Blue Dragon (Final Fantasy VIII card)

Blue Dragon is a Triple Triad card in Final Fantasy VIII used to play the minigame and for turning into items with Quezacotl's Card Mod. Blue Dragon is the forty-second card in the inventory and the ninth Level 4 card.
Being a Level 4 card, the card values on the Blue Dragon are not particularly strong, but its value placements may be useful for games that use Same and/or Plus. It is a poison-elemental card that comes into effect when the Elemental rule is in play. The player is likely to first run into the Elemental rule halfway into the game in Fishermans Horizon unless they pay a lot of money to the Queen of Cards before that. Placing the Blue Dragon on a tile with the matching poison symbol boosts the card's stats by +1. The increased values do not count toward Same/Plus triggering, but do count toward Combo mechanics.
==Obtain==
The Blue Dragon monster has a 3.5% chance to drop the card. Using the Card command on a Blue Dragon has a 93.7% chance to procure a Blue Dragon card when it succeeds.
Any AI Triple Triad player who uses Level 4 cards has a chance of using Blue Dragon in a play, from where the player can win it in a card match.
==Card Mod==
Four Blue Dragon cards refine into a Fury Fragment with Quezacotl's Card Mod ability, which in turn becomes the valuable Aura spell with Leviathan's Supt Mag-RF. Though the quantities the player can get this way are small, it is worth doing just to have some on hand. Fury Fragments are also needed for some weapon modeling, including for Zell's ultimate weapon: Ehrgeiz. It is worth collecting Blue Dragon cards throughout the game.
==Physical version==
In 1999, following the release of Final Fantasy VIII in Japan, Bandai produced a full set of collectible Triple Triad cards in Final Fantasy VIII Carddass Masters Perfect Visuals. The set was made up of the 110 cards as seen in the game along with 72 artwork cards and a collector's edition playing mat. The cards have a blue side and a red side. The cards have become a rare collector's item.
