Blue-Eyes is a series of monsters denoted by having "Blue-Eyes" 「青眼(ブルーアイズ)」 in their Japanese name. Some of these cards are used by Seto Kaiba in the second series anime, and by Kaibaman in the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. In the last story arc of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and second series anime, a mysterious woman named Kisara carries the spirit of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It has been stated in while the Blue Eyes brings power, its opposite, the Red-Eyes series of cards, bring potential.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator, Helio uses a Deck revolving around "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

[edit] Playability

Blue-Eyes Decks generally involve Summoning "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" through various support cards. One of which is to Ritual Summon "Paladin of White Dragon" with "Advanced Ritual Art" or "White Dragon Ritual", with "Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands" to search out either Ritual Spell Card or "Paladin". Other strategies revolve around "Kaibaman" and "Ancient Rules". It also fits well in Dragon Lords Decks, as it can be summoned with "Decoy Dragon" or discarded for "Trade-In" and "Montage Dragon". It also has a new Tuner support monster, "The White Stone of Legend".

One of the newest dragons to come from crimson crisis that is one of the most helpful ways to summon the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and other high level dragons is "Totem Dragon". It can be discarded to the graveyard from the hand or deck through various cards such as "Future Fusion" or "Vanguard of the Dragon" and it's effect will activate to come back to the field only if you have all dragon type monsters in your graveyard. It can also be used as a synchro material monster with "Debris Dragon" for a level 6 dragon type synchro monster, such as"Iron Chain Dragon"

Its Fusion, "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" is involved in One Turn Kills. "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" is often Fusion Summoned through a combination of "Future Fusion" and "Dragon's Mirror" (or "Cyber-Stein" in the Traditional Format). Combined with "Megamorph" and Spell and Trap-clearing cards it can attack directly to win. However "Five-Headed Dragon" is often a better choice for "Future Fusion" and "Dragon's Mirror" (and "Cyber Twin Dragon" for the "Cyber-Stein" strategy).

"Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" can be used to further "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's" power, but is often better avoided.

Aside from the mentioned cards, the monster build includes Dragons for "Dragon's Mirror" to Fusion Summon "Five-Headed Dragon". "Luster Dragon" serves as an attacker and also to be used for "Advanced Ritual Art". "Elemental Hero Prisma" can also be used if summoning "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" can be used to Special Summon it from the Graveyard. Another strategy involves "Lord of D.," and either "The Flute of Summoning Dragon" or "King Dragun". Because relying on "The Flute of Summoning Dragon" is considered bad Hand management, "King Dragun" is generally preferred. The deck may also utilize Normal Monster and Light support cards such as "Birthright" and "Freed the Brave Wanderer". "Non-Spellcasting Area" can also be used to bypass the attack-canceling effect of "Burst Stream of Destruction." "Return from the Different Dimension" and "Dimension Fusion" are also useful for retrieving large amounts of monsters removed for "Dragon's Mirror", to attack directly to win.
