Beastly Mage
Kankuro
[Mimicry]
Welcome to another week of reviews, Naruto fans.
Today's card is the newest version of Kankuro. He's
now a turn-2, with 2/2-1/1 and a new effect. When
he's in the same team as at least one puppet, nobody
in his team (including himself) can be targetted by
jutsus or missions your opponent controls. That's a
pretty good effect, but: can you pull it off? In a
dedicated Puppet Master deck, yes, you could.
Anywhere else, dunno. Stats are a bit low, but not
exactly terrible. Guess that's what happens when you
let the puppets do all the fighting.
Kankuro N-269. This is
probably the best Kankuro out now. Most(if not all)
Kankuros revolve around puppets, and this one makes
his team untargetable by justus or mission cards, as
long as there is a puppet in there. True, they're
still open to ninja effects, but puppets have the
same stats healthy/injured, and Kankuro's effect is
valid. His stats aren't great, a turn 2 with 2/2,1/1
stats, but not horrible. Also, he doesn't have
growth, but then again, pretty much noone except
leaf ninjas(and the Sound 5 in their state 1 forms)
have growth. There are other good Kankuros with
lower turn cost, and good puppet effects, but this
is still probably the best kankuro for puppet decks.
Constructed:4/5(puppet decks only)
Limited:2/5 (+.05 for each puppet you pull.)
Today we review the new
Kankuro Card! Personally, I HATE! Kankuro… But he IS
a little broken!
Fist of all, he has pretty good stats, at 2/2-1/1.
And with Crow [Tactical Puppet] as a Turn 2 3/3-3/3,
and Black Ant as 2/2-2/2, and their PLATOON at
5/5-5/5, this is the Kankuro that makes a well-built
Puppet Deck broken.
If a 5/5-5/5 and a 2/2-1/1 wasn’t good enough
Kankuro can even shield his WHOLE team, providing a
Puppet is in it (which are very strong) from
Jutsu!!!
And finally, since damage-causing Jutsu is only
half-effective on Puppets, thanks to their rather
mono stats (Injured stats stay the same as Healthy),
Kankuro shuts down the other half, and with his new
Jutsu , the Puppets only weakness (if you can even
CALL it a weak spot), battle damage, also shuts
down!
4/5 in a well-built Puppet Deck
