It might surprise you to know that in a set packed with powerhouse monsters and supercharged Spell and Trap Cards, my favorite cards from Shining Victories are Mausoleum of White and Sage with Eyes of Blue. As you may have seen in our primer for building a Blue-Eyes White Dragon Deck, those two cards are incredibly valuable to the Blue-Eyes strategy, but that’s not the only place they can shine!
