Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu
Hey guys, haven't seen ya' in awhile! I keep
chickening out on writing the CotDs, but I'm finally
gona start reviewing SERIOUSLY again. Today we've
got Twin Snake Sacrficing Jutsu. This is requiring a
S Jonin or higher, so those of who who still run
Fire/Water can plug Hayate into this. The effect is
simple: the guy you use blows up, along with an
opponent. This is incredibly useful late-game: throw
away a Ebisu for Zabuza/Hayate/Roach. It is amazing,
but it has just 1 drawback in my eyes.
This can only take out the nin you're fighting
against, so if they send out Kakashi[ES] first and
you use it on him, then they can just send out a
Zabuza next attack. Also, if you are behind in field
presence, then getting rid of Kakashi and your Ebisu
won't matter, you're still behind. Although it'll
get rid of an annoying ninja, and at an amazing cost
thats easily splashed, it still has a couple bad
points.
LIMITED: 4/5. Any card that has a small Jutsu cost,
amazing effect, and in a COMMON, well, lets just use
a 'g' word that rhymes with modly.
CONSTRUCTED: 5/5. This is one of Waters staple jutsu.
'Nuff said.
ART: I hate Roach, lookswise, but Ankos pretty hot.
3.5/5
OVERALL: 4.5/5: Play it or die.
Final Word: Play it if you have Water. If not, why
aren't you playing Water?
Unless you play Mental. Mentals okay.

Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu
Pros: Take Out a Ninja
Two Cost
Cons: Give Up One of Your Own
Special Jonin or Higher
Again with the killing and the pain and the dying,
but it works. Today we have The End of the Demon in
jutsu form. This basically does the same thing as
yesterday’s card except you have to go up a level of
ninja and give up two chakra instead of charging
two. If you have both in hand then The End of the
Demon and Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu can seriously
shrink the field size. You just have to be sure that
you can give up ninja that big and that it’s worth
it.
Constructed: 3/5
Limited: 2.5/5 (You’d only want to use this if you
absolutely had to)
Art: 2/5 (I just doesn’t quite do it justice)

Twin Sacrifing Snakes
The Good
-Easy Destruction
-Cheap Cost
The Bad
-Element
Here's another water destruction card, Twin
Sacrifing Snakes. Yet another card that will clear
the board of any ninja you want, presuming it's
worth killing a ninja on your side. With the
potential of this card, it seems like it's just as
good as End of the Demon. But this card is a Jutsu,
and with that go all the good and the bad of Jutsu
cards. This card can be negated, it caries a
somewhat more steep requirement, and has a bad
element for a Sp. Jonin cost, having none. It could
work in a splash deck, or with Suien, but other than
that you'll be giving up a good ninja, and that may
not be worth it.
Constructed: 4/5
Limited: 3.5/5

Hey there again people
sorry for my long leave of absence it's been about a
month and I apologize but I was on vacation for a
couple weeks then I spent the last week checking out
the Gencon decks and how the meta is right now...but
perhaps now isn't the time to express my frustration
with the current meta.
Moving on..
Today's card of the day is:
Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu
Element: Water
Chakra Cost: Water, Colourless
Requirement: Special Jonin or higher.
Target: 1 Ninja battling against the user.
Effect: Discard the target.
Ok hmm....what to say about this card, as I stated
earlier I am very
confused by the current meta and how people are
coming top 8 with cards like
this in their deck. I mean it is an ok card if you
build your whole deck around it. I.E. 3 Orochimaru ,
2 Suien , Hayate , Anko Etc. But honestly no
competitive water deck plays Orochimaru at all and
the fact of the matter is
this card is a minus 2.
You give up:
- 1 Chakra ( Only 1 technique ally , because your
getting one in your Chakra
zone after it's played.)
- 1 Card from hand.
- 1 Of your high level ninja.
Your Opponent gives up:
-1 Ninja of your choosing
- Possibly 1-2 Battle rewards.
So ok it's not bad but if you are building a
competitive Water decks Water Vortex Jutsu and
Senbon are much Better. Water vortex is a plus 3 and
Senbon
a plus 1, plus two if you used Zabuza to kill
opponent. So I believe this card is Mediocre at best
and doesn't deserve to be in a top 8 deck nor
competitive play. End of the Demon does the same
thing, you don't have to go
into battle, it requires less of sacrifice. So take
out your snake Jutsu and
throw in End of the Demon.
Anyways I requested a columnist position so I may
talk more about the meta right now as well as my
experiences currently with this game and a deck
modifying dojo, where you may submit deck's and I
will fix them for you.
Constructed : 2.5/5
Limited: 3/5
So goodbye and have a good one guys.

Today's card:
Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu
B 1
Requirements:
1 "Special Jonin" or higher rank.
Target:
User and 1 Ninja battling against the user.
Effect:
Discard the target.
Well. This card is a doozy, I think. You kill one of
your high rank cards to kill one of your opponant's.
So, kill a Kurenei or Ebisu or something, and kill
an opposing Zabuza/ Gamabunta/ Fifth Hokage. So,
it's good because you get easy killing, but it's too
bad you can't knock off one of your runt ninjas,
like konohamaru. You have to give a strong ninja
too, but that's not too bad if you get to kill a
beast. I think it'd be better if the ninja didn't
have to be battling the ninja too. Ah well, we can't
all have what we want.
Constructed: 3.5/5
Limited: 1.5/5 (Wayyyyy too few special jonins or
higher to hope to pull some.)

Hey all, hope everyone is
getting into the Holiday spirit, especially with the
weather we're havin (As my fellow Pojo readers in
the NYC area know), but rejoice, for it's time for
Naruto's COTD for Dec. 5, and today's card is a
rather nifty one for Water decks.
Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu-Common Water Jutsu;
Costs: Water-1
Requirements: "Special Jonin" or higher Rank
Target: User and 1 Ninja Battling against the user
Effect: Discard the target.
Well folks, this card is pretty straight-forward.
Right off the bat, you've gotta pay one Water
Chakra, and another of any type. That's step 1. Step
2 requires for you to have a "Special Jonin" level
Ninja, or any of a higher Rank, such as a Jonin, Or
Sannin/Satoosa (Village Leader). If both steps are
met, well, then it's really just a matter of who is
annoying you now, isn't it? This card is the Jutsu
form of the Water mission reviewed yesterday. (For
those nauthgy kids who didn't read it, it was 'The
End of the Demon'). However, the drawback to this
card, is that you now need a higher Rank Ninja to
make it work, Special Jonin and up. Overall, this
card isn't too shabby. Lots of Water decks have that
Zabuza to rely on, and once he's injured, being no
good anymore, I don't think he'll have any
complaints on sacrificing himself for the greater
good, lol.
Constructed: 4/5 (A bit better than "End of the
Demon" but gotta time this card even more)
Limited: 4/5
