That (2) effect is a nod to the manga, in the manga Kaiba stole grandpa Solomon's/Sugoroku's Blue Eyes when Yugi brought it to school, Kaiba then replaced it with a counterfeit. Yugi realized that Kaiba switched Blue Eyes and confronted him about it, that's when Yami/Atem showed up and challenged Kaiba to a duel. Yami was doing pretty good in their duel (considering Kaiba was already the Duel Monsters World Champion), when backed into a corner Kaiba summoned Solomon's/Sugoroku's Blue Eyes but the dragon refused to obey Kaiba and disintegrate itself, Yugi then summoned it with Monster Reborn, defeated Kaiba, gave a speech about the Heart of the Cards and inflicted the Illusion of Death penalty game on Kaiba.

The Yugi vs Solomon duel at Nats is going to go so f'n hard

If we’re being lore accurate, after you fail to take control of your opponent’s Blue Eyes of the Heart, you should be legally obliged to tear it in half

I'm honestly just so in love with the theming and gameplay of the Millennium archetype, it's been years since I found an archetype so interesting - I will 100% play it on release even if it's not optimal. I just think they are so rad.

It's ironic that Solomon Moto's version of Blue-eyes White Dragon is better than Seto Kaiba's.

He's like a hand trap specifically for boss monsters lol

Shoutouts to Solomon Grandpa

They need to remake duel monsters anime , but give them updated cards. They basically remade every DM character deck into an new archetype

The Exodia cards genuinely seem interesting and I am hoping to get my hands on them when Infinite Forbidden is released next month. They also work as an engine in the new White Woods archetype that I plan on playing and are in the same set. Infinite Forbidden is the first core set in a while that I plan on investing in since it has a lot that I like.

Trivial that the Blue-Eyes retrain is the 4th card of Rage of the Abyss.

*_*Blue-Eyes' 2nd effect*_* He never read the manga >w< But yeah, this Blue-Eyes was played during Yugi's/Atem's first duel with Kaiba which inspired the whole bring monsters to life thing as well as Penalty Games that Kaiba would later emulate in vaious ways. If it wasn't for this moment in time, the game would have remained just being a normal table top game in their world.

Honestly may return to competitive yugioh with this new support. Exodia is fun. Make it viable again. Lets goooo.

Imagine koaki meirus being able to play without iron core but getting upside when u do have it.

I know that they are calling it millennium, but it should be referred to as Gpa Muto, or Solomon Muto Archetype.

does that mean this card is immune to Relinquish shenanagans?

that last effect could make the card a staple in side decks

Blue-Eyes Exodia is back.

I can only imagine at one of those character duels at a Yugioh event, when this card gets released in English I can imagine an interaction between Yugi and Kaiba to go like this. Yugi:... You may have me in somewhat of a corner, Kaiba, it's time for you to face a familiar foe or friend in this case, I sacrifice my Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl to summon BLUE EYES OF THE HEART! Kaiba: T..that's impossible! I MADE SURE OF IT THAT I DESTROYED THAT 4th BLUE EYES! Yugi: You did, but over time as much as it pained my grandfather. He went to Pegasus and asked him if he could repair the card. While he couldn't, he made this card in it's stead. Kaiba: Pegasus... resurrecting a card from the dead, while I am heavily annoyed at this revelation...I can respect this at the same time. Yugi: Because it's a Blue Eyes White Dragon isn't it? Kaiba: Yes, it's exactly because it's a Blue Eyes White Dragon in a different name.

So this card is pseudo anti-nibiru tech for the Millennium deck?

Does that first effect only work after it's summoned or can I discard from hand?

Could you do an reaction to lost woods History of Japanese TCG Like from the very beginning

I don't know how I feel about this kind of crossover card. It's really cool but it just feels like it should've been a sub archetype of its own, that way you could splash some other blue eyes cards in with some other millennium cards to make like a hybrid or pile deck.

The 4th blue eyes

New blue eyes card is always good to see despite not supporting its own archetype. ✅

Would running 3x this card be bricky? After you essentially discard the first one to search Ankh the other 2 would be dead draws no?

So… is this not limited on its 3rd effect if Millennium Aunk isn’t in the GY? Because that feels like Blue-Eyes and other decks would abuse this card like crazy.

I have a reason 2 go 2 my fav. card shop at Booth's.❤

So we are finally getting an effect retrain of Blue-Eyes and it is for a different archetype? 😂

they need some other interruption to reach broken power creep 2024 standards

Yugi probably would have inherited that blue eyes if kaiba didnt rip it in half

А blue eyes you want to draw opening hand

We’re really gonna get a Blue-Eyes Exodia fusion monster before Dark Magician and Blue Eyes

Oh no what will I do i cant summon monsters with over 3000 attack Any way i link off my Knightmare Unicorn and I:P Masquerena and Special Summon my 2300 atk Access Code Talker banish Unicorn to increase its attack by 3000 and attack for game. Or I summon any big boss monster wait for the activation and chain called by to the effect

Love from a GoldenNovaYuGiOh and Vaush fan!

This is so dumb, almost as dumb as the Magician's Rod and all the awful Dark Magician support. I wish they would stop disrespecting their own ip like this...
