This card only gets really nuts in Fire/Wind, which is a deck type already thanks to Tetra + Danzo. Statistically it's not hard:

50 card deck
3 of JI
6 jonins. (2 copies of the 3 best ones to abuse this card, Kurotsuchi, Sasori, or Kakashi)

And to make sure you can set this up by T1 or 2 run 3 Sakura that goes into inner sakura and/or 1 or 2 Takamaru. Splash in Shiho for a bit more stability and bam. You're likely to pull JI and 1 of the 6 jonins roughy 70% of the time.

Kurotsuchi is terrible. You use this with 3 Kakashi and/or 3 Sasori.

Sounds good on paper, but kinda too much of a one-dimensional deck when it's made like that, sacrificing other options, and thus easy to side against it or predict it. Perhaps not at first instance, but eventually. I also have a feeling Void's going to deal easily with this kind of deck. Would be interesting to see it in action though.

If you build your entire deck around 1 specific combo, you're gonna have a bad time.

Obviously this is one of the 4 or 5 combos that Fire/Wind can play. The best case scenario is this stalled time until T6 and you drop Danzo with the chakra for Tetragram, or you're going aggro with the Danzo/susano'o/Cursed Mode push through.

I just don't understand why people want to use tetragram when you can clear the field and swing for 6...

Deck doesnt have to be based around JI. I run already in my current build Shiho, Sakura Identity Swap, and 7 Jonins total. I'd just stuff JI in the deck and that's it. Also JI can be played later game as well anyway, just to have the ability to drop 2 ninjas on a turn.

your not realizing its not a deck type, its a combo in the deck....JI is a mssion that will be mained in every single fire/x deck

Words... I've heard them for many cards before and it never happened in reality. Let's wait and see.

yes because free playing a t5 ninja on turn 1 is somehow bad
