Gaara of the Desert
[Formation of Sand] provides Sand
decks with much needed Chakra replenishment. During
your mission phase you can move one Wind card from
your discard pile to your Chakra Area, making it
possible to use Gaara's Jutsus with little problem.
I've seen this card in action, and it's really good,
particularly when you've got a Double Sand Blade
ready. Try it and see.

Now here we go, this card, I love. Every turn during your mission
phase, you can get wind chakra back. This goes great
in wind, because it keeps Tsunade healing, keeps
Shizune protecting or recycling, gives Kurenai a
growth coin for only 1 chakra, etc. This card has a
lot of potential, plus it has those great Gaara
stats. Want a particularly nasty combo? Run this
with Detection by Byakugan Neji to get continuous
chakra burning. Try it, you’ll love it. However, if
you are running Gaara Jutsu, you’ll want to use IP
instead, of course.
Constructed: 4/5
Limited: 4/5
Art: 4/5 (Garra looks BA in that pic!)

Gaara of the Desert [Formation of Sand]
I like this card. This
card is definitely overlooked because of
Immense Power and Tragic Name. With easy
chakra generation, the comboʼs are endless.
You could combo this with Neji [DBB] and
always have chakra control. One of the
drawbacks is that you can only retrieve wind
chakra. And the majority of wind jutsus are
not of the aggressive nature. I will give
this card a decent rating just because of
the potential that this card has.
