Village Academy
with dust2dust
Deck Garage - October 30, 3006

Hi, and welcome to my village academy.  I create this section to let players to be aware of different deck types out in tournament.  Decks feature here should not be copy because personally I am not the best player, and my fixes are flawed like any other.  I will do my best though.  I’ll start this section with a new favorite in our new format, Fire/wind decks.  This is a sample deck, submitted by PURE Guts

The main point of this deck is to rush until there no tomorrow, which fits fire/wind theme quite well. however some cards are really misplaced, especially when there such nice selections to choose from the new set. here's some examples.

Gekkou Hayate [judgement]: he is consider the new haku, sadly enough, with him having the same stats and all. the effect, even if it's not as good, is quite useful. Clearly a much more perferable choice than anbus.

Sakura [kinochi pride]: i lower this one because you would want to limit the amount of this you draw in the beginning. being only a 1 support, she is much weaker than the traditional temari. it's obvious who will win when they face off, each with a sasuke [aoc]. her effect is great, but it might hurt more than help.

Fog Clone Jutsu: a much more powerful version than Disguise Jutus [Coils]. sure there is a requiremnt a genjutus, but with kakashi and kurenai, it should be great late games. and if you ahve a great breakthrough as well, and you play both, you basically win the game.

Pet Tora: being an old card loses some of his likeness. the truth is this card will help more ways than one. even better in early games.

Gekkou Hayate [plan]: a lone avenger basically. he can counter instant missions, thus stopping cards like pass permit, or even one morning.

Kabuto [withdrawal]: same as gekkou, only for permanent missions.

Lions Barrage: potential 3 damage for only 2? i say it's worth the gamble. you really only need to get 2 heads to make the card worth it to play.

Lighting Blade (Curse of the Sand): see COTD...

That's all the new cards that i would consider putting in.  with any luck, this deck should be competitive.  I personally haven’t tested it out, but that’s the deck owner’s responsibility.  This concludes my first deck.  You too can have your deck feature.

If you have a type of deck that is not already featured in this section, you’re welcome to e-mail me at hokutenknite@gmail.com.  Follow the deck format like the one featured today, and some purpose in how the deck runs, or some of its tricks.  I’ll see what I can do, and post it up for everyone to glace at.
