Good genin...but we needs jonin.

So what you're basically saying is that we need more broken Jonin's so that Trigram and Vortex's can be even more impossible to stop?

I say the majority of this set should be Genin's and their Jutsu's since that what the Naruto series is based on. The growth of Konoha's (Leaf's) new generation into the Ninja's of the future. I guess we're just going to have to ween at least 90% of the Naruto players off of control until they realize that there are other types of cards in the game.

Take That! LOL

What I'm saying is, a lot of broken Genin without entrance costs can be splashed into mono fire easily, allowing APW/whatever to maintain dominance.

If we get really good jonins for earth, wind, lightning, (not really so much water) then the other elements will be more on par with fire.

even if the other elements have to get broken themselves.

I'm to really gonna argue that Earth and Lightning need a few more good Jonin class Ninja, but I'd prefer the majority of the set be focused around the Genin and their growth. Kind of like the new Ino-Shika-Cho, which shows that with teamwork, they can dominate almost any Ninja in the game.

Making the same card with a different Element is not making the game any better, in my opinion. They should give Earth and Lightning an unique playing style, just like Wind has with getting "free" attacks. Or an alternate way of winning the game, just anything. But like you said, anything splashable will be put in Mono-Fire or Fire/X anyway.

At this point, if earth lightning or wind don't get something with an effect close enough to APW where those elements have game breakers, no amount of good genins or pretty good jonins are going to change the game enough to make anything other than mono fire and tempo taking first. (with the exception of really lucky nonfire nontempo nonwater decks..)

Honestly the only way ER will take the power from mono fire and balance the elements is if:

Every element other than Fire gets an APW type ninja. (IE, hard to splash in mono fire.)
Every element other than Fire gets an Inherit. (IE, hard to splash in mono fire.)
Every element other than fire gets jutsu/mission negation.
Every element other than fire gets a strong chidori type jutsu.
OR Freedori's key cards get banned.

Still, we've only seen 5 cards, so chances are we WILL see some good cards for the other elements. (a 6 drop for earth, maybe?)

what the hells the point of that...if all those card get printed...then its just freedori with a new color -_-

yes...but then we might see something other than mono fire in the lead, and even with similar broken cards on each element it would still be slightly more creative and interesting.
