Again the best part is that the kimono girls can be used other places.

That's what tylar said they were moving toward and I like it.

i don't like her as much as the other girls, but she isn't that bad

and honestly? these are just our first previews, its not like this whole set will be coin flipping and unless tsunade is snapped or we get more coin flip controlling cards, no one will play the deck. I'm making one simply because it's a fun deck type for casual non-serious playing.

Meh .

[soviet]

not much on this card unless we get some more cards that manipulate the result, fond memories only is in effect for one turn.

I think I am going to just wait untill all the theme is realsed before I do anymore reviews to hard to review if you do not know all the pieces lol.

Team separation decks get their kimono on with the new Ino.

I have a strong feeling that this really will be a strong new theme in the coming year. There are now several very good team separation cards, and if Baki gets reprinted - yeah, you see where this is going. I don't like the Growth Coin action, but you could essentially use it to keep your opponent from growing their own Ninjas, especially if their strategy involves upgrading their low-turn stuff later in the game. This also combos well with stuff that snatches Growth Coins from your opponent - wait, hold it, those new Star Ninjas are getting rotated out of Block. Sorry...

Yes, Fond Memories will be a MUST for Kimono decks, even if its effect only lasts a turn. Bear in mind, Kimono effects stack to each other; you flip one coin for any reason, you trigger all the Kimono effects you have on the board. That said, this Ino can be potentially devastating to your opponent's Teams, especially if you drop FM and get some Growth action going with your other Kimonos. I'm really gonna miss Lightning Speed Fourth...

With how these kimonos are going i hope to see in rehashed mission form, or just plain out reprinted since so far all 3 kimonos are earth.
Also i hope that with potential client returns, this deck would highly benefit from Returning, and i'd like to see on a non-kimono ninja, like maybe a naruto or something.

Then this whole coin flip thing has potential.

Yes, yes, and yes. Also, bear in mind that for deck-building purposes, Kimono Hinata has a different name than the Hinata you mentioned - rolling both is a possibility (though such a build might be a little clunky). But yes, hearty agreement for Challenging Again. This Mission may actually be useful now. :P

Well yes it is true you could run both, but i would rather have that effect on a different ninja, this way i have hinata kimono out, and the other ninja just in case i fail a flip
otherwise i have to pick, do i drop Hinata kimono, or the hinata to protect my flips?
No matter what though, its agreed, Challenging Again needs a reprint *nods*
