#6 - Shikamaru Nara & Asuma Sarutobi n860:

We are amidst the biggest and strongest squad cards this games, with this Squad definitely being one of them. With 5 support on Turn 5, easy playability, simple BR-winning, and protection from ninja effect, these guys are definitely noteworthy. Even at this point in the game, this guy, along with the S17 Asuma Sarutobi and the S6 Platoon version, this card is a big hit.

In limited, you cannot run this guy unless you pull a Shikamaru and an Asuma, and in Set 17, one only comes as an SR, so no thanks. In unlimited, this card works very well as one of the most powerful Squads still and wins games in Earth and Wind. In the Block format, the power of this card cannot be denied. An engine to go from behind to ahead in a couple turns is amazing.

Limited: 1.5/5
Unlimited: 3.5/5
Block: 4.5/5
