4th + late game jutsus (using emotion wave) that runs consistently

[avatar7]

Well, feel free to test this using proxies and see for yourself how consistently you can pull off the 4th + late game jutsu combo in 90% of your games between turn 1 and 3. The main point is strong draw and chakra generation so you can pull off the combo as early as possible. Nothing original obviously. Apart from some weird match ups, you can easily overpower your opponent by doing full team wipe outs for just 2-3 chakra.

I think it's pointless to bother judging the deck too much or pointing out how I didn't insert more cards from set 25. The reason is I spent no more than 10 minutes working on it, but even so it ran quite well right off the bat. It can be made a lot more balanced, but that's up to you if you feel like going with the idea. IMO it's worth testing it thoroughly against different match-ups and coming up with a side deck as well.

OK, here it is:

Sounds legit. I'd drop 1 make out, the chibi Sasuke, and a KNS in favor of 3 dragon flame though. 4th makes the damage it gives back useless as long as his effect resolves on a different chain.

Yeah, I was considering dragon flame as well, but I felt like it would be too inconsistent trying to run fire and water cards to play both that jutsu and emotion wave. Perhaps it can be made to work more consistently with multiple/symbol cards from set 25.

As for dropping KNS, I felt it's imperative that you have as high chance to get card drawing ninjas as early as possible, plus the fact that you generate so much chakra randomly by moving cards from the top of your deck to the chakra area that you are most certainly going to lose some of the important cards and so running 3 copies is a safeguard against that.

But who wouldn't want to Keep a 5/5 Turn 6 Mastery Satoosa Ninja? If you Dragonflame with his effect still on the chain, his effect will fail, yes. But that means you get to keep him.

Sure, but I haven't attempted to come up with a good balance of fire/water/lightning cards yet. Remember, the idea is to run Emotion Wave consistently in early game, that's the main thing, so fire would get in the way of that in terms of random chakra generation which the deck relies on. UNLESS some of the set 25 cards with multiple symbols are used, but I haven't looked into any of those yet.

I was thinking of running Big Bang just to add an additional option for increasing the chances of pulling off the combo more than once in the same turn or within 2 consecutive turns, but have to test that.

I'm even considering Bonds of Friendship, just for some extra Chakra generation that is not random. Also Race! would work great for late game because you can end up with more than 6 cards in your hand on your opponent's turn and that's perfect for dropping 4th. Lots of variations obviously.

You mean 3 different Narutos? It's just to have more options and because all 3 support the theme. Childhood because the main combo requires early fast consistent chakra generation, tailed beast form Naruto just in case you don't pull off the combo and the snipe Naruto in case you don't draw a tailed beast form one. Perhaps he could be reduced to just 1.

Oh and I just noticed I forgot to put Naruto Sage Mode in the Reinforcement deck

sure, I see what you mean. id still try to squeeze some fire in there. and why sauke OV? or the other one for that matter. and i would try to get Sabiru in there, and i would drop hotatru, but then your at only 8 deployable t0s.
