Chidori Stream
It's no big mystery that single-user jutsus are
usually a big no-no, unless of course they are
absolutely brutal. For two chakra, this card pretty
much says "you win an OV", but the fine print reads
"only applicable when your opponent does nothing".
At least the first one could be used to counter
jutsu. Why this card is a super rare, I will never
really understand. Makes no sense to make a pack
super which you can only pull on a gamble be
inferior to the tin version which is a guaranteed
pull. Meh, I'm sure there will be some kids who will
see shiny foil and Sasuke, and trade too much for
it.
WHOO! I'm back after a long week of tiredness! Let's
review some cards!!!
Oh my, just when I thought the promo Chidori Stream
was good enough, I had to see another one...and it's
a super rare, no less. First off, 0 to everything is
awesome and negating effects are even more awesome,
but so is damaging and making standby ninjas, so
while it is valid that the jutsu is certainly worth
its salt, the big question is, which will you run?
Promo:
Negate effects
Give 1 Damage
Make ninjas w/ <= EC standby
Costs 3 & splashable
SR:
Negate effects
Make 0 to everything
Costs 2 and not as splashable
Both cards fundamentally work differently. One flat
out does damage while the other works on stats. It
comes down to preference, I believe. Both jutsu's
wreck hard and I can't complain on either that much
individually due to the balance of power. The promo
Stream indeed does more, but it costs more in
consequence, granted Water isn't that shy with 3
cost jutsu's.
I do believe it just comes down to preference in the
end to actually judge the better, but this SR
Chidori Stream isn't that disappointing frankly. If
you hate the 3 cost, this is what you get, so of
course you're not gonna get as much...nothing to
hold against the card really.
Limited: 3/5 *good luck pulling Sasuke*
Constructed: 4/5 *the promo would be a 4.5/5 in case
you were curious*
Art: WOW! A pic of Sasuke where his chest isn't
completely exposed! O-O /5

Chidori Stream
Today, we have the Super Rare version of Sasuke's
jutsu, Chidori Stream. Now, we have two Chidori
Streams, the one in the tins, and the one from the
Foretold Prophecy. To be honest, I think I prefer
the tin version to this card by far. The problem
that I have with this jutsu is that it does nothing
on a jutsu chain. Like if my opponent plays
trigrams, this card will not stop my ninja from
getting pinged to the top of my deck. I just don't
see how this card can help you win a jutsu exchange,
which is what most jutsus should aim to do.
What I do like about this card is its ability to
shut down ninja effects while giving you an OV. This
could be helpful in a situation where a ninja's
effect is activated during the Exchange of Jutsu.
Constructed: 2.75/5 <----- Better than mediocre
(2.5), but not worth the SR rarity that it has.
Limited: 2/5 <----- Good luck pulling both this and
a turn 4 Sasuke. I believe that there are two this
set that can be pulled in packs, one being an SR and
one being a Rare. However, if you do pull both, this
should give you a very solid advantage.
