Beastly Mage
Orochimaru
Today's card is a new version of Orochimaru.
*shivers* This time he's got both an effect and a
characteristic that will really work in your favor.
First, his effect allows his team not to be blocked
by any opposing team that's composed of at least one
turn-2 Ninja (or lower turn cost). That's pretty
sweet. Second: he's got ambush! For those who don't
know, the ambush characteristic means that if the
ambush Ninja is in the Chakra area, you can deploy
him from right there (as long as you can pay the
hand cost). It still counts as a regular deployment,
though. He's pretty good just with the ambush part.
He's also a Starter Deck exclusive. Try it and see.
For Wednesday we bring you Michael Jacks…err…Orochimaru!
This guy and his tongue…it’s always out…or something
coming out of his mouth…err…yeah. We’ll leave that
with Kishimoto and whatever he was planning for him…
Anyway, this Orochimaru is very, very nice. It’s my
favorite one so far, with a continuous effect that
is like a built in “Attack From Blind Spots.” The
last two Orochimaru were very situational, giving
you the ability to play any water jutsu, or making
all card values stay printed. This one however, like
Hayate, prevents chump blocking, but on a much more
nasty scale. He can’t be blocked by any team with a
turn 2 or less ninja. Ever get annoyed by Shika,
Sakura or Ino chilling in their team? Drop him, and
they’ll be forced to switch them out. Plus, he has
that new Ambush effect, meaning you can use him for
a hand cost on turn 5, then put him into play from
your chakra area the next turn! This Oro is a whole
new beast.
Limited: 5/5
Constructed: 5/5
Art: Still Creepy…

Okay, he can only be blocked by a team with only
high-turn stuff, he has Ambush (can be deployed from
the Chakra area), 3 Mental, Sannin, and crazy stats.
What more is there to say? There's no drawback to
this, and it's even better than [Deal]. Probably the
best Orochimaru.
4.5/5
Art: Only a Japanese person could picture Michael
Jackson licking a sword. (Thankfully, the one you
kill people with.)
Fun Fact: I have a lot of windows open.
Tomorrow: Do we need another version of this:
