Awkward Thinking
Today's card is yet another Super Rare. This time
we have a Mission. Awkward Thinking lets you place a
Growth Coin on one of your Ninjas. Then, you can
remove any number of Growth Coins on your Ninjas to
draw that same number of cards. This is good for a
deck with that sort of strategy (placing Growth
Coins). Just to make it clear: this works for Growth
Coins, not -1/-1 Coins or any other Coin you place
on a Ninja. It doesn't remove Insect Coins either.
Pretty good in any format, though better in
Block. Try it and see!

M-781 Awkward Thinking
I don't know why, but my friends and I like to
call this card "Dreams of Ice Cream." I guess it's
more fun to say than Awkward Thinking. Anyway,
today's preview is one of the few pieces of draw
power that lightning gets post rotation. It allows
you to place a growth coin on a ninja and then
remove any number of growth coins to draw the same
amount of cards. It's obvious use is on Danzou
(until he potentially gets the erratum to say his
growth coins are +1+1 coins), but it also works
great with Hokage Rocks. Of course, if you are
running this mission you will want 3 copies of all
your ninja, and the more with growth the better. I'm
not honestly sure why this card had a turn 4
entrance cost, since it seems like it could work
well enough on turn 2 (at which you could
potentially have 2 growth coins). Either way,
between this and Disaster, you have Lightning's draw
power post rotation.
Limited: 1/5 Probably going to be hard to get off
in limited.
Unlimited: 1/5 Lightning has Group Lesson and
Messenger Ninja...you probably wouldn't bother with
this.
Block: 3.5/5 Not many other options to draw cards in
Lightning.
