The God of All Card Games: History of YuGiOh's Exodia

[@CardmarketYGO]

Check out Exodia’s power in Oliver Bilodeau’s Decklist from Top 32 of YCS Niagara Falls! bit.ly/3Ua86b8

[@Signerdragon123]

Well, everyone a riot later managed to get their hands on Exodia... and that's where the OCG entered a Exodia FTK year not helped by Sangan and Witch of the Black Forest's original texts.

[@tomhossain2099]

It’d be nice if the exodia retrains were covered at some point as well

[@hammer3515]

Please make more of these yugioh history/documentary type videos. Its a good way for people like me who fell out of the hobby to get back in!

[@CardmarketYGO]

Yugioh has a lot of cool history that would make for great videos! I would love to do more if people like them :) -Taylor

[@r3zaful]

millenium exodia is easy enough to pilot as it probably only summon once if you want to play exodia in modern settings

[@IAmJake1995]

I love old-school Yu-Gi-Oh! - I followed it up to the 5Ds/early XYZ era. I lost interest after the XYZ era. The game got too complex, cards became too powerful, combos became too long. I'd love to get back into it, but I feel the damage is already done - and you can't 'reverse' the game to a more enjoyable state.

[@gamptrak]

The outro with the end of the first duel, chills! Thank you Taylor and Cardmarket team for an informative dive into the history! Learned a lot!

[@anikaschulz4541]

The host has such a soothing voice though. I would totally watch a video of him just reading all YGO cards

[@CardmarketYGO]

Man, I played this game as a kid growing up, competitively from 2009 to 2014, even professionally commentated for the ARG Circuit Series and I NEVER once heard about this. Honestly astounding to continue learning new things about this batshit crazy children's card game (sometimes played on Motorcycles)

[@garrettmckay5842]

I've been out of YGO for the last 20 years until the past month. I bought a LOB original exodia set on Ebay last week. My inner child is screaming.

[@TheVP_SSBU]

This story time was awesome. Really enjoyed the backstory of the manga in particular! Thanks!

[@princemarkanthony500]

Great video, when I was a kid, I didn’t know about this 😅

[@r3zaful]

you didnt mention their redemtion last year with anniversary tokyo dome which held in the exact same date when this happen, and the 39k players ycsj tournament

[@austinwilburn1772]

I have a FTK Blue-Eyes Exodia deck. It uses Blue-Eyes cards as resources for a draw engine. I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh anymore but whenever I'm sitting around doing nothing, I'll wipe it out and basically play Solitaire with myself. I use a lot of the original Exodia and Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards from the Bandai. It runs the 5 pieces of Exodia, 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragon, 1 Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon, 3 White Stone of Legend, 3 Cards of Consonance, 3 Toon Tables of Contents, 1 Royal Magical Library, 3 Trade-In.

[@Dylan-jp9mr]

I wish i was around or lived there, i wish i could have competed.

[@hazeljoy1]

OCG history is always such an interesting topic

[@yogi_gs]

Its not OCG history. because their is no OCG back then 😅

[@r3zaful]

@@yogi_gs konami has always call it official card game to differrentiate their yugioh to other manufacturer like bandai's and even tomy's, other can print whatever but the official that approved by takahashi was always the konami's ocg.

[@AZAPZJMZ]

Can’t believe getting into yugioh would lead me here! This video was really stabilized!

[@BaronSengir1008]

In Magic terms, Exodia doesn't use the stack!

[@CardmarketYGO]

Exactly! Exodia is the greatest for a reason!! -Taylor

[@resphantom]

There is no game. Exodia is the only card that can make you win before the game starts, it's known as a turn 0 kill. This happens during game prep when you draw your hand.

[@lebenskaputt]

​@@resphantomThere is also a way with 7 completed to achieve a ZTK. But the only way to do it without anyone playing anything at all is through Exodia.

[@Kalenz1234]

@@resphantom A turn 0 kill is to win on the opponent's turn during turn one. This can be done with Exodia. I'm not sure if it's possible in other ways in yugioh.

[@mp1335]

Great story. Well made and informative video. Played the game for many years, but did not know this. I was skeptical at first, thinking this might just be a clickbait'ey title, but this has surpassed everything I wanted and could have expected. Great stuff! :) Shoutout to the authors.

[@TwistedBOLT]

Oh, I get to be a turbo-nerd now! "If at any point during the game you have these 5 cards in your hand you automatically win the duel" This is technically incorrect, as exodia is only checked between chainlinks and applied effects. During a single effects resolution it is possible to have all 5 pieces of exodia in your hand and not win the game. For example, if you draw cards with Graceful Charity and have all 5 pieces in your hand, you don't win the duel until after you discard 2 cards. Regardless, awesome video, guys, keep it up!

[@DavidsFeverDream]

So basically, you'll win at the start of the next open game state

[@TwistedBOLT]

@DavidsFeverDream Not quite. If the effect on Chain Llink 3 draws you exodia then does something else you win as soon as that something else resolves. The open game state occurs when the whole chain resolves and then both players pass on activating any effects in response to the chain.

[@DavidsFeverDream]

@TwistedBOLT Okay I think I get it. If I have 4 pieces of Exodia and my opponent activates Talents to shuffle back 1 of the pieces, I can chain Jar of Greed, and if I draw the 5th piece of exodia, I win as soon as Jar of Greed resolves and Talents doesn't get to resolve. Is that right?

[@TwistedBOLT]

@DavidsFeverDream Absolutely correct. The duel ends before the talents resolves.

[@ApproxKnows]

1:05 - 1:27 I thought I was having a stroke when the same part played twice

[@lurrielee2755]

You ARE having a stroke

[@CardmarketYGO]

Fixed! Thanks for letting us know! -Taylor

[@SilimSavertin]

During the brief half-year to a year of popularity that YGO held in my school back in the day during the first seasons of the anime, not a single player ever managed to collect every single piece of Exodia. I believe I had 2 parts of it at most back in the day, before trading them away shortly before everyone kinda collectively lost interest in the card game. Me and the other nerds still into TCGs in concept instead got into MtG.

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

thanks for the history review! exodia is truly one of the most iconic monsters in yugioh! and one of my favorites of yugioh, still, to this day.

[@Steve-k4p3q]

I'd ❤ 2 know how Exodia is doing @ tourneys in '24!

[@kylekeen3497]

I wish I had the exodia cards

[@EgoChip]

If you collect cards, at least you'll have something to play with when the EMP's fry all the electronics.

[@sh41]

LOL: I just read an article about Lorcana where people talk about banning Diablo, and Zach Bivens says: " I referred to my opening hands with diablo1, diablo3, action, and Cove as ‘Exodia’"

[@austinwilburn1772]

I knew Heart of the Blue-Eyes was a reference to season 0. Everyone said I was wrong but I freaking called it man. The new Blue-Eyes card's effect was basically what happened in season 0 and they trashed on me lmao.

[@EthanKironus8067]

Had those idiots even read the chapters?! It's kinda obvious.

[@furiousfemmeyazeth3362]

We'd enjoy more Yu-Gi-Oh content on both the metagame history as well as the franchise history in general. 'Tis always exciting to (re)watch these sort of videos~

[@cdelatorre420]

I had a shower thought the other day Since to my knowledge, there isn't a fleshed out canon source for Exodia lore and his place in the pantheon when compared to the other Egyptian gods, I came to the conclusion that what if Exodia is like the Kratos of Yugioh's Egyptian lore? He is arguably as strong as the gods--I'd argue perhaps even stronger given his win condition even if hypothetically the opponent has all 3 gods on their field Also given the fact he isn't divine beast type, he's simply a spellcaster, kinda like how Kratos was just a normal mortal man who climbed to the rank of God, and was a God slayer. I remember there was some appearance and mention of Exodia in the original yugioh's dawn of the duel season, but I don't remember to what extent Exodia's presence or aura was

[@makenaiyomi1083]

Exodia is based on the Egyptian god Osiris (I know its confusing because Slifer is called Osiris in the series) but look it up and it matchhes.

[@YukiFubuki.]

shouldve also explain the origins of exodia being based off of the egyptian god osiris who was also separated into multiple pieces that had to be reassembled

[@Lucario1121]

You gotta love how, decades later, Konami will bring Yu-Gi-Oh! back to the Tokyo Dome for last year's worlds

[@user-nl5re1th8p]

Would be very poetic if the game didnt devolve into a terrible cash grab with mediocre art

@@user-nl5re1th8p the game is literally still the same in terms of art direction, early year you got toon monster vs gravekeeper now you have an entire choir vs a bunch of birds on vacation.

[@seangunnell9451]

This does remind me of what happened to me at a tournament once. I somehow drew all five Exodia parts on my first turn and the other kids accused me of cheating. I didn't cheat, but they refused to believe me and treated me like I was a worse man than Hitler. However, I took the Exodia pieces out of my deck the next week to help prove I was not a cheater. All of the other kids except for one believed me. That one guy still accused me of being a cheater and unfortunately, he took it to the extreme. He would tell every single person in the store that I was a cheater, even if they weren't there for the Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments, refused to let me shuffle my own deck when we got paired in a tournament round, and refused to listen to the concrete evidence that proved to everyone I was not a cheater. It was as if he was in full denial. He even staked on his very life that this theory of me being a cheater was 250% true even though it was not and it lasted for two years. I had to move to a different gaming store to play Yu-Gi-Oh just to get away from the jerk! I did return to that store six months later and it did seem like he was gone, but that guy was one nasty piece of work.

[@dragoran149]

Ok great but when do we get the domain duels?

[@SourceOfBeing]

I believe that you should allowed to place 1 of each Exodia Part in the deck for any TCG, and drawing all 5 will insta-win.

[@valutaatoaofunknownelement197]

Exodia's parts has been limited at one since around or slightly before Goat format originally began. He's just that good, even if his respective deck is heavily powercrept.
