ZillaSmasher Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Considering Blue-Eyes White Dragon is my favorite Yugioh card and she recently got new support, I thought I might try making my own Blue-Eyes and With Eyes of Blue support, along with remaking a couple old cards such as Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon and Dragon Master Knight.

leafbladie Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I love Blue-Eyes too, so I'd love to give some critique to these: The Sage's Storm DragonThe targeting is actually pretty good, you could use it on Maiden to add a Blue-Eyes to the field. However, its attack should be at most 2500. Hatchling with Eyes of BlueThis card is great, you can return a Sage you used back to the hand, then Special Summon a Maiden, and then use Sage's effect again, good stuff, and helps promote combos. Blue-Eyes Luminous DragonI feel like this is meant to be a more usable Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, and unfortunately like Shining Dragon I don't think this card is worth it. Tributing a Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon removes your floodgate against Pendulums and Kozmos. I think with some work this card could be made better, but as is I just dont think it's worth it. Maybe if you could tribute an Azure-Eyes monster too, as Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon may need to tag out if its targeted, and Azure can really just be tributed after your standby phase, as it's likely not living another turn. Blue-Eyes Luster SoldierLove that you're incorporating Luster Solider into this Blue-Eyes archetype. I was honestly hoping Konami would do this eventully. That said as a Ritual it's inherently bricky, though I like that you can use it with Pre-Prep, and its effect is pretty good. However, I think you should be able to fuse it with any Blue-Eyes monster on the field Blue-Eyes White Statue & Blue-Eyes White SculptureThey're pendulums, so no. It goes against the Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon which is integral to the deck. Hoard of the Dragons with Eyes of BlueNice, Blue-Eyes needs all the Draw power it can get, so another Trade-In is something I love. I like its secondary effect too once it hits the Grave. Rise of the Ultimate DragonI love that you madr it so this card is stronger while you control no monsters, it really fits in well with the effect of Neo Ultimate. Giving it a floating effect is great too, and piercing daage is just icing on the cake. Endurance of the Eyes of BlueHonestly I think this card should be more similar to Authority of the Eyes of Blue. Send 1 Blue-Eyes Monster from your hand or Deck to the graveyard, Blue-Eyes and Eyes of Blue monsters cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn. Blue-Eyes unfortunately don't have much protection outside of Gospel, so this could actually be useful. Talisman with Eyes of BlueYes, a good equip for Maiden, thank you. I wish Konami would make something like this. Equip cards are one of the easiest ways to target your Maidens. Blue-Eyes InductionThis is quite similar to Red-Eyes Transmigration, so I think you should add an effect that allows it to banish Blue-Eyes monster from your graveyard too Dragon Master with Eyes of BlueFloating effect is great. However, I think this should just be a maximum beat down card. It gains atk for each dragon monster in your graveyard and on the field. Honestly making stronger monsters have generic support effects seems a bit of a waste, as these should be the effects of weaker monsters you can summon easier. Kisara, the Blue-Eyed LuminaryLove it, great alternative to Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, that promotes the Blue-Eyes engine. Also great because we're getting Mahad the Protector Priest. Azure-Eyes Spirit DragonI think the changing this card to attack makes it a bit too strong. The reason Spirit Dragon summons them in defense is so that during the battle phase you can't beat down your opponent by summoning a strong monster. Blue-Eyes White Lightning DragonGood generic support. Targeting is great, and making your weaker Eyes of Blue monsters stronger is good. The destruction effect is actually pretty cool though.

ZillaSmasher Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Thanks for the review!

leafbladie Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Those look like better options. Good changes. I'd definitely like to see cards like these for new Blue-Eyes support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggaholic Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Now, I won't claim to be a Blue-Eyes master or anything, but I feel like I can give you a few pointers as far as cards go when I'm critiquing your work. Sorry for making you wait so long, but I've been busy. - - - - - The Sage's Storm Dragon: The first effect is kind of pointless given it only makes a monster you're going to trash anyways equal to its common counterparts. But it's fine, since it's supposed to synergize with Sage, which it does well enough. Funnily enough, its effect synergizes well with itself, which is always nice. Though, what's unfortunate is that none of the "with Eyes of Blue" cards have a special effect for when they're Special Summoned, to my knowledge, which kind of makes that effect less than stellar. Why would I want to lose a possible 3000 beater for something that probably won't have more than 1000 ATK? And worse, the effect is targeting. If it was non-targeting, or better yet, a Quick Effect, then you'd have a viable card for the archetype. Other wise, why would I use this over Spirit? Just a thought. Overall- It has potential, but most of it's wasted on poor synergy and a lackluster effect. 2/5 HatchlingWEOB: A Foolish Burial effect? That synergizes great with Priest? Wunderbar. That alone makes this a semi-valuable card, supposing anyone actually runs Priest. However, I'd make its second effect make it so it cannot target itself so you don't end up having an infinite loop of Summon, return, Summon, return. Also, why not change that effect to one that activates when it's sent to the Graveyard by a Monster/Card effect? That way, you could, per say, Special Summon 1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your hand or Deck if "Hatchling with Eyes of Blue" is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect. Just food for thought. Overall- Again, it has potential, but it's wasted on idiotic synergy with a sub-archetype that's only point for existing is making the Blue/Azure-Eyes Synchro monsters in the first place, when it could help synergize the main deck to ACTUALLY get the monsters you want on the field on the field. 3/5 BE Luminous Dragon: Eugh. No. I'm sorry, but the stupidity in that it gains ATK from the Level 1s is high. Why would I want to trash some of my best cards for this thing? A pointless beater that only exists to stop existing, and worse, for a short amount of time. Sure, it has a Chaos MAX effect which could make it a problem late game, but if you've already gotten a Fusion Monster out late game, what's the point in making this card? Its summon will most likely get negated anyways. And why does it return the banished card? Wouldn't it be better for it to have a Stardust-esq effect where it banishes itself temporarily, but gets rid of the opposing card forever? Why would I ever want this if its only GOOD effect is ruined by the fact it brings back the monster banished? It's pointless! Overall- Once again, squandered potential since you, for whatever reason, figure that losing one of the pieces of Blue-Eyes that make the deck good isn't a high enough cost for a card that I (personally) wouldn't side in at more than 1. 1.5/5 BE Luster Soldier + Ritual Spell: Hhhuh. Clearly it's supposed to make Dragon Master Knight, or whatever it is, but to be honest BE has a hard enough time trying to focus on ONE Ritual (which is many, many times more powerful than this oddity. Honestly, this has very little place in the archetype, and has no synergy with the deck besides making Dragon Master Knight, or your rendition of it. The only good thing to come out of this duo is the Spell Card. Honestly, if I were a BE player I'd only find some way to ditch the Spell with something like TTwist so I can search one of the other Spell and Traps. However, even then, the Spell isn't worth running since it's inherently slow in the first place. Over all, if the Ritual Spell was generic to ALL BE cards, then it'd might be worth running. At 1. Overall- Unlike the above statements, this card has very little potential whatsoever and it doesn't work well with the archetype in the first place, and it doesn't help that BELS's specific Ritual Spell isn't generic to all BE cards, so you could Chaos MAX with it. 1/5 | | 1.5/5 Pendulum BE's: But why though. Honestly, BE's strayed enough from its original path (first with that Azure-Eyes card and Maiden, and now with the new Synchro and Ritual Card [though Chaos MAX is excusable, since it's still first gen Yu-Gi-Oh! mechanics]) so it really doesn't need these LITERALLY POINTLESS Pendulum Cards that, for whatever reason, don't allow you to Pendulum Summon in the first place! I'm sorry if I seem a little rude here, but doesn't that make the cards inherently pointless and practically dead? After all, though they CAN have field presence, they only can if your opponent's stupid enough to destroy the useless scales in the first place. Sculpture has no use whatsoever unless, God preserve you if you think this is a good idea, you're trying to make the "with Eyes of Blue" archetype an integral part of BE. Or even meta. At least Statue has some point to it: deal damage, pop. Non-targeting, too, which is nice. However, even so, it requires ANOTHER monster to exist on the field, which is just wonderful. (/sarcasm) Also, really? A scale of 0? Might as well just put that card in Experimental. Pretty sure that doesn't exist for a good reason. Overall- Completely pointless and out of place support for an archetype that has no need for meager destruction and protection effects that don't hinder your opponent in any significant way, and have no field presence unless you've already got a set-up board, which would just make these cards overkill, assuming you're dense enough to run them. 0.5/5 Hoard of the DragonsWEOB: Oh thank god a good card, legitimately. A retrain of Trade-In, admittedly, but a damn good one. Not only do you Pot of Greed and fill up the Grave, but you can search more Blue-Eyes? I can't complain. It'd make it easier to Chaos MAX, that's for sure, and who could complain about that? I'd be surprised if this wasn't at least a definite 1 of in any BE deck, as a replacement for Trade-In. Overall- What I've wanted to see from this support from the very start, which is genuinely good cards that have a place in an archetype that's meta, at the moment, but like all archetypes, could always do with a little push. 5/5 Rise of the Ultimate Dragon: At first, I was a bit iffy on the whole "Summon from the Deck" clause, but given you can't summon anything else the turn you use this card, It's fair enough. If that wasn't the case, you might've been in a rut since sending from the deck was part of the reason Shaddolls got in trouble. Anyways, as for the card itself, it exists as what I believe to be a way to create a meta deck out of Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, given that said card can send multiple copies of itself to the grave to protect itself from being screwed over by your opponent. However, I'd recommend just dropping the 'Neutron Blast' search, since I doubt many people would run it, and if they did, it'd be a bit cheeky to just search it. But perhaps it wouldn't. We won't know until we know, right? Overall- Another good Spell from you, and since it's a way to make NBEUD meta, I think its ability to send from the deck makes it a decent-ly fair card. 4/5 Endurance of TEOB: Yay protection cards. Not like it's all that useful, anyways, since Chaos MAX has this ability built in, but I guess if you really need to you could always slap this down one turn and hope for the best, assuming you don't have Chaos MAX out, or can't get them out. It's pack filler, in my eyes, but I suppose if your Sage gets destroyed you could always just summon a Blue-Eyes in its place. Overall- Eh, it's underwhelming, but it's pack-filler, so I'm not sure what I expected. (At least it has a protection effect for after its use, which is a very nice added bonus.) 3/5 TalismanWEOB: All of its effects are useless besides the ones that help your big BE's. With almost everything and its mother having piercing, protecting your Level 1s is pointless, and if it leaves the field, why would you want to put more monsters out in your opponent's way to blow through and deal you doubled piercing damage? At least it gives the less impressive BEs some protection and a decent enough boost, putting them far above things like Dank Destroyer. Other than that, pack filler. Overall- Again, underwhelming, but since it's pack-filler, it's what's to be expected. 2.5/5 Dragon MasterWEOB: Not worth summoning, in my humble opinion. You'd have to build a deck around this specific card, and given what it does (BEAT STICK BEAT STICK BEAT STICK) it's not worth it. I mean, it does what it does and it does it VERY well (BEAT STICK BEAT STICK BEAT STICK), but it's an anime-status boss monster: high, intimidating stats, but no inherent protection to back it up. So, ultimately, pointless. But at least it floats! Yay, floaty boss monsters that give you other, BETTER boss monsters! (i.e. BE Twin-Burst Dragon, or whatever the two-headed dragon everyone and their mother was waiting for.) Overall- Man, after that Trade-In retrain, it's all gone downhill, huh? (BEAT STICK BEAT STICK BEAT-- yeah, I'll stop. But seriously, that's all this thing is, which is sad, given all the material you had to give up to make it.) 2/5 Kisara, the BE'd Luminary: FINALLY, an OP card! And yes, I say OP since, if you make this (and believe me, it's easy to make something like this first or second turn for BE) you essentially win the game. Because getting out the OG BE isn't a problem, and the new BE synchro monster is one of BE's many win conditions, you don't ever have to really worry about the whole 'Oh, and by the way, no attacking kiddie!~'. Honestly, what was that restriction supposed to be? A slap on the wrist? And not only that, but you gave us an OUT to it? Well then, might as well just HAND me the victory! I summon this, you scoop! Why? Because not only does it summon any and everything good in the deck, but for its materials, it's essentially a Towers or Ultimate Falcon. Not cool, man. My suggestion? Remove the 'ignoring summoning conditions' clause, because that gives you too much access to too much stuff. Just summoning Spirit Dragon's enough to win some games, and since this thing floats (WHYYYYY) and has an Ultimate Falcon/Towers-esq effect, you essentially can't touch this beast anyways. Also, can we talk about your love for floating? Why do you have to dry-hump that game mechanic into the sun? YZ did it first, so leave it be! We do NOT need YZ BEs running around, willy nilly, dropping Azure-Eyes' and Spirit Dragons everywhere. Honestly, ditch that too. Overall- Overpowered, plain and simple. 3.5/5 AE Spirit Dragon: Question: does this things effects stack? Because, if so, that's possibly four cards gone just because you created a thing. Granted, that's only if, for some reason, you sacrificed Spirit Dragon for this card, but still. That's too much. Try and find a way to not make the effects stack, or just choose to have it be that, if it was summoned using Spirit Dragon, you can destroy Spell/Traps and/or Monsters. Not 2 of both. Also, why the random protection effect that's ONLY active during the EP? Hummanawhat? Overall- Confusing, and generic (kind of) for whatever reason. 3.5/5 BE White Lightning Dragon: Combining this with NBEUD is OP since you have the potential to deal 13500 damage in one turn's Battle Phase [(4500 + (1/2)4500)](2) = 13500. Which is wow. I doubt you'd be able to do that in a NBEUD deck, but who knows. Maybe BEUWL OTK will be meta? (Blue-Eyes Ultimate White Lightning One Turn Kill). It's doubtful, but I bet you hope it would be. Its last two effects are pretty standard, and since they aren't ignoring summoning conditions, or destroying more cards than necessary, they're fine as-is. Overall- Simple and effective, as Blue-Eyes was always meant to be. Good on ya, mate. 3/5 - - - - - Overall, this entire support set was a jumbled mess of this and that, that ultimately doesn't do much as a whole for a now-meta archetype. Albeit I'm pretty sure only Chaos MAX turbo is meta, but I might be wrong. Anyways, like I said, only a few cards here actually do anything for BE in any significant way, and those that do, I admit, do it well. But too much of the support was trashy or pointless for me to give you an honestly good score. Most of it needs to be retrained to solely focus on BE itself, and not WEOB, and the rest of it either needs to go, or be toned down a notch (*COUGH* kisara *COUGH*). In general, a very lack-luster set. 2.5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, a very lack-luster set. 2.5/5This was a really good review, byt there were some small issues I had with this review: Hatchling is actually very useful with sage, as you can use Sage's effect, then normal summon this to return sage to the hand, then use sage's effect from the hand, which is its better effect honestly imo. Also, Sage is supre relevant in blue-eyes decks, so it does have some potential. (if you're wondering why two normal summons in one turn, well Mausoleum of Light is a card) Talisman is useful because it targets Maiden because it's an equip spell, so you can get out a blue-eyes, and it's a much better alternative to Wonder Wand. So here's the play-by-play. Equip it to Maiden, summon blue-eyes, synchro them together, then put another tuner on the field thanks to Talisman's effect, synchro summon Kisara or Crystal Wing Sycnhro Dragon. For AE Spirit Dragon, that End Phase destruction prevention, is so that it isn't destroyed by Spirit Dragon's effect. Also, the effects can't stack, as Special Summoning it by Spirit Dragon's effect means it's Special Summoned, not Synchro Summoned Also, just a tidbit, Chaos Maxx Turbo actually isn't that extremely meta relevant. Standard Blue-Eyes decks, that have a mix of Rank 8's and Synchro monsters are what's more in honestly. Spirit Dragon isn't really a win condition, it's just an alternate option, though for anti-meta blue-eyes support it is a gift from the Gods. Edit:Also, while not super relevant, Pre-Prep is a card, so it'd actually be a lot easier to get out Blue-Eyes Luster Soldier than Chaos Maxx Dragon, and since it can summon Luster from the Graveyard it's useful in that you can use trade-in on your ritual but still summon it from the grave.

As I said, I'm not exactly a BE expert. I just know how the important cards work (generally). Still, for AE, it should just be a GENERAL protection effect, as EP is too specific. It'll just get Raigeki'd and then you'd have wasted your regular Spirit Dragon for nothing. Also, Talisman won't make Maiden a thing again. I've heard from down the grapevine that BE decks have pretty much dropped, or made Maiden a side since Sage does what she does, but better. (Since he's inherently faster given he's a hand trap.) I never said Hatchling wasn't useful, just that it had potential that was squandered by not helping BE become faster. And IMO, against quite a few decks, Spirit Dragon is a win condition, as it's a pseudo-floodgate card that stops Graveyard and SS abuse. Or, rather, squanders it.

Also, yes, Maiden is a side or completely dropped unfortunately, I was just suggesting this could be a way to make her more relevant. Fair point about Hatchling, Blue-Eyes could stand to go a bit faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
