N-715 Mahiro [HIDDEN BLADE]
Man, what a weird weekend. Got a new vid up on my
youtube account (MechieSomay) featuring Freedori and
the effects it would have if reprinted. It's not
pretty...but what is would be subbing to the
channel...no shame, that's what I've got! But yeah,
looking forward to this week and glad to know the
locations of the SJC events, it seems like my team
(JSN) will be able to hit a few in the area.
Today's card kind of continues Gaiden week, and
we have yet another Stone ninja in Mahiro. He's a
pretty reliable guy, so let's check out his stats,
shall we:
T2 HC0 Earth
Rock | Male | Ambush
3/2 0/2 CA: Stone
Set 16: Common
I again like this guy, despite his lack of a
rank. Ambush on a T2 is a cool thing, male isn't
really bad, although chicks hate him! And Rock as a
village...it means nothing. Stone combat attribute
gives him access to Petrifying Attack, which could
be a centerpiece jutsu in this deck, and I really
like his power. Great support ninja healthy or
injured with a put into play effect, that's cool!
But now onto his redundant effect, shall we:
[LIGHTNING SPEED]
When this Ninja is put in play, you can change 1 of
your opponent's Ninjas with an Entrance cost of 0 to
injured status.
I like this more than Friday's card (I've decided
I was sick that day), if only because while hitting
a T1 is nice, it's honestly very likely your
opponent has a T0 out, while they may have avoided
playing a T1 onto the field. Hitting a T0 isn't
always very important, but it's worth playing a guy
with ambush and a decent CA. If these guys were
Weapon/Stone, I would love them so very, very much.
This is another card that makes drafting quite
good, and it adds a lot to the element, again giving
you a reason to want to go second. In both idea and
execution, these are good cards.
Limited: 4/5 Great draft, a first or second pick
every time.
Constructed: 2.5/5 If not for the power creep here,
it'd be beautiful
Block: 2.5/5 Same here, and will drop when set 11
leaves the block
Art: He's like the snooty waiter you don't want to
get, and then you slowly learn to hate over the
course of several years...no, this did not happen to
me.../5
