Welcome to
another week of exclusive reviews, Naruto fans.
Today's card is Hayate Gekko [A Spy]. This card does
something many of those facing the new Ambush
mechanic like to see. It actually stops your
opponent from deploying Ninjas through that
mechanic. Unfortunately it also stops you from doing
so. Still, this card rocks in so many ways! The
stats are better than his Mission-Negating form, and
you won't lose him after using his effect. In
limited, he could be of some help if your opponent
drafted Akatsuki Ninjas. In constructed, he's a good
sideboard option. Try it and see!
Ratings:
Limited: 3/5
Constructed: 3/5

Hayate Gekko
[A Spy]
This is an interesting card. It was made to
counteract a game effect that just came into effect
last set. Weird thing is, ambush isn’t all that
prevalent…Also it doesn’t seem to be much of a
problem in the meta. It counts as a normal drop, and
your opponent loses a chakra (the ninja itself) to
get it in play. This Hayate prevents both players
from doing ambush, so don’t play this card when you
are running Itachi [Goal]. If ambush becomes really
prevalent, or if they change the rules on how ambush
works (as if it doesn’t count as deployment for the
turn.) But I don’t see that happening. It’s got
great stats for a turn 3, but I think I’d rather use
DAP or the new one that we got in Approaching Wind.
