Beastly Mage
Sai
Today's card is an Animal Deck-Friendly version
of Sai. During your Mission Phase you can discard
one card. Then, you can put in play from your
Discard Pile one Animal Ninja with its Effect Text
negated. If that Animal Ninja is still in play at
the end of the turn you remove that card from play.
This can let you get a big Ninja Toad, or maybe a
Ninja Dog for extra support, or any other Animal.
Remember that the effect's gonna be negated, so the
Animal would be used for an Attack (like a finishing
hit or just some extra damage). In Limited he could
be good if you manage do Draft some Animals. In
Constructed and Block he could be even better.
Ratings:
Limited: 2/5
Constructed: 3/5
Block: 3/5

N-916 Sai [Ink Summons]
===================
Today's card is probably one of the worst Sai's to
date, in my opinion. His effect is basically the
same as the now blocked Hikaru Tsuki client, except
that the put in play animal is killed at the end of
the turn and its effect is negated. Personally, I
don't like this at all in Animal decks. At best, you
can get a Gamabunta/Giant Ninja Toad in play at T4,
but with their effects negated, it is not as
devastating. The main reason why Hikaru was played
was to deploy one animal for free during your turn
due to the wording of his effect (as well as Sai).
The way it is worded, you can discard an animal from
your hand then play that animal, getting around the
one ninja per turn effect for your animals. You can
now do this with Set 19 Monkey King Emna, so run him
instead. If you want to necro your dead animals,
play Surprise Help from set 18 instead.
