Rounding off wind this week is Shino. Another new
card from Will of Fire bringing mission and client
hate to the table.
Shino is a bit more useful than yesterday’s card,
because he is a ninja with mission and client hate
built right in. The nice thing about Shino here is
that he works on EITHER mission phase. Problems with
him though…yeah I found a few. First off, we have IW
Shino. An absolute staple until after Gencon when it
gets cycled out. This shino won’t see main deck play
until after that, and even then we won’t be able to
use Shino/Kiba so it might not even see that. The
2/1 stats are normal for Shino, but if he’s not
bringing in a bug then most people will play the 3+
combat turn 0 drops (Or the ridiculous 4 and 5
combat drops water has now.) Sadder still is that he
isn’t valid, and you can’t pitch him from the hand
to get his effect. You have to deploy or put him in
play to use his ability. He is also unable to hit
mission cards being played, and can only hit cards
that are currently in play.
Sideboard material at best, Shino can pick off that
Michiru, Efficient Training, Intellectual Strategy,
Miroku, or Secret Meeting that has been bothering
you. Like yesterday, this card may be more useful in
the future, but as it stands, I don’t see him being
played for a while.
Limited: 3/5 0 Drops are always good.
Block: 2.5/5 Sideboard material only.
Unlimited: 1/5 No one in their right mind would use
this in unlimited.
