Beastly Mage
Minato Namikaze
Yes, we finally have the Fourth Hokage under his
real name!
Today's card is a Jonin version of the Yondaime. His
effect allows you to, during the Exchange of Jutsu,
to pay one Chakra (any color) to give one Damage to
an opposing Ninja. When that's done, you move Minato
back as a Stand-by Ninja. This effect can be useful
in a pinch. Not only does it work to damage a Ninja,
but it can also help you protect Minato. If he's
targeted by a Jutsu that says "Ninja battling
against the User", Minato can avoid that Jutsu. This
is one card that truly deserves the Super Rare spot.
the 4th hokage, rarely seen in the show and even
more rarely seen is impact from him on the format,
from the curse of the sands healer to todays yellow
flash, this blond really hasnt had too much fun. But
all that means is that the fourth is one great card
away from becoming a must-have in lightning
decks.....
the yellow flash is a turn 5 lightning ninja with an
effect that activates during the echange of jutsu.
for one of any chakra and his spot in the team, he
can give one damage to any opposing ninja. The
fourth has 5/3 6/4 stats, not great but he has the
team placement versitility that other turn 5's of
the element dont have. both oil and mental 2 are
nice as well.
lightning-turn 5 currently has kakashi and might guy
as their go-too ninja, and i doubt that will change.
While the fourth has some intresting strategic value
(sending as head ninja or alone to attack, only to
damage an opponents ninja and hide in the village)
but a reasonably good player will find too many ways
to play around him for it to matter. If yellow flash
has the ability to team jump like savior, this card
might be a lot better.
Competitivly, this card is another super you'd
rather not pull.
The yellow flash will be a competitor for the best
fourth variant post-rotation, so make sure to squirl
away a few copies if you plan on sticking around
after nationals.....
