Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon [Full-Art Proxy]

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 the 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.  

Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon is one of the most valuable (core) cards from the Booster Display Set Battle of Chaos. The set released on the 10th February 2022.

It is an excellent addition to the Blue-Eyes archetype, both in terms of its appearance and its reference to the show. With all its ATK and 0 DEF, it protects all your other cards from being destroyed by your opponent. This blanket protection, which excludes itself, is acceptable because of the number of cards you can protect and the 3000 ATK that gives Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon a chance to hold its own. 

To activate either of its effects, you need a Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field or in the graveyard, which is an appropriate restriction. Its ability to Special Summon itself from the grave or hand when a card is destroyed on your field is incredibly flexible for a 3000 ATK monster. Its compulsory effect at the start of the Damage Step for any card your opponent controls can open up a direct attack for your Dragon or give you a 2-for-1 advantage in your attack. 

This card is hindered by the fact that it needs “BEWD” to be on the field or in the grave, while Ultimate Fusion cycles those cards back. However, you can work around this with cards like Trade-In. Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon is an excellent card to use as fodder because it can bring itself back from the grave any time you lose a card on the field. With solid ATK, good protection for other cards you control, and a bounce ability for any card your opponent controls when you attack, Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon is a solid card to have in your deck. The only downside is that it is never considered a “Blue-Eyes White Dragon”.
