'''Exodia''' is a series of cards first released in [[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]] and were the first ever cards to permit an automatic win other than to reduce your opponent's lifepoints to 0. The main card, Exodia the Forbidden One (Often called Exodia's Head) is also one of the first ever 5 effect monsters to be released. They are perhaps some of the most iconic cards of the series, being well known for their Automatic Win effect and how, in the anime, Yugi was the first ever person to summon Exodia (and in the first episode).
While the original set of Exodia was extremely hard to obtain (all five pieces were Ultra Rare), they have since been reprinted in lesser rarities, with a common practice to only print the head of Exodia as an ultra rare and the remaining limbs as commons, making the set much easier to obtain. While the Exodia deck was perhaps one of the first decktypes, it still remains a popular one, being supported through several new cards (specifically, new draw engines and draw loops).
While Exodia's primary purpose is to declare an automatic win through having all five pieces, there have been other methods to using Exodia. The first of these was Exodia Necross, which is considered to be a zombie version of Exodia, and possessing near-invulnerability of the Anime Exodia (in the anime, it is said that Exodia, once summoned, is unstoppable). The next such incarnation was Exodius the Forbidden Lord, which provided an alternate method of winning with Exodia.
