YAY KABUTO!
I really want this card....but i don't have it. I
got the Kage instead =P
sorry for the rather short review
Anyway, he is a great card, near broken effect.
however everything has a weakness, and i mean
EVERYTHING. I wont go into it much because you know
its good, and i know its good....lets call it good.
Constructed: 4.5/5 (good but not perfect)
Limited: 5/5 (o hell who am i kidding...if you pull
this your opponents are up poop creek without a
hope.)
Art: 3.5/5 he dont look so bad as a scheming,
cheating, lying, spying, weasely jerkface

Today's
card of the day is one of the most sort after cards
from revenge and rebirth..
Straight away we see
that he has good healthy stats for a turn 5, and his
effect of not being targeted by your opponent’s
Jutsu cards, which is valid, makes him the perfect
attacker for your team. This means your opponent
will be stuck with using Jutsu cards to power up
his/her own team, which is easy to counter with the
escape Jutsu. He also has a very good metal power.
This is normally the
part when I tell you the faults of the card but
honestly the only thing I can see is that the
injured stats are a bit weak for attacking but is
still good for supporting your team.
My advice is if you
play a water deck you should take out one of your
Zabuza’s and stick this card because it will make a
difference.
Constructed: 5/5 (he’s
gone up since my last review because he is that
good)
Limited: 5/5
Art: 4.5/5 (ah the old
ANBU disguise oldest trick in the book)

Wednesday's card review is one I'm excited about
because this card is one that will change how people
use Jutsu. Kabuto Yakushi, Covert Operative is
already looking to be one of the best cards in the
set and for the lucky few who have pulled him, you
know why. Kabuto is a Turn 5 Water Jonin with 2
Mental Power, and mental is always a plus on any
card. Kabuto is a 6/3 healthy and 2/2 injured, his
injured stats the only bad thing about him. Kabuto's
effect is basically Disguise Jutsu slapped onto a
ninja, which makes him immune to various nasty
Jutsus like Water Style:Giant Vortex Jutsu and
others that normally see play. What makes Kabuto so
good is the combination of all his good points. He's
a Jonin, which means he can use Jonin level Jutsus
like Giant Vortex and Silent Killing Jutsu. He's 6/3
healthy, same as most Kakashis, the Mental Power of
2 helps if you play Earth for Ibiki or Wind for
Suzume, and the Disguise Jutsu effect means your
opponent will be a lot more careful in how you use
Jutsus. Due to the ruling that a Jutsu that targets
a team must legally target all ninja in the team,
Jutsus like Giant Vortex will become useless on a
team with Kabuto in it. My personal opinion is that
this card is the best ninja if not the best card in
Revenge and Rebirth because the effect is simple and
doesn't use up your resources to use the effect(the
discard cost to play him isn't a wasted resource).
If he hits your table opposite you, take him out
either in battle or with a Mission like End of the
Demon, which will probably see more play now which
it should have anyway. If you pull this, it may be
the best excuse to start playing Water if you don't
already.
Limited:5/5(Pulling Kabuto here means you got
extremely lucky)
Constructed:5/5(Any card that changes how a game
gets played when it hits is awesome)

Two words, New Haku. He is powerful, smart, medical,
Jonin, and effective, and a turn 5. He is just plain
awesome, and this is Fire/Water's new card. Big,
bad, and SR. So save your money kiddies.

Kabuto Yakushi (N-152)
Whoa! Now I have to say, I really like this card.
For those who know Beastly Mage, you'll know he
started his Cosplaying career with this guy. Yes,
I'm a cosplayer, deal with it!
Now, this guy is really good. Being a Jonin lets him
use a lot of good jutsus, plus he's a Medical-nin,
letting him use the Dead Soul jutsu and others. With
healthy stats comparable to those of the Copy Ninja
himself, he can do quite well when healthy, though
not as much when injured, when his stats are similar
to one of his previous versions. Having 2 Mental
Power makes up for that. His effect is quite good,
making him near-perfect in my view. Where does this
guy belong? One good type of deck for him is what I
call "The Thinking Mud Deck", meaning a mix of Water
and Earth with Mental Power. I've seen it work here
in Puerto Rico, and trust me, it works quite well.
Ratings:
Constructed: 4/5 in a Thinking Mud Deck and any
other that can use him
Limited: 4/5 if you can draft enough water cards for
him... and you can get this SR

Yes! Finally, I can review a GREAT card.
My first and second CotD's did'nt go through for
some reason, but the fact that this one will
(hopefully) go through, will make up for it.
Ok, so Kabuto has many good things going for him.
Lets list the Pro's and Con's to this card:
Pro's:
Water
High stats
Mental Power
Valid
Jonin
Medical Ninja
Con's:
You have to discard to play him
Turn 5
The Pros outweigh the Cons. Personally, I hate
discarding just to play another card, but Kabuto is
worth it.
When you throw this down, along with a Zabuza or
even a Kurenai, you practically have an untouchable
team.
All the things your Kabuto is safe from. 8 Trigrams,
Giant Vortex, Fireball, Phoenix Flower, Giant
Breakthrough, Lightning Blade (if people use many of
those in your area o.O), and any other Jutsu your
opponent might try to use against him! And the
greatest part? Its on a 6/3 body! AND you can still
use those Jutsu AGAINST your opponent even though
they can't use it against YOU.
Kabuto is one of the most broken cards out there. He
even has Mental Power: 2!
Constructed: 4.5/5 {Great for a Water, Water/Wind,
or a Fire/Water Deck.}
Limited: 5/5 {Dude... If you pull this, you're one
lucky guy...}
Art: 5/5 {Man, I love the Anbu Black Op suit...}
