Shining Victories: Even a Virtually Invincible Engine of Destruction Needs Friends
On Monday, we took a look at two of the powerful new Blue-Eyes monsters in Shining Victories: Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon and Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon. Today, we’re going to check out some of the cards in Shining Victories that will help you Summon them.
Mausoleum of White is a Field Spell Card with a bunch of awesome effects.
- First, it lets you Normal Summon a Level 1 LIGHT Tuner in addition to your regular Normal Summon or Set each turn. Combining that Tuner with your Blue-Eyes White Dragon will give you quick access to Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon.
- Second, it lets you target a face-up monster you control, and then send a Normal Monster from your hand or Deck to your Graveyard once per turn. The targeted monster gains 100 ATK and DEF for each Level of the monster sent to the Graveyard. Send a Blue-Eyes White Dragon to your Graveyard to give one of your monsters 800 ATK and DEF until the End Phase, and then resurrect your Blue-Eyes White Dragon with one of your other card effects.
- Finally, you can banish Mausoleum of White from your Graveyard to add Burst Stream of Destruction from your Deck to your hand.
There are five brand new Level 1 Tuner monsters in Shining Victories that you can Normal Summon using Mausoleum of White: Sage with Eyes of Blue, Master with Eyes of Blue, The White Stone of Ancients, Protector with Eyes of Blue, and Priestess with Eyes of Blue. Any of these Level 1 Tuners can be combined with your Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Summon Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon.
Sage with Eyes of Blue is certain to be one of the most popular Level 1 Tuners that Duelists will use in their Blue-Eyes Decks.
Sage with Eyes of Blue lets you add a Level 1 LIGHT Tuner, other than itself, from your Deck to your hand when it’s Normal Summoned. That means it can grab any of the other 4 LIGHT Tuners available in Shining Victories, or take an old favorite like Effect Veiler, The White Stone of Legend, or Maiden with Eyes of Blue.
You can, for instance, use your extra Normal Summon from Mausoleum of White to Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue, search out Maiden with Eyes of Blue, then Normal Summon her as well. Use Mausoleum’s ATK gain effect, targeting Maiden, and you’ll be able to Summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon with her effect. Finally, you can use your Sage with the Blue-Eyes you Summoned to Synchro Summon Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon while leaving Madien on the field to Summon more Blue-Eyes!
Sage with Eyes of Blue also has an awesome effect that can be used while it’s in your hand. You can discard it to target an Effect Monster you control, send it to the Graveyard, and if you do, Summon a “Blue-Eyes” monster from your Deck. Sage with Eyes of Blue lets you transform just about any of your monsters into one Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but it’s even better when used with Maiden with Eyes of Blue because you can Chain her effect to Summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon for a total of 2 Blue-Eyes!
Mausoleum of White and Sage with Eyes of Blue will help you Summon your strongest Blue-Eyes monsters to the field. You can try them out in your Deck if you’re lucky enough to get them at the Shining Victories Sneak Peek on April 30th and May 1st!
