Question about platooning Naruto & Shadow Clone

[TheElite711]

I'm talking about the "Mastering the arts of the Rasengan" card from a starter deck. Now we all know Naruto can obviously platoon into it, but...can the Naruto Uzumaki (Clone) card do it? I know its name doesn't technically say "Shadow Clone", but I don't see why it shouldn't do it. Its always bothered me to not be completely sure about it. So I'm asking people that would definitely know this little ruling. Thanks for a possible answer people !

Please use card numbers or the card linking feature for all cards involved in your questions. Thanks.

My apologies about that, still new to the forums here >_<.

I was wondering if I can use a card like pr-054 or n-1234 to platoon into n-406, it is a clone after all...even though the names of them are technically not "Shadow Clone."

No, the name of the in-play ninja that you are trying to use as fodder for the platoon has to match one of the names on the platoon exactly or the in-play ninja has to have the "name: x" characteristic that matches one of the names of the ninjas on the platoon exactly.

The name of & are not "Naruto Uzumaki" nor are they "Shadow Clone". Thus, they cannot be used as fodder for the platoon.
