Beastly Mage
Moonlight
Rasengan
This is one version of the Rasengan that has been
seeing a lot of play lately. With Prince client
cards being so popular lately, it only makes sense
this card would also pop up in a few decks.
Moonlight Rasengan gives Naruto (with clone status)
+7/0 and a battle reward (if a victory or
outstanding victory is won). But, if there's a "Land
of Moon" Client in play on your side (like, let's
say, a Prince) you get two battle rewards instead of
one. Even though only Naruto can use this Jutsu,
there's many ways of pulling this off. Try it and
see.

Limited: 3/5

Moonlight Rasengan
This will be our last preview of the week, so enjoy
the holidays, pull some good stuff from your packs!
Circus theme again…ugh…Well, I guess this version of
Rasengan isn’t ba…..you know what? I don’t care if
it is the holidays. I’m not gonna lie, this card
flat out sucks. Only one user? Check. Needs a
specific client in play to get the added effect?
Check. Super Rare? Check. Same power as other cards
sharing a similar name? Check. Yep, this card has
all the markings for a terrible card. Why is this a
super? I’d rather have a rare from this set than
this piece of junk. Unless you are running the
circus theme, or the new starter deck Naruto platoon
for fun (and you should never run that car unless
it’s for fun either…) prepare to let this thing
collect dust in your binder. It’s about as useful as
that new Naruto & Sakura platoon we got in this set…
Limited: 3/5 (Not hard to draft a Naruto)
Constructed: 1/5 (Wish I could go lower.)
Art: Oh so many jokes with this one: “Elune be
praised!” “In the name of the Moon, I will punish
you!” “Naruto used Moonlight! Naruto restored HP!”
Heh, I can keep going too…

Moonlight Rasengan- 2 Lightning and 1 random. Usual
+ 7 for a rasengan. When it wins a victory or
outstanding victory, you get a reward. If you have a
Land of moon client you get 2 rewards. I like it. It
is very good with the starter deck naruto because
you search for the prince, he get clone status, and
you can play this. Good with the naruto-shadow clone
platoon because then it becomes 1 lightning. :)
Limited:4/5(the two best ones to use him with come
in the starter)
Constructed: 3/5 Never saw a Rasengan deck, but i
could see it having potential.

Moonlight Rasengan
This is one of the best Rasengans available aside
from the fact that it isn't technically Rasengan
(longer name). Basically, it's a normal Rasengan,
but you get 2 BRs after the battle (because you'll
be using this in a Prince deck, obviously). The
thing is, this:
Prince Deck
Turn 0: Drop Naruto, get Prince, drop Idate, attack
if you went second
Turn 1: Drop Lee/Sakura and draw, go in for a bunch
of attacks
Turn 2: Drop Gaara, Sumaru, Lee or Sakura and go for
attacks, drawing more and more cards fast
Turn 3: Drop another Ninja like the new Temari
(HUGE!) and go in for more quick attacks
Turn 4: Charge Chakra. Use Naruto Vs. Sasuke to send
out your army of Genin. You'l get 2 more for each
win, and a further 4 from Naruto's battle (Rasengan's
2 + NvS's 2) for game.
Anything after: Drop Kakashi and draw more. Use
Michiru to draw more. Use Jiraiya [Prescence] for
even more rewards while you drop huge Jutsu cards.
So yes, this card is excellent in a Prince deck for
a huge pump and 20% of the way closer to victory,
and it allows the deck to win even without Naruto
Vs. Sasuke.
5/5
Art: Sweet
Fun Fact: Screw the yules, I have money.
The Poo Toucher
Today we will covering Moonlight Rasengan from the
new set approaching wind. For 2 lightning chakra and
1 any you can give your naruto+clone status +7/+0,
then if you manage to win a victory or outstanding
victory you gain 1 battle reward, 2 if you have a
prince client on the table.
This card is seeing a lot of play in the new Naruto
vs. Prince deck. Naruto vs. Prince is a lightning or
lightning/x deck that uses the prince mechanic (naruto,
rock lee, sakura & kakashi along with michiru) along
with the Naruto vs. Sasuke mission card. The idea is
that you are going to be playing a naruto who has
clone status on turn 0, so this card will win you 2
battle rewards a majority of the time bringing you
that much closer to winning the game by droping the
ever popular NVS.
Speaking as a competitive player, I am not a fan of
this card. In lightning you have shadow clone jutsu
from eternal rivalry and the only thing that
moonlight does better is maby score you 2 battle
reward, I just don't feel that the 1 user requirment
isn't worth it. By no means am I saying that this is
a bad card, but in this game you have 50 slots, only
about 10 of which are jutsu. In this element there
are 3-4 jutsu that I would gladly play above this
card, and that makes it hard to fit this in.
All together, if you're going to play the naruto vs.
prince deck, it's worth a try as a 1 of.
Competitive: 2 out of 5. Just a little too
underwhelming for a 1 user jutsu.
Limited: 4 out of 5. Pulling a super in a format
with naruto guard of the prince is great
Art: 1 out of 5. would've dug it better had it been
naruto on michirus back with that cool sphere.
