ATK/ 0 DEF/ 1800
Negate Adding a Card from Deck, Summoning from Deck, Sending from Deck to GY
Tips:
- A general rule of thump to active Ash Blossom is against with high costs and/or restrictions, such as Pot of Desires, Left Arm Offering, Ties of the Brethren, and A Hero Lives. Or against that require opponent go minus to active like One for One...
- Being a level 3 Zombie, Fire Monster, Ash Blossom can help Synchro Level 10 to Barrone de Fleur
- While it might seem counter-productive, using Ash on a card like Maxx "C" or the Mulcharmy suite can allow you to still go full combo without worrying about giving your opponent extra hand-traps/board breakers/combo pieces.
- Ash is a main deck staple. Almost every deck will contain 3x Ash Blossom, no matter the meta.

White Dragon effect to special summon itself cannot be Ash'd, however, it's effect on summon can. Preventing it from getting Ecclesia on board CAN prevent the deck from putting up a board, but it can also lead to Branded Fusion being online as they wouldn't have summoned a Synchro monster yet. -Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon however, is a great Ash target.

Rod is the primary Normal Summon in a DM deck, unless they got Primite and used Miasma Necromancer to get an extra Normal Summon. Negating this turns off their main searcher. Souls' effect is basically blind draws, but with enough fodders it's a Pot of Greed. And Soul Servant is a must-Ash because its first draw is always the most critical piece the DM player is looking for | Great | View Edit | |
