 N.'s End
 Mono Water deck
Sept. 10, 2009

Another week, but this time I decided to hand things off to one of my team mates, as Water is not my specialty.  So for this week, you have my good friend Password from the Naruto boards looking over this deck.  Take it away!
 

Hey, password here reviewing a water/sound deck that was sent in by one of our pojo members. Its heading in the right direction but it can use some fine tuning. Lets take a look.

T0's:
2 Kin Tsuchi - The Rear Guard
2 Zaku Abumi - Sonic Impact
1 Sakura - Double Personality
2 Ranmaru - Glowing Eyes
1 Ino Yamanaka - Get Well Soon Gift
2 Sasuke - Vanilla (Only if i can get them this sunday. If not probably replace with something else. Prob Anko Mitarash - Pupil of Orochimaru)

The first thing I noticed when looking at the t0's of this deck was the lack of haku (childhood). Cards a monster. Id definatly put 2-3 of those in. Also, Anko is a good choice if your cant get Sasuke. I also like Ino (E) more than GWSG. You might wanna test it out and decide for yourself. The rest is pretty decent.

 T1's:
2 Dosu Kinuta - Sonic Impact
1 Kimimaro (Childhood) - The Last Warrior of the Clan

I think every deck needs to have temari ws. Its just too good to pass up. Solid stats that allows a free peak at the opponents hand and nets a card from it? And on t1? Yes plz.

T2's:
1 The Demon Brothers Gouzu - Same Wavelength
1 The Demon Brothers Meizu - Same Wavelength
1 Yoroi Akado - Unique Talent
1 Gaara of the Desert - Tragic Name
1 Squad: Kin, Dosu, Zaku

The new Yoroi is too good not to use at least 2 of. 

T3's:
1 Haku - Creed
1 Temari - Strong Wind
1 Sasuke Uchiha - Living in the Dark World

Since we are using the t1 Temari, we can ditch this one. Also, haku camo is the better choice over Creed. Camo helps you assure you pull off your big techniques. Also, Kabuto (Database) is one of the best cards in the game. If you can get them, you should put 2-3 in here. Being able to hit your missions consistantly is a big deal for water since it needs its chakra.

T4's:
1 Aoi Rokusho - Impeder

If you can get them, Sasuke CH is a great choice for t4. Also, Shizune MK is a great splash since water lacks good healing.

T5's -
2 Raiga Kurosuki - Seven Swordsman of the Mist
1 Kisame Hoshigaki - Chakra Eater Sword
1 Kisame Hoshigaki - Mysterious Man from the Hidden Mist Valley
1 Kidomaru - How to Beat the Game (Yes, not a 5, but since im not playing Power of State   2 YET, i have one and might change the deck around to play all 4 sound ninja, I count it as a 5)

Your t5's really need some cleaning up. You need to choose on a kisame and since we put childhood haku in, we need a zabuza or 2.

T6's:
1 Second Hokage - The Hokage Level
1 Orochimaru - Temporary Vessel

I would use Orochimaru Presence and the new EA 2nd Hokage if you can get it. If not, the DRAW 2nd works nicely too.

T7's:
1 Manda - Offerings

I do like this as a fun tech. We will have to see if it makes the cut in the final build. First, lets take a look at your jutsu and mission line-up.

JUTSU'S:
1 Long Sword Shark Skin
2 Water Style: Exploding Water Shock Wave
2 Thunder Funeral: Feast of Lightning
2 Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu
1 Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu (If Second Hokage is the user, move 3 Discards to Chakra)
2 Razor Chain
1 Senbon
1 Water Style: Water Shark Bomb Jutsu

I would use the water dragon that lets u flip x coins to do damage over the one your using. Also, Furious Current Jutsu is one of water's best jutsu since it can be used as early as t0-t2 to mess up your opponents early game. Since you are using Razor Chain, we will throw Zabuza (DocV) in your deck to make it more effective.

MISSIONS:
1 Meaning of Life
1 Appearance of Unknown Rivals
1 Bingo Book
2 Dark Ritual
1 Ninja Info Cards
1 Captivity

To make early chakra for your newly added Currents, you want to max out of Bingo Book or Hidings (whichever you can get). I would also get some more Apperance in there as well. Water needs as much draw as it can get. I have also found secret meetings to be quite the game winner.

Lets clean this up into a final copy:

3x Haku (Childhood)
3x Anko (Childhood)
2x Ino (E)
2x Sasuke (CTS)

2x Temari (WS)
3x Kabuto (D) or Shikamaru formation

2x Yoroi (UT)

1x Shikamaru (U) or Gaara tn or Haku Camo

1x Kankuro (T)
1x Salamander (LW)

1x Sasuke (CH) or Aoi
2x Shizune (MK)

2x Kisame (FM)
2x Zabuza (DOCV)

2x 2nd Hokage (MH) or DRAWKAGE
1x Orochimaru (P)

2x Threat of the Tailed Beast
3x Hiding
2x AOUR
2x Secret Meeting

3x Water Vortex Jutsu
3x FCJ
3x Water Dragon Jutsu
2x Razor Chain 

I think this build will run a bit smoother. Try it and see!

Keep sending your decks so me and my man N. Jolly can help you out and give you our opinions.
