Beastly Mage
Tsunade
Today's card is a
new Super Rare from
Will of Fire. This
version of Tsunade
allows you to
redirect an
opponent's Jutsu to
her. How? Any Jutsu
that targets one of
your Ninjas will be
directed instead to
her. Although this
effect isn't valid,
it's still good when
you take into
consideration the
valid effect: when
one of your
opponent's Jutsus
target her, you can
discard two Wind
Chakras to bounce
that Jutsu back to
the hand after
negating it. If you
keep her healthy,
she can be doing
this all the time,
or make your
opponent think twice
about using a Jutsu.
In Limited, she
could be good. In
constructed, even
though she can't
heal any Ninjas with
her effect, she
could be good too,
particularly in
Block. Try it and
see!

Ah Tsunade. This is one of the supers in the set I
really can’t decide if I like or not. I pulled one
from my box and I haven’t decided if I want to use
it or not just yet. Let’s take a look and see what
we got.
It’s got above average Tsunade stats. 2 support and
injures to 5 instead of the usual 4. It doesn’t heal
my ninja. Hm…that’s one of the biggest reasons EoM
Tsunade is used. Although this one has an
interesting effect. Any of their jutsu with target
“1 ninja” have to target her. She can then pay 2
wind chakra to negate their jutsu that is targeting
her and move it to their hand. TO their hand…Ugh.
That’s where it fails. If I’m paying 2 chakra to
negate a jutsu, I want to get it out of their
access, not just have them be able to drop it on me
again right after the chain resolves. Given yes, it
can disrupt a chain, but they can still play the
jutsu again. It should not cost two chakra for such
a specific effect. It has to not only target her,
but you have to pitch the 2 chakra to just put it
back in their hand. Heck, her grandfather gets the
ability to pitch 2 chakra and remove the jutsu from
game. Why can’t she get the same as well? At the
very least, she should negate and send it to chakra.
I’d consider this card better maybe if it only cost
1 wind, or cost two colorless. At 2 wind, I think
the effect is too pricey for what it does.
For the time being, at least. Now, since Bandai has
said removal will get more expensive in the future,
I could see this Tsunade being more active in the
meta. For right now though, I’ll stick with EoM and
hold on to this one in my binder for when it might
be more useful.
Limited: 4/5 Beatsticks are nifty.
Block: 2.5/5
Unlimited: 2/5
Art: Look at her right arm. See that line below her
shoulder? IT’S EFFING WEIRD.
