Beastly Mage
The Third Hokage
Will of Fire is one good name for this Ninja's
effect. By protecting your Leaf Ninjas from Mission
effects you've got one way to foil your opponent's
plan, even if for a little while. He's also got good
stats, and a nice little bonus: free entry!
If you have 4 or more Leaf Ninjas out, he gets -1
Entrance and Hand cost, making him a free Turn 5 in
the right deck. Problem is that one of the best
decks for Leaf Ninjas (as in, using a lot of Leaf
Ninjas) is the Leaf Academy Deck, which uses a whole
other version of the Third Hokage. Still, a good
choice for Limited, even with the Hand cost.
==================================
4/27/10 N-749 The Third Hokage [Supremacy]
==================================
It's been awhile since we had Third Hokage ninja
card, besides (Childhood), that is. If I recall
correctly, that last one we had was in Lineage of
the Legends (Set 10). It's been six sets since we've
last saw him; let's see if he is still up with the
times.
His first effect is a pretty good effect, giving
protection to all of your Leaf ninjas (including
himself) from your opponent's Missions. They're
aren't too many Missions that target Ninjas, but it
is still a decent effect nonetheless. His second
effect is quite the kicker though, since it can make
him a 6/4 Satoosa on turn five with no Hand Cost.
All you need to do is have 4 or more Leaf ninjas in
play, which is pretty standard in most mono-fire
builds.
Unfortunately, this will not see much play, since
most decks prefer [Guardian Of The Village] or
[Addressing Past Wrongs] over this, and Itachi [GiG]
is still Fire's best T6 ninja.
Limited: 1.25/5 His effect is harder to pull-off
here.
Constructed: 2.25/5 Better Options here
Block: 2.25/5 [APW] and [GOTV] are both block legal
and better.
