Blue-Eyes Crystal Dragon

Blue-Eyes Crystal Dragon

LIGHT / Level 7

Dragon/Synchro/Effect

Must be Special Summoned with the effect of "Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon" and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 Level 1 LIGHT Tuner monster from your Deck. If this card is destroyed by a card effect: You can target 1 Level 1 LIGHT Tuner monster in your Graveyard; add it to your hand.

2500/3000

 

So this card's first effect promotes Rank 8 and Level 9 Synchro plays without going overboard by having a hard OPT, and preventing the monster from attacking along with negating its effects. Its second effect helps you go into Crystal Wing, given you didn't use the first effect that is because this card can only activate 1 of its effects in one turn for balance reasons. It can only be SS'd by the effect of Spirit Dragon since it cannot be properly Synchro Summoned in a Blue-Eyes deck anyway.

Can I suggest you ignore summoning conditions? So to incorporate Shining and Chaos Max 

[Abdelrahman]

No, because Blue-Eyes is already pretty good at making Rank 8's, so adding Chaos MAX would be too much for the Rank 8 spam.

For future reference Winter, you need to write more if you plan to CnC any further cards in this section. It's fine to make suggestions, but also back them up with some details.

 

 

But yeah, this is pretty much set-up fodder for future Azure-Eyes or Spirit Dragon summons; mostly off the second since yeah, BEs can spam their 8s pretty well off of stuff like Silver's Cry, Swing of Memories and other stuff. I don't think they need the additional support to Rank 8 / Level 9 that this card gives, since they can already do it sufficiently enough with the cards they currently have. To be fair, I'm not really on-board with having a Blue-Eyes monster that doesn't really fit into how they play nowadays (well, being an 8/9 like the rest of them in terms of flavor). That, and being specifically reliant on Spirit Dragon to be summoned (well, you don't have much of a choice in summoning it anyway); I don't know how often people run Moonlight BRD or Michael in Blue-Eyes for the sake of Crystal, but yeah, they already come out of Spirit Dragon itself. I would say to make it an 8, so it'd at least have some coherency with the rest of them, but then you lose access to making Crystal Wing off of this (but you get access to Azure/another Spirit Dragon instead).

 

Even if you did ignore summon requirements like Winter suggested, I'd advise against it. Sure, Chaos Max won't have its protection / double piercing damage effects but it's still a 40/0 wall or yes, further ED fodder.

 

For a slight wording fix, if you really want to make this a strict OPT, "you can only use 1 effect of "Blue-Eyes Crystal Dragon" once per turn, and only once that turn." If this card only had 1 effect, the current wording would be fine, but you have two. (I get what this is trying to do though)

[Abdelrahman]

Removed its first effect, chaanged its second effect to SS from the Deck instead of the hand, and added a float effect.
