Beastly Mage
Burst of Power
This is one mission that is a bit... "MEH!"
Taijutsu/Surge decks are stating, but I don't see
this card being that useful at this moment. It works
when you Surge a Ninja. Once that Ninja is surged
you draw a card. Pretty easy, right? Problem is that
this only happens if ALL of your Ninjas are Taijutsu
Ninjas. So, unless you have few Ninjas out and it
happens that all of them are Taijutsu, I don't think
this card is worth the space at the moment.
Lightning are in great need of drawing. Limited in
draw power, Burst of Power doesn't work for any deck
type except Taijutsu. Even then, it also requires
Surge. When I say require...well let's look at the
effect.
"Effect: When 1 of your "taijutsu" ninjas is surged,
if all of your ninjas are "taijutsu" ninjas, draw 1
card"
Step one, surge a ninja
Step two, all ninjas on your side need to have
taijutsu as an attribute
In a taijutsu deck, is this card really gonna help?
Let's take a look at the ninjas that can surged and
are of Taijutsu attribute
n649 Gitai (turn 1)
n913 Rock Lee (turn 0)
n915 Might Guy (turn 5)
n963 Sasuke Uchiha (turn0)
n969 Might Guy (turn 5)
n971 Naruto Uzumaki (taijutsu) (turn 0)
To play burst of power, we need one of these cards
to get surged. It's likely to use the effect
between the gap but this card is a turn 2 mission...
okay turn 2 to turn 5, it's usable. Gitai is great,
Rock Lee isn't bad, Sasuke is good, Might Guy is
great, Naruto is not so bad either but that's it.
Assuming we run 3 of each card, it's a surge ninja
card so it's justified to run 3, we have 15 ninjas
cards that can get past step 1. It's not a bad card
for a focused taijutsu deck. It doesn't even have a
hand cost, nice.
Block: 3.5/5
no hand cost tho needs a surge ninja, still, it's
not hard to pull off
unlimited: 1/5
rare for a player to use taijutsu in unlimited..

Burst of Power M-708:
This card is GREAT for strictly-Taijutsu decks that
plan to use Surge. This card works great with Rock
Lee N-913 from Set 18, in that you can discard ANY
Taijutsu ninja in your hand to +2/+2 and draw a
card. Additionally, if you have the Set 19's Might
Guy N-969 in play, you can draw as many times as you
have ninjas to discard with Rock Lee's effect. Also,
for the deck, there is Set 19's Sasuke Uchiha N-963,
Set 19's Naruto Uzumaki (Taijutsu) N-971, and Set
15's Gitai N-649.
Constructed - 2/5
(I'm not sure how playable Taijutsu-Surge is in
Unlimited, but personally, I wouldn't see it going
anywhere in that format)
Limited - 1/5
(This card is horrible unless you have the right
deck built around it, which is basically impossible
in Limited)
Block - 3.5/5
(If you can draw this and Rock Lee N-913, you
basically have an extra card every turn, helping you
draw the Taijutsu OTK)
