Sand Clone
Let me start by saying that I usually don't like
cards with very specific requirements. This is one
of those cards. Right now, I'm fairly sure that only
Gaara has the sand attribute, and unless you get him
and this jutsu early game, before the big ninjas
come out and Gaara gets booted off the teams, this
won't matter too much. It can be a nice surprise for
your opponent, and it isn't restricted to teams of
two ninjas, but unless they release more ninjas with
the Sand attribute and we can maybe even start
building sand decks, this gets a 2 out of 5.
Constructed: 2/5
Limited: 3/5

Sand Clone
two reviews in a row i must relly have nothing to do
anymore. On to the bloody review i suppose. Sand
clone, a very interesting card i would like to try
in my proto-type sand deck. this is one of those
cards i want to try out first. many possibilities
rolling through my head. here are some ideas im
playing with:
1. chump block
2. support
3. combo with kiba fang over fang
4. and misc.
so we'll see whats going down when it happens,
should be jolly good fun.
constructed: 3.5\5
limited: 1/5 gaara is yet again a SR so have fun
with that
N. Jolly
Sand Clone
The Good
-Bigger Teams
-Easy Cost
The Bad
-Gaara specific
-Not very strong
And again, here comes the N., now with another Gaara
specific card, Sand Clone. This card allows you to
effectively add another ninja to your team, but you
have to have Gaara in play. It's hard to bash this
card, as it really only does what it says. But when
would you ever really need it? Putting it in the
front of the party doesn't increase it's power,
because Gaara would be leading the team in most
situations. In the back row, all it does is give an
extra two support, which could be done with a Kunai.
And while you could front row it against a Dosu, you
should be running Gaara(Sand Barrier), so he
shouldn't matter. All and all, this is a decent
card, but it's not worth taking our your sand
coffins for.
Constructed-2/5
Limited-1/5(Try pulling this and a Gaara at the same
time)
Art-4/5 It is what it is, a sand clone
Stryker
Sand Clone: Uncommon Wind
Jutsu; Costs: Wind-1
Requirements: "Sand" Combat Attribute
Target: User
Effect: Place this card in any position in the
user's Team as a Ninja with "Power: 4/2". Move this
card to your Chakra area at the end of this turn, or
when it receives any Damage.
MORE Gaara support? As if that was needed, or
welcome really. To be blunt, Gaara has plenty of
support for him, in every set that's come out, since
Coils of the Snake. Depending on what type of Deck
you run, you can insert said Jutsu card. This latest
one, exclusive to Ninjas with "Sand" Combat
Attribute (Gaara only, for now at least), offers
that Ninja's Team an Extra Team member, in the form
of a Sand Clone (of Gaara). If this sees any play at
all, it just might be splashed in there, from time
to time, in case Gaara is injured to give the Team
Power a boost really.
Constructed: 2/5

Sand Clone
Even more support for Gaara.
Symbol: Wind
Cost: Wind | 1
Requirements: 'Sand' Combat Attribute
Target:
Effect: Place this card in any position in the
user's team as a Ninja with "Power 4/2," move this
card to your Chakra Area at the end of the turn, or
when it receives any damage.
Gaara is one of the strongest cards you can play and
his support is very good. This card basically
creates another Gaara with 4/2 power, which is good
and you can add it to your team in any position so
Gaara will be on 6 at least. It costs 1 wind and 1,
which is ok.
It does require Gaara to work though. Cards that
require a certain ninja to work can backfire on you.
A 40-card deck with only 3 copies of 1 ninja.
My advice is if you play Gaara then it would be
worth running at least 1 copy of this card just to
try it out. If you are able to keep Gaara in play
long enough to get this card in your hand with
enough chakra then it's worth
playing (Auto Guard from coils). This card does show
a lot of potential in the right deck.
Constructed: 3/5 (good for a Gaara deck)
Limited: 3/5
Art: 4.75/5 (Two Gaara's for the price of one)

We're back with another
preview for you Naruto fans out there.
Today we'll be reviewing the "Sand Clone" Jutsu
card, it's Gaara specific but can it hold up in
tournament play? Take a look.
Sand Clone
Type: Jutsu
Attribute: Earth
Jutsu Cost: [ Wind | ( 1 ) ]
Requirements: "Sand" Combat Attribute
Target: User
Effect: Place this card in any position in the
user's Team as a Ninja with "Power 4/2." Move this
card to the Chakra area at the end of this turn, or
when it receives any Damage.
First looks say this card is pretty useful, but once
you actually start to think about it's usefullness
in tournament play you'll start to think otherwise.
First off it requires Gaara of the Desert which is
already a 4/0 reguardless of which version you play.
So unless Gaara is Injured when you play this Jutsu,
it will only be useful either as a replacement for
the Head Ninja to absorb damage or for it's 2
Support. More than likely it will be used mainly as
a replacement for the Head Ninja during battle, so
your other Ninja won't take any damage. Good, but
not the greatest of Jutsu. Being a fan of Gaara,
this card will definately go into my "4-Fun" deck.
Constructed: Unless your desperate for a "Shield" or
if your Gaara is injured when you play this Jutsu,
it's not as great as people think.
Limited: With the possibility of pulling maybe one
Gaara (Being Super Rares..) this card will see
little or no play what so ever.
Artwork: Pretty neat, a "Sand Clone".
Final Look:
Constructed: 2.5 / 5 (Used mainly as a shield, only
if your running more than 1 Gaara per deck)
Limited: 1 / 5 (Chances are you wont pull a Gaara,
so I wouldn't even look twice)
Artwork: 3 / 5 (Pretty neat, They should have took
the picture of Gaara's Sand Clone absorbing the
Shuriken Sasuke threw at him during their fight in
the Chunin Exam.
