Prologue

When it comes to Yu-Gi-Oh, few cards are more than iconic than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Released in the early 2000s, Blueish-Eyes White Dragon and its classic are among the nearly dearest cards in the game. It'southward also ane of the almost supported archetypes over the years.

Back in 2016, Blue-Optics was i of the strongest decks of the meta. It took 1st and 2nd identify at that yr'southward World Championships making it the strongest deck of that consequence. This was due to the articulation TCG and OCG Ban List which left the archetype basically untouched. At the fourth dimension, Blue-Optics was a strong deck due to its ability to pressure the lath. The deck was great at consistently dropping big Dragons thanks to cards similar Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon and Render of the Dragon Lords. This gave the deck a lot of firepower letting them finish games in an instant.

In the mod meta, having just firepower isn't all that impressive. While the deck continues to receive back up, it likewise has failed to return to the meta. Only, that might change with the new support from Battles of Anarchy. In Battles of Anarchy, Blueish-Optics receives 5 new cards that all look to be pretty proficient. Will information technology awaken Blue-Eyes from its 5 year slumber? Or is information technology just Kaiba'southward newest venture? Let'southward observe out!

New Cards

Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon

Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon is a new Blue-Eyes monster with 3 furnishings.

Jet's 1st event activates if a carte du jour(southward) on the field is destroyed by boxing or card effect and lets you special summon it from the hand or GY. This effect is nifty over the course of a long game since you'll exist able to become a lot of value out of it. Since Bluish-Eyes is great at destroying stuff, you'll have no problem triggering this time and time again. Normally, these type of effects come with a clause where the monster will be banished if it leaves the field. But, fortunately for the states, information technology seems like Kaiba paid off the creators to skip that part for an infinitely recurring Dragon.

Jet's 2nd outcome is a continuous effect which protects your other cards from destruction by your opponent's card effects. This is great against cards with mass destruction like Lightning Storm, Twin Twisters, and Raigeki. Merely note that this doesn't protect your cards from your ain effects.

And lastly, Jet's third upshot lets you lot bounciness a card at the offset of Harm Step if it battles. This event is expert since it has both offensive and defensive uses. If attacking, Jet is not bad at chipping away at your opponent's lath. If defending, Jet is a good carte to sit on since your opponent may not desire to assault information technology. Either way, this effect tin be used to bounce cards like problematic floodgates or Extra Deck monsters.

Overall, Jet is a keen card that I'd recommend for whatever Blue-Eyes deck. It helps you push, protect, and even grind in longer games. Just make certain you have Blueish-Eyes White Dragon on your field or in your GY and so y'all can activate Jet'southward effects.

The Tyrant of D.

The Tyrant of D. is a new Blue-Eyes support card that is similar to Magicians' Souls.

D.'s 1st outcome sends a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from your hand or deck to the GY to special summon itself. This consequence is nifty for setting upward Truthful Low-cal, Jet, Abyss, and a new Blue-Eyes fusion spell that we'll talk more most later. Naturally, this also makes D. an extender, although it might not be great ane since it's a Nighttime Spellcaster (which doesn't synergize too well with Blue-Eyes).

D.'s 2nd upshot lets you lot discard a card that lists Blue-Eyes White Dragon in its text to special summon a Bluish-Optics monster from your GY. This effect is great for reviving any of your Blue-Eyes monsters including Fusions and Synchros if applicable. You can also employ this effect to discard and revive Jet and Abyss Dragon since D.'s 1st effect will provide a Blueish-Eyes in the GY.

D.'s 3rd and last issue lets you lot choose the set on targets for your opponent's attacks if you control a Blue-Eyes monster. This issue is skilful defensively since it basically prevents your opponent from attacking if they can't beat over Blue-Eyes. Jet also works well here since if your opponent does trounce over Blue-Eyes, Jet tin can revive itself giving you lot another Blue-Optics monster.

Overall, D. is a carte that adds a lot of utility to the archetype. It gives you an easy manner to get Bluish-Optics in the GY and works well with virtually Blue-Eyes monsters. The assail re-management effect as well comes in handy since it lets D. protect itself.

Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon

Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon is Blue-Eyes'due south new fusion monster. Information technology's a combination of Blue-Optics White Dragon and Tyrant Burst Dragon merely you can summon it past fusing Blue-Eyes and only a Dragon monster. Tyrant is a powerful attacking bill of fare wielding 3 offensive effects.

Tyrant'southward 1st effect is a continuous outcome that gives it protection from the effects of trap cards. This makes Tyrant adept confronting trap-heavy decks every bit it'southward a difficult card to deal with. Information technology's as well worth mentioning that this makes Tyrant also unaffected by the drawback of True Light.

Tyrant'southward 2nd consequence is also a continuous effect that permit's it attack all of your opponent's monsters once each. This issue is great for running through boards with a lot of monsters. Since Tyrant has a respectable 3400 ATK, it should take no problem beating over most monsters in the meta.

And lastly, Tyrant'due south third effect activates at the end of Damage Step and lets you set a trap from your GY if it battles. This event is great for recycling any trap but can be even better with Blue-Eyes traps. For example, The Ultimate Brute of Devastation is a keen card to recycle that synergizes well with Tyrant. Another good choices are True Light and Destined Rivals.

Overall, Tyrant is a adept monster to summon when you need to beat over a lot of monsters. It has loftier assault and so it can run over well-nigh things and volition exist pretty safe doing so since information technology'south immune to traps. The just event is summoning it, simply that might change with the next card that we're going to talk virtually.

Ultimate Fusion

Ultimate Fusion is a Quick-Play spell that acts as Miracle Contact for Blue-Eyes but with an additional effect. Similar Miracle Contact, Ultimate Fusion likewise lets you fuse past shuffling monsters from the hand, field, or GY into your deck. But unlike Phenomenon Contact, Ultimate Fusion can also destroy your opponent's cards if the conditions are met.

Ultimate Fusion is a bill of fare that gives Blueish-Optics an like shooting fish in a barrel way to summon their big fusions. Blue-Eyes have always had these huge fusion monsters, only lacked a way to summon them efficiently. With Ultimate Fusion, yous can finally make utilize of that Neo Bluish-Eyes Ultimate Dragon that has been sitting in your Extra Deck since it came out. Ultimate Fusion's boosted effect is also nice since it gives you removal. If you need to get rid of something like a floodgate, you can utilize a Blue-Eyes on the field to become rid of that annoying Summon Limit. In some situations, yous tin can even use Ultimate Fusion on your opponent's turn as a form of disruption.

Overall, Ultimate Fusion is a card that Blue-Eyes has gone as well long without. Just exist careful when using it. Even though it'south a Quick-Play spell, it can simply be used in the Main Phase so you won't be able to slam it down during battle and create that surprise OTK.

Apparition with Eyes of Bluish

Bogeyman with Eyes of Blue is our last new menu and it'southward a continuous spell. It has 2 effects which helps summon Blueish-Optics from your hand and peradventure another monster along with information technology.

Apparition'southward 1st effect lets you reveal a Blueish-Eyes White Dragon in your paw upon activation. If yous do, you tin special summon 1 monster from your hand. Since this effect has no restriction, you tin summon near anything. 1 good option is Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon which has an effect if information technology's special summoned. Some other adept choice is the new Bluish-Eyes Jet Dragon which provides early protection. Since this upshot has no restriction, yous tin can even summon something similar Archlord Kristya with this effect if yous choose to play it (though this would be quite bricky).

Bogeyman'southward second event lets y'all bounciness a monster you control to summon a monster from your paw. If you bounced Blue-Optics White Dragon, you can summon whatever monster from your mitt. If you bounced anything else, yous tin can only summon a Blue-Eyes monster from your manus. This effect synergizes with Apparition'due south 1st issue and is good for getting on the board. You lot can also employ this effect to cycle your normal summons similar Sage with Eyes of Blue.

Apparition is a decent bill of fare but might be misplaced in Blue-Optics. While it does assist y'all institute presence, that wasn't really a problem to begin with. Though you lot tin utilize it to cycle your normal summons, its uses outside of that are questionable or mayhap simply undiscovered. Who knows, possibly this bill of fare can enable some Dragon Link Blue-Eyes combos.

Overall Thoughts

Overall, this wave of Blue-Eyes back up is pretty expert. It gave the archetype more utility, easier setup and a stronger grind game. This new back up is especially practiced since it works with almost every Blue-Eyes variant. Since Blue-Optics is a deck that tin can go many different ways, it'southward nice that these new cards don't lock you lot into but ane playstyle. While the control variant will probably benefit the most from the new back up, Chaos MAX and OTK variants can definitely make use of them likewise.

Although this back up probably won't make Blue-Eyes top tier, information technology does requite them a lot of new tools that makes them more competitive than before. While the deck still doesn't take a definitive catastrophe board, information technology does have its own redeeming qualities. Summoning huge Dragons is always fun, and what better of a Dragon to summon than Blue-Eyes?
