Killer Exodia Combo (with IOC cards)
This might be a little too wordy but it would greatly enlighten
your duelin' knowledge.
so sit back, read and educate yourself.
There was one card in the IOC expansion set that can
give a killer boost to exodia decks, "Manticore of Darkness". Just in case you
don't know what it is ........
MANTICORE OF DARKNESS
Fire/Animal
Warrior/6/2300/1000
You can activate this effect during the End Phase of a
turn in
which this card went to the Cemetery. Put 1 Beast,
Beast
Warrior or Winged Beast-Type Monster card from your hand or from
your
Field in the Cemetery to Special Summon this card from
the
Cemetery.
Ok what's so special about this card. It's a beast so
will it work better in a beast deck? Well, actually with the right cards, you
can get all 5 pieces of exodia in one turn.
Think of this scenario, lets say
you only have a manticore in your hand, your life points are down to 2000, all
your exodia pieces are in your deck and your opponent has both chaos monsters on
the field. It's your turn to draw, if you don't top deck you'll lose next turn.
You draw and get a graceful charity and use it to get another manticore, monster
reborn and card of safe return. You discard your manticore and monster reborn
and you have just won the game. How you may ask, well that's very simple.
You see, manticore can only be special summoned from the graveyard if
there's a beast, beast warrior or winged beast in your hand or field. Manticore
is also a beast itself. Now going back to the scenario, a manticore was in your
hand and another one in the graveyard. At the end phase of your turn, special
summon manticore by discarding manticore from your hand. Get back the manticore
you just discarded by destroying your manticore on the field. Destroy the
manticore that just came out to reborn the other manticore you discarded. And do
it again and again and again and again and
again.........................................................................................................................
Until you get bored. This is a circle of special summoning manticore. Now this
is where card of safe return comes in. Card of safe return allows you to draw a
card whenever something is special summoned from your graveyard. You know
what this means. Unlimited draws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This is just another elma,
gearfreed and magicians library combo but this one is faster, depending on what
kind of exodia deck you play.
Great Combo
You start off the duel and
you have Monster Reborn, Card of Safe return and painful choice.
play painful
choice to get 2 manticores and 3 magic or trap cards. Even if manticore is not
chosen, play monster reborn to get one out. Then play card of safe return, and
you get to draw your deck. If it's an exodia deck, you'll have all 5 pieces.
