Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon - BACH-EN004 - Starlight Rare - 1st Edition

Product Information

D.'s 2nd effect lets you discard a card that lists Blue-Eyes White Dragon in its text to special summon a Blue-Eyes 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 use this effect to discard and revive Jet and Abyss Dragon since D.'s 1st effect will provide a Blue-Eyes in the GY. Be weary when you end your turn with three monsters on the field; three monsters from the opponent are the tribute requirements to bring out The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode. The jet was also shown in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light when Kaiba had to go meet Maximillion Pegasus on his own private island in seeking a way to finally defeat Yugi Muto/Yami Yugi.

However, Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon’s effect does not apply to itself, and an opponent can destroy it with an effect. This monster is unable to protect itself. This limitation balances the card for fairness. Second Effect: Other cards you control cannot be destroyed by your opponent’s card effects. You can only use each of the following effects of “Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon” once per turn, and can only activate them while “Blue-Eyes White Dragon” is on your field or in your GY. If a card(s) on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your GY (if it was there when the card was destroyed) or hand (even if not). At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles: You can target 1 card your opponent controls; return it to the hand.

The card attributes that surround "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (Level 8, LIGHT, Dragon, Normal Monster) gives it a large amount of external support. Examples include " Trade-In", " The Melody of Awakening Dragon", " Dragon Shrine", " Dragon Ravine", " Silver's Cry", and " Return of the Dragon Lords". Though the archetype has no archetypal Xyz boss monsters, the archetype's ability to swarm Level 8 monsters enables easy Xyz Summons of powerful Rank 8 monsters, such as " Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy".

Jet's 1st effect activates if a card(s) on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect and lets you special summon it from the hand or GY. This effect is great over the course of a long game since you'll be able to get a lot of value out of it. Since Blue-Eyes is great at destroying stuff, you'll have no problem triggering this time and time again. Usually, these type of effects come with a clause where the monster will be banished if it leaves the field. But, fortunately for us, it seems like Kaiba paid off the creators to skip that part for an infinitely recurring Dragon.Furthermore, the protection is not limited to Blue-Eyes. Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon provides protection to cards regardless of their archetype. This is a nice effect, and you can avoid many of your opponent’s effects.
