Set 20 Itachi Preview Discussion

[Narumatt]

That Itachi is good, except against water. The jutsu is ok its decent mill support.

[WizKid]

Well.

Now I'm not so sure I'd wanna squad...-_-

Idk now. Itachi is good. Leaf and anbu are a plus. He fits in two deck types.

Edit: well zero pointed out that the cards can be charged on their turn but he's still decent for your turn. I'd definitely squad.

He actually did :l

Itachi is a worse ES, in that when your opponent can't beat him, they can just charge cards to make him lose his effect. Lets not forget he doesnt even have an effect against water. He's still cool though, but I doubt he will hit competative play any time soon.

The jutsu is nifty. It can easily be a mill 8+, which is cool, but realistically Sharingan activated is a much more practical card, in that it negates a jutsu when used by Kakashi and Sasuke (The two most played sharingan ninja) aswell and still mills roughly half of what this card can.

I feel like fire is still very scatterbrained. I'm not saying that everything in fire should do one thing, but it's clear that the designer wants mill to be a common theme in Sharingan ninjas... But only seems to put mill effects on random jutsu cards for said sharingan ninjas (Barring one or two ninjas from several sets ago).

One will be shown tommorow for sure.

Can you confirm if sasuke (a 4 drop or higher) is fire? Please?

[Naruto_Fan_19]

I definitely like the Itachi. It's got a diverse and interesting effect. Same goes for the jutsu, although the jutsu is kinda iffy with me. I like it's mill effect though. Probably the best mill card in the game? If not, at least in block?

^ this, this...this..this.thihihihisighidihdfhojhidhmsdfms dkg

The TP1/2 Itachi is now worthless, as this Itachi is insane. I love being able to look at my opponent's hand and have an effect that nets me BRs.

Like Master of the Sharingan said, the fact you can Sasuke IA into Kakashi AD and Itachi (and play both on turn 5) is insane... gives fire a fighting chance.

The jutsu isn't bad, but I HATE mill...meh.

Fire just needs low drops and a better curve....

Rather stay away from a one trick pony. Also playing that kakahi means i miss out on fires best curve IE: kakashi childhood, then flex.

[Sakuras_Impact]

Texans, i hate to be trouble, but can you clarify 'Type' does it mean like if you have 2 missions, or 2 of the same element, or 2 of the same name? or something else?

Is this such a bad thing? Giving your opponent a very hard choice, either have a max hand size of 3,maybe 4, or facing a ES ninja with no drawback.
Personally the idea of charging down to 1 ninja 1 mission 1 jutsu and maybe 1 client just doesn't sit well with me as a good strategy outside of water.

Thank you for bringing back Kakashi ES in a sense
