This is one of the better Jiraiyas. Having a Naruto
= Jutsu back every turn free of cost. Sannin is
good, Oil is good for Gamabunta (Gamabunta and
Naruto, anyone?), stats are very good; 7 is big, and
he still has 6 when injured, even if you don't keep
getting free jutsus. Lightning'll probably have
something to heal him with, though.

Friday's card Jiraiya,
Instruction of a Forbidden Technique, a new rare
from Eternal Rivalry. This is the card that makes
MonoLightning somewhat possible and one of the cards
that make Toad Decks especially shine. As long as
you have a Naruto Uzumaki on the field, you can
return a Jutsu from the discard pile to the hand. By
the time Jiraiya comes out, you more than likely
won't need Naruto around for attacking. I'm not sure
if the Naruto/Gamabunta platoon would count as a
target for Jiraiya's effect, but ultimately, you can
replay a host of Jutsus from Kunai, Shadow Clone
Jutsu, Summoning Jutsu and even Rasengan to a Jutsu
of another element. It doesn't matter what the
element of the Jutsu is; as long as the conditions
are met, Jiraiya's effect makes sure you have a
Jutsu to play on your turn.
Limited:3/5(really depends on if you pulled a Naruto
to use the effect)
Constructed:4/5(perhaps the best rare in Eternal
Rivalry, abuse it)

Happy Friday, Naruto fans. Today's card is another
rare. This Jiraiya has great stats, as well as the
Oil atribute. His effect is a bit on the "Meh" side.
You need to have a Naruto out on the field so you
can recover a Jutsu from your discard pile. He's a
nice addition to Lighting/Oil decks, but still, I
don't know how much you'll be able to get his effect
to kick in. Still, for a deck that depends on such
cards as Rasengan and Summoning Jutsu, he can be
useful.

Today we are looking at Mr. Big Shot himself,
Jiraiya from Eternal Rivalry. As most of the cards
we have reviewed this week he has the same stats and
attributes as his earlier versions. He is a turn 6
Lightning. What makes a ninja a ninja is his effect.
His effect allows you to take jutsu card from your
discard pile to your hand if you have a Naruto in
play. This guy is most commonly used with the
Naruto/Gamabunta Platoon to get back one those
killing jutsu. Either way, Jiraiya has its uses in
the right build. All Lightning decks should be
running Naruto and to keep getting back Jutsu cards
is never a bad thing. For me, I still like the turn
5 Jiraiya since Fourth Hokage usually holds the turn
6 spot. Jiraiya is nice in limited with those killer
stats.
