• 72.3 kittens died
• An orphanage burned down
• Baby Jesus cried
• The release date of the card was pushed back ANOTHER month
• ExMinionOfDarkness would eat another child (he's rather good at cooking them, too)
• Hurricanes would strike the land
• We would receive another card we REALLY wanted (like Shrink/Collapse or Igzarion Universe/Exarion Universe) as a Tournament Pack Ultra Rare
• Puppies died. The amount is unknown to this date.
• Many Bothans died if you even THOUGHT about the card.

So a stigma was placed upon those who dared fight for the release of BEUD. It should be mentioned that tw pre-sold it for quite a bit of money, and now you can get it for the price of a Gigobyte on their site.

tw can bite me. Anyways, BEUD has finally arrived as a Shonen Jump Promo. Not SJC, which I would've LOVED to see… But a magazine promo. The fans of the show can now collect the strongest monster Kaiba summoned, and his true fan card… The awesome Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

The story completed, let's discuss his playability. While there is no detriment to having him in your fusion deck, you don't need him. In fact, I should go so far as to say you should never ever use him ever until the sun dies.

"But Coin Flip", you say, "you foolish ass! BEUD has 4500 attackzor point!" Many newbies who visit this site without much understanding of the game don't understand exactly how far the game has progressed. Even back in the day when there were enough cards that one person might be able to list all of the important ones (i.e., no Firegrass…), people understood the easy methods of a monster's death. You could spend three turns worth of summons to get out BEUD and run into one Man-Eater Bug.

THIS IS IMPORTANT. EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS.

No matter how strong a monster is, it still dies to any card that can destroy it. Your Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and my Skull Servant will die alike to a Dark Hole.

THIS IS IMPORTANT. EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS.

While many of my loyal fans and readers will already know this, this is one of the key facts about the game; idealism is the killer of skill. Overestimating this card's playability due to its ATK strength is foolish.

So then comes the question of what its one resource is good for. Well, you could always use it for a One Turn Kill maneuver… Oh, but we have better cards for that; namely, Cyber End Dragon. Double its ATK and you have 8000 that pierces through defenses. That's better than 9000 that cries when it sees Scapegoat.

But I can't rate the card. It's impossible to rate Fusions. You cannot lose because you play them and you might win for having it, but the chances, the likelihood of this ever being pulled out… They are greater than the rating I would give, anyway.

This card is a killer in Duel Monsters 6, though… Kaiba's opening hand is Raigeki, Heavy Storm, Harpies Feather Duster, Dark Hole, Megamorph, and Cyber Stein… Too much ownage. :(
