[PlaydohDude]

First of all, this deck has no late-game. Add in Kurenai, I was very surprised she wasn't in here. Second, cut out those Sasukes and Rock Lees for another Choji, and maybe Iruka [Scapegoat] or Iruka Umino [Reward]. They are amazing.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

Took some of your advice :)

[PlaydohDude]

Looks good, but maybe -2 Hinatas for 2 Skura Determinations? It's a wicked card. 7/10 for this deck.

[Kiz]

really like the idea. I tried something like this, but it was different. I'd add some more procotrs though.

Maybe Tonbo at 2.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

I don't need any proctors :/ Already have Sakuras in here and the deck is about as good as a Mental Deck can be.

[Rakath]

Even with the mental power focus out there... Shadow Possession is a good thing.

Also, your Mental Power can't activate easily before Turn 3 (You have Cheating and nothing). So a few Written Tests would help.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

I thought this deck would have a problem before turn 3 also, but I have a few beatsticks in here and Cheating before then so it's really not much of a problem.

And BTW, do you have a link to the japanese sets?

[Rakath]

Um... on the official Bandai forums there's a fanlation of Set 5+6, gimme a sec I'll find it.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

Thanks for the link. I'll side those Shadow Possesion Jutsus and Written Test to see how they work out.

[DrunkRockLee]

there is one card that isnt in here that should be in any mebtal deck and that is cheating prevention

[Rakath]

Cheating Prevention is not needed. It's only of use if you can easily make use of high Combat/Support teams with decent Mental Power. ISC decks need it. NaruSasuSaku decks can use it. a Pure Mental Power deck will just get a few unblocked happenings.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

Anymore suggestions for the deck, or is it perfect?

[cr4p 4 br4iNz]

I dunno, this deck look really vulnerable to Zabuza + Fire Ball Jutsu = Dead Ibuki -> Complete defeat -> Team Death...

[Rakath]

With 3 Cheating and 2 Wind Scythe Jutsu? Mental 7 vs Mental most likely 2 = Complete Defeat = Zabuza died.

[cr4p 4 br4iNz]

only 2 wind Scythe? I'll Max at three since its Chakara cost is so low. anyways, if a player is desperated enough, and depending on the situation, Zabuza play a 5 cost fireball is totally worth it, unless he is returned in some fashion, which I don't see being played in mental decks (or at least the ones I see)

[dust2dust]

With 3 Cheating and 2 Wind Scythe Jutsu? Mental 7 vs Mental most likely 2 = Complete Defeat = Zabuza died.

very true -.- but look if zabuza can kill ibike before he leaves, then there is no problem. there is no reason why other members of zabuza's team cant kill rest of the weak mental the team. most of them have 0 atk. missions can be negated with failure. can cheating is only to stall. so unless they can keep up with the attacker, the team may just die the next turn. care to correct me?

[Rakath]

Let's put a 'best case' out here:

Zabuza (DoCV), Kakashi (Copy Ninja), Third Hokage (Village Governor) (standard Fire/Water beatdown of death)

vs.

Ibiki (First Proctor), Sakura (Determination), Shikamaru (Formation) - Standard Mental beat team.

Now, if the Jutsu exchange makes it a mental combat (Cheating) and kills Ibiki (Fireball), here is what happens:

0 vs. 7 Mental Power.

Zabuza is killed, Kakashi and Third are injured.

Even if next round they kill one of your ninja, the other lives. And even if injured, has the same mental power as Healthy. They play a new Ibiki your team has been heavily weakened and you're in trouble.

P.S.: Failure negates Perminant Missions, can't do jack to Written Test or Cheating Prevention.

[dust2dust]

that is, assuming you will get another ibiki, and assuming the hokage is the village governor version (could be the SR one with 3 mental.
either way, i think the issue is when ibiki's ability activates. if it activates when the showdown starts (hence starts battling) then if ibiki is injured, the ability does not go off. of course, i have a good feeling im wrong, ill go check the ruling.

P.S.: arguing like this helps me deal with mental decks, normally i don like
arguing too much.

[warajii]

its a really solid build i was going to do it myself you should play maybe 2 wrriten tests

Additional Comment:
ibikis effect activates t the begining so if he gits injured say fire bal they still preform a mental battle resulting in zabuza to die but after that ibkis effect can not activate while in injured status

[evilminion]

Nice mental power build. Can u check out my deck (in sig)

[Asakura_Ryoko]

This deck is in no way vunerable to Zabuza, he as never been a problem once. By the time they can even get Zabuza out, I will have so many options to perform a mental battle it won't even matter. Rakath knows what he's talking about, listen to him.

Made a major update to the deck since my friend bought a godly box today. No.1 Rookie+Temari combo is insane, and it's great 0 drop stats are invaluble to this deck despite it being fire, since I will usually only be able to perform a mental battle until turn 2 or 3. I managed to balance Beatdown/Mental almost perfectly.

[Tana]

I am the friend that bought the box, I run three Zabuzas in my water/lighting and let me tell you, Zabuza in no way owns this deck.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

Like I said, I have so many options to kill high drop ninjas through mental battle by the time they're out they'll still get owned. Not to mention this deck also destroys their hand, and I added more high attack ninjas that synergize with this deck to further reduce this problem. And Failure is hardly a problem :/

Anymore comments?

Made an update

[Rakath]

Hmm... maybe replace 1 Chubby Chou with a Formation Chou

InoShikaCho (With Chubby in place of Formation) on attack: 8
InoShikaCho (With Chubby in place of Formation) on block: 7
InoShikaCho (All Formation) on both: 9

Yes, I know you won't always be playing them ISC, hence only suggesting 1 being Formation.

[Tana]

OMFG, people have no idea how this deck runs I guess. It doesn't matter how strong a ninja is, by turn three it's over unless you side deck pro which still won't help you much. Failure is only usable if your running an earth or a lot of earth tech. The only thing I can see that would semi damage the deck is image of death and thats a turn five card so it probably will only keep you alive for a turn not make you win.

[Rakath]

I know exactly how this deck runs. However I also know that crazy happens and all your Ibiki can become battle rewards. Hence InoShikaCho being a viable secondary.

[Tana]

I didn't mean you Rakath. Actully I think your the best person at this game on the board. I am making a wind/water deck I am I going to post it in a sec so if you could give me some advice that would be great.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

I'll do that fix.

Additional Comment:
I'm trying to find a replacement for Red Four Leaf Clover. Any suggestions?

[Rakath]

Hmm... if you want to replace both of them... one should go for a Written Test, the other for a Promise of the Past.

I don't really like written test, but I'll try out Promise from the Past since the picture is hot. I really want to replace the second RLC with a Saskura's Decision but I don't have one :/

[Tana]

lol Aris it's the only mental deck you have ever seen.

y r u so mad?

[Tana]

I attempted to **** this deck in it's sleep cause it's that pro.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

I took out 2 Ino since they were just slowing the deck down and leading to horrible draws. I replaced them for a konohamaru and ebisu for now, but any other suggestioins on what to replace them for would be coo.

[Tana]

Well, if you are not goint to use Ino, then I see no reason why you should use Choji. I would replace him for somthing else.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

Chouji is a good earth beatstick that is necessary. I don't want all my high support ninjas to go to waste.

[l YuG1MaN l]

i would think about adding 1 or 2 sakuras decision

[Tana]

He can't afford that **** son. Or he would have it in the deck.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

yo i got that **** son.

[Tana]

No **** son I was there when you got it.

[FirX]

i know iwas the one who traded it 2 you

[Tana]

That was coo when you pulled it in your box.

[Asakura_Ryoko]

stop being nubs.

[Tana]

I remember you said you wanted to take out the cheating perventions and put in somthing else, but you couldn't find anything to replace it with. I have found somthing you might want to test, Leaf Ninja Forces. This card is pretty hawt. Test it when you come over.

[DarkWenis]

If it were less agro i'd throw in one or two suzumes cause she mentally retardates your opponent. But it's agro/mental so never mind.
