Card game reviews: Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon

Created on: September 09, 2009   Last Updated: September 10, 2009

This article is primarily for the many ways to summon a Blue-Eyes Ultamite Dragon. We all know the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Seto Kaiba's pride and joy. We all saw the ultamite dragon during duelist kingdom, but the card itself wasn't avaliable in the United States for a great many years later as a Shonen Jump promo card (secret rare). Now it's also avaliable in the Gold Series as a Gold rare. The show demonstrates one way the summon Blue-Eyes Ultamite Dragon with Polymerization, but there's many effective ways to summon this monster. Blue-Eyes Ultamite is a fusion monster and requires 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons and Polymerization to summon this monster.

Now let's back up for a moment. 9/10 fusion monsters specifically state that the monster can only be fusion summoned, which means many cards like Metamorphisis cannot be used. Elemental Hero fusion monsters state this. The fortunate thing about Blue-Eyes Ultamite is that it does not state that. BEUD can infact be special summoned and does not require a fusion summon. This opens the door for a powerful monster, the Summoner of Illusions. Heres the deal, the summoner's flip allows you to special summon a fusion monster from your fusion deck to the field at the cost of one monster, but you lose the fusion monster at the end phase. Since BEUD goes to the graveyard your able to special summon by way of Call of the Haunted, or even the Creator.

A more popular way is Future Fusion, this requires all 3 Blue-Eyes to be in your deck, by sending them to the graveyard you can fusion summon the fusion monster in just 2 turns. A third method is the all powerful Dragon's Mirror, a spell card that allows you to remove from play fusion material monsters from your graveyard to fusion summon BEUD from your fusion deck. This is more beneficially used for Five Headed Dragon since it requires 5 dragons, but works just as well for Blue-Eyes Ultamite Dragon. In fact by doing this, you can even combo with return form a different dimension to special summon as many removed from play monsters as possible, this allows your Blue-Eyes to come back. You'll find that chances of using a polymerization to fuse your 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons is slim to none. Three way fusions used to be close to impossible to create, but with additions being made around every corner, no fusion is out of reach anymore, you just have to know the right cards to use. Another card that's excellent in a Blu-Eyes deck is fusion guard, a trap card, when activated your opponents attack is negated then you have to send a fusion monster to the graveyard. If you have a Call of the Haunted handy, your opponent may be looking over his facedown cards very quickly.

One thing to keep in mind, you might want to keep a trap jammer or royal decree handy to prevent you're opponent form getting rid of all you're hard work. A dragon's Rage will help end the duel faster. For a Blue-Eyes deck, it's a good idea to have more than one copies of Blue-Eyes Ultamite Dragon, preferabley 3. They aren't the easiest cards to obtain but for a pretty penny you could be pulling off devastating combos and get even multiple copies of BEUD on your field, leaving your opponent crying.

If you have any further questions of effectively using a Blue-Eyes White Dragon feel free to contact me.
