Mendo's Ongoing tourney

my entry:

jiraiya sacrificed his own life to discover a secret which saved many lives. so, this effect is a tribute to one of my favorite characters. i think it is cool to sacrifice all cards with same name in exchange to be untouchable for one turn. and i think sr rarity is fair.

How the "mighty" have fallen; top of the leader boards to the bottom, in one day. Must confess, it's slightly odd, considering I won, or got third. Oh well, I'll just have to come up with something good, and climb back up.

Well, he's one of my favorite characters, who has been very underused, until now, in the manga, so I decided to make a Minato, the great hero who gave his life to save the village, and his wife and son, and who set much of everything else in motion.



Minato here has two effects:
The first one is sort of weird, but I think it can work. In a sort of weird variation of surge, he can sacrifice a bit of himself, or a clone, in order to grapple death with an enemy. Doing this renders that Ninja powerless. Of course, one can't maintain the hold without dying, so Minato lets go quick. It might seem like a weird effect, but there are some weird ninjas right now, who are getting Surge, an attribute I don't see some of them actually using. If you have any other 4ths, and there are a few options now, then this could be a very nice effect to use.
As for the second, when he does finally die, he will seal the enemy away, forever. It might even be cool if it was what won the game for you.

Hopefully, my little point sink here won't lose too many points. The symbols are visible, even if slightly obscured; it's just a bit too much work to clear them up, and the program might've crashed, in the process.

i chose the 2nd hokage, because well first off hes a badass and doesnt get the credit he deserves, in fact i believe him to be better than the first, but also he gave up his very life to protect his village, his people, and his student. he let himself be killed so that hiruzen could escape and become the 3rd hokage.
the first effect was similar to the 2nd looking out for sarutobi, hiruzen, and his second effect was a hokage bonus to all of the leaf village

Well my choice of entry may not be main stream, but he died trying to protect something important to him. His art and pride.

Glad to see Mendo is still making cards.

Here's my entry, Kushina Uzumaki. Since she hasn't really been made by many, including Bandai, I decided to take control over every aspect.



Let's start with her stats/costs/characteristics/etc. I wanted her to be a powerful Kunoichi and live up to the name of "Red Hot-Blooded Haberano" so I decided to give her some Turn 5 Stats but remain on Turn 4 so the Uzumaki/Kamikaze family cam curve (I.E. Naruto on 3, Kushina on 4, Minato on 5). In order to do this I had to give her the Hand Cost which hinders here splashability. 4/2 5/3 seemed decent and added up to 14 Power, average for a Turn 5 Ninja, plus it went along with the Uzumaki/Kamikaze theme of "I get bigger when I injure".

The characteristics aren't anything special except for the fact that she has Ambush which will make sense when you get to the effect. Plus, I wasn't entirely sure of giving her Jonin because it was never really established in the series but if she went to the Ninja Academy, she probably ended up as a Jonin. I also wondered if I should give her Whirlpool Country in addition to Leaf but I supposed it didn't make as much sense as it did when she was little.

As for Combat Attribute I wanted to give her Ninjutsu and/or Weapon, but then I remembered her hair so I had to use Hair Combat Attribute.

Her effect is more of a Might Guy or Tobi effect. Basically when my Naruto would take Damage, I can charge her to draw a card and negate the Damage. Pretty good effect but I figured it wasn't THAT overpowered considering it can only work when I have Naruto. It shows how she would do anything to protect Naruto, even dispose of herself... Well, at least for now...

The second effect was more to fit in with the story line and the main reason she has Ambush. Basically, after she protects Naruto, she goes away to your Chakra. When the time is right, she can pop back into play but only for a brief moment because at the end of your turn, she goes back to Chakra. Makes sense, right?

True.

Hahaha, everyones got like the most epic character entries except for me.

Well I was going to make a Hizashi Hyuga but images for him are little or look pretty poor, so here is my entry.



Madara's little brother Izuna who gave up both his eyes and his life to make his brother and his clan stronger.

Now as for the card it would either be limited to 1 or 2. I'm not sure witch though. He can be removed from the game and your opponent doesn't get a turn so I felt that your opponent should get something for so the second effect gives them a draw of 1 card.

In an unrelated note, the site I read the manga on, OneManga, is no longer supporting their mangas, because of complaints regarding them scanning the mangas, I suppose. Does anyone know of another place that has the up-to-date manga, in English, so I can stay up to date? I don't know where else to go; stores in this town (1) are still back with Danzo just becoming Hokage-stand in.

If you want just naruto. Type it into google tons will have it most come out before they did on OM. If your looking for a new manga reading site that will support other manga. Then cry with me cause i want my negima back. T_T

Here's my entry: btw, his first effect can be applied at any time. His first can work because battle rewards aren't checked until the end phase.

I don’t think he seems to be very playable. Obviously, there are no other (Sage Modes) for him to compete with, but I feel like 1 turn of complete protection isn’t worth such a great sacrifice. Naturally, it’s valid, which makes it better since you can use it while he’s injured. Also, it doesn’t actually stop you from playing other Jiraiya cards (see below), but I just don’t feel like he would earn a spot in most decks. Still good though. Just needs a little boost in my opinion.
Playability: 4/5

Creativity
One thing that bugs me about his effect is that he doesn’t search your hand for Jiraiyas. Which means that as long as you had one or two in your hand, they’re safe when you use his effect. I also don’t like that you can get full use of his effect even if he’s the only Jiraiya in your deck. I would’ve liked it more if it gave you a lasting protection effect (maybe a reduced one), and it cost you 1 Jiraiya every turn, or something like that. Still, I like the idea of a self Sealing Barrier effect, so that’s very creative.

I think this card is great. His first effect makes him pretty scary whiles he’s out, and his second effect forces you to be careful when dealing with him. This guy could do a lot of damage, especially with Mastery. I think he would be perfect if it wasn’t for the fact that there is also a (Younger Days) and (Childhood), meaning his first effect could be used quite freely, which I think makes him a little too powerful.
Playability: 4/5

Creativity
Neither of his effects are anything astoundingly original, but I like the idea behind them. Like you admitted yourself, his first effect is sort of an alternate Surge, and his second is akin to that old Anko from a while ago… so I’ll take off just a little for that, even though I see where you’re coming from.
Creativity: 2.8/3

Art
I’ve seen that picture of The Fourth a lot, and it’s a little blurry on top of that. The Reaper looks good, but he’s got a bit cut off below, and he does obscure the symbols a bit, like you said. As a side note, I know that the sound effect says “DOOM”, but with the sloppy handwriting, it looks like “YAWN”, which I find hilarious.

Considering they’re both high entrance cost ninjas with different elements, I can’t see him in the same deck as The Third Hokage very often. Naturally, this Second would probably accompany a (Younger Days) version, possibly without hand cost, but even so, I would’ve liked to see him be dual element water/fire to make better use of his first effect. His second effect is really good, and is his main draw probably, but I don’t think it really matches some of the other Seconds we have access to. Still pretty good, though.

First effect is ripped right from Yashamaru, and the second protection effect isn’t anything too original. There are lots of cards with very similar effects.

In general, these “silver bullet” cards aren’t very useful, and I don’t think this one’s any exception. There are only a handful of jutsus with this requirement. A lot of genjutsus (genjutsu, space created by genjutsu, fear by genjutsu) lack this requirement, ironically. He’s probably better than vanilla Deidara, but I can’t see this guy getting any play. Maybe you should’ve raised his stats, or made him an entrance cost 4 or something? Maybe work in the Bomb coin mechanic?

I don’t think that this card would see a whole lot of play. Basically, you have two choices: play her normally from your hand, which basically makes her vanilla, and her stats aren’t good enough to be a EC 4 HC 1 Vanilla. Alternately, if she ends up in your chakra area, I think she’s too expensive to keep reusing. She’ll almost always be healthy, and by turn 4 you can do a lot better than a 4/2. Why would you want to waste your deployment for the turn on an understatted Ninja (only counting healthy here) that goes away after a turn with no relevant effect? Also, I’m not sure on this, but because her second effect isn’t valid, does that mean she would stay out permanently if she’s injured? If so, is this what you intended?

I think that this card is way too good. Skipping your opponent’s turn is a huge advantage, and I don’t think that any one card should be able to do it, and definitely not with such a light cost. You mentioned he should be limited, but I also think it’s wrong to design cards with the intent of them being limited. You should strive to make them as balanced as possible.

Honestly, I don’t really see what his effect has to do with Izuna. That is, he sacrificed his eyes to make Madara and the Uchiha clan stronger, but how does turn skipping fit into that? It seems to me like he should have more of a strengthening effect or something…

Basically, this Itachi’s key effect allows you to save yourself from losing, but I don’t really feel like it matches some of the other Itachi cards out there. To elaborate, I find that in general, it’s hard to turn games around, and if your opponent has enough of an advantage to win 10 battle rewards, getting 3 more shouldn’t be that much of an issue. It does prevent some of the cheaper, direct attack decks, like Medical decks, but I don’t think such situational usefulness really lives up to [Genius in Genjutsu] or the new [Inferno].
Playability: 4/5

Creativity
There seems to be something strange going on with this Itachi’s characteristics. That is, he has “Rogue Ninja” AND “Leaf”… I’m quite sure he should only have one or the other. To me, the whole timeline of this card is a little confusing, it seems to be Itachi at the beginning and end of his life simultaneously.

I'm not complaining about the judging, but the Itachi has both leaf and rogue ninja because left the village, but he was still loyal to the village, thus meaning he is technically still a leaf ninja. As a side note, Zabuza and Haku have both mist and rogue too. I'm not complaining. Just saying. You did your best.

wow...
what a detailed judging. i think it is the best judging so far. thanks a lot.

She's not understat for her drop. She's a 14 total. 4 + 2 + 5 + 3 = 14. That's average Turn 5 Stats. In addition, cards like Amachi (Sea Monster) also have a Hand Cost on Turn 4 and have Turn 5 stats. So she is nowhere understat.

I know you don't play the game so it's understandable.

Also, Kushina would still be sent back if she gets Injured because the effect was triggered when she was deployed. The conditions were met (JUDGEMENT SHALL COME!) so the effect would resolve.

It's not about understated in case of a Normal Ninja. She has a Hand cost and shes turn 4. If you play her normally then she's effectively becomes a useless vanilla Ninja. And If i'm playing a hand cost ninja on turn 4 im not gonna waste it on a 4/2 vanilla ninja!!! Secondly, what LI was saying is what i said before, costing your deploy and 1 card from hand each turn to play her again just to have her go away without reaping any reward? It's pointless.

The first effect is nice, a good thing for a naruto deck. Anything past that and she's useless. So basically she's like a Naruto only Jutsu that you hold on to, to stop damage. Nothing more. Not saying thats bad, getting a draw and stopping damage is great, but it makes the rest of the text on her and the stats seem useless.

I really don't think you can evaluate a card's worth just by adding up the numbers. That seems sort of like a naive approach to me. It's a lot more complicated than that, isn't it?

For instance, support is worth more than combat. A turn 0 with 4/0 has been seen, but a turn 0 with 0/4 would be absurd.

Additionally, if the points are spread out, they're not worth as much as if they were all in one spot. For instance, a 2/2 -> 2/2 is not as good as a 8/0 -> 0/0 (or better yet, 0/8 -> 0/0).

Further, I think that healthy stats are worth more than injured stats because they are instantly effective, as opposed to people like Naruto, who you have to wait to get their full power. I would take a 6/0 -> 0/0 over a 3/0 -> 6/0 any day, despite the latter adding up to a higher total.

Lastly, the power of their effect has a huge impact as well. A vanilla card would be expected to have much higher stats than a card of the same turn with an extremely powerful effect, right?

But more importantly, it's how Kushina's effect affects her stats that makes her understatted. She gets stronger when injured, but if you ambush her, she's going to almost always be healthy because she only lasts the one turn. With this in mind, a 4/2 is terrible for a turn 3, let alone a turn 4 with a hand cost.

That was my reasoning anyway.

Alright I really liked how LI judged some I am going to be using her style as a base from now on.

Its been said already but ill give my POV. The card with its effect is nice. But without the effect the card is really bad. 1 hand cost, below par stats and the fact that the turn 4 naruto reinforcement is better really kills this card. Maybe if instead of the second effect you have, you could replace it with an effect that would move her back to your hand so shes a little better.

Neat idea I like the idea of Ninjas becoming free Jutsu cards that always nice. I cant deduct anything here.

Wow, this card is game breaking. My opponent skips their next turn that hurts alot and all it cost me was 1 Ninja. Im not sure this card would be legal it would be another card to add to the ban list.

Not bad, it can save your but for a turn. Hopefully it is worth it and you gave him up for a purpose not just to prolong a game your going to lose. I do have to agree with LI though this card is out shined by many Itachi's out there. Overall nice card.

Creativity
Wow, the Characteristics are really off. He has Leaf,Akatsuki, yet you gave him just a Leaf symbol. Try to pick 1 or the other because he had to betray the leaf before joining the Akatsuki he cant be part of both at the same time (even though we know he is ) I do like the BR effect can save your butt. If only he had an Earth symbol >.<
