Anna;
Future Shaman Queen
What's a
better way to end an Anna themed week than to
end it with the teamwork itself. "Anna; Future
Shaman Queen" is the end of the week pick. The
term "Shaman Queen" is a really bad line. It was
never directly said anywhere in the Japanese
Shaman King series (manga or anime). Anna just
wanted a simple life with Yoh, not some power or
title. I know it may seem that there isn't much
of a difference between being a "queen" and
having an easy life, but I believe there is.
Maybe it's a way to dodge over the sexism of the
Shaman "King" Tournament. In theory, if a girl
shaman were to win the tournament, she would
still be called the "Shaman King". Those Patch (Doblie,
for the English dub) are just old fashioned.
"Anna; Future Shaman Queen" has a trait
restriction of the Yoh team. This rare teamwork
card also costs 1 green and 1 yellow furyoku.
The card cost can be considered fairly cheap as
long as you use the card effect a few times. By
the 3rd time you use the effect, you can
consider the card paid off.
Anna has a furyoku replenishing effect of; "If
you counterattack from Anna's zone with a strike
that has a red or yellow in its cost, add a
green furyoku." The "cost" means the "card cost"
or from the rule book on page 4, "Base Cost."
This doesn't count from an effect cost. Since
alot of good strikes cost a red or yellow
furyoku, you would be using this effect often.
Both "Jaded Sphere" and "Purity of Mind" have a
red cost, so combining those with this teamwork
can be playable in an Anna deck on a casual
level. The problem with this card is you are
going to be gaining tons of extra green, but
still spending your yellow or red furyoku. A
better card to play would be "Joco; Jocular
Comedian." Check the spoiler list if you don't
know what he does, or come back next week for a
review! So "Anna; Future Shaman Queen" isn't
bad, but there is a better Yoh team traited card
out there than this. Since it's a rare card, it
would be harder to pull one in Sealed formats.
Casual: 2.5/5
Tournament: 2.5/5
Sealed: 2/5
