Today's card is a platoon: Sasuke and Itachi. This
card shows some promise. If you use the Sasuke that
gets a growth coin for every Sasuke in the Chakra
and Discard areas (sorry, forgot the name of the
effect), this platoon could get two coins, which
would make him an 8/6 right then and there. This
platoon also has decent stats as is. Try it and see.
Weird thing is that this platoon only has one
element (platoons usually have two).

Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi
Uchiha. The first ever single element platoon.
Decent stats, and can be played over a weak or
injured Sasuke(if growthed, even better). Sadly the
effect is okay at best. It only gives any growth
coins that were on the Sasuke(assuming you
platoon'ed over Sasuke) go to the platoon. It does
have Jonin rank and good stats, but the only real
use is in a deck that uses the new Chidori that
requires Sasuke+turn 3 or higher, or in an Uchiha
deck. Platoons need to have godly stats or an
awesome effect to justify play, and sadly, this has
neither.
Constructed:3/5
Limited:2.5/5(decent chance of pulling Sasuke or
Itachi here, but still unlikely to actually get
played)

Sasuke isn't the most playable ninja right now.
Turn 0 Sasuke : Owned by Choji USF.
Turn 1-2 Sasuke: Not good enough to see play in most
competitive builds.
There's Sasuke Special Power, but I wouldn't want to
be platooning him...(Besides, Sasuke SP doesn't have
growth, I don't think...)
Now, if you can get your Sasuke Growthed, you'll
have a 7/5 ninja. Pretty good, but after it gets the
coin, it has no effect, meaning it can be the target
of Sexy Jutsu, 8 Trigram DSSF, be killed by damage,
etc etc. The fact that he has no effect to protect
him or make him a more dangeros card, plus the fact
that he is a platoon, limits his playability. Also,
you can only use fire cards as a hand cost, unlike
most other platoons which have 2 different symbols
you can use as a hand cost.
In limited, he's got good stats, even though you
probably won't be able to pull 2 early game Sasukes
that both have growth. Like I said above, the fact
that he isn't dual-element makes it harder to play
him, which weakens him. There's not a ton of fire in
this set, during the release I played at, it was
primarily water with a bunch of earth. (Tons and
tons of Tayuya jutsus and Dokis were pulled...)
I'd only play this card if I had a LOT of fire and
at least 2 Sasukes. Or if I had other Fire cards
with a hand cost so I could use this card as a hand
cost.
Constructed: 2/5

Welcome to Tuesday,
February 12th's Naruto Card of the Day!
Today's card is a pretty interesting card. Sasuke
Uchiha & Itachi Uchiha, working together!?
However, they are young, so the stats are pretty
much Itachi's. 6/4 is a great on turn 5. However
this platoon has only 1 type of symbol, compared to
others that have 2.
It's a leaf Itachi, that's a good plus as well. His
effect isn't too shabby either, but forces you to
play Sasuke's that get growth coins.
Other than support or if you want to use Sasuke and
Itachi's jutsu, I don't really see this card in a
competitive deck.
