Today's card is one that's seen some action where I
come from. This new version of Kotetsu has a few
stats that make it a good choice for the new
Shikamaru deck. Mental of 1, and Proctor... you know
what I'm talking about!
Now, on to his effect: when he's the back Ninja in
the same team as his partner Izumo then the head
Ninja can't be affected by your opponent's Jutsus.
That can be good, but remember that the back Ninjas
are left vulnerable (if we only read this effect). I
only see him as good material for the new Proctor
deck. Try it and se.
Ratings:
Limited: 3/5 (pretty solid for his turn)
Constructed: 3/5 (Proctor deck)
Art: Remember not to get cut shaving.../5

Thursday 7/1 - Kotetsu Hagane [Cool Assistant]
Pros: He's a proctor born to work with Shikamaru,
and decent stats with a cool effect to protect
against Gaara jutsus and the like.
Cons: You need Izumo, and as I've said, I'm not a
fan of character specific stuff.
That said, he's decent at best. I can't see him
having much play at the moment, but if Proctors
start seeing play, he's a possibility.
Constructed: 2.0 out of 5.0 (Can't see it quite
yet.)
Limited: 3.0 out of 5.0 (Decent stats.)

N-533 Kotetsu Hagane
Puppets, Sound 4...and now, sidekicks? What a
week...
Now we're looking at the T2 Kotetsu. He has pretty
good stats, 3/2 0/2, fire and genjutsu, which is
actually pretty nice, and he has mental and is a
proctor, which might help out Shikamaru Proctor. So
far so good.
The effect here is very specific: When Kotetsu is
chilling with his buddy Izumo, and they're in the
back row, the head ninja is unable to be affected by
your opponent's jutsu. That'd be pretty nice if that
head was Shika...ya know, so he couldn't get sucker
punched. Seems to help out the Proctor deck a bit,
and the genjutsu theme a bit, but it seems like a
fun card more than anything else.
Rating
Constructed:2.5/5 The definition of average.
Limited:1/5 You'd have to pull both to have a
chance...and this card's "No way FR Limited is
possible" rating is Izumo and I hate our jobs/5
Art:5/5 He's not carrying books, which is a big step
up for Kotetsu.

So if he's in the same team as Izumo, the head ninja
can't be touched by jutsu. It's cute, but that's
about it. The fact that he has to be in Izumo's team
is pretty bad. That's way too big a restriction for
such a mundane effect IMO. Everything else about him
is ok.
Limited: 1/5
Constructed: 1/5

Hey there guys, this is our last day for reviews.
Tomorrow we're taking it off due to July 4th so
happy holidays to you all :). Today's card is:
Kotetsu Hagane N-533
Well the latest print of this dude has the same
stats and characteristics. However he's extremely
useful in conjunction with FR's Shikamaru and also
hits the curve with him. Not only that but when he's
together with his partner in crime, Izumo Kamizuki,
he also makes the head ninja unaffected by your
opponent's jutsus, not that this is not valid. Not
bad I'd say, but there's still not a 100% working
deck that includes this guy, his friend and
Shikamaru so we'll see in a later on future as more
support surely comes in.
Limited: 2/5 (Average ninja)
Constructed: 3/5 (Nice with shikamaru)
