Like Plants, specifically Black Rose Dragon, needed
more support. Blue Rose Dragon, looks wicked
awesome. If this support effect only targeted Black
Rose Dragon, he wouldn't be half as good. We have a
Level 4, Dark attributed, Dragon monster, with 1600
attack and 1200 defense. Not bad for a beginning I
believe.
Now, when Blue Rose Dragon is destroyed on the
Field, by Magic, Monster, or Trap effect, or even by
Battle, (so we're not very specific, which is great
in this case) you can Special Summon one Plant-type
monster OR Black Rose Dragon from your Graveyard.
In a word, that's sick. One or the other (leaning
toward the Plant-type monster) is good, both is
excellent. Obviously a must for Plants.
Ratings:
5/5 Plants, decent attack, can replace itself, and
even potentially give you Black Rose? I like it.

Friday: Blue Rose Dragon
Rounding out the week here we have Blue Rose Dragon,
the newest toy for plant decks. Blue Rose Dragon is
a 4-star dark dragon-type monster with 1600 atk and
1200 def. When it is destroyed and sent to the
graveyard you can special summon 1 Black Rose Dragon
or 1 plant-type monster in your graveyard. That
right there is a great effect in my opinion. Imagine
ramming Blue Rose into something and summoning back
your Black Rose or Tytannial. You could even get a
Lonefire then sac it in main phase 2, or get
Dandylion to keep a strong defense going against an
intimidating field. Dragons and dark monsters both
have a ton of support as well. Chaos Plants may look
into this deck as something to try out. I definitely
like this card though and I hope people start
playing it. It just sounds like such a neat effect
for plant decks to have in addition to all their
other great ones. It could end up being terrible but
hey, it's always good to try something during
playtesting. You never know what might work for you.
Traditional: 2/5 At least you can summon back that
Black Rose after a Chaos Emperor Dragon blows up the
field? XD
Advanced: 3/5 Give it a try, plant users and let me
know how it works.
Artwork: 4/5 Probably my favorite looking card this
week.

Blue Rose Dragon

Alright now for one of my favorite cards in the new
set. It looks...strange but I actually really like
it. Blue Rose Dragon is a level 4 dark effect
monster with 1600 atk/1200 defense. When he is
destroyed and sent from field to graveyard you can
select and SS a Black Rose Dragon or plant type
monster in your graveyard. Now thats pretty dam
awesome. Any deck that runs a plant engine could
benefit from grabbing a lonefire back assuming
the other engines components are in the deck.
Grabbing tuners like glow up and spore, or even
dandylion opens up several more combos. Furthermore,
if you nuke the field with Blackrose and this guy is
on the field well guess what...you get that
Blackrose back. Neat! Thats so nice. Alright now
lets look real hard at this card. For one...its not
going to see much competitve play as the current
chaos plant doppel whatever you call them decks are
pretty jam packed. Making room for this dude means
compromising an explosive deck that works off
combos. Blue Rose actually has less synergy as it is
a dragon type. However, it is a dark so I feel it
could be tech in one of those decks...but I'm not
going to do that so I wouldn't blame you if you
didn't either. Just because I really like a card
doesn't mean I would play it. I want to see blue
rose dragon in some decks, plant or otherwise,
because its effect is awesome and offers many
potential plays. Overall, nice card that may see
some play in the future.
