And yet another Earth/Wind Mental. I need some help please. c:

[Kailyn Kyosuke]

This is my current Ino-Shika-Cho Mental build. It's fairly decent, but as I've seen I tend to fail in tournaments at the last moments, usually on game 3. Only times I've been outright stomped flat was vs Deidara BR flip and Effectless Mental. Any type of help would be appreciated, I'll post the decklist plus cards I'm considering using. Bear in mind that I may not have access to some cards I want, mainly expensive ones. But...since Naruto is a fairly cheap game, I'll probably be able to get (mostly) anything.

more ninjas turn 0 and 3 shikamaru desicions.
this is my deck

[Kailyn Kyosuke]

3 Decisions?

Seems a bit excessive...isn't it? Most people don't bother negating jutsus, especially if you can just kill or make the enemy ninja standby.

I mean yeah it can snipe missions but Im not sure I need 3 of those.

I guess I'll give it a try though.

For mi shikamaru desicion is the best mission of This deck for me. Search ante ninja of the deck if shikamaru is in the village and draw 1card if you search a female ninja

decision is the search mission, judgment is the jutsu negate

[Kailyn Kyosuke]

Ah yeah. That slipped my mind. :X


Well, I did have my eye on that card actually.

But what do I take out to add 3 of those?

The search is nice but Sand Council puts the ninja I want right on the battlefield instead of in my hand, which is nice. The rest of it is pretty much draw power. I guess I could live without Shogi Match but how else will I force my opponent to fight me?
