Exodius" can be used in many OTK strategies, as " Diffusion Wave-Motion" can provide some awesome support. An example of a simple OTK strategy involves:

Wait until your opponent has filled all of their Monster Card Zones. If necessary, force the situation, using card effects that summon monsters to the opponent's side of the field. Cards like " Necrovalley", " The End of Anubis" and " Imperial Iron Wall" are also good options to make the Exodia's parts stay on the Graveyard. Use " Spirit Barrier" with " Exodia Necross" so that you take no damage. Players can activate Spell& Trap Card effects that destroy monsters, but " Exodia Necross" will not be destroyed by them. The next such incarnation is " Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", which provides an alternate method of winning with "Exodia". It is also the only card that supports the "Forbidden One" archetype.Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (and a Tuner and compatible non-Tuners to Summon it. " Fishborg Blaster" works well as the Tuner because it is easy to summon if you have your " Penguin Soldier" already out. Traditional Format only.)

The effect " This card is destroyed when any of " Exodia the Forbidden One", " Right Arm of the Forbidden One", " Left Arm of the Forbidden One", " Right Leg of the Forbidden One" or " Left Leg of the Forbidden One" is not in your Graveyard." is a Continuous Effect. (It is also applied during the Damage Step.) [1] 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. "Exodia the Forbidden One" is no longer mentioned in the rulebook, as its card text suffices to clarify its effect. Some protection from spells & traps, such as " Solemn Judgment" or " Dark Bribe", is good to have to protect your key cards from MST and Heavy Storm.To Draw all five pieces of Exodia in the one turn, continually tribute a " Manticore of Darkness" to revive another using their effect while " Card of Safe Return" is active. This allows you to continually draw cards until you Draw all five pieces. Some cards that go great with this loop are " Foolish Burial" and " Infinite Cards". "Foolish Burial" gets one of the " Manticore of Darkness" to your Graveyard and " Infinite Cards" makes you not have to discard when you draw. While " Skill Drain" is active, " Exodia Necross"' ATK is returned to its original 1800 points. Even if " Skill Drain" then leaves play, " Exodia Necross" does no[ sic] regain any ATK increases it had because of its effect, but it will begin to accumulate ATK points again. If you use " Safe Zone" on "Exodia Necross", it cannot be targeted or destroyed by your opponent's card effects. Even if "Safe Zone" is destroyed, "Necross" will not be destroyed by its effect. Exodia Necross" cannot be Normal Summoned or Set, and cannot be Special Summoned EXCEPT by the effect of " Contract with Exodia". So " Exodia Necross" cannot be Special Summoned with " Monster Reborn", etc., even if Special Summoned properly first. Spirit Barrier (not necessary for the loop but good if your opponent has a high ATK monster and you do not have enough Life Points)
