Rock Lee and Might Guy [Passionate Master and Pupil]

Pretty good platoon card. It's first effect kinda works like Zabuza's (Demon of the Cloud Village), except that instead of a discard, it moves the injured Ninjas to the bottom of the owner's deck. This platoon is also protected from your opponent's Ninja and Jutsu effects. Problem: The effects are not valid!!! That could put a damper on your game unless you protect these two.

Ratings:

Limited: 3/5 [If you can draft Rock Lee]
Constructed: 4/5
Art: "Everybody was Kung-Fu Fighting..."/5

Rock Lee and Might(y stupid-looking) Guy [Uber Broken] Even though this next platoon has no Support, it sure isn’t a pushover. The effect is BETTER than Zabuza Momochi [Demon of Cloud Villiage] and can really destroy the game. However, nonvalid=nonplayable. Once again, TN screws this.

3.5/5

N-262 Rock Lee & Might Guy

Finally Friday, and today we review a very cool card.
The long awaited Rock Lee & Might Guy platoon is here... okay maybe it's not that highly anticipated unless you've been trying to work on a Taijutsu Deck.
It's effect is great, allowing you to bounce ninjas to the bottom of the owner's deck.

Good Healthy/Injured stats, good effect. The only downside is the fact that he's not valid... which like most cards, hurts in todays competitive atmosphere.

Constructed, this card gives a boost to the Taijutsu theme, giving it a solid turn 5, and a great platoon for Lightning/Wind. It's playable in any deck that uses 3 Rock Lee and is on type for a mission that searches platoons. Very cool.

Limited, like any platoon this one has little playability in limited tournaments. Unless you can pull a few rock lee's to back this up it's probably going to end up being a charge for a lightning or wind card somewhere else in your deck and that's it.

Constructed: 4/5
Limited: 1.5/5

Wyatt Rock Lee and Might Guy(SR).  A powerful new platoon from Battle of Destiny.  It's a turn 5 platoon, not bad.  Regular characteristics for this kind of platoon, Jonin is good.  7/0,6/0 stats, awesome.  The effect is, whenever a ninja battling against this platoon is damaged due to the showdown, put that ninja at the bottom of the opponent's deck.  This happens before damage is actually applied, so if it was an outstanding victory, the head ninja WOULD take 2 damage, but would be placed at the bottom of the deck before it would have been discarded due to damage.  Also, you're opponent can't remove it from play by their ninjas or jutsus.  Not bad, although damage still works fine, and neither effect is valid, even so, this platoon has good stats while injured, so you'll still likely win the battle, since Lee and Guy's power only goes down by 1 from healthy to injured, you just won't get the effect.  Also, something to remember about platoons, it is always better when one of the ninjas required is an early turn ninja that doesn't have a hand cost, since that way you're upgrading by a lot, instead of by a small amount if you platoon'ed over the higher turn ninja.  That is part of why Shika/Asuma is so good, and helps this platoon, and hurts Jiraiya/Tsunade, even though the effect is so good(also high turn cost).

Constructed:4/5(good effects and stats)

Limited:2/5(Platoons are almost never good in limited, unless there are multiple, easily accessable versions of both characters, and there are no Guys, and 2 Lees.  So, playable, but unlikely, since one of those Lees is a super, and so is this platoon.  But if you get this out, it will likely be game.)
