Rasengan
(pr070)
Hey, Naruto Fans. Today's card is one that's been on
many a wishlist in this game. Rasengan gives Jiraiya,
the Fourth Hokage, or a Clone Status Naruto +7/0.
That's a good thing... BUT it gives the user a
damage at the end of the turn to the whole team.
That's bad in most cases. But, sometimes it can be
good. Both Naruto and the Fourth are stronger when
injured. It's kinda of a so-so jutsu, since it needs
a deck that can really use it well, rather than just
get splashed in.

Limited: Promo/5
Constructed: 4/5 but only in its own deck

Well, it's easy to compare
this to chidori because it is Naruto's signature
move, like Chidori was Sasuke's but they are very
different.
Chidori is a better card when you are looking at
Chidori and Rasengan by themselves.
However, Shikamaru [Formation] locks Sasuke [Beyond
the Limits], making Chidori a 3-chakra jutsu.
(Removing a lot of Freedori's power.)
However, if you have Shu in play, Naruto can play
Rasengan for one lightning regaurdless of whether
your opponent's Shikamaru is negating your Naruto's
effect.
Rasengan isn't better than Chidori however, despite
the fact that Chidori's huge weakness is Shikamaru
[Formation] vs your Sasuke [Beyond the Limits].
It requires Shu to make it any more efficient than
Chidori, and it injures your whole team.
If you fill your deck with cards to heal your
ninjas, those cards are just taking up space which
could be used for better effects.
Besides, if you Outstanding your opponents team and
all your ninjas take damage, you aren't creating
that much advantage anyway.
All in all, it's a pretty weak jutsu. I'd rather
play Freedori than a Rasengan deck, even though
Eternal Rivalry is shaping up to seriously weaken
mono-fire.

Rasengan
Today we look at the first Rasengan we've seen. It's
a Lightning Jutsu that costs 2 Lightning and 1 of
any other chakra. So it's kind of expensive. The
question is if this Jutsu is worth running in a
Lightning deck. It requires either the Fourth
Hokage, Jiraiya, and Naruto + Clone Status. So it's
a specific Jutsu, but these are the big bad
Lightning Users aside from Naruto. The effect gives
the Target +7/+0 much like Chidori except Chidori is
+5/+0. However, Rasengan has a side effect that
gives 1 damage to every ninja in the user's team. I
don't think this card will see too much play. Most
people will compare to Freedori. There is supposed
to be another Rasengan that is supposed to come out
later that is going to be better. For now, I'd wait
on using a Rasengan card.
My rating:
Constructed: 2.5/5
Limited: 2/5

Hello All! It's Monday and time for a CotD. Today's
card is Rasengan from the soon to come Eternal
Rivalry set. This card is a card with few
possibilities. Since the Forth Hokage is better
injured, this card would make him God!!! There
really isn't much other use for this card IMO.
