My usual "good" plans don't work because, as is so often the case, this Ninja lacks a rank (a fact that forever makes me hate Huge Difference, even when the Pain Brigade would pwn the Fish), so I can't cheat down his EC that way. If I splash Lightning, 4 Times Faster might work, but I really don't like that Mission, as my enemy is often just as capable of dropping something terrifying, early. None of the Akatsuki or Rinnegan stuff seems capable of getting around EC.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Getting Nagato out early could make the Pain Deck work cheesy, if he doens't get biffed by something. Thanks.

sharingan of tears with nagato would be a bit nuts
