Naruto vs Sasuke
Today's card is another of the Chibi Sannin
Exclusives. Naruto vs Sasuke is a card that trully
deserves its own deck. It comboes well with such
Jutsus as Moonlight Rasengan, and this card can
bring you a quick victory. I should know... I've
faced this sort of deck! >.<
I'll review this card taking into consideration that
this IS a Promo Card.
Ratings:
Limited: Promo/5
Constructed: 5/5 (In its own deck)

It's the most beautiful reviewer at Pojo, here to
give you on the card that started off as a promo,
then became an SR, and finally ended it's journey as
a Chibi...it's been one hell of a ride, NVS...one
hell of a ride...
Let's look at the basics of this card: Lightning,
T4, one handcost...pretty standard, nothing too
incredible so far. The card itself is a wall of
text, reading pretty much that all your and your
opponent's genins have to fight Chunin Exam-style,
and no one can help them...mabye Chunin Exam would
have been a better name for this card...besides the
point. This card is what I believe to be the heart
of Tempo (I say what I believe because some people
think Tempo and NVS to be different decks, but it's
my review, so I say it's a Tempo card :P) because
when each team of genins battle, the winner of each
battle wins two battle rewards and draws a card.. So
on standard, you'll be winning anywhere from 2-6 BRs
and drawing 1-3 cards...from one mission...you
remember that you only need ten to win, right?
This card right here is a win condition, pure and
simple. With ninjas like Sasuke-Breaking off the
Connection, Naruto-Control of Power, Neji-Whatever
one, he's huge for a genin, and Gaara-TN (not deck
specific, but still a huge genin), as well as a
bunch of pumps, playing NVS should either win you
the game, or allow you to win it soon. I'm sitll
shocked that this deck hasn't taken anything bigger
than a Chunin, as it always seems to be in the top 8
of every even that I've seen. It's a great
card/deck, and an awesome finishing blow.
Constructed:4.25/5 Even better genins are coming out
all the time, making this even better.
Limited: 4/5 I was going to say I couldn't use it in
Limited, but I remembered the Chosen...and my "First
word I thought when I saw this" review is obviously
OMGCHIBIFIGHT/5
Art: See limited review/5

The NvS tempo decks have been around a while now,
and while not always the most popular deck ran, it's
always lurking in the shadows ready to pounce on
those unsuspecting players that let their guard
down. On a bad day, this card makes for a huge swing
in tempo (no pun intended) in any given match,
dragging the game literally in it's owner favor
after just 1 resolution. On a good day however, and
trust me, there's a lot of them, this card simply
reads "I win".
Limited: 1/5 (It's a promo, so no limited.)
Constructed: 4/5 (It's a win condition, plain and
simple.)
Artwork: ..Naruto is about to laid out for missing
that punch.

Good day all,
thought we would leave Naruto vs. Sasuke? hahaha
PSYCHEEE xD Let's see:
Naruto Vs. Sasuke PR-018
Today's mission is a classic in all tourneys,
it's a mission whose deck built around it will
always linger in the T8, it lets everyone
re-organize their teams then during battle, only "Genin"
ninjas can be sent out to do so. If there are none,
both skip the battle phase, it also states that none
of your ninjas being sent out to battle can receive
damage due to the showdown so jutsus are still
valid. Now for the sweet part, if a team wins a
victory or outstanding victory that team's player
wins 2 battle rewards and draws a card for each of
those teams. This effect is so awesome and has been
the inspiration for Tempo rush decks for a long time
now, however much has changed since way back then it
was released, it's lost a considerable amount of
power due to all the elements running very good
early turn ninjas and the limitation of Shadow Clone
Jutsu to 1 also hurt this deck greatly, however, it
still has the ability to top and there is an
incredible T3 genin out there with killer stats
named Naruto ;).
A great mission deserving of a review for sure.
Limited: 2.5/5 (Not so good here)
Constructed: 4.5/5 (A solid mission)

Tuesday 7/13 - Naruto vs Sasuke - Lightning -
Mission
Chibi Art!!! <3
Anyone who knows me knows Naruto vs Sasuke is pretty
much all I play and likely all I'll ever play, so
this card gets an extreme bias review and rating.
Nevertheless, it is really deserved. Any card that
pretty much single-handed creates a playable
archetype and wins games on its own automatically
becomes one of the best cards in the game.
Ever since I got my advance copy of the Mission:
Protect the Waterfall Village DVD (yes, I ordered it
for the DVD first, sue me), I knew the card would do
something, so I set out to make it work. Six BRs at
one fell swoop? Sign me up. It became the quick
recipe for tempo or aggro hybrid Lightning decks;
get to 4 BRs, then drop Naruto vs Sasuke (or NvS for
those that abbreviate) for hopefully game. Strong
Genin for early advantage gave you two options, as
you bashed with them for early BRs and used them to
hold the fort down until you dropped this card on T4
or 5 or so.
Typical decks run a few pumps to finish off the game
when this card is played, like Unexpected Attack,
but some push towards 6 BRs so they only have to win
two of the three battles. Some decks run this card
is a side thought to throw players off. In 50 card
format, I like to see Naruto vs Sasuke as a way to
victory, but not necessarily the only way to
victory, because drawing any single card that you
run 3 of in a 50 card deck every game isn't going to
happen.
As for the art, it's cute, even if Sasuke's not
Genin anymore. Personally I'm all for diamond foil,
but I'll reserve judgment to when I see the card in
person. It's still awesome, either way. Extremely
fun deck to play, but you'll need to be careful if
you run into a perfectly teched sideboard, as the
card and archetype is shutdown by a plethora of
cards.
Constructed: 5.0 out of 5.0 (Any card that wins the
game and make its own archetype... is made of win.)
Limited: 4.0 out of 5.0 (Even limited, I can see it
being played. It won't be expected [can be pulled in
Chosen], and requires Genin, but it can randomly
work because there likely won't be many tricks your
opponent will be able to play against it.)
