Beastly Mage
Neji Hyuga
[Better Power of Insight than the Sharingan Eye]
A Neji with a valid effect? Let's check it out. This
Neji can do a lot against Uchiha decks. For one
Earth chakra, you can negate one of your opponent's
Jutsus with the Sharingan requirement. Note,
however, that it's only "Sharingan Eye" requirements
and not character-specific Jutsus such as Chidori or
Tsukuyomi. Still, this is a pretty good sideboard
material against Uchiha/Sharingan decks. Try it and
see.
Ratings:
Limited: 3/5 (Good stats at turn 2)
Constructed: 3/5 (Anti-Sharingan Sideboard)

Alucard of the Abyss
Today we get to one of two
new Neji from Battle of Destiny and it's certainly
the inferior of the two and probably the worst Neji
in the game. Today's CotD is [Better Power of
Insight Than Sharingan Eye].
As normal the stats. Standard with Neji, 3/0 Healthy
and Injured. Also standard is his Byakugan and
Growth. His effect is, to sum it up in short, bad.
When he is battling you can discard one of your
Earth Chakra to negate and discard a Jutsu with
requirements "Sharingan Eye" being played by one of
your opponent's Ninja. Now, think for a second of
the only card that even sees play with a requirement
of Sharingan Eye. The card(s) itself "Sharingan
Eye". That right there instantly shoots down his
usefulness. There is really no reason to run this
Neji over [Detection by Byakugan], [For Those Who
Believe in Me] or even [Another Method for Absolute
Defense]. He isn't even good side deck material
because of the small amount of Sharingan Eye cards
that see play.
In limited he is decent for his stats. His effect is
just about worthless in this format. Not much else
to say.
His art is about as bad as the effect. It has bad
art for a Neji card, which usually has really good
art.
Constructed: 1/5 (there are much better options)
Limited: 2/5 (only for his stats, not effect)
Art: 1/5 (probably the worst of the Neji cards)
The last CotD this week is the heavy hitter for Wind
and the only non-Platoon non-Summon Ninja with an 8
Combat. Be sure to check back to see.
