J-589 Kamui
Another day, another...review with Mr. N. Jolly.
Today's going to be a good day, so get ready for
danger and excitement, live for the now, and fight
the whale!
Today's card is Kamui, one of the SRs from FP. It's
a pretty nice card that has gotten a decent amount
of praise, but it's also hard to fit into decks.
Let's check out it's stats, shall we:
Kamui:
Cost:
Fire l Fire l Fire
Requirements: "Kakashi
Hatake" or "Itachi Uchiha"
Target: 1
Ninja
Effect: Place
the target in your Battle Reward area face down.
Set 15:
Super Rare
This is a card
that's both very expensive and has limited users,
just like our old friend DFC. But the problem with
this card is it's not quite as game ending as our
old friend, DFC. For three chakra with Itachi or
Kakashi you can turn any ninja on board into a BR.
That's pretty good, but the problem is that it has
a huge cost for what really amounts to a sniping
effect, something Fire can already do with Trigram
or M. Sharingan (which has the same
user restrictions, but adds another penalty).
Getting a BR may get you closer to the end of the
game, but this card is just a bit too expensive and
specific for the deck. It's still a great card, but
it's not worth it in most decks. Once we get Set
16, it's doubtful we'll see this card in play, but
for now it's a decent card.
Limited: 1.5/5
Users are what ruin it here, as you probably won't
draft one unless you're drafting with a starter and
two packs
Constructed: 2.5/5
A pretty average card, nothing broken, but maybe
this is a good direction for the game, making more
expensive snipe
Block: 2.5/5 Same
as constructed, no big changes here
Art: Deidara is
going to die...but not today!/5
