NO!!!!!!!!! We have gotten rid of Exodia.

A few years later Exodia is going to become the next deck problem

Well with "Backup Soldiers" now massively available (see 5D starter deck), along with "Monster Reincarnation" (see 5D starter deck), we see an easy return from graveyard solution...

However, please note that this does not mean that the deck is all that playable...  The key cards in most exodia decks are Normal Monsters (hehe...  Normal Tuners) and Heart of the Underdog.

Some other Exodia hybrids run the Manticore Loop draw function, or in the "Traditional" play, the "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" + "Gearfried the Iron Knight" + "Royal Magical Library" combo.

I personally like Exodia Turbo with Royal Magical Library and the Destiny Draw/Allure of Darkness/Trade In combos.

I've been having fun with Exodia, the Forbidden Lightsworn.

"Broken Blocker" will only help my "Destiny - Exodia" deck.  Go ahead and kill my Defender by battle...  Oh, lookee!  Broken Blocker!  Special 2 more in Def position!  Oh, you're attacking one?  Unity!

O.o Actually it's ment to give a Pseudo GKer's Spy addon to your decks lol.Use it with Guardian Sphinx and watch the humor roll. Mostly you'll see Monarch Decks abuse it.

2 x Defender + 2 x Appropriate = 8 card draw during my opponent's standby phase.

Congrats, you're praying for a 4 card combo preferably within the first 3 turns, which includes 3 bad cards. Statistically speaking, I think YGO calls that "Praying to the Cards"

No traps at all. This deck depends on getting 1 or more Heart of Underdog out (please read FAQ for handling multiple ones) then using the Quick Play spells all during your Draw Phase to try and abuse the effect of (multiple) Heart of the Underdog.

Not a Tier 1 deck...Loses horribly or wins easily...mostly against newbie decks. With Breaker back, it will be even harder. If you opponent opens with Heavy or Mystical you are in trouble.

Pros also learn to manage their hands (set everything) so your Hand Destructions become useless.

Try it out with proxy cards if you don't have them all....when it works, it works ridiculously.

Caution against lazy shuffling. I lost game 1....Won game 2 with Exodia...I lazy shuffled, so did my opponent....Game 3 my opening hand was all five pieces of Exodia.....only happened once. I apologized to my young opponent.
