Sasuke Analysis of incompetence vs. No.2 rookie

[hafesie]

Psst...I like adding letters or changing the name of my cards....only if I have spares, of course.

Which one do you think is better? I personally prefer rookie as it can be used late game as well as Early under some circumstances, unlike AoC.

Rookie+Temari
means they basically have to block, and if they get injured, they discard a card.

Rookie+Naruto SSA
Basically a good way to make your opponent's ninja injure.

AoC+Temari
Gives an early team of 6.

AoC+Naruto SSA
Nice, solid early team with a nice effect in case Sasuke gets injured.

It is worth noting that AoC can be avoided by sticking Konohamaru in a team as back ninja...even as head ninja sometimes if it is injured. No.1 Rookie can only be avoided by having less than 2 teams, which is usually a bad thing cos the other teams can just pass through.

[Skater_Strike]

Analysis is the best Sasuke, hands down. Temari is worthless now that Ino is ran in threes.

Choji owns all the Sasukes so it really doesn't matter.

[eiru]

just to let u know not all decks run 3 inos

[Skater_Strike]

just to let u know not all decks run 3 inos

If they want to lose, that's their problem.

[nogard]

just to let u guys know that rookie is the best sasuke now

[Skater_Strike]

LOL! Sure, You play your Rookie, I'll play Choji, let's see who wins.

[nogard]

i pay shika now wat

[Skater_Strike]

i pay shika now wat

I growth Choji and play Shika.

[nogard]

thats fine ill block that

[hafesie]

I use auto-win

Jutsu 1 fire
gain 9 battle rewards.

Eh eh eh eh.

And which Choji would that be?

Don't people use string control Jutsu to switch temari to the back? If you lose, the team doesn't have a head ninja, does it? So therefore, you lose nothing.

Ino states that they an only be SENT out to battle as head. They can still be effected by cards (i.e. Substitution Jutsu) to replace head with back, etc.

psst...what does growthing a card do (I actually know how platoons and everything else...never got round to growth).

I still stand by my rookies. Which choji are you guys referring to?

[Sabaku-no-gaara-]

they are reffering to the new ER formation choji. IMO i think AOC is sbetter to run bet hey thats me i used to run rookie b4 AOC and i still won tournies so its just a matter of preference and not all decks run 3 ino i would know seeings as i only run 2 in my decks{same goes for my friends} and we still end up winning tournies

[Rasengan86]

Sasuke (aoc) is the king of 0 drops. He beats all 0 drops. Next comes ino, then Naruto (cop), then Chouji (f) er, then Sasuke (no.1r). Tht's how i see it.

Sasuke (aoc)>Sasuke (no.1r)

Naruto CoP was th best untill that whore Ino came along.

[visserac88]

I play nine tailed chakra, and I figured if you feel like dropping 6 cards from the top of your deck for COP you obviously have a bad hand and jutsus. Also your gonna have a good chance of ditching your precious Ino's. COP is more of a bluff then anything.

Iv'e never played a game that had Ino controling more than 2 rounds. She seems to do nothing late game because picking between 3 jonins and a genin or 2 wont control a beefed team.

I play Avenger, Power of the Curse Mark, and RFTLA. Avenger can hold of a team for a bit but after being growthed he does pretty well. AOC sucks late game and he can't do anything against my turn 1 kakashi, might guy, and itachi (not that much of you can agree to that).

CoP was good because if you you play CoP on turn zero, and then played Temari on turn 1. Who'd going to block knowing if you pump him you can CV their ninja and be up two ninjas.

lol wow...im not big on wind, what temari is this?

[hafesie]

The one which makes your opponent discard a card when this ninja's team injures a ninja on the other team.

Please note that sasuke No.1 Rookie can be used late game tactically and early game strategically as well as the normal stuff.

Say you needed 2 battle rewards and if you didn't get them you lost (deck out). You have 2 teams of 5 and your opponent has 2 teams of 999999999. In this situation, would you prefer AoC, Choji or No.1 Rookie?

Emi is what I would do, but you probably used emi already.

If you sent AoC, you lose, cos...work out the maths. If you have no1 rookie though, you FORCE them to block it, and then one of your '5' teams have to go through, getting 2 rewards, and winning.

Choji doesn't help much either, nor does anything else really.

BTW....How does growth work?

[Skater_Strike]

lol wow...im not big on wind, what temari is this?

Temari Analyical Mind, basicaly a 0/3 turn one. with a injured CoP is 9 team power on turn one. But of course, Ino makes Temari cry.

If you go techy and I go power early game, I also win. Why do you think people play Analyical Mind over Violent Temper?

You can't growth a ninja the turn it was put into play.

You growth a ninja my playing a ninja with growth on a ninja of the same name, the ninja that got growth goes to the charka area. You place a growth coin that means +1/+1.

I can growth Sasuke AoC into Sasuke Reason for the LA and it'd be a 5/1 on turn 1/2.

[hafesie]

Wait...so does the one WITH growth go to chakra or the one without?

If I had naruto vanilla and played a naruto with growth, which one goes to chakra and which one gets +1+1?

No.1 Rookie is tactical and hand advantage. noo hand=no power.

finnaly someone who belives me that no.1 rookie is good
the one in your hand has to have growth in order to use growth so if you do that then the one from your hand gets the coin

and to skate if you dont belive me im fine with that if i played you in real life and you used aoc and i used rookie i would own you cause ive played numerous people with aoc and owned all of then cause vs. shika aoc doesnt have an effect but guess what rookie got his effect all ready the game isnt all early game power you know. your probibly(sp) one of those people who net deck and try to buy all of the good cards or even worse a yugi player

Kay *******, why the hell would I netdeck when the deck costs around 200 dollars? No thanks. And you *******, I don't even play AoC. My Choji owns all your Sasuke.

answer me this one question do your chojis help you late game
i dont think so as rookie in a team of 3rd and the platoon means a team of 11 that you allways have to block and ill be taking back all of your brs

[hafesie]

Nogard...I started the thread and said No.1 rookie was better...so of course I agree with you :)

Rookie can also be used as "Bait". If your opponent only had 2 teams and you had 3, with one of them sasuke 1 rookie, then you can use that one as bait for your other team(s) to go through.

Unlike Choji, AoC, CoP, Ino Formation, etc.
Shika can to a certain extent with mental, but....

Even without a puppet platton you can get Asuma+Kurenai for 11 and stick sasuke in.

So late game, sasuke is a lure/bait or can be teamed with puppet platoon, Asuma+kurenai, Third Hokage for healing, and lots of other stuff. Early on, for early hand advantage, also for bait and for healing with Ichiraku noodle shop, after the battle, etc.

Unlike AoC or Choji.

Early game Ninjas aren't mean't to dominate LATE game.

[richizzle]

Power owns everything in naruto ( except Ino lol).

[hafesie]

And hand control is power.

Skater: But N.1 Rookie DOES help late game, making it a late game ninja as well. Unlike AoC or Choji.

Choji is good late game as long as you have Shikamaru, which I almost always have.

Hand Control is the one thing in Naruto that you can't make a sucessful deck around.

Inherit thanks you
AoUR hugs you
One Morning/Sakura's Decision kisses you good night

[ShadowJFX]

Wow that was really freaky in that last post, but aoc is so freakin awesome, you draw it first turn, its a damn, 4/0 I PROMISE though you probably already know that, plus with an ino in the group, omg, SENSORY OVERLOAD....

I bought this thread off of Ebay, j00.

Sakura D? That card is awful now.

Choji CAN BE A LATE GAME CARD, Shikamaru makes him own all game.

wow can you read i never said sakura D but anyway in the right deck its good a 3 support w/ 3 mental
so late game your going to have a max team of 9 considering both shika and choji were growthed agaist my team of 11 that you have to block i think ill win

Why the hell do you think I have QUESTION MARK BESIDE IT?

Use Choji's effect that'll bring tyou down 2 or 4 points.

[ShadowJFX]

yea as long as you got shika and choji, you can just pwn all day, lol have a third hokage, and you can continue to heal the choji.

[Skater_Strike]

[ShadowJFX]

yea, i suppose that would work too :P

-JFX

[hafesie]

Don't you see.....No.1 rookie is still better.

How can Choji be used well late game? Assuming you could growth it, and even if you can, isn't a third hokage/jirya/naruto SSA with string control for Something else better?

[visserac88]

wow dudes.

[hafesie]

...

Now it is a no.1 rookie vs choji formation.

[Katsuragi Keima]

This thread is pointless.

No.1 Rookie Sasuke was good back in Coils if you didn't have any AoC. He's useless now. He might pop up every now and then...Only to get eaten by a CoP...or an AoC.

AoC is one of the best 0 drops in the game as far as offense goes. Who cares if he sucks late game? Ever heard of chumping?

Choji devours AoC for breakfast, and in some cases, CoP too. Choji is a beast. he is not to be underestimated.

Ino is ran in every deck now, and if you don't run her, you will lose. Period. She controls games up until about turn 5-6.

CoP can control early-mid game if you mess with your opponent's mind. "Oh...how much power is your team? Mine is at 5." "Oh...I'm at 4, plus I can pump if I want." "Okay, I pass...Your turn." <-Win.

You guys forgot an important 0 drop in all of this...IQ Shika maybe? Everyone loved this guy before ER Formation showed up. I still see him ran at tourneys, but not as much as he used to. Some people refuse to modernize >.>

Another 0 drop seeing play is schizophrenic Sakura. She pwns.

[hafesie]

I don't have any mental players at my tourney so it is pointless basically...

Rookie pwns more than anything. THINK!!!

INO DOES NOT pwn my deck...or any other deck...it is only for 1 turn.

choji is fat....and he is not BAD, but wouldn't you rather have 4th in the team other than choji? no.1 rookie has great combos with him, unlike choji.

MOst people have an iq of more than just shikamaru.... about 90 points more. CoP is dum. Unless you run "A kind Teacher" (not that anyone other than me does)

Chumping is for stuff like konohamaru...absolute useless stuff that gives an advantage early on but sucks later. AoC is the same...but rookie is early AND late. So why go for chumping when you have a better option?

Rookie is a beast. Beast is a rookie. End of story...for 1 hr.

[Arcane_Fox]

Okay, AoC is better than #1 Rookie, Why?

Turn 0: I drop AoC you drop Rookie, mines stronger than urs I swing, you give me 1 BR, im in the lead.

Turn 1: You Drop Temari, I drop Ino, Temari has to be sent out as a head ninja, so either you remove temari from the team, or you have a team of 0, either way, AoC Beats it

Etc. Etc...

I still play IQ Shika but the formations last text is really good. I still don't agree with #1 rookie or AOC being the best but when a new SR Sasuke comes out then this never ending thread will be over.

An SR Sasuke comes next set, but he's a 3 drop.

So...are all you No.1 Rookie lovers telling me that you want to run a 0 drop for late game? 0 drops are meant to help you early, and even if this Sasuke can help you late game, why would you team that crap with an ES over, say, Kurenai or Inoichi?

If you think CoP is dumb you must not be very good at this game. You don't need A Kind Teacher with him, even though it is a good strategy. CoP is a monstrous 0 drop. End of discussion regarding him.

Are you telling me...you don't like Choji...because he's fat? Now you really fail.

Ino only works for 1 turn? Are you serious? Seriously? Ino kills ANY deck. ANY. That's it. If you don't agree, why don't you go to a tourney and get murdered by one?

I can...uhh...Read Japanese! Carddass is a breeze.

His (broken) effect states that he can negate any jutsu by discarding 1 card from his owner's hand.

He's a 5/1 0/0 Rogue Ninja/Male/Sharingan, No Leaf or Genin stats.

turn 3 5 combat.....

Rookie CAN be used late game, giving him an advantage. Not has to be used.

Ok you drop AoC I drop Rookie you attack You get 1 BR. I play temari and ATTACK! OMG I attacked how amazing! Then I either get 2 or a discard. OK you block and play ino WTF is the point? You don't block I MIGHT magically accidentally discard INO..what a shame. OK you get INO I let through for 2 and then get Naruto SSA......Bye Bye Sasuke AoC and Rookie...say hello Temaro and SSA...team of 0...Ino doesn't matter. Injure Naruto hey same thing happens another team of 5 injure Temari sure your dude injured next turn I swing Garra and pwn you all.

From the owners hand...imagine if you could take control of the ninja and play random crud jutsu.

SSA kills head ninjas. No one uses Ino as a back ninja, much less a head ninja. GG. I'll be the person demolishing your supporters and team power with Ino. I'll be the one killing your No.1's with "fat" Choji. I'll be the one scaring you into not attacking with CoP. You'll be the one teaming No.1 Rookie with an ES while I team Kakashi with Asuma/Shikamaru. GG. My Toad deck means GG once Naru/Bunta hits the field. Lets see your No.1 Rookie eat a Liquid Bullet.

Well no s***, SSA is a damn 1 drop. -________- Choji kills all 0 drops with no hesitation.

[hafesie]

Shikamaru may make it 0 drop, but attacking with SSA while your opponent HAS no shikamaru...

Even so, if you use Choji's effect it is 1-1. Next turn you attack with something crud and bash them up.

Shikamaru may make it 0 drop, but attacking with SSA while your opponent HAS no shikamaru...

More than likey, your opponent is going to have Shikamaru if they play the 3 like most people do.

You can't compare Choji and SSA they are different drops, ninjas, and the effects are different.

Choji is more usefull in my opinon.

But I like SSA more than the new Naruto.

[yasmin]

well heres some things for u to think about

shiki er as back with choji as head,ino as stand by ninja,hinata (er).

lets see u beat that after i kill alot of ur ninja's


and playing 3 shiki (F) (er) THATS A LIL OVER KILL.

2. have you heard of shika that stops those effects
3. aoc doesnt get his effect if hes battling a shika

go back to grade school and come see me when you can create a grammaticaly correct sentence, bizzzle
How does SSA make Ino uselss if I don't send her out like anyone with sense wouldn't.
if you keep her in a seperate team then rookie will make you block him
I win, obviously.
uh, no you dont especially if you think that choiji is a late game card
well heres some things for u to think about

shiki er as back with choji as head,ino as stand by ninja,hinata (er).

lets see u beat that after i kill alot of ur ninja's


and playing 3 shiki (F) (er) THATS A LIL OVER KILL.
um, lets see, my rookie with shika as a back will kill that team; oh and rookie will force you to block that team

ok but if he does that both get damage and then i have advantage cause im playing another ninja

[visserac88]

lol what if he plays another ninja first...it's all in who gets what and the coin toss. Ya never know unless you battle. if you put the cards on the table obviously #1 rookie has a better effect but in the first few rounds Id rather want AOC. If AOC is not backed up in the start, it just proves the game is gonna be one sided.

AOC in the starting and No.1 later, it all depends when you need it.

how many games have you played without your opp. having a shika or ino early. Shika on aoc = 3, shika on rookie = 3 but guess what rookie got his effect allready

[visserac88]

without your opp? My gf, brother, and I all play diffrent decks so I never play without an opponent. I'm guessing opp is opponent. Even tho they both are not valid and both would get damaged. I still don't know why I'm defending all of this cuz i wouldn't play either of them.

i said without your opp having a shika or ino in play early, but even you should know that now its better to have effects that activate before battle or when they are put in play. You do run shika and ino right

My gf plays both but I don't. The only thing you need to worry about my deck is itachi on turn one. Given that shika is still on the opponents field and my ninjas effects don't work I still win less than turn 5....most of the time.

just wondering do you have any es if so do u run them

If your here for trading then why are you on this thread. Look at you trying to put caps and puntuation where they belong. you dont even know correct sentence structure its not WHY IF I HAVE THIS its WHAT IF I HAVE THIS. Also about your last comment if you go by the card itself, then in your mind gamabunta is the best card ever.

LOL! Sure, You play your Rookie, I'll play Choji, let's see who wins.


Forget both of them, I'd run Naruto COP against Choji

[hafesie]

Lol that is so funny give 1 damage to CoP pop it dies bye bye.

CoP
Rookie
Temari (VIOLENT TEMPER!!!)

Pwnage team. Must block.

[Katsuragi Keima]

Choji kills Naruto CoP...unless you feel like losing 4 cards from your deck on turn 0.

WTF!

Win Scythe > VT. Get with the meta please.

Also, in case you didn't notice, if you opponent DOESN'T block, you get BRs. Nice job on stalling your win. That team won't be awesome when you opponent makes Temari your head ninja with Ino. GG.

Choji would die from naruto if he used his effect and if he wouldn't use the effect Cop would throw it in his face. Other then that it would depend on the next drops.

If I remember right, Choji injures any ninja that automatically battles it. If I were to send out my uninjured Naruto against Choji and Choji injures it Naruto injured attack would be 3 making Naruto the stronger Ninja.

That's not the strategy for killing a Naruto.

Lets say I send out my Choji and you block with your uninjured Naruto. All Narutos are 0/0 healthy, so your Naruto would take 1 damage from Choji's 2/0 (again, you can pump Naruto 2-3 times to avoid him getting injured...but that's not good on turn 0.) Next turn, my opponent sends out his now injured Naruto and I block with my Choji. Then, I declare Choji's effect and your Naruto would take 1 damage, killing him.

Please keep in mind that Choji's effect is OPTIONAL, and can be used whenever you see fit. GG.

wow dude just wow.

You really think that someone would just let COP get punk'd by choji knowing next turn he would die. First i don't think you would attack because you would have a chance loseing Choji. If you didn't use his effect and would have no chakra I would kill choji for sure. My COP never gets injured and stalls my apponent until COP gets Growthed by OP.

To beat Choji with CoP, you would need to pump him by at least 2. Losing 4 cards on turn 0 is risky IMO.

I would attack with Choji.

pumping in the start is far less worse then pumping late game. Late game is easyer to figure out what cards are still in your deck and COP would be far over dead by then. Both choji and duso kill naruto easy, but COP is diffrent. I would easly ditch 4-6 cards to get rid of them knowing they don't have valid.

and i wouldn't care for losing 4-6 cards starting game, thus killing choji.

I thought COP was made for pumping early game. I would even be using COP late game because of way stronger ninjas starting to appear. And getting rid of a few cards off the top early will let you know what kind of strategy you can set up later on in the game.

during late game I would be useing OP over COP for sure but ditching cards in the start is far little risk. COP and AOC is a sweet start followed by some nice back-up.

Anyway....This is how I think it works...with ACTUAL REASON! wow! how amazing!

SSA>Ino
Who gives if SSA is head or back...effect works anyway.

Rookie>AoC
AoC wins the battle, Rookie wins the war (AoC is brute power, Rookie has strategy)

9TC=CoP
Why add cards into your deck if you want to dump them? Sure you can put stuff on CoP and not 9TC but is the 6 card dump worth it?

OP=Late game card with low entrance cost
Who said early game ninja are not to be used late game?

NTC is garbage now. Not being able to include other ninjas in his team is a horrible downside. CoP is easily better than NTC because NTC is completely reliant on your hand, which sucks. He was good back in the Path/Coils days, but he won't see play anymore. Also, Choji kills NTC. CoP is better.

[hafesie]

Reason?

Hey I can provide proper reason for my arguments, unlike you.

Having 6 cards in your hand requires strategy. OP is a low entrance cost ninja late game....and you said they are crud late game.

CoP can dump the most valuable items from your deck. If it was +1+0 PER CARD, it would be great. However, at +1+0 per 2 cards.....

I use 1 9TC and pwn lots of ppl....go commons. Revenge never cam out in AUS, not that it really matters. 9tc is pwnage. Losing cards isn't the smartest thing to do. Why have cards in your deck if you wish to dump them all? Why not put crud in?

I agree with OP for sure but one in a deck is enough.

9TC can't be paired while at most he can only be a 6. Choji, shika, and dosu kills it. A deck is made to have cards work together. Your opponent is never going to know if your gonna pump with COP and he's way more wicked with support. While 9TC is on your field in the start your not gonna have any earlychakra cuz your gonna be worried about your sweet 6 power. 9TC dosen't have growth and he's screwed after turn 2.

At most your only going to use Cop's effect once cuz your opponent's not going to play chicken with a train.

I've proven my reason over and over, you *******es just don't want to admit your "tech" isn't better than AoC.

So you're willing to take 4-6 BR just so you can use a zero drop LATE GAME?

Idiots.

[hafesie]

No I proved you wrong. You said 0 drop ninja were useless late game, but OP is useful. So why don't you admit it?

9TC>CoP in MY OPINION! omg! an opinion!

Why add cards if you wish to dump them all over again? Just add cheap crud then.

9TC requires no Dumping, and hey, you can use him for chumping.

OMG....See? Your own argument. Use early game stuff for chumping.

AoC isn't good in Tempo, Choji, CoP, and Ino are the Tempo zero drops.

Still, AoC IS BETTER THAN ROOKIE.

I dont think choji is a tempo card as you need a 3 man team to make it a 5 while aoc all you need is a 2 support.

Have you been to any big tornys lately after er cause i have, and rookie was owning aocs.

If I was a mod this thread would be SO locked. It's pointless.

You clearly prefer No.1 while the rest of us prefer AoC, simply for the fact that he is a heavier hitter than No.1. Rookie, in my opinion, should not be ran unless you make a deck with a specific use for him. Mono-Fire will NOT run Rookie, period. Ever. It's either AoC or Reason or the Late Arrival. Rookie might be good in a Tempo build along with Shino [Original Opponent], but he will not be used outside of those deck builds. No.1 might be able to help late game, but everyone knows that if you go into late game with Tempo, chances are you will lose, therefore No.1 might not even see use in that archetype.

To address the other topics, CoP is a great card. He sees play in almost every deck, unless Legacy of the Fourth Hokage is being ran, which it should be in everything but Tempo. CoP is great in Tempo, Genin Rush, or any other sort of Beat Down deck. Legacy should be ran over him in Water, Fire, or any mix the two might have, such as Water/Earth or Fire/Earth.

Overflowing Power Naruto is a good card. The fact that he's a turn 1 Ninja sucks because he can only be of use late game. People don't like him because he needs to be injured to be good, and an injured attacker can easily be taken care of by Paper Bombs or Fireballs.

Ino is broken. End of discussion. If you feel she in NO way affects your village, teams, or strategies, you are clearly out of your mind.

Did I miss anything? XD

do you know what tempo is cause if you did you would know that etb sasuke is the one you want to play not rookie.
I wish i could go to all of your shops and play you guys in person so i can show you guys how good rookie is.
Also mono fire will not run aoc or rfla period. its btl

the only reason why choji is better in tempo is cause its on element, but ill take sasuke over choji cause you need a 3 support or most likely 2 support ninjas for him as sasuke only needs 1

Hmm...I see the discussions are actually getting to discussions.

Who said you run Rookie in Tempo? Run it in normal deck. I won with it once...forced his big team to block my little rookie and got 4br...game.

AoC is a stronger hitter, but Rookie gives early and late advantage...which is one good thing about it. It also has strategical early game advantages with Temari and shikamaru, as you can force a mental battle.

I do understand your AoC arguments, however, still think Rookie is better. Simply the options and flexibility of Rookie make me run him.

I do understand your AoC arguments, however, still think Rookie is better. Simply the options and flexibility of Rookie make me run him.

now thats what im talking bout

[visserac88]

Id play diffrent sasukes then rookie or AOC but it all depends what deck sasuke is in and what deck your playing against. AOC has become a must in all decks that mixes with fire around my place and I have never seen Rookie played once. Your only gonna use Rookies effect once and AOC is only good until turn 3-4 at most...I hate both. Id rather see other turn 0's played and stick to the turn 1 sasukes.

[nogard]

the reason why you havent seen rookie played is cause its secret tech if theres an event down here in cali before the next set be sure to see rookie in the top tables

[Katsuragi Keima]

Lol. Rookie isn't secret tech with the way we're discussing him here.

I doubt anyone will be using No.1 Rookie. Freedori uses BtL, other Fire decks use AoC or RftLA, or maybe even PotCM from ER. All these Sasukes are better than No.1, so people would have to go through quite a few to even consider running him. I haven't seen ANYONE run No.1 at my local tourney spot.

[visserac88]

I play Avenger, RFTLA, and POTCM. I seen a kid play Rookie once....Kudos for the kid after he got 12th place.....out of 12 ppl.

[x}{gaara}{x]

both suck in this meta but aoc is better end of story this thread has long over lived its purpose and has become off topic

alot of the good people dont go here anyways so it doesnt matter

pretty good running 3 different 1 drops. that kid was probably a noob
both suck in this meta but aoc is better end of story this thread has long over lived its purpose and has become off topic
aoc sucks in this meta as rookie doesnt have his effect negated by shika, also why post if it has long over lived its pourpose.

back on topic if you guys can see no aoc or other sasukes made it in the top 4 execpt(sp) for rookie btl and flowering, also me and my 2 other teammates who were all running rookies made top 8 at our chunin.

[richizzle]

WoW what a discussion. Here's my opinion rookie got much better with this set thanks to shikamaru Formation. Shikamaru's effect takes priority even if AOC is attacking so it won't gain any boost. Basically its a 3 combat VS a 3 combat + nice effect. STILL this is too situational, like I always say in naruto power is superior to effect (their might be some exception like Ino). Since people runs Ino in 3 their is almost no chance you'll get a team of Rookie + shikamaru. That will leave AOC VS Rookie. Guess who'll win? Rookie is a great card especially in Tempo but AOC is much better in any other decks.

[hafesie]

Yes, Shikamaru's effect takes priority...but is priority in this game like yu-gi-oh where it activates first, therefore resolving last or does it just activate and resolve first?

In other words, do they choose who to block and THEN you use shika's effect or do you use shikas effect then they block?

Anyway, Rookie with INO is also good, similar to Shikamaru.

You see, the sad thing about Ino is "String Control Jutsu".

BTW, the shikamaru I was talking about was shikamaru [IQ of 2 or lower (read first post)]

As said before, the simple flexibility of Rookie makes it superior.

What if you have a Shikamaru and a Temari? They can only have 1 Ino.

Shikamaru + Something else that can force mental? "Cheating" (mission)?

[richizzle]

Shikamaru's effect takes priority immediately when your opponent chooses to block with a team.

[nogard]

rookie is not good in tempo i dont know why you guys think its good in that deck

[Naruto_Lee_019]

i think rookie is WAY BETTER than aoc. aoc is good till turn 2 thats it. then he blows horribly and your basically down a ninja to attack your opponent with early on in the game. rookie on the other hand can long serve it's purpose. he gets you easy battle rewards late game by making your opponent use their big team to block puny little rookie while your other teams take battle rewards.

the REAL question here is which do you want more? power or battle rewards? last i checked the objective was to win 10 battle rewards and you win. i think i'll take 2-4 battle rewards early/late game than get +1 combot for about 2 turns.

in the end rookie>aoc END OF DISCUSSION. :cool: <cuz i could :p

[Arcane_Fox]

AoC beats Rookie -_- and AoC is hardly runnable anymore, seeing as theres MUCH better 0 Drops *Sakura, Ino, Choji, Naruto* and the fact that BtL should be taking his place.

AoC - Turn 0-2: He is a 4 most likely
Rookie - 0-2: He is a 3, AoC can beat him, or you gimme BR's, either or I'm happy ..

After that, I won't need Sasuke, I'll have a new head ninja, if u try to send out sasuke and go like "Lawlz block me nub!" I just use my Standby ninja *AoC Maybe =D* and beat ur Rookie -_-,

Rookie's effect goes off ONCE, and it ONLY works *Good* LATE game, and when ur opponent has only 1 team, and u have 3, That's never going to happen .. Why? Because, while u were using Rookie early game, I'd be wreaking ur field with Naruto and AoC -_-

[hafesie]

Rookie+Shikamaru...cough cough cough

Since your opponent chooses to block (well, he doesn't choose, the Rookie chooses for him), you then discard 2 cards to force mental.

Ok...next turn INO is played.

I play...er...crud I suck at remembering names. This wind ninja that lets u perform mental battle, turn 2 0/0...0/0 or use cheating mission.

In fact, I don't need to do any of that, but that would help. I could just send shik at head ninja and mental that way.

If your opponent cheats and gets 3 ino on the field, then you have rookie, shikamaru and that chunin, or sakura and that chunin with Cheating or something. Send out rookie and shikamaru and sakura....if 3 ino block then all 3 injure, if something else blocks then you mental to death.

Please note you have to block Rookie.

What? You say how could I have such a team of ninjas on the field?

How could they get 3 ino on the field?

how would you be wreaking my field if i have shika to negate your effect
oh thats right you cant

[Arcane_Fox]

how would you be wreaking my field if i have shika to negate your effect
oh thats right you cant

uh huh .. You do know people run Shikamaru + Ino in 3 right -_-

Also the fact that we'd still tie AoC + Shika against Rookie + Shika ... And I'm valid, ur not o.O

I'm sorry, your post HARDLY made any sense, Mind Explaining it again?

The points I got though: Ur using Shika IQ, Suzume and Cheating -_-, if ur using those ur going to lose anyways, trust me, name 1 Competitive deck that used those 3.

and you think that i dont run ino as well
do i have to tell you again rookie/3rd/platoon what are you going to do

[hafesie]

My idea is that rookie+something that can force mental battles is good. They HAVE to block, and forcing mental is easy from there.

[Arcane_Fox]

True, but that'd mean he'd be good in mental decks, not other's -_-'

Also, most players run Shikamaru in 3's, and most of those players run Flex, which can stop mental alltogether.

and you think that i dont run ino as well
do i have to tell you again rookie/3rd/platoon what are you going to do

Well, seeing as how It'd be hard to beat that team anyways, I'd rather just have ES scoring BR's in that team over a rookie.

yea i see your point but the pont of that team is to get back your brs and then they have to block with their 3rd sooner or later

[richizzle]

Omg... I already given my opinion but I will day it again in a simple way... AOC> rookie.. rookie's good but not as much as AOC. End of discussion now mods please close this thread.

[hafesie]

STOP FLAMMIN!!!

No-one in my local runs flex. All run AoC and 1 Shikamaru with 3 temari.

OK you play flex....sure I DONT mental battle then.

Rookie>aoc cos of FLEXIBILITY!! omg Rookie is the new Shikamaru..it has FLEXIBILITY.

That is why it is better, it can be used in many situations.

[richizzle]

i dont think anyone cares about your opinion and if you want it locked dont post in it you noob

****. This is thread to give our opinions you idiot. And if likes anyone cares about yours. You're just defending your rookie so bravo yeah scream it loud rookie owns aoc. Happy?? I agree with you now go loose your tournament with it. WHAT you say im a nobb!!?? Let see what people think...

Who's the noob??
Richizzle = won several tournaments has a lot of mats to prove it.
Nogard = I play sasuke number one rookie and im not running mental.

Humm tough decision...

[richizzle]

Did you win them with Number one rookie in your deck?

[nogard]

after er was legal yes i did

[richizzle]

what deck are u running?

[nogard]

fire earth

[richizzle]

Hopes it's not freedori.

[nogard]

why would it be freedori if i run rookie

[richizzle]

Yeah that's what I was thinking, Isn't freedori who always win or most of the time ??

[nogard]

why do you think that they made er to stop freedori right and i got my tech for freedori so i most likely win

[Arcane_Fox]

why do you think that they made er to stop freedori right and i got my tech for freedori so i most likely win

*Starts to giggle* I'm sorry, but did you just say ER stopped Freedori .. *Laughs*

Tech for Freedori is any of the new Shikamaru...which are being ran in 3's in all decks...Meaning everyone is running Freedori tech now :)

ER didn't stop Freedori, it just gave the deck more good cards to splash in.

[hafesie]

ER gave Nothing to rookie, yet it still pwns.

You have ino-shhika-choji and some other team

I have Rookie and, say, Shikamaru and Suzame.

Attack

You either block with choji, use effect, injure rookie and perform mental

OR

Block with choji, but use ino at the front, injure somethingorother, let me mental..same thing

OR

Block with crud that dies

[BFK!!]

Ionly have one thing to say in this topic honestly....Nogard, please learn how to play the game.

they made it to stop freedori from being top teir but i guess where you guys live it didnt help
Ionly have one thing to say in this topic honestly....Nogard, please learn how to play the game.

i think that you need to learn how to play as i have gave reasons on why the card is good w/o mental as i dont run it w/ mental and i still do good all the time. all of you guys that dont think its good try it once and get back to me

[The Lost Prophet]

I really didn't want to even touch this thread, but this comment is forcing me to.

It didn't work where anybody lives (at least nowhere where it matters). Have you heard the results from the Sannin tournament?

yea i have im the one who told these kids that rookie was in a top four deck and that aoc was nowhere to be found

AoC wasn't to be seen because everyone was running BtL, duh.

Lol, the person who ran No.1 didn't win the Sannins, right? So meh.

"OMG Rookie pwns because he was in a T4 deck yet every other deck was running BtL!!!"

[BFK!!]

simple mistake Kirby...gosh

[Ryu Juini]

Hey you kids, cut that out.

[Katsuragi Keima]

Hey you kids, cut that out.

Stop spamming modster >.>

BFK got pwned by teh Toadz!!! XD Brokage got a Liquid Bullet right to his limp noodle d***.

Anyway, back on topic. One deck was running No.1 Rookie. ONE. Doesn't that tell you something?

[hafesie]

Nom it doesn't.

Can you come up with a scenario then?

Rookie>AoC cos of flexibility. This thread is not whether Rookie is good, simply whether it is better than AoC, which it is.

And it is good as well.

[BFK!!]

Lol at ryu trieng to get his post count up.

and neither card see's play.....but if you would play one you would want to have an early game dominance....but choji bowls them both over anyways .
._.

the reason why i brought that up is cause that prick skate or whatever said let me get that deck list with rookie oh wait there is none and i havent seen him since
everyone was running freedori cause no one can think of original decks
Lol at ryu trieng to get his post count up.

and neither card see's play.....but if you would play one you would want to have an early game dominance....but choji bowls them both over anyways .
._.

the one who doesnt see play in my area is aoc cause he sucks NOW but he was good before, and to let you know the meta is either freedori or fire earth and all of the fire earths play rookie not aoc
choji is good but i wouldnt run him as i have better options than him as the new one should see more play than this one

[hafesie]

Once again, Choji is bad against rookie as I can force mental.

Then, if you don't use it's effect, I win anyway.

[Katsuragi Keima]

Once again, Choji is bad against rookie as I can force mental.

Then, if you don't use it's effect, I win anyway.

You CAN'T force mental with Rookie alone!!! Thats just another one of your stupid scenarios! By the way, on turn 1, your opponent isn't going to have 2+ teams for Rookie to force anything. Choji kills rookie right off the bat, no matter if there is mental or not. Every deck runs Shikamaru and Sakura, so your mental strategy is pretty much s***.

thats why your not supposed to drop rookie on turn zero its way betters as a 2 or something

i pay shika now wat

Wait so shika negates choji? Dang i would've won that battle a lot faster. And just so my post isnt spam aoc rules.:cool:

sasuke will rarely ever get his effect so rookie is way better

[SamehadaSlasher]

Yes, but in the very beginning of the game, AoC will have his effect. I'm talking turn 0...

[hafesie]

Yay finally people get it.

AoC wins the battle, Rookie wins the war.

However, as AoC only wins the battle, technically rookie wins the war.

Hmm...no-one runs sakura but all run shikamaru. If I ran both against whatever you have....unless you have water vortex or something

[SamehadaSlasher]

Yea, it's kinda sad...Hi Kirby!

[hafesie]

Everyone except for people in australia.

My local tourney risks a lot every saturaday to let us use illegal cards (curse stuff-ER). According to Bandai rules (and the same with yu-gi-oh), illegal cards cannot be used. Thank god.... they haven't been busted.

AoC wins the battle, Rookie wins the war.

AoC gives brute strength, Rookie has strategy.

AoC outpowers Rookie, Rookie outthinks AoC.

That is my statement, not how good sakura and shikamaru are with Rookie, although that was an argument.

[Arcane_Fox]

The thing is, ur rookie can't DO anything if my teams are stronger than yours. /= Which it will be if I'm using pretty much any other Sasuke. Also I'm talking like early game, if ur talking about late game, and u drop Rookie, and I drop like, ES, then I just won -_-

PS: Late game, I'll have 3+ teams, Early game, I'll have less than 2 teams, So Rookie is pretty useless /=

[hafesie]

I will have shikamaru to mental battle.

If you DON'T block early game...guess what I do. I get a BR....how amazing.

ES has 0 mental

[Arcane_Fox]

With the above being said, Rookie will RARELY get his effect

On to AoC ...

Turn 0 You play Rookie I play AoC, I just out tempo'd u, meaning if you play a ninja, I can just play the SAME ninja, and will always have the upper hand on you.
---
Early game Advantage is EVERYTHING, if I can kill your ninja's early on, while I have like, 3 Ninja's to ur 0, then I will probally win late game, the only way you can come back is like, Inherit into APW/ES, Triple Trigram or some crap.

No ... you won't -_-', the fact is, if you manage to get that team out, who would want sasuke as the head, I'd rather have ES /=

[SamehadaSlasher]

But if you have ES as the head against Nogard's team, APW will just pop ES in the face...damn him...

haha u tell him how good this team isas you have faced it and its hard to beat huh

[hafesie]

NEVER, unless absolutely necessary, pop a head ninja.

That being said, whatever is popped will generally make the rookie team stronger.

Remarkably 2 Mental decks made Top cut at the sannin, one making T4, and 3 other mental decks went 5-3. FA sasuke + shikamaru = 8 MP. De flex is the prime choice for defense againt MP, but it doent auto win against it, because now that the battles are physical, and my ino forces shika to the front. So you either are under powered, OR you eat mental. The deck made by TCV was ingenious, but it fails to freedori and m****ive fireballs + dosus :\

In short: Mental DOESN'T work too well, and if it does, it WOULDN'T run Sasuke -Rookie-
It runs 1 Numbah 1 and 2 FA.



Turn 0 You play Rookie I play AoC, I just out tempo'd u,
LAWLS, ORLY? Cause I count 1 ninja each. Learn the meaning of words before you use them :rolleyes:

meaning if you play a ninja, I can just play the SAME ninja, and will always have the upper hand on you.

If its mental by turn 1, your +1 means jack :\

Early game Advantage is EVERYTHING,
Which is why AOC isnt played anymore -_- Chogi eats him, COP prawns him, and BTL = win. Rookie is a far better card this meta, but it still fails to BTL

finnaly someone good gets on here and tells them whats what

[hafesie]

Rookie kills anything with mental and INO. Unless they have SSA, you just go ahead and mental and if you flex well who cares unless you throw your hand away in the first few turns, flex doesn't work.

[SamehadaSlasher]

Haha Rookie + Shino [OO] = >.< (Different teams, obviously)

And yes, that team hurts...

Hafesie: Using APW badly is so much fun...I pop 'em when they irritate me...

If it is something that isn't run in 3s, the pop it by all means.

If it is run in 3s, not only is no ninja injured, but they will likely have a repalcement.

1- I'd rather have ES in that APW/Asuma team than Rookie, why? Cause when I ATK and you chump block I can do that whole, Trigram APW and take him as a BR crap -_-' Love to see Sasuke do it

2- Zero: You're talking about FA + Shikamaru having 8 MP, but if u do that you won't have sasuke -Rookie- In play, which is pretty much the whole topic of this arguement

3- Bleah, I said tempo cause it's easier than typing out "Beating you early game" /=

4- I most likely have Ino too, and I'd gladly injure my Shika to injure yours if your running mental

5- I know AoC is bad now, which is why I don't run him, nor do I run Rookie.

sasuke aoc can be runned it most decks
no 1 rookie is pretty much good in certain themed decks

[hafesie]

AoC CANT be run in most decks for these reasons.

1. people use Konohamaru
2. people use jonin's intervention
3. RFTLA owns it
4. btl owns it

Mind explaining how Konohamaru beats Sasuke -_-', a 0/0 against a 3/0, oh noes! and if ur talking about Rookie + Konohamaru as back ninja, that's 3 agianst my 3 + Back Ninja /=
----
I'd love to see Rookie stand up to ES and Baki any better than AoC
----
I guess /= AoC, can have the 4 as well, and is generically 1-2 turns faster

Duh -_-'

1. Lawl, no one run's Konohamaru anymore
2. Lawl, not many competitive decks run Jonin's Internvention.
3. True on that one.
4. Duh.

But there aren't as many good replacements for Rookie, so really rookie>Aoc ALSO because aoc can't be run anymore.

hmm.. i wondered what i meant by "most decks"
its funny because i dont think i said all decks
granted jonins interventions is a great card but sasuke is not going to always be there
you might have other ninjas like a sakura adp and shikamaru flex
you make it sound like sasuke will do all the fighting
and how many people run konohamura now?
havent seen those since revenge came out

[hafesie]

konohamaru bypasses Aoce effect

If AoC kills a Genin, jonin's intervention

[PaperNinja]

....wow....

[yasmin]

konohamaru bypasses Aoce effect

If AoC kills a Genin, jonin's intervention

wow bud idk how u play the game but we play by the cards actual rule's were we come from.

[hafesie]

Eh? Doesn't Jonin's intervention state that if a genin on your side is discarded, put a Jonin into your village at the end of the turn?

[Arcane_Fox]

Dude, Sure konohamaru negates sasuke's effect, but the thing is KONOHAMARU'S GETTING PWNED ANYWAYS. 3 is better than 0 -_-' even if I don't get my +1.

[The Lost Prophet]

Eh? Doesn't Jonin's intervention state that if a genin on your side is discarded, put a Jonin into your village at the end of the turn?

Actually it states any ninja.

No smart player will discard one of their opponent's ninja through battle if their opponent plays 'Jonin's Intervention'. So saying [AoC] is bad because of Jonin's Intervention doesn't really make any sense.

[hafesie]

Then u get a free BR. YAY

[PaperNinja]

so, 1 BR is good enough to prevent JI
