Beastly Mage
Chiyo
This Super Rare version of Granny Chiyo is
reminiscent of the first Super Rare version of
Sasori. Same effect, earlier turn cost and no hand
cost. Putting it simply, it's good for Puppet Decks.
She can make you have big teams like the first SR
Sasori. Only thing is that she doesn't have a rank,
but in the Puppet Master deck rank's irrelevant. Try
it and see!
This card shares some striking resemblances to
Sasori [Legendary Puppet Creator]. The [Lifeless
Warrior] have changed Puppet decks for the better,
with their ability to 'slide' into any team that
includes a ninja with a Manipulation combat
attribute, causing for some pretty huge teams. This
Chiyo takes that a step further. Much like she does
in her fight with Sasori, she has the ability to
turn 3 or lower ninja into a [Lifeless Warrior]. In
Puppet decks, however, this effect becomes rather
redundant as they can already make big teams to
score easy victories over opposing teams. Not only
that, but Puppets benefit a lot more from Chiyo
[Retired Master]'s ability to search for other
Puppets. I'd suggest running this in a non-Puppet
deck alongside Sasori [Legendary Puppet Creator] for
some rather ridiculous teams.
Limited: 4/5
Constructed: 3/5

Hey there all,
how's it hanging? Today we're reviewing
N-539 Chiyo
Today we have Chiyo-baasan in her new Super Rare
form from Fateful Reunion. Let's see what she's got:
sand, female, puppet master, medical and 1 mental
power which is standard for her. Nothings changed
there, she also keeps carrying her 3/3 either way
stats which is good and she has her usual double
manipulation/medicine combat attributes which make
her a unique puppet master. She's rankless but packs
quite a punch for a granny xD.
Well she's super rare this time, this must mean
she's a blast for puppet decks!! PSYYCHE!! Not
really lol, she actually is built to give the
"puppet tech" to other mono wind decks other than
puppets like for example, a mean Kunoichi deck, an
Over9k and so on, she's a good 4 drop, but she's
overshadowed by Gaara and Kurenai in both of these
decks and of course her effect is limited to a ninja
with an entrance cost of 3 or less this means you
can't drop big overhaul power like a Tsunade or a
Shukaku and this effect is also not valid :|. You
also have to pay 2 "Wind" Chakra in order to shoot
it off once which Sasori[LPC] does the same but
without restriction to entrance cost. Ok it's a bit
of a letdown, her effect allows her to slip in any
ninja with a puppet coin into a team (but only 1
unlike Sasori[LPC]) which she could combo well with
the whole strategy he sets into place. This card has
potential, but as for now her rare counterpart is
much more useful than this one in the puppet deck
and that's the only deck she's really has a good
sure place in. I repeat again, it has potential, we
could see her abusing some sort of crazy low turn
ninja that may come out anytime soon or right now
even, she can slip in Sakura's, Shikamaru's and so
on which is not so bad. As the lower turn ninjas
gain more strength due to incrementing power creeps
Chiyo will become more and more useful, she does
have uses, let's see what the future brings.
A good ninja with an average effect as of now, but
she's runable in some decks and could be better if
used correctly in a deck meant for her.
Limited: 2.5/5 (she's not bad here due to her solid
stats, not sure if her effect will shoot off though)
Constructed: 2/5 (better Chiyo out there)
