Beastly Mage
Naruto Uzumaki (Childhood)
Today's card is one of the new Childhood cards.
Just so you know: You can have up to 3 "Childhood"
Ninjas, and up to 3 of their grown up versions.
This Kid version of Naruto is pretty good. Turn
0, not so strong Healthy but not that bad Injured.
No Clone Status, but that makes sense. The effect is
a good one. When he's killed via showdown, rather
than go to the Discard Pile, he goes to your Chakra
Area. When that happens, you have to option of
moving the top card in your deck to your Chakra
Area. This effect is just great for Lightning Decks,
which seem to depend on having a lot of Chakra.
In Limited, he could be useful. In Constructed,
he could prove his worth. Try it and see!
Ratings:

6/14/10 N-94 Naruto Uzumaki (Childhood) [High
Potential]
==========================================
Today's card is one of the few new "Childhood"
ninjas we got in Will of Fire. This version of
Naruto has been a point of minor controversy due to
his lack of "Clone Status" which prevents him from
using Rasengan and a few of its variants.
Personally, I don't mind it, and it doesn't hurt him
terribly and does not make him unplayable as some
people say. He's still good since he won't take up
your Naruto slot in your deck so you can run 2-3 of
him and then 3 of the turn three Naruto's to grow
over him. Of course, growth may not be desirable if
you have Naruto [Reliance] (since his effect does
not trigger due to growth), but you can kill him off
beforehand and use his effect for the extra chakra.
Other than that, he has the standard early game
Naruto stats, albeit with one combat now, and no
interesting characteristics. I would recommend
running this ninja if you're running a a few
Naruto's just for the potential growth, and his
effect is not half bad as well.
Limited: 5/5 T0 common is the best you can get
Constructed: 3/5 Good, but he has some competition
Block: 3.25/5 Same as above, but with less
competition
