Gaara of the Desert
[Possessed Mode]
Obviously, only play him in a Shukaku deck. In
yugioh, this is what we would call a "nomi;" it can
only be put into play by using a specific card,
etc., and unless they have extremely good effects,
usually involving protecting themselves, they are
not used. On one hand, it takes a Gaara and a Sand
Cocoon to bring him out, and you can't have him on
the field at the same time as the Gaara you just
popped back to your hand. On the other hand, if you
draw Gaara or chibi Gaara and a Sand Coccoon, you
can get him out early. Also, once you have him out,
you can get Shukaku on the very next turn and rather
painlessly.
Limited: no sand cocoon/5
Constructed: how awesome you think Shukaku is/5
Art: Have you heard of the new pill to get rid of
those ugly blue veins?
Beastly Mage
Gaara of
the Desert
(Possessed Mode)
N-179
Welcome to another week of reviews, fellow Pojo-ers.
Today's card is one that is a bit strange to some.
Think about it: a turn-5/one discard Genin? Now,
when you look at the effect it doesn't really
matter. The only way he can be sent out is by the
effect of Sand Cocoon, which means you need another
Gaara out on the field first. The upside of this
card is that during your mission phase you can send
this guy to the Chakra area and send out Shukaku,
which is just great, assuming you're able to do it.
Sometimes it just doesn't happen, so be careful.
Monday's card is Gaara of
the Desert, Possessed Mode from Eternal Rivalry.
This card is part of what will make a Sand Deck
possible. Though you can only put him into play with
Sand Cocoon, you can possible get a big 6/0 out on
turn 2 and play Shukaku with Gaara's effect next
turn. This card also allows you to break the rules
and play more than three Gaaras so you can use this
one, your choice of a Turn 2 Gaara, preferrably
Conversation, and Turn 0 Gaara in threes as well as
3 Shukakus for a total of 12 Sand attribute Ninjas,
which makes Jutsus like Sand Coffin and Sand Shield
finally usable. For all the Gaara fans, the Sand
deck is now possible.
Limited: 1/5(its unplayable in a tournament because
Sand Cocoon isn't in the same set).
Constructed: 4/5 in a Gaara deck(you're not using
him otherwise)
