'Exodia the Forbidden One' is one of the most iconic cards in the franchise, being well known for its automatic win condition and Yugi's use of it in the first episode of the anime. 'Exodia the Forbidden One' is no longer mentioned in the rulebook, as its card text suffices to clarify its effect. Notably, 'Exodia the Forbidden One' and the other 'Forbidden One' cards were the only monsters ever specifically mentioned in the rulebooks (other than as an example), due to 'Exodia the Forbidden One' being the only card with an alternative victory condition at the time. The main card, ' Exodia the Forbidden One', is one of the first five Effect Monsters ever to be released and the first card to have an alternative victory condition. While many people refer to the 'Forbidden One' cards as 'Exodia' cards, only 'Exodia the Forbidden One' (the head) is part of this archetype. It is related to the ' Forbidden One' archetype. They are focused on alternative victory conditions, and has support related to summoning or strengthening Beatsticks resembling Exodia. Then, you’ll be able to just keep activating Spell Cards, and then activate Library’s effect to draw even more.' Exodia' (エクゾディア, Ekuzodia) is an archetype of DARK Spellcaster monsters, with its first member released in Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon and its first support released in Millennium Box Gold Edition. The best way to make use of it is to get one, and then two by way of Double Summon, out on the field. Since Royal Magical Library’s effect is not a once per turn one, making use of it is vital. This card is extremely important for this deck. However, there are two other key components to watch for. Upstart Goblin, Into the Void, and Dark World Dealings are examples of that. The Spell Cards that are used for this deck are mainly used to mill out the deck by drawing.

(x3) Dark World Dealings – Discard one card, and draw another.(x3) Magical Mallet – Can shuffle any number of cards from hand to Deck, and can then draw the same number.The last effect doesn’t matter too much, since Exodia decks rely on getting the five pieces in hand before the effect goes off.
