
    What cards would someone want for Exodia?
    Kuriboh
    Community Answer
    Besides all five pieces of the Forbidden One, you would want to have a lot of drawing cards, such as Jar of Greed, Pot of duality or Pot of Avarice. You would also want to have some protective spells and traps, such as Dark Bribe, Drowning Mirror Force and Mystic Mine. Other good cards are Obliberate! and Sangan.
  • Question
    Is there a card I can limit player's cards in hand?
    Kuriboh
    Community Answer
    You can usually have 6 cards in your hand. For example, the card Enervating mist lowers the opponent's hand limit to five. Other than that, most of the cards make the hand limit higher.
  • Question
    How about monsters reborn?
    Kuriboh
    Community Answer
    Monster reborn could be useful in a Exodia deck, but most times you will be able to keep the five pieces away from the graveyard. If you have the card Obliberate! on the other hand, you should probably have Monster reborn in your deck.
  • Question
    Is Exodia allowed in tournaments?
    Cros Saint
    Community Answer
    Yes, it is legal to play only 1 copy of each piece of Exodia. At the current limit, it hasn’t done much in any competitive scene.
  • Question
    What is a good trade for a Exodia? My friend's dad has 3!
    Cros Saint
    Community Answer
    Exodia isn’t a good trade competitively, as it’s a gimmick deck at best. However, if you are looking for a casual deck, or just want the pieces of Exodia for collection reasons, you should probably ask your friend’s dad what cards he would like to trade.
  • Question
    I have Snatch STeal and Nobleman of Crossout. Couldn't I just do a combo, steal a piece of Exodia, and then turn it face down and banish it?
    Cros Saint
    Community Answer
    Yes, that’s pretty much an instant win against Exodia decks. However, Snatch Steal is banned.
  • Question
    Can I just use snatch steal even with all 5 pieces on the field?
    Cros Saint
    Community Answer
    Exodia doesn’t place their pieces on the field, the point is to have all 5 in the hand.
  • Question
    How do I pull Exodia out of my deck?
    Community Answer
    Use cards like Gold Sarcophagus, Sangan, and Witch of the Black Forest. I don't recommend Different Dimension Capsule because if you search a piece with it, since the pieces of Exodia are limited 1, if it is destroyed, your piece still will be banished and it will be hard to use Exodia the Forbidden One's effect.
  • Question
    Can't I use Egyptian god cards?
    Community Answer
    Against Exodia? No. Once your opponent has all five pieces of Exodia in their hand, they win, and you cannot activate or negate anything against it.
  • Question
    Can I use confiscation when beating Exodia?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can but try having cards that can banish cards from the Graveyard, as well as having some cards that have the ability to gain life points.
  • Question
    Does Exodia's ability still work if you have Obelisk The Tormentor on the field?
    Community Answer
    Summoning Exodia is an automatic win, regardless of what cards are on the field.
  • Question
    Can I use chain destruction if they summon it by accident, or something to send all "Exodia" cards in their hand and deck away?
    Community Answer
    If one piece of Exodia, such as the head, was summoned by your opponent, either by accident or to defend themselves as they have another copy of that piece in their hand, it would be possible to send any copies of that piece from the hand and deck to the grave with chain destruction. However, most players would not do this unless extremely desperate or sloppy with their moves, so your best chance would be to get rid of the pieces as quickly as possible.
  • Question
    How do I beat the three Egyptian god cards in one duel?
    Community Answer
    An easy way out is Raigeki, as it destroys all your opponent's monsters, or even Dark Hole.
