Kisara, err Maiden with Eyes of Blue, who really resembles Kisara from the Dawn of the Duel arc, fairly appropriate I guess given what she does. We have a Level 1, Spellcaster, Light attributed, Tuner, with 0 attack and defense. But you don't need to attack and I hope you don't have to defend with her. Kisara can do a couple of neat tricks, and obviously focuses on getting Blue Eyes White Dragon to your Field, from anywhere, even if only one of her effects can activate once a turn. If attacked, you can negate the attack, change this cards battle position, and Special Summon BEWD from your Hand, Deck, or Graveyard. Furthermore, when a card or effect is targeting this card, during either players' turn, you can Special Summon BEWD from any of the aforementioned places. Now, if she weren't a Tuner, she'd be all but useless, as you can't use her to Synchro a card you might see us look at tomorrow.

Maiden with Eyes of Blue
LIGHT/Spellcaster/Tuner/Level 1/0/0
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.

Next up we have Maiden with Eyes of Blue, a new tuner monster from the Saga of Blue-Eyes White Dragon Structure Deck. First off the name is stupid and just done so that this card cannot be counted as a “Blue-Eyes” card. Statwise, which is almost irrelevant on a Tuner, is well bad with 0 ATK or DEF, but it is Tuner so this isn’t designed to stay on the field for long.
Maiden with Eyes of Blue has two effects but you can only use one of them per turn. They are both very similar; the end result is you can Special Summon a Blue-Eyes from your hand/deck/graveyard and both effects require this card to be targeted. The main difference is one is for being target for an attack and the other is for when it is being targeted by a card effect.

As mentioned they are very similar but the first effect is better since it can negate the attack and you get a Blue-Eyes so you can get out a level 9 Synchro Monster like Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon (which will be reviewed tomorrow),

Overall if you play Blue-Eyes this is a no-brainer and gives Blue-Eyes deck another useful tuner. If you are not playing Blue-Eyes don’t bother with this, there are plenty of other level 1 Tuners you could use.

Continuing Blue-Eyes week, we have today’s featured card, Maiden with Eyes of Blue:

Level 1
LIGHT
Spellcaster / Tuner
0 ATK / 0 DEF
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.

This is one tough chick. You can simply summon her, and your opponent will have to just let her stand there, lest they dare face the awesome might of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. But of course, when your opponent finds the right opportunity, they’ll bait her out and get rid of her and Blue-Eyes. So how do you avoid this?

By not waiting at all. She has the additional effect of summoning Blue-Eyes if she’s targeted for a card effect. This includes your own. If you target her with a Forbidden Lance, or even a Fiendish Chain, you can chain her effect and summon Blue-Eyes. What’s better is that she’s a Spellcaster, meaning she can also be targeted by the likes of Spellbook of Power/Wisdom and Wonder Wand, the latter of which will let you draw 2 cards on top of summoning Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

This girl forces your opponent to think if you sit on her, and can quickly become a force to be reckoned with if you decide to target her yourself. Don’t underestimate this one.

Traditional: 3/5
Advanced: 4/5
