Misumi is an interesting card. Don't forget that his
other forms are not exactly playable, so this gets a
clean slate.
He has Gaara stats on T2, which is good, and drops
any team with a T2 or less by two team power, which
can indirectly make him a 6 Power or 2 Support in
some situations. Problem? I find him too
situational. First off, he only works when he
attacks, so in a sense, he's limited to mostly as a
Head Ninja. Early game that's fine, as that's where
he'll shine. Late game he becomes more fodder, and
seeing Water shines with late game Jonin jutsus, I
can't say I'm a huge fan.
He's also lacking in Chunin, which only slightly
takes playability away. Nevertheless, Water's been
lacking in early game, and really it's not like
they're going to tempo to win any time soon. Water
just needs to survive long enough to Ghost Panic or
drop successive Jonins, and Misumi's an offensive
Ninja for the most part.
That said, he's not bad by any stretch of the
imagination. I'd rank him as slightly above average,
and can be a decent T2 drop in some situations. I'd
just rather drop a guy with multiple uses, along
with some support to push a big team and have use
late game. Then again, Misumi + Kabuto would be a
beating, at least when attacking.
Constructed: 3.5 out of 5.0 (Decent, has uses, and
perhaps 1 or maybe 2 in some Water decks.)
Limited: 4.8 out of 5.0 (He's a low drop with high
combat and a great effect in limited environments.)

N-629 Misumi Tsurugi: Unique Talent
Well this week is Water Preview week, and we start
off with a fun card reviewed by your sexy guide into
the world of Naruto, Mr. N. Jolly...
Kicking off the week is Misumi, which most of you
will remember for not defeating Sasuke...yeah,
that's it. He's a T2 Water ninja with only two key
words, Sound and Male...yeah...his stats are 4/0 2/0
which aren't bad for his turn at all, but there's
not a lot to say about his base other than it's
pretty good for Water.
His ability however is pretty cool, allowing him to
almost be a 6/0 by dropping the stats of one ninja
on the opponent's side of the board by -2/-2 when he
attacks. That debuff will last into their turn too,
so they won't be able to just swing in after you do,
turning things into a slug fest. Now that T2 is
clear of Kabuto, he's the ninja of choice for the
turn unless we get some sweet new Demon Bros.
Constructed:3.75/5 Strong card with a solid effect
Limited:4/5 A card this strong can be hard to come
back from
Art: This just screams Hentai Fan
Fiction...literally screams it.../5

The first thing I noticed where his stats; he got
upgraded to Gaara stats, which is a good thing. His
effect is also a pretty strong one. On the attack,
he can knock an early game Ninja down by -2/-2. May
not seem like much, but he can be pretty sick in
Tempo-esque decks for his ability to make sure he's
the biggest ninja in play when he attacks. He seems
to be overshadowed by his teammate though, since he
doesn't provide an immediate advantage.
Limited: 4/5
Constructed: 3/5 (Less effective, but a solid card
nonetheless.)
