Exodia is OP. I think my list is pretty good, but even with a very suboptimal build, you can still climb to Master 1 with it.

Very solid deck for climbing the ladder.

Cut Ash/Imperm/Veiler as they simply aren't impactful enough. FS has made decks far too resilient to interruptions.
Ran Retaliating C, which was solid but ended up cutting it because of the anti-synergy with Ankh. It's definitely an option though, you never have enough GY hate in this meta.
Going second is usually about drawing into HTs / Super poly. If you don't, it's probably better to go next. If your opponent ends on a manageable board, use your extra deck to bait out the interruptions / break backrow so you can setup Unstoppable Exodia.
Azurune is crucial to play around S:P, which is your worst enemy.

This deck is pure love and passion. There is no "right", "wrong" or "perfect" way to build it - it is very likely to end up making small card adjustments quite often, just as I have. Most of Master 2 I played with this exact build. At 41 cards, I could have easily removed a floodgate to make it 40 (not that it is a striking difference). At the same time, many prefer to go way over that number out of fear of bricking, which is a valid argument and, again, nothing "wrong" about that. There are plenty of cards, like "The Melody of Awakening Dragon" (which I did use during M3, dropping it later), "Lava Golem", or even more floodgates to achieve that. It has to be noted that this build is heavily build with going first in mind. I did not summon some of the extra deck monsters at all. In fact, super poly saw very little use in my climb. Rabbit/azurune are quite big in this deck.

A mixture of bad hands, games justifying some floodgate, games for ash bait, some disciplined Exxod fires, and a mirror match that got me to M1.

This deck exceeded all of my expectations and went on many winstreaks, the longest one being 9. It's all about "trigger discipline" Exodia, Fires of Rage and Blue Eyes are VERY strong interactions but you need to know exactly when to use them and get value out of them.

The fact that you can run cards like D Shifter, Retaliating "C" and Lava Golem without any kind of significant detriment to this strategy is what makes it a strong anti-meta option imo. I think it's a very good deck for people new to the game, that want something nostalgic or even a very decent rogue/anti-meta option

This deck is surprisingly strong in the current meta!

I played something like this to reach M1 this month. I played Fiendsmith Tenpai and Snake-eyes to reach M3. I felt like both decks were not so fun to play then I switched to this deck. I think my win rate surprisingly increased a lot after switching.

No need to play Ash / called-by in this deck which is very nice. We have more space to put in board breakers and floodgates.

The gameplay is also simple and friendly to beginners:

Going first: Play the exodia combo and set floodgates
Going second: Break board with lava golem or super-poly
Mirror match: set up Heart of the Blue-eyes.

I tried 51-card and 46-card decks before, but in the end, I used a 41-card deck, which recorded the highest win rate.

I think a more compact build is better for drawing Continuous Spell and Trap cards.

I put some floodgate (dimension, cosmos, There can only be one) to against Meta. There is actually many one card starters in the deck so I only put 1 Wedju Temple and Golem. For bourd breaker, I put superpoly but Lava Golem is also great choice as there is no normal summon. Since this deck need 5 bricks(The forbiden one), I recommend to make deck size around 45~50 to decrease the chance of draw bricks.

Simple and quick deck that doesn't waste your time. Good amount of starters for a respectable board without many summons. Too bad you need 5 bricks that if discarded/milled/banished will turn off Ankh.

Didn't want to use shifter/cosmos but the fiendsmith and azamina cards are way too broken.

Deck is super easy to play and very fast. \nReached Master 1 with a record of 41 wins 19 losses (26 coin flip wins, 34 coin losses).

Some general tips/thoughts:

shifter/dimensional fissure basically wins games on their own against any of the fiendsmith decks right now. Also does great against snake eyes. TCBOO shuts down yubel, pyros, fiends as well.
It's really all about timing the [Exxod Fires of Rage]. Don't get baited into triggering it too early, but also don't hesitate to trigger it on their first normal summon in some cases (e.g. Tenpai)
A lot of people don't seem to know that Exodia has destruction protection? I've won so many games b/c ppl kept trying to pop it for some reason
[Obliterate!! Blaze] is not once per turn. If you're against a bunch of monster negates (apollusa), you can literally spam activate it until they run out of negates. It does require there to be at least 1 spell in the spell/trap zone to activate though. I made that mistake once.
Discard your [Heart of Blue-Eyes] before you activate dimesional fissure. Also blue-eyes is once per Duel, not once per turn.
"Angel Statue - Azurune" only negates inherent summons (summons that don't resolve as part of a chain). Sometimes if you're under Maxx C, it's better to just play Anhk for one summon rather than go through 3 summons to get to rabbit and set Azurune. Sometimes I'll skip the azurune play even if I'd only be giving them 1 draw b/c I've found the trap to be very situational and doesn't work against a lot of matchups

For the ED, aside from the super poly targets, basically only used Rabbit. I think underworld goddess came up once but I still lost that one.
