i feel like there's too many 3 drops already to run anko

Like one of the other people said there are an awful lot of 3 drops to play. Especially since Sakura [Concentrated Punch] NEEDS to be ran. Lightning has the problem of having large combat but pitiful su;pport is almost completely negated by having her on turn 3. It could be ran as a ratio of

1x Naruto
1x Anko
2x Sakura

But there are ALOT of Turn 3s to benefit lightning.

Always a possibility. Hate wasting that effect though -3-

It needs you to be at 6 Battle Rewards to come out early. If you are that badly off before turn 6 you don't need Jiraiya, you need something a little better. And a pseudo-Succeeded Will of Fire effect won't help you come back from that.

you cant forget shima in your 3 drops. heals and has senjutsu. also decent support and adds a card

Yah know, TP4 J-man might work in a sideboard against rush. because a rush deck you're at 6 brs on turn 2-3 easy.

I forgot her turn marker not about her. And playing her adds Pa toad. Even if you don't want to play pa toad its fuel for Toad Sage

Only problem with Toad Sage is that it has to contend with Warhawk. And before you say "They're two different elements", consider that you're probably going to run 3 Kisuke and 3 Gama in Lightning at least, and if you are going the Toad route, 2 Shima as well. That's 8 Fire cards already, not including any other possible double color Ninjas or the random 1 of Tsukado for counter rush, as well as Other Warhawks.

Yeah I like that gamakichi guy coming in the deck too. Decent effect with both symbols

Can't it have both? Warhawk is a card I wouldn't want to run more than 2 of. If you did 2 of them and 2 Toad Sages then it could work.

*Note: I never would have said the whole "Different elements" thing. You know how much Fire and Lightning mesh? Be crazy not to run it

i dont like toad sage to be honest. a little more specific than something like cloud council and you don't even plus off it...
