Pain and Itachi Uchiha
 
Today's card is one Squad that can be splashed up to a certain point. Its effect lets you put it in play even if you only have one of the listed Ninjas (either Itachi or Pain's Deva Path) to Sacrifice. So, either Fire or Void can use this Squad. The characteristics on this card are a bit... INSANE! Rinnegan AND Sharingan, Mastery, and Satoosa as well are some of the characteristics that get to you. The stats are also great (no Mental though). The other part of the effect works good with the Void tactic involving Turn Marker control. When your Turn Marker is odd, you draw one card at the start of your turn (Start turn, draw card, then Draw Phase). When your Turn Marker is even you move your opponent's Turn Marker down by one. In a Void deck you can make this Squad come into play faster, and you can control your opponent's Turn Marker earlier in the game. It's a pretty wicked Squad, and looks even more wicked in its alternate art. Try it and see!
