Harnessing Kaiba's "Engine of Destruction"; Exploiting the mighty Blue-Eyes

HARNESSING KAIBA'S "ENGINE OF DESTRUCTION"

Blue-Eyes White Dragon is possibly the most famous card in Yugioh. It is STILL the mightiest Normal Monster ever created. It matches Black Luster Soldier -- Envoy of the Beginning in terms of stats, and there are no other commonly played monsters that can go toe-to-toe with Blue-Eyes.

However, Blue-Eyes is an 8-star monster that, despite its raw power, has no other good qualities. Not worth it in your average deck. However, in a deck built around it, BEWD has the potential to shine.

There are several support cards for our dragon. There's Burst Stream of Destruction, a Raigeki that can only be activated when BEWD is on the field. There's Paladin of White Dragon, which is a 4-star ritual monster with 1900 atk that instantly destroys your opponent's fd monsters. Kaibaman allows you to easily special summon BEWD from your hand, and Kaiser Seahorse counts as 2 tributes if you tribute summon a LIGHT monster. Since BEWD and his support cards are light, it's not difficult to Chaos-ify a BEWD deck.

Paladin of White Dragon is, by far, the best BEWD support card. Deck searchability is essential. Thus, my BEWD deck doesn't utilize Kaibaman or Kaiser Seahorse at all. I posted a sample BEWD deck in the Deck Discussion forum; take a look at it and try it out!

Blue Eyes is way over-rated.
It can be a handy card though and a fun one to use. Especailly for all those dragons lovers out there.
There is huge rivalry and controversy of him and the Red Eyes Black Dragon.
Both can be handy, both can be made to work, but which is better?
Also, dragon decks can possibly be tourney worthy. Maybe not right now, especailly with chaos roaming the Earth and taking out all opposition. I believe that dragons will rise again someday and possibly even dominate. Heh, or atleast I wish, because I am a huge dragon person in general.
I will kill anyone who dares stand in my way of world conquest! *ehem* I mean, if I am opposed you shall indeed regret it!

The new Cyber Dragon and its fusions own all other Dragons. Since it's not out yet, though, I'm going to have to say that the BEWD variety of deck is one of the better ways for dragon decks to go. BEWD dominates Red-Eyes, though. Higher stats and better support cards make him 5 times better than the mediocre Black Dragon.

However, I don't think that Dragons are ever going to rise to the forefront of the metagame. They're outperformed by too many other decktypes; Zombies, Warriors, Chaos, Phoenix, even ALO.

Yah, but I can hope can't I?
Burn, water, or zombie will take teh stage once chaos is gone.

If Chaos goes away, that is. I mean, I hope BLS-Envoy will be banned soon, but many people thought Konami would ban the Broken Soldier in April. Maybe they'll disappoint us again ... and again.

Ha! Let's dare to compare:

*Red-Eyes B. Chick to Kaibaman: About the same. REBC is easier to get your hands on, so it wins.
*Kaiser Seahorse vs. Double Coston: No real difference.
*Burst Stream of Destruction vs. Inferno Fire Blast: Hmm ... I think I'd rather have Raigeki than three Ookazis rolled into one card.
*Paladin of White Dragon vs. Nothing: REBD can't be searched out from the deck. That's why the Red-Eyes deck SUCKS.
*REBD vs. BEWD: BEWD's stats are greatly superior. REBD can be taken out by a one-tribute monster without difficulty.
*BEUD and BESD vs. Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon, Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, and B. Skull Dragon: Red-Eyes has three "improved" versions of himself, while BEWD has 2. Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon SUCKS! Leave your Red-Eyes equipped with Metalmorph -- it's actually stronger that way when it goes into battle. REDD is a crappy nomi that isn't worth the trouble. B. Skull Dragon is just 200 atk higher than a basic BEWD. Compare that to BEUD, who, when released in English, will have the highest atk of ANY monster in the game. Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon is, without question, even more horrible than REDD and B. Skull Dragon, but he does pwn REBMD ...

BEWD wins, without question.

you missed a great deal actually. like the fact that to use paladin of white dragon, you have to give up a great deal of the deck, slowing the deck, speeding the blue eyes. also, you did not mention the use of metamorphosis as a fusion substitute to summon the king dragun, something blue eyes is not a good use for at all, helping red eyes get dropped from hand to field all the faster.

and yes, burst stream is the betetr card, but fire blast has versatility, since it helps against g-bind decks.

i'm not saying blue eyes is a horrid card, or that his deck type sucks, i'm just saying that a red eyes deck has as much as, if not more than, potential to be a turney winning deck, thanks to the use of king dragun to unleash hordes of draguns uber fast, that's all....

like i said, i'll post the article in the coming days

it'll take a few days to finish, i'm going to be as indepth and fair as i can, though i will admit, i've always prefered bewd, since red eyes decks can also run TER, and have always ((in my experience)) proven the more flexible

Here we go again with arguing......I say they are both very usable, either one can be made to win.

Any decktype can be made to win by a sufficiently skillful duelist. Hmm ... I should make that into an article.
