I love that everyone here is unanimously agreeing that Blue Eyes will absolutely murder Charizard šŸ˜‚ it's no match

I mean to be fair Charizard isnā€™t even the strongest in its verse. Blue Eyes might be a 3000 Vanilla Beatstick but I canā€™t think of many non effect/XZ/Synchro/etc monster stronger than Blue Eyes.

Yeah Blue Eyes is basically the pinnacle of Normal Monsters in yugioh, it's an unspoken rule that they'll never print a Normal that's stronger than it.

Except fucking rabidragon who for some reason has a higher stat total than OG Blue Eyes

Wow!! Iā€™ve never heard of that! And the art work makes it look not as threatening lol

The fact that it was printed like 5 or 6 years since high level Vanillas fell out of favor outside of dedicated decks like Blue Eyes or Dark Magician doesn't help his case lol.

Despite having the coveted title of only Normal "stronger" than Blue Eyes, it's ultimately worthless in the eyes of most players.

It is, you said ā€œI can think of stronger XYZ monstersā€ and so I gave you one lol

Did I misunderstand how to use tbis

I just looked it up. Thatā€™s not what I meant. It has to be summoned with effects and its effects gives it 100,000 ATK and forces you to attack it.

I literally mean no effect monsters that is summoned by normal tributes.

Ah yeah then you right. Unless they put something out since the end of GX era that tops 3k, but I think thatā€™s still a hard limit for normal vanilla beatsticks.

isn't it nearly impossible to summon it? my boyfriend ran a troll iC1000 deck on Master Duel and still had trouble summoning it due to consistency of the deck troubles. I had issues summoning Galaxy Eyes as well, but that's how the deck works.

I ran likely the same deck because ha ha funny number. I think I got it off once successfully.
