Today's card is an option for No-Effect Ninja decks.
It costs 5 Colorless, but its effect goes down by
one for each of your Ninjas that has no Effect Text.
In the right situation, this card can be used for
free. This Jutsu injures an opposing Ninja (it's not
damage), and then (it happens after the Status
Change) if that Ninja either has no Effect Text or
has its Effect Text negated it becomes a Stand-By
Ninja. So, this card is good for No-Effect Decks,
and can also be used against those decks too. Thing
is that there's better Jutsus that cause Status
Changes, and even more than rather give damage. It's
a cool choice, but it all depends on your deck as
well (Colorless cost can be good at times).
Today's card is a jutsu made for those new-fangled
"no-effect" ninja decks. Well, you could technically
play it in any deck, but it would suck. For five
colorless chakra, you injure a ninja. Obviously,
five chakra is not worth doing such a simple thing,
but the cost is reduced by one for each of your
no-hand ninjas. So at best, this card is a free
injury, and a possible standy-by if the target has
no/negated effect text. This can be accomplished
with cards like "Senju vs. Uchiha" or "Ninja Art:
Tile Shuriken" which are both good cards for
no-effect decks.
While this card isn't terribly game-winning, it is
quite good late game if you played Senju vs. Uchiha
since it will be free if you deployed a ninja every
turn (and they didn't die up until now. By turn 4,
you'll have five or more ninjas out on the field,
which will reduce Earth Dragon's cost to 0 since all
of your ninjas have no effect text.) and the
secondary effect goes off. Try it in a no-hand deck
if you have one.

Today we have a jutsu made specifically for the new
non-effect ninja from set 21. With a cost of any 5
chakra at first it seems steep but the cost gets
reduced by 1 for every non effect ninja you control
which should be a majority of your ninja so the
minimum it should cost should be 4 but as the game
flows, this jutsu will cost you next to nothing to
play. Now its first effect to injure a ninja
battling against it, is a decent effect but this
effect won't be winning you any Battle Rewards. The
power of this card is shown in the bonus effect
which is if the target is a non effect ninja/ or
negated effect text ninja, it becomes a stand-by
ninja. Now unless you are playing a mirror match I'm
sure not a lot of people will be using non effect
ninja especially on turn 3 and higher. So how you do
get this bonus effect? Play Senju vs. Uchiha which
will negate all ninja effects, allowing you to play
this card like a mini Fear by Genjutsu and allow you
to win those battles very quickly.
