Wednesday's card is
Tsunade and I'll save time by reviewing both
versions of her. She has the highest combat of any
ninja out there at 8 and a measly one support but
she's not going to be run as a back ninja anyways
with that big combat. She has Medical and can use
the Medical Jutsus out there, but her big drawbacks
are the nasty effects that temper that big power.
Legendary Sitting Duck(uh, should be Legendary
Sucker which is a gambling reference folks, more bad
English Translation/Editing) makes all your
opponent's coin flips Heads so running this one
against the myriad of cards with coin flip effects
is bad. Breakdown of Negotiations I think is the
better one. She is a 9/1 when she comes into play
but as long as you have two or more injured ninja in
play, she gets -2/-0 to bring her down to 6/1.
Depending on the deck you encounter, your ninjas
aren't likely to get injured as more like outright
killed so the drawback isn't so bad unless you are
dealing with a Fire or Lightning deck using a lot of
damage cards or a deck with cards that injure ninja.
Tsunade is a Wind and while I was hoping she was an
Earth because Earth needs the Turn 6 ninja more than
Wind does, I'm not complaining. Kunoichi decks are
now possible thanks to this set and Tsunade will be
the biggest hitter in one.
Limited:5/5(the only thing that surpasses her 8
attack is Manda, congrads if you pulled her)
Constructed: 5/5(despite the drawbacks, she's still
the biggest ninja you're likely to encounter in
tournament play).
Beastly Mage
Tsunade
(n-201)
Hello again Naruto fans. Beastly Mage here. Today's
card is just one version of the Legendary Super
Sucker... Erm... Sannin: Tsunade. Her effect is a
bit strange. When you think about it, coin flip
effects aren't used so much nowadays. So, it won't
really harm you that much unless you're facing
someone who uses Lions' Barrage or some other coin
flip effect card, but that's a rarity. Having 8
combat makes her the strongest Sannin, plus her
Medical attribute and her mental stats make her a
solid card for a Wind/Wind Hybrid deck or a Medical
deck (which are popping up where I come from).
