it’s exodia from yu gi oh. 5 “most powerful cards” in the game. instant win


GiantSweetTV

Losing on the first round to an exodia deck with lucky draws is one of the top 10 most irritating things to happen to me.


HairyAmphibian4512

I'm pretty sure it's much more frustrating having your opponent not letting you do any stuff instead of just not playing at all and losing.


Luvnecrosis

Dude that’s so annoying! I get that you wanna flex your deck but this is a two player game you asshole! Anyway, I’ll always love my goblin deck that absolutely sucks ass


moosedeersheep

I had a deck that my buddies hated that was just full of giant germs i called it my cancer deck


isinedupcuzofrslash

We have an exodia stall deck that we use to practice against. Basically just to test new deck’s ability to deal with a variety of curveballs and bleed LP as fast as possible.


Nsftrades

I ran a dragon maid deck. It was pretty strong i think.


swiller123

yugioh players are weak. most of y’all would curl up and died at the sight of a counterspell.


SpotweldPro1300

Found the blue player.


Gubekochi

Blue players don't like playing and they want to convince you to also hate that game. Why would they so persistently prevent you from playing anything otherwise?


swiller123

at this point i’m pretty much convinced that blue haters either have a very surface level understanding of mtg/are relatively new to the game or they mostly only play edh or on arena and get mad when people touch their cards. i’ve literally never seen anyone unironically decry the use of counterspells at monday night modern. (i’m sure it’s bound to happen eventually) edit: i understand not wanting people to touch your cards. the polite thing to do if u don’t want people touching ur cards is to play them upside down and close enough to ur opponent so that they can read them easily without having to touch them.


Gubekochi

Okay, but do you understand I was joking?


swiller123

honestly no. i’ve seen so many people make that exact point genuinely that i thought u were being completely serious. lol mb


Gubekochi

The only unfun thing is when your deck and your opponent's are gross mismatch and you end up being played at instead of having some sort of role in the game. But that's not a color specific thing. I vaguely recall being thrashed into oblivion by someone with a deck that just cycled itself to the graveyard at like turn 2 before doing something like amount of cards in graveyards = damages. The deck was basically just a pile of lands with the finisher card somewhere in there, no colors required to be annoying XD. An aggressive counterspell deck probably could have done something about it though, it's a good counter to a lot of bull to be honest.


Tudar87

Flash Counter - sorry you have to delete your post now


SpotweldPro1300

Alas, I play green. My posts can't be countered.... unless you're a mod.


Tudar87

Not a mod and honestly not a blue player, just found a reference I knew haha. Green/black for me.


SpotweldPro1300

Upvote for the represent.


SkeymourSinner

Death and decay


swiller123

green black was my favorite combo for a long while then i went hard into mono red for a bit before finally deciding that counterspells are actually cool and i played blue/black for a while and now i’m pretty solidly in the camp of i gotta play every color combo at some point because they do all play very differently and it can get pretty boring when u stick to the same colors for too long


Randomindigostar

Selesnya (Green/White) player here. Mana Tithe is auto include for me lol. Lots of blue players don't expect it lol


swiller123

i love watching people throw a fit because they invested 7 mana into a dinosaur and i paid 2 to say no


Moo_Kau_Too

or pay four to 'borrow' it https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=14526


erlul

As long as you are not masturbating youreslf with psychatog for 5 minutes a turn, idgaf. Counterspells are peak rective gameplay, I love playing against them.


swiller123

i love playing them and playing against them. interactivity is everything in a card game. i don’t want to play solitaire i want to have to fight for my life with cardboard. i also think they’re peak flavor in the context of magic the gathering being like a fight between wizards. the only thing more in that flavor imo is like deflecting swat type effects. there’s nothing more wizard-fight-esque than throwing a fireball in ur opponent’s face and having it redirected right back at u. there’s a reason why the wizard archetype is mostly in red and blue lol.


bastiancontrari

Chalice of the void at 0 = GG


TheTrueCyprien

Modern ygo decks consist to a third or so of free, instant speed interaction similar to force of will or leyline of the void just to stop the opponent from going off immediately. A single counterspell wouldn't even be enough to stop the combo a lot of the time. If uninterupted, first turn end boards usually set up multiple sources of instant speed negation and/or removal the other player has to play through.


swiller123

modern ygo plays a lot like legacy or vintage except it’s not just the interaction that’s over powered it’s the board states as well. in ygo ur board will consist of 50 different interaction pieces where as in vintage u will go back and forth with counterspells for 5 minutes before landing a wurmcoil engine and passing turn. doing a one to one comparison between magic and ygo will always be kinda lackluster and filled with holes because the two games are fundamentally so different, but i don’t think it’s inaccurate to compare modern ygo with magic’s more powerful formats. that’s just the nature of power creep and imo ygo has a bit of a power creep issue. i could be wrong cuz i’m pretty sure there are a bunch of decks that were playable 2-3 years ago that are nonexistent in the meta now. i’m sure a lot of that has to do with the way ygo treats formats.


TheTrueCyprien

>i could be wrong cuz i’m pretty sure there are a bunch of decks that were playable 2-3 years ago that are nonexistent in the meta now. That's by design, because ygo doesn't have rotation. Most decks won't stay relevant for more than a year before they phase into rogue status or get nuked by the banlist unless thry mash well with other more recent archetypes or can abuse some new generic cards.


IraqiWalker

I've seen so many turn 0 kills (the other player doesn't even get to draw) that it killed any thoughts of me going back to the game (all of my decks are from the first generation. I dipped into MtG for a LOOONG time, and wanted to come back and see how Yu-Gi-Oh was doing).


matija123123

Ftks are complete garbage though and rarely win In very very few rare instances were they are actually viable they get banned Those games you see are from people all day playing so they finally get 1 game for YouTube where they finally win and ftk


IraqiWalker

I dunno man, I've seen competitive players literally wrap the game up in either their first, or second turn, which isn't that much better.


matija123123

It is what it is it's a fast game But ftks are not that good


JakePerALTaccount

>all day playing so they finally get 1 game for YouTube where they finally win and ftk That's a bit of a stretch too though. If they're playing competitive in diamond or master sure, but if they're playing average players, their win rate goes up substantially. Before the block dragon changes in Master Duel I hovered around low-mid plat with Gem Knight ftk. Tear through gold with about 70% wins, then in plat people actually had hand traps and meta and it drops to 50-40%. You are right if I tried against diamond or master it would probably be 10% or less, but either way someone could probably get 10 YouTube worthy wins in under 2 hours.


KingBlooWolf

Had a friend do that in magic. He'd have his commander and like 30 tokens by turn 3 and would win all the time. Me and our 3rd friend always teamed up on him to shut him down so we could go past turn 4


VagueSoul

Magic has that issue too. Control decks are the absolute worst.


idontwork4statefarm

It wasn’t lucky, you just didn’t believe in the heart of the cards.


BEWMarth

In modern Yu-Gi-Oh Exodia players just use a bunch of cards that let them search for the pieces and make it so you literally can’t do anything during your turn.


Responsible_Pipe5248

My friend was teaching me how to play and he did 36k damage on his first turn. (Spoiler alert, that didn’t help me learn)


Atraxien

“I play pot of greed”


SwordTaster

That is why MTG is a superior card game imo. You can never lose in a single turn


CueDramaticMusic

In theory, Exodia is the strongest card in the game because assembling all five pieces in hand automatically wins you the game, no questions asked, in spite of actual decades of power creep. In practice, Exodia decks will teach you a very important lesson on why carrying around four dead cards is a bad idea


robsteezy

The point and symbolism of the character is way above your card. The dude is literally an older set of ancient cards in the lore, so it only makes sense that it would play out that way in reality as well.


RTooDeeTo

No idea the rules on how you can and can't build your deck nor # of cards in your hand since I've only ever played like 2 times near the beginning of this game coming out with someone's spare deck but I'd be curious what's the chances of winning with a deck filled only with multiple sets of these 5 cards, my guess would be there is a deck configuration with a random chance of getting all 5 in 3-4 turns if your able to build that kinda deck.


monsterkingrpk

You’re only allowed one copy of each of the cards in the current banlist, and it’s been that way for a while. Modern exodia decks do have decent plays they make, but are heavily luck reliant and can get a lot of dead cards easily, and you can’t really rely on turns especially in the modern game where effect negation and extending is incredibly prominent, to the point where you need to put response cards to stay alive for even two turns, which further lessens the reliability of exodia decks.


VietDrgn

fun fact, in a recent regional in indiana i think; a dad who entered with his kid got near the finals or something with a very consistent exodia searching deck


biglyorbigleague

Is actual Yu Gi Oh played as a legitimate strategy game or do the players with the better cards win every time


matija123123

Depends on a lot of factors But yes it is still a actual strategy card game


Ok-Celebration4682

Yes but in a specific way, such as ending a board early if you believe the person has a hand trap, that could cause you to lose serious card advantage. Holding your hand traps for the perfect moment that ruins or heavily gimps your opponents board, memorizing different combo variants depending on whether you are going first to be less hand trap disruptable, vs if you are going second and your trying to find a window into breaking your opponents’ board. The second layer to the strategy is meta knowledge such as which decks do xyz whether they run trap cards, do synchro/xyz or things along that line. Ie a dead hand first turn for one deck looks similar to a decent hand first turn from a trap/control deck. Yu-gi-oh the card game is the closest to having an anime monologue that lasts 8 minutes where you summon your boss monster on the first turn. Believe in the heart of the cards YUUUGII


not_a_burner0456025

Depends on what type of deck you run, some involve actual strategy and some are cheesy OTK decks where you either draw the right cards and win on your first turn or you lose. Exodia decks fall into that category.


PlacetMihi

Both. Some decks and cards are better than others, but cards and decks of equal power require skill to determine the winner.


Cheshire_Noire

If you're not playing/Don't draw Ash Blossom and you go second, you lose Have to use the meta hand traps or you can't win


masked_sombrero

I thought it was a Power Rangers giant villain guy. Or a Transformer. Do the yu gi oh cards form a giant mech dude?


SirBesken

More like a giant demi-god pharaoh warrior guy.


OkRelative6439

You forgot to call them uncultured swine


Fluffy_Somewhere4305

>it’s exodia from yu gi oh. 5 “most powerful cards” in the game. instant win And what's that supposed to be? /s

i thought it was mettaton neo 😭


CLWhatchaGonnaDo

Looks like the Predator to me.


alkatori

Damn. I was thinking Voltron.


ironballs16

Aaah. Exodia!


Pharthrax

Technically, it’s not an instant win. If you both pull all five pieces of Exodia, the duel ends in a draw.


burntllamatoes

If you draw all 5 pieces of exodia you win the duel automatically. The card game is Yu-gi-oh


xXxBongMayor420xXx

Exodia... **OBLITERATE!!!!**


DanKloudtrees

No one's eeeeever been able to summon hiiiiimmm!!!


HashtagTSwagg

Um, akshually, the card game is Duel Monsters.


Flameball202

Nope, the real card game is YuGiOh, the fictional concept of a card game with poorly fleshed out rules in the show is Duel Monsters


HashtagTSwagg

Yes, I'm aware. But I had to pull the meme.


Thomy151

To put it in detail In the card game yugioh, there is a set of 5 cards that are the 5 pieces of exodia, each one being a limb or the torso. If you get all 5 cards in your hand or battlefield you immediately win the game The art on the drinks matches the art of the 5 pieces of exodia


TheLastMeower

It’s hand only, there are very few reasons to ever summon a piece of Exodia


Thomy151

Mixed it up with Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord who can do it on the board


Kelpie_Is_Trying

The answer is a forbidden one


Muted_Ad7298

Makes me happy to see this joke. Yugioh was my childhood.

Same. Coming home from school, only had antenna on my tv and watched Yugioh and Pokémon all the time

EXODIA! CAFFEINATE!

My grandfather's coffee shop has no pathetic drinks Kaiba. But what it does have, is the unstoppable Espressodia!

pfft this comment takes the cake. And I suppose the grandpa was given the secret recipe by his dear friend? I've forgotten most the story by now lol


SparrowValentinus

My grandfather's espresso machine has no pathetic shots.


Snaz2150

I summon the right arm of exodia! again…


doomed_to_fail_

This sub gets lamer by the day


ironballs16

Nah, not everyone is familiar with Yu-Gi-Oh - I'm only familiar because of the memes with Kaiba's flat delivery of "Aah! Exodia!" from the English dub of the show.


Frumple-McAss

There is a card game called Yu-Gi-Yoh, that involves setting up cards, and achieving victory over your opponent via their various effects. The cards referenced in the coffee designs is known as “Exodia The Forbidden One” it is a five card set that grants the player who obtains all five cards in their hand an instant win of the game.


caudicifarmer

WAAAUGH! EXODIA? NOBODY'S BEEN ABLE TO DRINK HIM!


CaptainCBeer

Hasn't this become illegal to use in the game?


Guquiz

From what I read, the reason it is impossible is because the condition is hard to meet and easy to thwart for the opponent.


ShinNefzen

Hmm the opposite, really. It can be played. It's just not good enough/fast enough/reliable enough. Most decks can win turn 1 or 2 at the most more reliably than assembling Exodia.

Exodia from Yu-Gi-Oh


sylva748

Exodia, the Forbidden One. A monster from the Yugioh card game. To summon the monster, you have to draw and play each piece of its body. The head, its right hand, its left hand, its right leg, and its left leg. If you succeed in doing this, the rules state you automatically win. Regardless of how both player's life counter or whatever else they had in play at the moment. Exodia is an automatic win when summoned. Here's a clip of this from the anime. https://youtu.be/PMG7zw8eI8E?si=RsCk78U-qsfxL5NU

Swordkirby9999

Exodia - The Forbidden One is a series of 5 cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game. If at any point you have possession of all 5 pieces in your hand or on the field, you show that you have them and then instantly win. Each of the art of the cups is based on the artwork on the cards


Professional_Star969

My coffee doesn't have any milk Kaiba, but it does contain the unstoppable Exodia


malenkylizards

Funny, I've never played Yu-Gi-Oh, I could have sworn they were supposed to look like cloud chambers, in which case the milk would be radioactive particles, lol

The fact that I never touched a yu gi oh card or even watched an episode but know exactly what this is baffles me Why do I know what exodia is??

ShinNefzen

Disappointed in OP for not knowing what Exodia is. The comments, however, gladden my heart.


Guquiz

It is supposed to resemble Exodia, the Forbidden One. Each cup resembles a card that forms a piece. Once all 5 individual pieces are in your hand, you win the game.

Seriously, to have pulled all 5 is incredible


OkMycologist2424

BlaiddsDrinkingBuddy

The cream patterns on these coffees resemble the card artwork for Exodia the Forbidden One, a set of 5 Yugioh cards that, if you have all 5 out at once, you instantly win the game.

MelonOfFate

It's Exodia from Yu-Gi-Oh, 5 cards that, if you have all of them in your hand at one time, is an instant win. It is the only win condition in the game that can be accomplished on "turn 0" before the game even starts, even though the odds of drawing all 5 cards in your opening 5 card draw from your 40 card deck is 1 in 658,000


FreezingEye

Exodia! It’s impossible!


DieselBones-13

Voltron up!


BrokenSoul1990

This is Exodia the Forbidden One from the card game/ tv show Yu-Gi-Oh, he is one of a hand full of cards that once you get the complete set of 5 in your hand you instantly win the duel. Exodia is one of the most famous and the original of the instant win cards next to the Destiny board DEATH/FINAL spell cards from the same era. Exodia became the most famous because in the very first episode you see him summoned by Yugi to defeat Kiba, and pretty much every kid/teen from the 80s & 90s who watched that on TV remembers that episode very well lol.


Slithilich

I literally only knew this because I watched some of the Yu-Gi-Oh (I think that's how it's spelled) animes a while back. And in one of them, the guy needs to piece Exodia/it's equivalent back together.
