I think Ink-Eyes is just about the only truly
*good* card with Ninjutsu. She's big, she
regenerates, and she comes in for a moderate
cost. Five damage off an unblocked creature is
decent enough as is, but add in the ability to
grow your side of the table as well and you have
a high-quality card. Keep in mind that Ink-Eyes
is legendary, so you don't want to have too many
copies in your deck, otherwise you risk winding
up with dead cards in hand. In turn, this means
Ink-Eyes won't show up in your hand as often,
since you have less of a chance to draw her.
For limited purposes, Ink-Eyes is a first-pick
if I ever saw one. She has the ability to
completely swing the game in your favor in one
turn, and she isn't cost-prohibitive.
I've never liked Ink-Eyes, but
it's for purely
grammatical reasons. Shouldn't her title rightly
be "Ink-Eyes, Servant of the
Oni"? Proper sentence structure aside, Inky is a
beating. Anyone would b
hard to name a better Ninja. Sure, there aren't
many, but the rat
stands out. Her ninjutsu cost is reasonable
considering her size and
ability, both of which
are impressive. Regeneration is an
often-overlooked ability that can matter
great deal. It seems like the number of cards
that disallow regeneration has
been reduced in recent memory, so I'm happy to
see some powerful creature
making use of it. Obviously a limited bomb,
where any large creature is a
happy sight, and one that can reanimate the
opponent's creatures, even
more so.
