Beastly Mage
Akamaru
This version of Akamaru is one that can help protect
your Ninjas from removal. When one of your other
Ninjas is targeted for removal by an opponent's
effect, you can (it's optional) move that Ninja back
to your hand. This is good against plenty of
effects, but he doesn't protect himself. In a Dog
deck he could fit right in. In other decks he could
be good sideboard material. The good thing about
this effect is that it's Valid AND he's a T1 that's
got Growth. Pretty good IMO. Try it and see!
No intro necessary, besides this: How many of you
duelist have played the dog deck? Seriously though,
Akamaru (Nose For Danger) drops another reason to
run this deck in the laps of any duelist who was
thinking the age old question "Who Let The Dogs
Out?"
Ah...always good to have a laugh, and when you
counter your opponents removal with this perfect pup
you'll be laughing all the way to battle rewards! I
mean, Turn 1 with decent stats, no hand cost, and a
valid anti-removal effect. The only downside on
Akamaru is that he really isn't negating the problem
of removal out right, rather he's offering duelist
with a much less painful alternative. Look hard
enough though and I guarantee this card has much
potential to be abused (no puns); somebody has to
running self-inflicting but cost effective jutsu's
out there somewhere! Let's also not forget our
fanatical pooch of power is growth, so even if your
more combo oriented you can easily get your bone and
bury it too! Short and sweet with this little dog
treat....guaranteed tomorrow's card is just as neat!
Constructed: 3.9/5 (Some people are saying I'm
rating too high but hey, a good card is a good card
while bad one's will know their place.)
Limited: 4/5 (Any and all counter defenses are good
defenses...trust me!)
Block: 3.5/5 (Slipping behind constructed simply
because my hopes of this cards usefulness is high,
but my expectations are not!)
Art: WOOF! (What else could I have said!!!)
