Neji Hyuga
Another Neji?
Yeah, and this one's a Genin.
Today's card is actually pretty good. Let's take the
first effect into consideration: No Ninjas in the
field at turn 1 OR they're all injured at turn 1...
even though this guy's a turn 2, he can still be
deployed since at that moment his turn cost just
went down by 1.That's pretty nice, since in Limited
you can sometimes find yourself with an empty
village at turn 1.
Then comes the second effect. When he's sent out to
block, he gets +2/+0, meaning he's a 5/0 (without
growth) when he's blocking during the turn. A
pump-up is always good, trust me. To top it off that
effect is valid!
Will this card replace [Sealing the Abilities]?
Don't think so, but it's still pretty good.
Ratings:
Limited: 3.5/5
Constructed: 4/5

So today I'd like to type about a card that has been
pretty over-looked by the community, but is very
stable. Neji Hyuga Coolness and Passion.
Now along with a very cool name, Neji is very strong
when going against a tempo or rush deck. He can be
deployed on turn 1 if you have all injured ninjas or
none at all. He also becomes a 5/0 5/0 while
blocking, a number few ninjas can match on turn 2.
Very nice indeedz.
Now obviously the more consistent choice will be set
12's neji, but when going against rush decks, he
could really help. That makes him side-board
material if nothing else.
Overall, he's kind of a tool card, in which I mean a
card that covers a certain strategy better than most
cards but is not overall great. He'll proly see some
play this format, or maybe even next, we'll see.
Constructed: 3 out of 5. Very good answer to a
strategy.
Art: 5 out of 5. Name alone would've been ubz, but
the art is really good too.

Neji Hyuga [Coolness and Passion]
Man, there are some really cool Neji in this set.
When going out to Block, this card jumps to a 5/0,
while ducking under Shikamaru [Formation]. And if
you've got nothing but Injured Ninja or no Ninja at
all, this card comes out a turn earlier as well.
This is one of those general use cards, but people
may play [Sealing the Anilities] over this one
because turning off Ninja effects is just better
plan.
