my question is this can Evolzar Dolkka negate Exodia?

This created a long argument between me and my mates on one end of the argument they say when you draw the last peace of Exodia then Exodia's effect activates and as a result Dolkka can negate it. on the other hand me and others think that collecting all five peaces is a win condition so can't be chained to so can't be negated which side is wrong

No, it does not negate exodia.

um your friends are wrong exodia is not an effect yes it is a win condition and as soon as u get the 5th piece of exodia your opponent cannot do anything to stop it

There is absolutely no card atm that can negate exodia, unless u cripple opp hand before he/she gets the last piece

Indeed. Though I wonder if Exodia can ever be consistent. Like I run Piper \exodia, and I win most of my matches with it, but hmm.

piper exodia hmm thats an interesting deck... i run D-Hero Exodia and i win most of the times so like 70-80% of the times

Thanks for the reply's I just got confirmation that my ruling was the correct one from an email from yugioh@kon​ami-europe.​net stating what all of you said which is Exodia ain't an effect. It is a win condition and as a result it can nether be negated I have also sent a ruling request on other cards that when resolved are a win condition such as Final Countdown and Destiny Board

That means u don't trust us D:
For me, exodia is the worst deck ever, i mean u just stare at the opp for like half an hour drawing n discarding cards, n then he says gg. Bad deck is bad

koolkid is still stuck in the world where all decks that dont attack are bad *sigh* anyway its like they say in Fast and Furious: 'It doesnt matter if u win by a mile or by a millimeter, what matters is that u win' :3

Some exodia decks are about drawing the entire deck in 1 turn.
The most succesful one is probably Dragon-Exodia.

But it would never top so long as:
-People run DWs and KGs.
-Decks have a comfortable access to Shock Master.
-Players with heavy-backrow decks are smart enough to set their cards, so they will have less than 2 cards in their hand. (To hinder Card Descturtion plays).

I agree with Koolkid, i mean, there is nothing fun sitting there staring while your opponent has the first move, and he plows through his whole deck, with nothing you can do about it.

I don't know about everyone else, but i play the game only to have fun, and i can't say that if i face off against an exodia deck.

Then sweetly avenge him in the 2nd and the 3rd game, with Decree or Soul Drain.

Awfully incorrect!

This win condition is met properly, only after the chain it happened in resolves.

Example 1:

I activate Spiritual Water Art. Opponent chains ar of greed.
Jar of greed resolves first, opponent draws the last piece of Exodia. He cannot declare that he has the 5 pieces yet. He has to wait for the chain to fully resolve.

Spiritual Water Art kicks in. I get to see his hand and send one of his cards to the graveyard. I send one of the pieces.

Opponent didn't win.

---

Example 2:

I have 3 pieces of Exodia and Graceful Charity in my hand, and 3 cards in the deck.
I activate Graceful Charity and draw 2 Pieces + Dark Factory of Mass Production.
Altough I have all the 5 pieces, I have to discard 2 cards first. I send both arms to the graveyard.
I say: "Dum dum-Duuuuuuuuuuuum!" and activate Dark Factorty of Mass Production.
Opponent says: "FU" and activates Dark Bribe.
I say: "FML" and RQ.

---

Example 3:
I have 5 cards left in the deck. It's the last piece. I activate Super Rejuvenation. (I discarded 6 dragons this turn). Although I draw the last piece, I cannot declare victory before fully resolving this card's effect. I draw the 6th card and lose.

Example 666 (Utterly evil):

I have 2 cards left in the deck. The last piece is there. I activate White Elephant's Gift and send my face up Vanilla Monster to the grave. (Victory is fuckin' mine, biatch!) Opponent chains Hand Destruction. I send 2 cards to the graveyard and then draw 2. Then I have to draw 2 cards, due to White Elepehan'ts Gift. Guess what. Time to RQ again!
