Sealing Jutsu: Breaking the Lion's Roar
Today's card is one that, up to now, only Granny
Chiyo and Sasori can use. It requires the user to be
a Manipulation Ninja with a turn cost of 4 or more.
Requirements aside, this is a good Jutsu. To remove
one Ninja battling against the user from play, and
then remove all the copies of that Ninja from your
opponent's deck... it's simply crazy! If you run a
Puppet deck, this could be a good option for Removal
Jutsus. Try it and see!

J-502 Sealing Barrier: Breaking the Lion's Roar
Hurray for today, N. Jolly has Skype! And my name on
it is n.jolly, so hit me up if you are on there, I'm
generally up for fun! And on a related note, I'm
also afraid of Skype in the same way that I am
afraid of bears.
Today's card is one of the SRs out of the new set,
Sealing Barrier: Breaking the Lion's Roar. Unlike
some people, I genuinely like this card. It's cost
is Wind/Wind/Wind and it requires a manipulation
ninja of T4 or higher, which means it's only users
are Chiyo, Sasori, and Temari/Kankuro, which isn't a
bad line up that Wind is probably already running.
The cost is pretty expensive though, making it
vulnerable to Gigantic Fan, which is being ran in
threes in any deck with Wind.
It's effect though is very powerful. It targets one
ninja target battling the user, and it removes it
from the game. But after it does that, you can
search your opponent's deck and remove all copies of
it from the game. That right there can wreck up a
theme deck, but the problem is, we already have
Sealing Barrier for that. It's a nice removal jutsu
for Wind, which is nice, but it's costed too high to
help out the element.
I could see running this in a puppet deck, but
Chiyo's jutsu has a better cost and for the most
part a better (if not more risky) effect that can be
tutor'd off of her effect, and that's just too good
to ignore.
Constructed:2/5 Just not as good as it could be.
Limited:1/5 Not really any users here...

Sealing Jutsu: Breaking the Lion's Roar
This card would be fantastic if it weren't so
strict. There's like, what, 3 or 4 Ninja that are
capable of using this, but it's pretty harsh,
especially if you're going against those decks built
around one ninja. My biggest problem with this card,
aside from the Requirements is the fact that your
opponent can still keep any copies of that Ninja
they may have in their hand. It kinda sucks to
Lion's Roar your opponent's Gaara IP just to have
them play another from their hand.
Limited: 1/5
Constructed: 2/5

Sealing Jutsu: Breaking the Lion's Roar
Another day, another card and boy do we ever love
getting super rares for puppets...no sarcasm...
Lion's Roar is essentially the demi-Sealing Barrier
in jutsu form and to be honest, it seems more
accessible. Only three we know of can use this
jutsu: Chiyo, Sasori, and Temari & Kankuro Platoon.
This jutsu is pretty sweet to say the least. It
really does punish your opponent, especially when
they don't have a jutsu to counter it.
Granted the targeting isn't top notch, but the RFG
effect is certainly more than redeeming. The cost
though....*sigh* Just one chakra too much in my
opinion. I mean, its cost is more demanding than the
other recent three jutsu's that were released that
other Manipulation/Sasori can use. Overall, this one
might not see much play considering the other
jutsu's out there that cost less and aren't as
specific in the cost. I just wish it could've been
two wind instead of three.
Limited: 2/5 *good luck pulling an uncommon Chiyo or
an unplayable Sasori*
Constructed: 3/5
