Hello Pojo Fans,
Wishes for Eyes of Blue is a 1-2 punch as a search Spell for the Blue-Eyes archetype.
Discarding one card lands you a Level 1 LIGHT Tuner and a Blue-Eyes White Dragon Spell/Trap, that’s a break even on the surface. With Mausoleum of White allowing you to have another Normal Summon if it’s a Level 1 LIGHT Tuner, this is helping you recoup after likely discarding Maiden of White to get to True Light or using your Normal Summon on one of your other Level 1 LIGHT Tuner monsters to gain their effect. You have many options for a LIGHT Level 1 Tuner, including Effect Veiler. As for Spell/Trap choices, True Light (if not searched already) is a great target, as are Roar of the Blue-Eyes Dragon, Ultimate Fusion, Vision with Eyes of Blue, and Bingo Machine Go!!!. Each offer different ways to gain advantage with Vision being the most direct and Ultimate Fusion needing the most setup, but regardless, the Spell/Trap you search should get you on your way. Traps are more defensive and Blue-Eyes Trap Cards are slower forms of offensive power/protection for your Blue-Eyes monsters. If you were set up already, searching one of these would be good insurance.
Banishing Wishes for Eyes of Blue is the quickest way we may ever get to Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon. Equipping a Blue-Eyes monster from the Extra Deck to boost a Blue-Eyes White Dragon by 400 is pretty meaningless except for it allowing the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon Special Summon to happen. Resetting a Trap Card each turn it battles, battling all monsters, and being immune to Trap Cards and Trap Card effects makes BETD a boos monster you want on the field. Resetting Infinite Impermanence or a Blue-Eyes Trap Card pays for this card, and using Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon as the equip via Wishes for Eyes of Blue enables Ultimate Fusion later on (if that is in your strategy).
Wishes for Eyes of Blue is a great search option for the archetype to get you resources back after searching for your best pieces and has a great grave effect. A one-card setup for Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, WfEoB gets you what you want and is one of those cards you have to see early in the game.

It isn’t legacy support for an archetype without a massive consistency boost, so here we have Wishes for Eyes of Blue.
Wishes for Eyes of Blue is a Normal Spell that lets you discard a card to add both a Level 1 LIGHT Tuner and any Spell/Trap that mentions Blue-Eyes White Dragon from your Deck to your hand, besides another Wishes of course. It might be fat Ash Blossom bait, but it’s fairly powerful if it does resolve to get you to Sage with Eyes of Blue, Maiden of White, or even Effect Veiler for your Tuner, while as for your Spell/Trap you’ll likely get Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons or Majesty of the White Dragons since this card should guarantee you get Maiden of White to get to your True Light. If you do opt to run Dragon Master Magia, you might also get Ultimate Fusion as well if you can get to your Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, since you can banish this card from the graveyard to equip a Blue-Eyes monster from the Extra Deck to a Blue-Eyes White Dragon you control to give it a 400 ATK boost. This mainly will just let you summon Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, which would then let the equipped monster fall off, usually Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon for targeting protection, though you will need the original Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon if you do plan to try and summon Dragon Master Magia. Each effect is a HOPT, but it’s a great searcher for Blue-Eyes to get your Tuners and your Spell and Traps to you with great ease. Maiden of White also gets this from the Deck via the True Light you put onto your field, so you shouldn’t have an issue finding this card. A good card to run multiples of in Blue-Eyes still to see it as fast as possible.

Another bombshell card, Wishes for Eyes of Blue continues our coverage, a Normal Spell that you can Bingo Machine, Go!!! or, more importantly, True Light. Wishes comes with 2 hard once per turn effects; the first one will let you discard a card to search both a level 1 LIGHT Tuner and a Spell or Trap that mentions Blue-Eyes White Dragon, except for another Wishes, of course. This alone makes Wishes an extremely solid 1 card combo enabler, since you can search both Maiden in White and Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons as an extender. Alternatively, if you already have or don’t need Roar, you can just directly search one of the deck’s endboard backrow, like Ultimate Fusion or Majesty of the White Dragons. Ultimate Fusion gives recycling and a free body, but Majesty is more versatile and easier to get multiple pops with; whichever one you choose depends on the matchup and personal taste. Destined Rivals sounds like a no-brainer inclusion, but since the format has quite a lot of backrow-based disruption, I don’t think it’s as useful as the other 2. If you already have Maiden, you should grab Sage with Eyes of Blue, and if you already have Sage, you should just go ahead and grab Effect Veiler (or another Sage for follow-up). The discard is expected for a double ROTA, but at least you’ll be able to dump any pesky Blue-Eyes White Dragons if you tragically open any. The Graveyard effect didn’t need to be there, but why not? Wishes’s second effect will let you banish it from your Graveyard to equip a Blue-Eyes monster from your Extra Deck to one of your own Blue-Eyes White Dragons, granting it 400 attack. This is meant to enable Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, which will not only be a decent beater to reach for OTKs, but also cheese decks like Labrynth thanks to its Trap immunity. As a bonus, this is effectively a roundabout way to get Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in the Graveyard for a single targeting negate. Not the most useful thing in the world when you already have True Light, but it’s the little things that count! Some combo routes can even use it to send Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to the Graveyard as Fusion fodder for Dragon Master Magia, though those lines won’t be very good until we get the Kaibaman retrain. You’ll be using Wishes as a starter or as a search target for True Light– either way, you are playing 3.
+Extremely versatile 1-card starter and extender
+Helps enable Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon and Dragon Master Magia
-Not super accessible as a combo starter

Art: 4/5 Fun nod to that animated promo video. Too bad Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon isn’t that good anymore.
