all other places are for self preference



the deck itself:

the deck in this design is very grinding.Of course,you're usually sitting on maiden half the time while your opponent tries to find ways to get around her without activating her effect.
lets take a look at maiden:

When this card is targeted for an attack: You can negate the attack, and if you do, change the battle position of this card, then you can Special Summon 1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. During either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated that targets this face-up card (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon 1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. You can only use 1 "Maiden with Eyes of Blue" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

now to start off,we have an abundance of good effects riding on her alone.

she can:

-special blue-eyes from generally anywhere

-deck thin

-negate attacks

-save you from potential damage

-special (even) when targeted by 'cards' (not just spells,traps,or monster effects)

she will be the main card you sit on in this deck early turns.She is a small engine to get the deck started and a threat to the opposing player.

but there are a few things to note about her:

the text that states "you can only use 1 'maiden with eyes of blue' effect per turn,and only once that turn" is one downside and factor that you will have to pay attention to when using maiden.

even if she is removed from the field and replaced, or you have multiple copies on board, you cannot activate those effects again after its been used that turn.

you can only use one of those effects per turn,and only once per turn,

this is because the card states 'Maiden with eyes of blue,' which applies to all copies of her.

But to add to the plus side,she can negate attacks even if there are no blue eyes' to summon,which is good food for thought.

she is also a tuner monster,along with the two other tuners in the deck,which are all lvl one.

lets look at the synchro for the deck, azure-eyes silver dragon:

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Normal Monsters
When this card is Special Summoned: Dragon-Type monsters you currently control cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects until the end of the next turn. Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: You can target 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.

Now,even though this card seems a bit subsiding,its effect is actually really amazing if used correctly.

But this also means you have to really think about your plays when you want to bring this guy out.

he only effects dragons you currently control,so anything new you bring out is naked to his effect.

this one isn't used for its attack,but more a defense card and a helper for an end game push,

there's no reason why you should sacrifice a 3k beat stick for a 2.5 hitter with a wasted effect unless you absolutely need to.

lets look at another card in the extra deck that is an amazing stall and helper:

2 Level 1 monsters
Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle. During either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated that targets this face-up card: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.

slacker stands the best rank one in my opinion.

not much really to say about her,but we'll go over just for assurance:

she can protect herself from battle once,which is amazing,while also putting into consideration she has a pretty beefy def racking up to 2100,which smaller monsters will have a hard time getting over.

she also can negate cards that target her,which makes her a small time staple for this deck.

whats also amazing is that she can use that effect up to twice per turn,not just once.which means she can bate out your opponents cards without having a hindered condition.

she is of course,stopped by dark hole and mass removal cards,but that's a waist on their part and one less card you have to worry about later.

of course,this build is suited to my personal play style,so if you don't like,then you're welcome to do whatever you'd like to the deck.

i hope you newer players were able to get something out of this small deck and overview,and i wish to see you all in the future.

until next update.
