Ino Yamanaka [Loves Rival]
Pro:
-low turn cost
Con:
-situational.
Today is Halloween. Seeing how popular Naruto, I’ll
bound to see some kid dressing up in their ninja
outfits and go house after house collecting their
precious candy. I guess I’ll throw some candy, like
I would with a kunai to show my love…anyway..
Our second card pin point the weaknesses in all girl
decks. With cards like Kinochi Battles and some new
female ninja, it’s easy to see why we worry.
Compare to other versions of Ino, she appears to be
the best of them all. Seeing how now a days, most
people put female ninja in some form or another.
Whether it is Temari, or Kurenai, Ino works wonders
in countering that.
But is it enough? I think not. One measly ninja with
support of 2 would not be enough to with stand
against a team with Temari. Even with her, she can
only tie with the best early drop team available,
and even than you would have to discard. As we move
on later in the game, the only female ninja that
would trigger this would be Kurenai. She doesn’t
exactly help there either. In the end, she is really
nothing more than possible 2 support with a pretty
face.
I do prefer Sakura.
Consructed: 2.0/5
Limited: 2.25/5

Ino Yamanaka [Love's
Rival]
Ino is one of those ninja that makes you wonder. Why
play it?
Ino is one of teh only ninja that gives you a
technical advantage against your opponent. First of
all, most deck splay at least one female ninja:
whether it be Sakura, Kurenai, or the godly Temari,
this ninja gives you.... an extra stat, making her
equal to Temari. Well, how about that?
Obviously, this card should not be played in the
main deck: your opponent pulls out Kurenai and
you'll be helpless against a 3 support nin. Second,
she only provides 1 earth chakra, while I'd rather
play a client for chakra.
Sorry for the short review this week:
Constructed: 1.5/5. MOst cards will get this rating
this week.
Draft: 1.5/5. While your opponent may pull something
weaker like a vanilla Sakura, this girl is no match
for the higher up Kurenai.
Art: Not many Ino cards have good art, 1/5.
Overall: 1.5/5

Pros:
-pump
Cons:
-still weak?
Today is Ino Yamanaka (Love's Rival) for those
kunoichi decks. While i think the idea is great, and
could potentially get girls into the game a lot
more, it still doesnt spark my interest. Pumps are
good, but how is it gonna keep up with an aoc? While
cool, still weak, hate to leave early, but its not
worth it for this card, see ya Ray
