Wait... today's card doesn't have Mental? o.0
Today we're reviewing Asuma-Sensei's Genin Rush
helper version. When one of your all-Genin teams is
defeated, you draw a card. Pretty good, but is it
worth it? It really all depends on what sort of
Genin Rush deck you're running. I mean, a Jonin that
comes out at turn 4 (3 with Konohamaru) with no hand
cost, with 5 Combat, and a decent effect always
helps. Try it and see.

He's got decent healthy
stats, a good head ninja that can take 2 by himself.
The effect is nice to have, if your opponent
surprises one of your genin with a Jutsu or
something you get a card, or if you need to, you can
attack with genins into obvious defeats and draw a
card, though I would only suggest this if you have
enough ninjas to block with after one of your ninjas
gets pwned. He has been seeing a lot of play lately
because cards like Ino greatly weaken the benefits
of Support ninjas like Kurenai and Inoichi, and he
also can help you get your Asuma/Shikamaru platoon
into play. All in all, he's a great card that I
would play in constructed and limited above most
other 4 drops.

In order to
conclude Smokin' Male Emo Sissy Week (x2) I'll be
reviewing Asuma Saratobi [BBQ]. He's OK for turn 4
stat-wise, though Kakashi's better. I expected more
from the 3rd's son. Yes, ZOMG spoilers. ZOMG! A
SPOILER AHEAD--Will Kuranai's unborn son of his be
as pathetic as his soontobedead dad?----
Anyway, if Asuma's effect
goes off, you're doing bad. If you do good, he will
not. Just for that
C: 2.5

Next Time: Tomorrow is
Saturday. I'll be getting paid if you expect me to
make a review on Saturday!!!

Okay, today's card is
Asuma Sarutobi, which I think is slightly better
than reliable comrade. He is turn 4 and needs no
hand cost unlike reliable comrade. He has okay
stats, and now lets look at his effect. If a
team with only genin ninja is sent out to
attack, and they are defeated completely
defeated, or draw, you get to draw a card. Plus
it is valid.
Now let
us look at his effect more closely. One thing is
that by turn 4, will you have a team with only
genin ninjas. It also only works if they are
sent out to attack and not when they block. His
stats are good for a turn 4 ninja, but he is
earth, the least supported element so it might
not see much play. A pro is that is it is valid,
but if you use it I am not so sure about it. Try
it in an earth deck.
