Core Combos and Interactions

Boss Monsters

	The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate
	The main boss monster of the entire Deck is The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate, which is easily brought out with the help of Millennium Ankh. This monster cannot be destroyed by the opponent's card effects, and it has a Quick Effect that can negate Spell/Trap Card activations. When it battles, it gains ATK equal to the playter's LP, and can set an "Exxod" Trap Card, which is usually Exxod Fires of Rage.
	The Legendary Exodia Incarnate
	The Legendary Exodia Incarnate is the boss monster that allows this Deck to pivot into the Exodia win condition, trying to get all 5 pieces on hand. It might need a "Forbidden One" as tribute to summon this card, but it enjoys full card effect immunity, and can recycle any "Forbidden One" card from the GY once per turn.
	Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis
	For additional control, Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis is a great counter against most boss monsters the opponent could control. While this monster is on the field, any monster from both players canno activate effects from monsters with 3000 or more ATK. It can then spin back a monster from the field back to its respective Deck.
	Accesscode Talker
	If all else fails, the players can still Link Climb into Accesscode Talker with its abiltiy to pop cards on the field without fear of response. If it uses a Link Monsters as material, this boss monsters can gain ATK based on the number of Link Markers on said card.

Best Decks to Use Against Millennium

Kashtira

Kashtira can be quite a menace against Millennium, especially if the Deck manages to go first. A full combo froom this Deck can result in Kashtira locking away a couple of Card Zones, as well as multiple Kashtira monsters on the field ready to use their effect and punish any attempt to play the game.

Keep an eye out especially for Kashtira Arise-Heart and Kashtira Shangri-Ira.

White Forest Azamina

White Forest Azamina is currently at full power, and with a proper combo this Deck can set up so many negates, the game can be over even before the opponent can even set up. It can even play through the interruptions, like its boss monster negates or the field clear from Exxod Fires of Rage.

Tenpai Dragon

While this Deck has been repeatedly hit in the banlist, Tenpai Dragon can still turn games around with the Battle Phase. Their key monster is Tenpai Dragon Paidra and Tenpai Dragon, which prevents FIRE from receiving battle damage or be destroyed by battle.

Yubel

Still a very powerful Deck, Yubel remains unaffacetd by the more recent banlist hit as of February 6, 2025. In fact, it only got stornger thanks in part to the introduction to the Fiendsmith Engine, which also debuted in the Selection Pack this archetype was part of: The Forbidden Liberated.

Best Cards to Tech Against Millennium

	Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju
	The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate is immune to card destruction, and has Quick Effect negate. The easiest way to safely play is to get rid of it as soon as possible, and one of the quickest ways is to Kaiju it away. Usually, this means players making use of Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju for having the lowest ATK in the entire archetype.
	Infinite Impermanence
	Infinite Impermanence is a great way to pressure the opponent should they have The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate out. Targetting this card would mean they give up the boss monster, or make use of the Spell/Trap negate and be vulnerable to subsequent effects.
	Super Polymerization
	Even the Spell/Trap negate can deal with the effect of Super Polymerization, and it just so happens that both the DARK Affinity and the Spellcaster monster type are quite heavily supported for Fusion monster material requirements.
	Forbidden Droplet
	Forbidden Droplet is another negate that can mess up Millennium monsters on the field, especially The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate. With the right discard as cost, the opponent cannot do anything in response to negating those monsters' effects.
