Beastly Mage
The Eight
Inner Gates
Welcome to another week of reviews, Naruto Fans.
Today's card is from Set 11, a Jutsu that's sure to
please every Rock Lee/Guy Sensei fan out there. The
Eight Inner Gates can give any target two damage.
Notice it doesn't say "Discard". Thing is that it
also gives the user one damage. Not a bad downside
unless the user's already damaged. Still, it helps
to get rid of pesky Ninjas and get you one step
closer to victory. Try it and see.
We only have two previews for you this week, so
enjoy the holidays.
The Eight Inner Gates
This jutsu honestly, is pretty decent for the
decktype. Unlike the first version, both Lee and
Might Guy can use it. Of course, you really only
want one Lee playing it, High Speed Move from ER.
Can’t be negated and he can’t be removed. For three
of any kind of chakra, you can outright destroy one
ninja, at the cost of one damage to the user. Well,
Lee drops like a rock when he gets hit (unless it’s
the new vanilla one) and Guy barely drops at all.
Or, you could use the Guy/Lee platoon and drop this
beast card for only 1 lightning chakra. If you are
running the Lee/Guy theme deck, this card is a must.
Too bad it’s art looks like it was cropped from some
other picture and resized…
Limited: 5/5 (2 Lee and 2 Might Guy in this set
makes it easy to draft.)
Constructed: 4/5 (If using the decktype)
Art: Someone seriously got lazy with MS paint.
The Poo Toucher
Hello one and all. This is going to be a short week
due to the holidays.
Today we go over The Eight Inner Gates from the new
set Approaching Winds. It requires Rock Lee or
Might(y) Guy and for 3 generic chakra you deal 2
damage to a ninja battling against the user along
with 1 damage to the user.
It's a solid card, 3 chakra is fairly standard cost
to either give 2 damage or remove a ninja, add to
that it's all generic, meaning you can put this card
in a lot of different decks (it reminds me of the
9000 reign, where someone at a kage event was
playing wind and put naruto 2K barrage in a deck
along with naruto impostor to surprise people with a
devastating early game jutsu) and in lightning with
reunion, you're going to have a lot of off color
chakra, so in that aspect it's really cool.
In the competitive scene, however, it can get lost
in the shuffle. In the leedori you want to play
double dynamic entry and high speed move taijutsu in
the deck. You also do not want your high speed move
rock lee to get injured as he surcomes to that ever
popular "sasuke syndrome" in other words, he's a 0/0
injured. I could see it making a mark however, in a
very popular archtype called "Milkshake" where the
majority of your ninja have no effect at all! by
playing iruka accurate analysis and pakkun hidden
intelligence you give all of your no effect ninja's
+2/+2, it just so happens that there is a new no
effect rock lee that is a 3/0 3/0 or a 5/2 5/2 with
those 2 other ninjas on the table. That, and the new
might(y) guy that is a 7/0 5/0 (9/2 7/2 with said
ninjas) means 2 users for the eight inner gates that
don't lose too much after giving themselves the
damage.
in closing, I could see it as a 1-2 of if you run a
rock lee/might(y) guy that keeps good status after
giving himself the 1 damage, if not try out double
dynamic entry
Constructed: 3 out of 5. I like the card, but it is
a little underpowered compared to other cards in
this set.
Limited: 4 out of 5. Lots of users and you pulled a
super.
