The Third Hokage [Adamantine Nyoi]
This version of the Third makes Monkey King Enma
a lot more playable. The effect allows you to
discard two chakras to search for one Monkey King in
your deck, and place it in your hand after showing
it to your opponent. Then, during the exchange of
Jutsu you can discard a Monkey King to give this guy
5/+5 during the turn. Let's say you already have a
Monkey King out (making this guy a 10 power Ninja).
If you discard the one in your hand... OUCH! In
limited, he's not that useful, since drafting the
Monkey King is a bit hard. But in his own deck this
guy is pretty close to unstoppable. Try it and see.

the third hokage (adamantine nyoi)
okay... this card is, hmmmmmm, how to put it. 6
turn, 5/3 3/2, and three mental. its stats are
subpar compared to others sandaimes, its effect is
underwhelming, you can pay two chakra to search for
enma, and you can discard enma to boost him 5/5 for
the one turn. now, if you look at it, its
essentially roar of the ogre with a bigger cost but
a longer life span. i seriously don't see this
thing being played competitively due to the inherent
uselessness enma is on its own, and only mildly
useful otherwise. i understand how bandai is trying
to make unplayed cards playable, but with this third
they failed
constructed 1/5
limited 1/5, only because pojo won't let me give it
a 0, also do you really expect to pull both this guy
and enma?
(Pojo note: Yes, the
lowest rating is a 1. Why? Well ... this
goes back to the Pojo Pokemon & YGO Magazines &
Books. When we rated cards, the publishers
didn't want to leave a blank space, or write "zero
stars". So we made the lowest card rating be a
1.00. We used Pokeballs and Millennium Puzzles
back then to rate them. 1 pokeball was a sucky
card. And if we ever do a Naruto Book,
the lowest card rating will again be a 1.00. I
guess we'll have to use Leaf Symbols or something.
Let's try it above for fun today. Oh, and we
always rounded to a whole number too. ;-)

Well this one works with the
monkey king. Search for an extra 5/5 and use
it if needed. Promotes bad hand and chakra
management, but still. 5/5 is a heck of a
boost. 10/8 will run over anything. Not
Valid though.
Useless in limited, due to the
fact that there are no Enmas in this set.
Limited: 1/5
Constructed: 3.4/5

3rd hokage: Adamantine Nyoi
N. Jolly, always first with the
news that matters to you! Again this week, I see
dead people in the form of the 3rd hokage(Man, he's
an active corpse), now with his handy dandy Goku
style pole! What this card will do is allow
you to burn two chakra off to search for your
monkey(King Enma) in your deck and bring him to your
hand. Seeing as the monkey is a 5/5, 4/4, he's
quite helpful, especially considering he can't come
out unless his senior buddy is there as well.
But he can also discard the monkey to get a +5/+5
boost during the EOJ, which basically gives the win
in most cases. Now I like this 3rd more than
the one earlier this week, and would have no problem
giving up two chakra for a 5/5 in hand. Sadly,
he has the same garbage stats, 5/3, 3/2, so don't
put too much faith in his ability not to die.
So dust off your Monkey King Enmas and get ready to
make a monkey deck!
Constructed: 3.75...APW is still
around
Limited: 1...if you find a way to
get it's effect off, I will shake your hand.
