Nimble Musasabi is today's card,
who may remind you of another card, with a similar
name, perhaps, who increases your Life points as
opposed to dealing damage to your opponent?Anyway, there is no need for great detail
here.
If you are playing a Deck and need
more Burn, on any kind of Burn Deck for that matter,
you can do without this.This is worse than Giant Germ, you can't even
use the Special Summoned Musasabi for tribute.
Crap...utter crap.

Well the cousin of Nimble Momonga is not nearly as
good as he pretends to be. 800 ATK is horrible, but
actually not bad for a level 2 monster. EARTH
doesn't really help it much, but Beast does. This
may end up reviving the old Baburn strategy. When he
is destroyed by battle, you Special Summon 2 more
from your deck to your opponent's field. They cannot
be used for a tribute summon, so they'll lock your
opponent down just like Ojama Trio did.
Used with Creature Swap, we might have something
here. Then you can combine it with Giant Rat for
some pretty neat shenanigans with Green Baboon,
Defender of the Forest. However, once Synchro
monsters come out, it will be useless, as they just
send to the graveyard, so it is like giving your
opponent and extra 4 level stars to bring out
Stardust Dragon. It was a nice try, but like most
exclusives fell short.

The Card
It has a very decent effect. This card is
used in Baboon Burn. Baboon Burn died when
Ojama Trio was restricted to one. This card
would of been great if Ojama would of stayed
to 3. We seen a Baboon Burn deck top with
the 3 Ojama's, but we have never seen it
again since then. They used this card early
when the set came out and I'm almost sure
someone made top eight with it at a national
tournament, but not here In America, If
Ojama was not restricted, it would be easier
to get it off. Attack a Ojama token with
Nimble Musasabi and get out 2 more dealing
300 from Ojama and 500 for Nimble Musasabi's
effect. Gyaku-Gire Panda is almost the King
in this deck next to Green Baboon, Defender
Of The Forest. This deck used Foolish burial
to put Baboon in the GY. Play Ojama and then
attack with Panda and deal a lot of LP. If
panda or any other earth is destroyed, you
pay 1000 and get a big beat stick which is
Baboon that keeps coming back. Then you just
keep attacking them until you win. You would
also use cards such as Just Deserts and
Secret Barrel to burn out the player. That's
where Ojama Trio is so important. Ude
realized that Ojama is the key card in this
type of burn, and we probably will never see
Ojama trio back to 3. This deck is almost
dead. Unless Scapegoat came back to 3 and
everyone ran it, this deck will never pop up
or if Plasma Control becomes more popular.
Advanced
It's too slow now, and you need Ojama first
turn to even benefit from using this card.
The format is too fast now and a lot of
decks set up early and are very explosive
and Gyzarus can ruin anything you want to
save on for later. All the decks in this
format can win in 1-3 turns, which is why
this deck will never be as good as it use
to.
Traditional
Not good here.
Combo's
Ojama+this card. Their tokens+this card.
Nothing beats having Ojama at 3 to combo
with it.
Suggestions
Look at the deck that made a Nationals top
eight and play that and find out if it's
worth playing. Which you will find out, it
doesn't have a chance this format.

Let me start by saying that this
card is really hard to pronounce. I think I said "Musabi"
about five times before I noticed the second set of
'sa'.
Anywho, NMus is actually a very
interesting card that I initially completely
misunderstood. My first impression was "This is
Giant Germ. Why do we have a new name for Giant
Germ?" Then of course I noticed the text that
mentions your opponent's side of the field and
suddenly I understood.
NMus is an almost entirely
combo oriented card, as his ability is only worth
while when you have something in hand or on the
field worth dealing damage with. Otherwise you're
merely giving your opponant protection (or Enemy Con
bait). As such, this is effective in a Hino-Kagu
deck, along with anything that's control heavy. Don
Zaloog and Masked Sorcerer (Why would you be running
Masked?) both have a field day with this card, along
with pretty much anything that's main power relies
in dealing damage.
The stats are lackluster, but
that's quite obviously for a reason. It can suicide
a Malicious - which is really funny when you think
about it. Unfortunately Dark Armed really just
ignores this for the most part.
All in all, this card definitely
needs a specific type of support to run at it's full
potential. It's splashable to a degree, but with how
much better it works with support it's not really
worth it. Just watch out for E-Con and D-Hero Plasma
and this baby should work like a dream.
Traditional: 2/5 This is... not
the best place for it.
Advanced: 2/5 I like it. It certainly has potential.

Today’s card up for review is Nimble Musasabi.
This card is actually pretty decent. It being lower
than a 4 star really helps it’s cause. You can grab
it via Sangan or Giant Rat. This gives Beast decks a
spark, but it is still not at competitive level. But
anyways, you may be thinking why is this card any
good? The big answer is Gyaku-Gire Panda. This panda
gets pretty big if they kill one of your nimbles,
and can end games rather quickly.
Other than using this card in a beast deck, it
should not be played anywhere. Beasts are a pretty
fun deck to use, but if you want to win on a
consistant basis, go with something else

Just a bit too late for BaBurn.This card is a reverse Giant Germ that would
have been a staple in the Baburn deck.It can combo with Ground Collaspe to create a
“soft summon” lock on your opponent, but that being
said nothing left here.

so BASICALLY, you have a very limited strategy here.
He inflicts 500 to your opponent and gives him two
cards. you can...
A: lock them with ojama trio and this since they are
non tributable
B: Use grinder golem or lava golem
C: Use it for fun
Because of the limits to the card, it's pretty hard
to use it competing play. Ojama is also at one. Many
people don';t play scapegoat due to glads.
Advanced - 3/5 in lockdown
