Beastly Mage
Kirin
Today's Jutsu is a Sasuke exclusive Jutsu. Kirin can
only be used by a Sasuke that's Turn 4 or more, and
you can only activate it when you have Zero Chakra
(note that it's a zero cost Jutsu). The first part
of the effect gives two damage to one Ninja on the
Battlefield. It can be an opposing Ninja, or a Ninja
who's opposing one of your other teams (if needed).
Now, the second part of the effect helps a lot too.
When this card is in the chain no cards can be
played by any player. So, it kills the chain. It's a
good card, but having your Chakra Area empty can be
risky at times. Sure, there's the Sasuke that
empties your Chakra Area (and gets rid of the same
number of cards in your opponent's Chakra Area), but
you have to know when to use this card.

J-814 Kirin

Today's card is the first version of Sasuke's
ultimate jutsu, Kirin. Kirin's effect pretty much
kills a ninja on the battlefield, and cannot be
easily countered since Jutsus cannot interrupt it;
however, cards like Minato Namikaze and Itachi
[Goal] can stop it with their effects (Kirin only
prevents cards from being added to the chain. It
does not stop ninja effects). The obvious setback to
this card is that you need to have no chakra for it
to trigger. Jere some ways to do that.
-Get rid of chakra is by chaining Kirin during a
chain where you've played enough Jutsus to
get rid of all of your chakra. Be sure to play Kirin
before it resolves and the other Jutsus go
to the chakra area.
-Play cards like Sasuke Uchiha [Overwhelming
Vengeance] and Seimei [Master of Weapons]. Sasuke's
effect is rather obvious; nuke all of your chakra to
nuke your opponent's. Seimei is a Wind/Water 6 drop
that can be used as a tech card too help kick off
Kirin. His effect trigger is worded so that
you can discard any or all of your chakras to
activate one of his effects
-World of Water's second effect to wipe out both
players' chakra
-If you're running Fire, you probably don't have any
chakra, so you're fine /sarcasm
In short, Kirin is a decent card that can kill off a
ninja for free and gives your opponent almost no
chance of stopping it, but it requires some set-up.
If you're running Water, throw one or two in if you
have the room.
