Kakashi of the Sharingan
While the title above might seem inaccurate to the actual name of
today's card, I still like the nickname. Fitting of
Bandai to end our ANBU week with one of the
strongest ANBU ninjas to ever walk the Naruto world;
I'm referring to the manga and anime of course, but
does Kakashi Hatake (Anbu Days) measure up to
the same standards? Only one way to find
out....breakdown!
First thing I noticed on this card, aside from good artwork, was
the list of characteristics; all fit the usual of
what I expected for Kakashi but what made my day is
that he has Ambush. Off the bat this card is looking
amazing, duel element on top of a turn 4 with 0 hand
cost...very agreeable on all terms. His effect, of
course, is what makes this card shine, even amongst
various other Kakashi's; fitting a direct purpose to
a very optimal level (similar to other specific
Kakashi's, like his alternate dog specific form) and
pull of a great timed effect. Matter of fact,
looking at a previous card I could swear I'm seeing
the same imagery and specific purpose (grant it for
pups) http://www.pojo.com/naruto/cotd/2010/July/16.shtml ,
if the link here is cut...I'm showing the review of
Kakashi Hatake (Anbu Days) that pumps up ninja dogs.
Restating the additional part of his effect is
hashing the obvious, your getting a quick drop on
either your or your opponents turn. Overall I
approve of this card in any deck running at least
two Anbu's as well as being used by players who
grasp time based effects, since not every player out
there always goes by tournament level dueling
standards (nor should you all the time) ;).
Constructive: 4/5 (Let my Kakashi know no bounds)
Limited: ?/5 (As long as you have Anbu, your chances vary too much
to adequately label a score)
Block: 4.5/5 (I see this Kakashi fitting in quite nicely in this
format)
Art: A (While we see no action on the field, we get a close up of
Kakashi which is still awesome!)
