N.'s End Now here we've got an example of a cool idea that I found while playing around on TCO that I thought could make a fun deck, building up Naru/Gaara off of The Light and the Darkness. I'm going to try to keep the core concept of this deck intact, which means not running FeatherBang (As I've said before, I'm calling it by it's original name, not the common one) Gaara, so keep that in mind. This is how I was sent the deck list:
1xAnko Mitarashi-Beyond the Limits 1xBaki-Clean Up 1xChoji-The Last Piece 1xGaara-Cruel Killer 1xGaara-Overflowing Madness 1xGaara-Guardian of the Village 1xHaku-Camo 2xHinata Hyuga-Unshakable Resolve 1xIdate Morino-Fast Runner 1xIno Yamanaka-Formation 1xIruka Umino-Teacher 2xNaruto-Remarkable Growth 1xNaruto-Naruto's Ninja Technique Journal 1xRock Lee-Vanilla 1xRock Lee-Releasing the Gates 2xSakura-A Double Personality 1xSakura-Teamwork between High IQ Ninjas 2xSasuke-Vanilla 1xSasuke-Flowering Ability 1xShikamaru-IQ of over 200 1xShino-Insect Warrior 1xShino-Hidden Attachment to the Victory 1xShizune-First Aid 2xTemari-Analytical Mind 1xThe Fifth Hokage-Recommendation
Jutsu 1xClone Body Slamming 2xGigantic Fan 1xKunai 1xRasengan 1xWind Scythe Jutsu
Mission 1xAnnouncement of the Pairings 1xCorronation Ceremony 1xHere comes the second proctor, Anko Mitatashi 1xOne Morning 1xPower for Change 2xProtean 2xThe Light and the Darkness 2xThe Power of the Shukaku 1xUnexpected Clue
Client 1xKoji 1xYuki Fazekaze
So let's start this deck off right!
For our T0, we're going to hit some of the basics.
1xShino Insect Warrior 3xSasuke Vanilla 3xRock Lee Loopy Fist 2xKiba Man Beast Clone 2xSakura A Double Personality.
Yeah, it's a bit staplish, but it's hard to hit your T0s without going with what works, so it's not horrible. For the T1s we'll have a bit more variation.
3xNaruto Remarkable Growth 2xTemari Wind Scythe 1xAkamaru Partner
On this turn we take a bit of a stray. This Naruto is one of the focuses of the deck, allowing L&D to turn him from a 0/0 3/0 into a 4/4 7/4 on T3, which is a huge swing for a ninja like him. Even if you don't hit L&D, you can still growth him pretty big on T2, which gives you a lot of early game muscle and decent support off of a Naruto. The choice of Temari here is because she's on element and she's just awesome for checking your opponent's hand and hand control, besides platting Shika/Mari into play. Onto T2...
1xGaara Tragic Name 1xKabuto Information Gathering 1x Yashamaru Sister's Memento
While Gaara TN is not the focus of the deck, being able to turn him from a 4/0 2/0 into a 6/2 4/2 (His Satoosa stats) makes him far more dependable as a head into the later game, which is always helpful as his effect is as good now as it ever was. Kabuto is here to help filter through the deck and speed it along, as having more than one L&D in hand is never really good. And of course we have Yashamaru here to help keep Gaara out of danger, as he is one of the keys of this deck. And back to more staples for T3...
1xKankuro Tactician 1xSalamander Lifeless Warrior
Hate to go back to the well on this one, but it's on element, it works for the deck, and it's honestly a good combo to run. And for T4...
2xShizune Medical Kunoichi 2xGaara Formation of Sand
Honestly, Gaara FOS is one of my fav incarnations of Gaara, and pumping him into a 7/4 6/2 is amazing to me, especially with Kank/Sal backing him up. The Shizune is an obvious choice, as she's just a great card, and really good for keeping your ninjas alive and Valid, not to mention her milling of cards can help Gaara FOS pull back chakra. Skipping T5, we'll go straight to T6.
2xJiraiya Instruction of the Hidden Technique 2xThe Fifth Hokage Establishment of Medicine
As with any deck that runs Naruto, you need Big J here to pull back the jutsu that you're firing and Tsunade here to keep your team at peak performance. It's a good late game team, especially with how easy it should be to have strong ninja with good chakra production out...and to round out ninjas, the platoon...
2xShikamaru & Temari Strong Arm Tactics
With Sakura, Tsunade, and a lot of other strong ninjas in here, this is an obvious choice for a platoon to run. It also benefits greatly off of Gaara FOS, keeping your chakra supply high so the cost to turn the battle Mental or not doesn't affect you too much. Now onto Jutsu...
3x Shuriken AW 3xRasengan AW 2xGigantic Fan ER 2xKnockout Blow
The jutsu in the deck is fairly standard, which isn't really a bad thing, as this deck should be battling from a position of power with the growth coins backing it up as well as Kankuro, so jutsu should mainly be reactionary. Even if you're starting, there's a decent amount here to shut down opponents. And now finally to missions!
2xThe Light and the Darkness 2xSakura's Decision 2xReunion with a Former Teacher 1xThe One who Lives Within
I'm keeping L&D at two because I feel with all the draw this deck has, it's consistant at two. I'd like to add Boxed Lunch to this lineup, but I'm not putting down a side deck for this, so if you want to try putting it in, be my guest. The Sakura's Decisions are obvious choices for any deck with Sakura, Shika/Temari, and Tsunade as well as Shizune to do back up healing. Reunion is helpful for those times when you've overextended and need to come back from your own blitz, and TOWLW is really just there as an easily abused draw mechanic. Feel free to switch the ratio of Reunion and TOWLW around to fit your play style. And last but not least...
1xEmina
She's just too good to have in a deck with mililng at all, and this deck will mill when it needs to, so honestly, just put her in.
Well, that was my look at a Light and Darkness deck. It was a fun build to tweak, and I'd like to see more fun ideas like this. Email me at n.jolly@ymail.com with your deck and I'll see what I can do.
