You can only have a max of 3 Harpie Ladies. So having 2 HL#1 and 2 HL#2 would be illegal because your total number of HLs is 4.Random question, but do you know about the Harpie Lady cards in the Rise of Destiny booster packs? I used to had a Harpie Lady deck with a bunch of them but then my cousin said I can only have three of them despite the numbering in the name. I used to run 2 Harpie Lady #1, 1 Harpie Lady #2, and 2 Harpie Lady #3 but changed it to 2 Harpie Lady #1 and one Harpie Lady #2 afterwards.
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon seems like a fluke doesn't it?Someday Konami will give Red - Eyes the respect he deserves.
That horrible Alternative dragon is an insult.
Also, Dark Magician of Chaos is the most badass card alongside Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning.
Total fluke, card single handedly made Disaster Dragon a deck.
What if I told you that Thunder Dragon actually sees competitive play right nowThis one is my favorite card. I was the only one on my friends crazy enough to play these. Twin headed thunder dragon, great maju garzett and ring of destruction was my ace combo.
The old art was so much better, now it's too much anime.
My ace from back in the day.
I ran this bad boy, Jinzo, royal decree, and imperial order (before it was banned, I think). Shut down all that support. Nowadays that strat wouldn't fly, but it was so fun back in the day. Also loved using lvl 6 to run through swords of revealing light.
Yeah, I'm not even a fan and blue eyes white dragon is the only card I know.Smh. Blue Eyes is the Pikachu of the YugiOh franchise. Not Dark Magician.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Generation 1: Duel Monsters
User: Seto Kaiba

Latest Artwork:
Imagine having a card with such a reputation as the strongest card ever that there's a written rule on Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh! Design Team that states that no other normal monster can ever match the strength of that card. A card whose design, name and anime appereances have created thousands of references and memes. If there is one card that goes beyond being associated with "Yu-Gi-Oh!" it has to be this one. Your friends might not know a thing about this game, but they have heard the name before.
A powerful engine of destruction, virtually invincible. Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a level 8, Light, Dragon-Type Normal Monster that boasts the highest attack among all normal monsters in the game, 20 years of new cards and mechanics cannot strip him of the title of strongest normal monster, it has 3000 ATK. And a solid 2500 DEF.
Blue-Eyes artworks are all freaking great (with the exception of it's mandatory god-awful "Stone Tablet" version), but it's the original artwork the one that I think made this card what it is. Despite the fact of the original artwork being a Blue-Eyes Blue Dragon the artwork immediately pulls your attention towards it's signature feature, it's eye. The pose of the card, the colors, everything works to make that blue-eye as striking as possible, even the little wrinkles on the creature's eye-socket focus on making it stand out. And it works. You feel as if that dragon is staring directly at your soul. The rest of the creature feels a bit cartoonish at times, which is why I feel the card's second artwork tried to make him look more menacing and while I don´t hate it. I think simplicity worked best this time.
That said, I cannot not give a shoutout to Kazuki Takahashi's simply beatiful anniversary artwork for the card, it's absolutely breathtaking and my favorite artwork for the creature
The fully drawn background does wonders to sell this as a living thing that inhabits another world. The lack of detailed backgrounds is one of the main sins of YGO artwork, and this card is a testament of what could be.
Unlike Dark Magician, Blue-Eye's design remains consistent even with the previosly mentioned coloring issues that make it look blue at times, no matter how many artworks this card gets, it never gets old. You can even throw the fucker in space and it will still look majestic. But that simple first artwork is undeniably what made the card an icon.
Blue-Eyes is well worth it's 2 tribute requirement to hit the field, but again, it was outclassed by "Summoned Skull" as the go to beater of Yu-Gi-Oh's early days, why wait until you have 2 monsters when you can just use 1 and get a 2500 beater that you can equip with axe of despair? Why risk running 3 of those fuckers and brick your deck for the unlikely event that you'll be able to fuse them into Ultimate Dragon?
In modern YGO the times have changed, and thankfully for Blue-Eyes, it's enormous batch of support geared into turning the deck into a Synchro-focused deck that also has access to great fusions monsters and have made it a force to be reckoned with in the casual circles of the game.
The lore behind the support is creative as hell, it's basically an order of Blue-Eyes worshippers that do everything in their power to get their master to the field. Even the egg of the dragon itself became a card to help you bring out the engine of destruction as fast as possible
Together with many new forms for the creature itself to take and disrupt the opponent with quick effects and non stop attacks
And even amazing Spell support
Blue-Eyes' level 8 even makes it able to make use the Xyz monsters of one of the many "-Eyes" Dragon themes inspired by it, my personal favorite "Galaxy-Eyes"
Even if not a tournament winner, Blue-Eyes is a beloved deck, one that makes it worth the pain of finding a good price for it's rarest cards.
Blue-Eyes is the card that started it all really, even the very first expansion set of the game is named after it. There's few bad things to say about it. The reason why I consider "Dark Magician" to be the face of YGO, is because I firmly believe Blue-Eyes White Dragon goes above and beyond that.
Trivia time!I In the manga and anime the spirit of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is supposed to inhabit originally a human egyptian girl named Kisara. This piece of lore inspired the creation of "Maiden with Eyes of Blue"
I used to joke with my brother (who is a much more yugi hardcore than I'll ever be) that I will go back to yugi when thunder dragon gets support. When he told me that, I wouldn't believe him. I'm kinda back to yugi but mostly on Duel links (which, overwhemly, has taken over my gaming time) but also made a Isolde / hero deck with my brother's help.What if I told you that Thunder Dragon actually sees competitive play right now
I have a similar Hero deck. I like it but playing brick equips has gotten really old.I used to joke with my brother (who is a much more yugi hardcore than I'll ever be) that I will go back to yugi when thunder dragon gets support.

I always wanted that game just for the cards despite not owning an X Box. Think it also came with Dark Sage, the most hilariously unsummonable monster.I remember wanting to buy the PS1 game just to get Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon, even though I didn't own a PS1.
I ended up buying the Xbox game because it came with Winged Dragon of Ra. Was only $20 which felt like the steal of the century at the time. I held the power OF AN EGYPTIAN GOD KAIBA
Including cards with games back in the day (Yugioh and Pokemon) was fucking genius.
This is surprising to me, back when I played Decade Duels on the 360 there were plenty of people running red eyes darkness metal dragon decks online.Yeah...Unlike Blue-Eyes and Dark Magician who have so much support that you can build different decks with different strategies while still having them as your main card, Red-Eyes gets little bits of an idea that gets immediately scrapped so they can try something else. There's no truly effective playstyle because you just don´t have enough tools to pull any of the strategies the new cards want you to create effectively. It's a damn shame because the cards themselves are good...they just need to just pick a damn idea and stick with it.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon is the "B." where the other two mains are "A+", not a bad card or deck for fun matches, but not enough of a good card to justiy having a deck around it. Damn shame.
Am I crazy or is this card really, really good? I'm not truly knowledgeable on competitive yugioh but that card seems like it's way too easy to summon for it to have such a good effect.Then again I also really enjoy Dragons so maybe I'll just build around this guy
Also this guy
While the card is really strong by itself the card is a bit lackluster in competitive play.This is surprising to me, back when I played Decade Duels on the 360 there were plenty of people running red eyes darkness metal dragon decks online.

I have a full LOB set in first edition....how much do they collect for these days? Curious because my set is literally in my attic doing nothing.Speaking of LOB I shudder to think how much a full unlimited physical set of that would cost, let alone a 1st edition set.
Upcoming Link Support for Relinquished has been anounced though....with the first card revealed to be the underwhelming "Relinquished Anima"
Which has the exact same effect as OG Relinquished, except it's victim can only be a monster it's red Link Arrow points at...Terrible
It's sad to see such a good monster designbecome so irrelevant beyond being a collectible.
Relinquished is one of my favorite cards, had no idea there was link support for it. I eagerly await the best card in the game, Marshmallon.
We have been waiting so long for it :( I think that card got revealed like a year ago!
Why does it take so long? I'm all about Toons and Relinquished. I'm at least happy Toons are making a splash with Red Eyes in Duel Links right now. That Millennium Eyes fusion monster is too specific and pretty useless :/
To all the Red Eyes fans in this topic, now is a good time to be a fan in Duel Links. Red Eyes just received a ton of support through a structure deck and the latest box, they are now a strong meta deck. Bare minimum tier 3 before the box released, now potentially tier 1. The Toons variant is pretty fun and F2P friendly.
Lmao, who are the other cards in this picture?TRIVIA TIME! When Thousand-Eyes Restrict left the banlist, this hilarious card of it saying goodbye to his fellow inmates was released:
I went undefeated in my HS for a few months with good ol gravity bind. Everyone else played rushdown, i was the only GB player.
I would use my own Jinzo to suicide if they had one of their own. or to solidify a victory if i suspected they had a good trap card to stop me.
Or, if they thought their Jinzo was hot stuff. I had the ultimo counter. (shoutouts to my boy sonic eagle!)
And if they still weren't dead? "MY LIFE FOR AUIR"
