Kakashi Hatake

[_Haku_]

I run a fire deck and I was wondering which Kakashi do YOU think is better.
The three best Kakashi's I think are...

064 (Valid: When this Ninja's Team wins a Victory or an Outstanding Victory, it gets 1 Battle Reward. When it is Defeated or Complete Defeated, your opponent gets 1 Battle Reward.)

023 ({Copy Ninja}
When your opponent's Ninja Battling against this Ninja gets additional Combat by the effects of Jutsu cards, this Ninja also receives the same amount of additional Combat during this turn.)

037 ({Confidence in Subordinates}
All Ninjas with both "Leaves Facition" and "Genin" in this Ninja's Team get +0/+1 during the turn they are sent out to Battle.)

Please help me with this because I dont want to have to run three different Kakashis in my deck.

[Makuku]

I prefer Copy Ninja. However, I actually run one of the non effect ones, just cause he's a good turn four drop to support. But, I run two copy ninjas, and one non-effect, so my vote would go for three Copy Ninjas for your deck.

[Rakath]

It's pretty standard to run one or two early turn drops and a high turn drop (exception: Zabuza Demon) currently my Fire/Lightning is 1 Copy, 1 Confidence, and 1 No effect.

[Skater_Strike]

I'm still addicted to using Copy Ninja because of all the starter decks I play with 3 Cross Shapeds, Kunais, etc.

[Rakath]

Yeah, but we got the new Sharingan that does the same.

[Tana]

Early Settlement is the best IMO followed by copy ninja.

[Stryker92]

I'm fairly new to the game, but I was wondering, what about that Promo Kakashi, one that lets you play Jutsu cards for free, if your opponent has a copy of said Jutsu card, in their Discard Pile?

the chances that you have the same justu card is pretty low

[Justmcnew]

The 4 drop Kakashi from Path to Hokage is pretty much splashable in any deck since he doesn't have a discard cost which is a plus.

I actually like Confidence in Subordinates alot better than Copy Ninja, because the main downside to Copy Ninja is that it only copies power stat pumping oriented Jutsu's such as Kunai and Cross-Shaped Shuriken.

It can really come in handy against a Taijutsu deck, since Copy Ninja can copy Leaf Whirlwind and Leaf Hurricane.

Tough decision though...

[Stegasaurus]

[Early Settlement] Kakashi is broken. End of discussion. XD

[Rakath]

Justmcnew: Copy Ninja CANNOT copy Leaf Whirlwind.

Stegasaurus: Early Settlement is hardly broken, since it can be used against them by just beating it.

No, Copy Ninja Kakashi can copy Leaf Whirlwind. The card says "when your opponent's Ninja battling against this Ninja gets additional power"; the text is not specific to only the Head Ninja.

And I have no idea what you're second statement said, lol.

When your opponent's Ninja Battling against this Ninja gains addition COMBAT by the effects of Jutsu cards, this ninja also recieves the same ammount of additional COMBAT during this turn.

Combat is NOT the same as Power.

[D.W.Master]

The Kakashi's I like to use are the No Effect Kakashi and the Copy Ninja Kakashi.

[thegetbacker]

Copy Ninja ftw, he is just a get lead when your opponents have ICs.

[Sasuke2]

2 kakashi early settlement and 1 no effect 4 drop kakashi is the way to go. Early settlement is so good because he basically bypasses all of your opponents chump blockers. 1 of the no effect kakashi is good for early support/combat.

[topdeckerwalker]

The best is obviously the first one, but he is also a super rare. I prefer the copy ninja because of his awesome effect and the fact that he is a rare. The thing I like to remember is that no matter which Kakashi you use they can all use Lightning Blades. Also the Copy Ninja is amazing against anyone who uses raw power to win games.

[dust2dust]

one needs to look at what deck they are running first, before making a mistake of running the wrong kakashi. if you run all 5 drops in water/fire, you'll be in trouble. on the other hand, for a fire/wind, if you run all all 4 drop kakashi, then you'll not have too much power either. thats what i think

[Justmcnew]

Hey Rakath, so what does the term "Combat" in card effects mean in the game since it's not the same as a ninjas stats (healthy or injured)?

I realized what makes (Early Settlement) Kakashi good is that you still get a battle reward If your opponent blocks him or the team he's on, still it's not bad but I wouldn't say this is the best Kakashi out right now.

(Copy Ninja) Kakashi is ok but he's mainly good If your opponent plays stuff like Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, Kunai, Cross-Shaped Shuriken, etc.

Also (Confidence in Subordinates) Kakashi is actually pretty good. Alot of people tend to underrate him as weak but his true power lies in teamwork especially If you got him teamed up with (Precious Fellow) Naruto and Sakura.

[KUNAI]

GO GO vanilla Kakashi

That would be a weak deck L/wind/F crap for chakra and well just crap... Copy Cat is the best in my book..

[Justmcnew]

Rakath, I also looked up the term "Combat" in the Naruto CCG Rulebook and it says that:

NOTE: "Combat" and "Support" are combined to represent "Power".

I wasn't trying to be rude or anything, I was just trying to make a clarification to see If you were right or not...

[PURE Guts]

ya support from other ninja i know this but you wouldnt beable to get good chakra flow and puting your deck base around one team is not a good idea.. well atleast till more coppys of the card comes out with a diff name... there is a SLIGHT possiblity a deck of that sort could be constructed but i highly dout it...

[Rakath]

The whole Combat/Support/Power came up when rulings were made for Mind Transfer Jutsu.

Combat (Left side - Head Ninja)
Support (Right side - Back Ninja)
Power (Combat + Support)

Power only applies to Ninja/Mission/Jutsu/Client/(Warrior) effects.

[Justmcnew]

I never mentioned anything about basing a deck around one team of ninja.:rolleyes:

I was just saying that (Confidence in Subordinates) Kakashi is best played when he's teamed up with (Precious Fellow) Naruto and Sakura (Precious Fellow or Determination versions).

Still he's alright, though.

[Rakath]

The game is more and more about 'remove a ninja', 'hurt a ninja', and 'kill a ninja' tactics. 'Pump a ninja' is a very limited decktype to work from. It means Copy Ninja will constantly lose favor as new Kakashi cards are released.

We get very few pump cards next set, Copy Nin has started to lose his shine.

lol...
as for the subordinates kakashi:
you can make a fun deck with nothing but pumps. it won't work as well but you might be able to focus mainly on fire (half of the deck). i donno about you but i want to try this idea.

[Ignatious]

well it depends on the deck, a deck that already has a strong 5 drop, but needs a 4 drop would obviously run the 4 drop kakashi, decks such as Fire/Water, Fire/Lightning (for now), and mono Fire. a deck that needs a late game turn 5 jonin to kick arss would run [ES] kakashi, he tends to end games a bit quick dontcha think? if u dont have 3 of him, then use [SEK], he can use 8 trigram/fireball/sharingan for FREE! in a deck that runs exhaustion, this card is great! deck that need the 5 drop kakashi is Fire/Wind, and Fire/Earth.

[galvanized737]

ok early settlement is the best makes winning quicker and i know the fastest 1's sucks ass but combined with kakasi its easy to win, not to mention the copy ninja sucks on the count if you have multi shadow kunai or any other addition gaining thing he can easily be stopped by shadow possesion water prison or escape jutsu thats his flaw and vanilla(blank) kakashi is the second best cause hes easy to get out and is compatible with any deck almost
