===========================================
N-934 Sasuke Uchiha (State2) [Power Of The Curse Mark]
===========================================

I doubt anyone couldn't figure out what the top card of 2010 was. Sasuke (State 2) was the obvious and unanimous choice. Giving all of your Water ninjas invincibility tends to be a game ending effect. The only way to get around this monster is by playing Zetsu [Mysterious Nature] and hope your opponent doesn't have Kigiri out or a Zetsu of their own. There is not much to say about him other than he is ungodly powers. His stats are massive and he has Mastery and Jonin making him a deadly jutsu user in block. He is also very easy to get out since every Water deck will be running three Sasukes with an EC of 4 or more, whether it be Sasuke [Eyes of the Serpent], [Eyes of the Hawk], [Initial Attack], or [Severing The Bond].

With so many good cards, 2010 might as well be the year of the Sasuke for the card game.

Limited: 2/5 Awesome if you got this and Sasuke [Vengeful Spirit] (The only viable Sasuke in this format)
Constructed: 5/5
Block: 5/5

Sasuke Uchiha [state 2]
 
The number one card... THE card... Well... We all saw this coming.
 
For obvious reasons, Sasuke Uchiha in his state 2 form is number one.  Why?? I don't see any downsides.  It doesn't just protect himself but every water ninja you have.  It's from the reinforcement pile so it doesn't take up space or does it ever become dead draw.  It doesn't have strings attached.  Good stats and tough to take down except by brute force but that's tough to pull off.  It carrying the name Sasuke Uchiha and have Sharingan (which doesnt matter in a water deck) it is able to use some of the strongest Sasuke Jutsu cards.  Making this card, the ace of your deck and winning condition.
 
Great design to boot.
 
This, even more so than Suigetsu's Joy, is the most wanted banned card for this rotation.  Our number 2 stop's potential plans but State 2 almost seals a victory.
