Burst just let's you drop a Ninja that can instantly become a powerhouse. This combined with Ink and Tempo builds will allow Rush players to even hit harder and faster than they already do right now.

its only for a turn and there is a chance (pretty high chance) ur not gonna get much of a boost off of this........this is why this isnt a great mechanic, still decent though

There is some combo potential for the mechanic, plus there is still design space that can be manipulated since it leaves the card face up until it it moved from it's spot on the top of the Deck.

For example, they can easily make a Burst Ninja that has something like:

"While the top card of your Deck is revealed and is a Ninja card, this Ninja has: [Vailid: When this Ninja is sent out to Attack and opposed, you can injure 1 back Ninja battling against this Ninja.]"

yay, naruto can use a liger bomb on turn 1, injure and draw a card woo! imagine getting rid of a sasuke 0 drop or karin or any early drop that poses a threat.

You guy do remember what stats the textless naruto had, right? Also that has been common turn 1 stats.

seems really bad, I don't care for the mechanic at all. I wouldn't play a card based on burst, I'd play based on it's effect.

[soviet]

not a fan, allows your opponet to see your next draw as well or what there getting for br

[Nickuchiha]

This is a double edged sword in a few ways. With burst, if you have any draw, this could be the deciding factor if you'd like to draw that card, some way, or leave it be.

It could, as soviet said, make your opponent try to rush in for a BR too, but it may be a card you'd be willing to give up as a BR in hopes of getting something better, or it may make your opponent rush in against a bad position for them, just to make sure you don't get that card.

I actually like this mechanic.

Will have to wait to test out this mechanic, but my prediction is it will be very, very strong. Imagine dropping an over-statted ninja every single turn, you are pretty much guaranteed to out-tempo your opponent. This naruto is.. underwhelming, maybe, but just imagine having burst on a whole curve of ninjas, especially if they have additonal effects instead of being vanilla, like this naruto.

+1+1 Coins-Burst Taijutsu Deck... Interesting. But, they really should've made that Naruto a 0 Drop.
