Sand Shield
Cards that use two specific chakra and don't negate
jutsu: bad. Cards that can only be used by one
ninja, and a turn 2 Genin at that, worse. If you
must have a Gaara/sand deck, use Sand Armor, as it
will mostly do the same job for half the chakra.
Constructed: 1/5
Limited: 1.3/5

Sand Shield
Jutsu-Wind
Cost: 2 Wind Chakra
Requirements: Sand Combat attribute
Effect: The user cannot receive any combat damage
during this turn.
Super Rare
Yet again, another specific Super Rare, only this
time not nearly as worthwhile.
Sand Shield only works with our main man Gaara until
they release another Sand user, Shukaku perhaps?
Anyway, this jutsu is similar to 8 Trigrams
Rotation, which only protects Neji or Hiashi Hyuga
from damage. It just tends to be not worth it in the
end. There are more useful Jutsu for Gaara to use,
such as Sand Coffin.
Constructed 1/5
Limited 2/5 Just because it's a super rare and could
net some trade value/$$$

Wednesday's card is Sand
Shield, and for all of us Gaara lovers out there( I
still want to build a deck around him), this is the
Jutsu that saves him from damage. Sand Shield is the
original jutsu that reduces damage to its user to 0.
It's like 8 Trigrams Palm Rotation Jutsu, only that
one is better because more Ninja can use it. What
lowers Sand Shield's playablity like all the
Sand-based Jutsus is that only Gaara can use it, and
the likelihood of having Gaara and a Jutsu like this
at the same time is not high. Until Wind has a card
like Temptation of Power that lets the player search
for Gaara and some card to search for Jutsus, the
best Wind can do is play a bunch of stuff that lets
you draw cards. Wind does have a lot of stuff to use
for card drawing, but in the end, you're relying on
luck which doesn't pay off in the end and you won't
have as effective of a deck if you have Jutsus
everyone can use. Still, this is one of the chase
cards for strange people like me who just collect
cards based around Gaara.
Limited:1/5(drawing this and Gaara is about as
likely to happen as a warm day in Antartica)
Constructed:1.5/5(Maybe you can get lucky enough to
draw this and Gaara in a deck built around him, but
I from experience know it's unlikely).

Hey there, Naruto fans. Beastly Mage once more.
Today's card is one that be seen in plenty a Gaara-themed
deck. While Sand Shield may seem good, it only
protects your "Sand" combat attribute ninja, not the
team. So, in my book, it's not that good unless you
want Gaara to stay alive for a little bit longer.
Ratings:
Constructed: 5/5 in a Gaara deck
Limited: 5/5 if you can draft Gaara
