Beastly Mage
The First Hokage
This card is one that makes the Reward Flip Deck
shine. First effect makes it possible to disrupt
your opponent's strategy late-game. When he comes to
play, your opponent skips the Mission Phase. No
Mission Phase during your opponent's turn = No
Organization Phase. This could make it possible for
a quicker victory. The second effect is Valid, and
gives your opponent's Ninja and Mission cards
(in-hand) +1 Entrance Cost for each of your
opponent's face-up Battle Rewards. So, that means
that if you have been able to flip 9 Rewards, your
opponent will have a bit of trouble putting a few
cards in play. Now, there are ways to put this guy
in play earlier, and I think you know what Jutsu I'm
talking about. Try it and see!

==================================
2/28/10 N-894 The First Hokage [The Creator]
==================================
Today's card is one of the more mediocre super rares
from set 18. His previous incarnation, [Supremacy]
from set 17, overshadows this card in nearly every
way. The first effect for [The Creator] is rather
nice; making your opponent miss their mission phase
is crucial and can lead to a game win if played
right. His second effect, on the other hand, is
nearly useless. By turn 6, your opponent probably
won't have too much trouble playing missions/clients
with higher entrance costs since most of the most
played ones don't go past turn 3. Additionally, most
Battle Reward flipping decks will turning face up
BRs face down again with cards like set 18 Deidara
and Asuma.
Ironically, this card was built to help BR flipping
decks, but [Supremacy] helps these decks better,
even though it was released before the deck type was
created. [Supremacy] allows the player to return two
of your opponent's BRs to your hand, but with
flipping, you can see what you are getting, so you
can take what you need for the moment; he basically
adds two cards two your hand while making it more
difficult for your opponent to win.
The only way that this card can trump [Supremacy] is
if you bring it out early game with "Exposing The
Hideout" so you can do early game shutdowns.
Otherwise, run [Supremacy].
Limited: 2/5
Unlimited: 2/5
Block: 3/5
Trivia: This is the first time we get a First Hokage
in a set without a Second Hokage counterpart.
