Ninjutsu Genesis, Lightning and Earth

Alright, be nice to me, as I just started the game last night. I bought one of the starter decks and I plan on buying some packs later tonight. Anyway, this is my first real deck design outside of the starter. I don't know how good it is, but I hope to find out!

Ninja: 22

Mission: 9

Right now, I just wanna stick to Path to Hokage, because it's hard enough to come across packs, may as well stick to the basic and learn the game more.
Some cards are just in for fun (Hinata and Tenten, specifially), and I'd like to keep them in (because they're cute, dammit!) for now.

- 2 Ichiraku Noodle Shop
- 2 Ninja Academy
- 1 After the Battle
- 1 Iruka Umino
- 2 Naruto Uzumaki

+ 3 Leaf Hurricane
+ 2 Leaf Whirlwind
+ 2 Leaf Ninja Forces
+ 1 Naruto Uzumaki (No Effect)

Lance DeVrai · 08-22-2006, 12:59 PM

Thanks for the ideas.
Couple questions though..

1: You suggested to add in 5 cards that require Kung Fu, but the only ones that can really use them are the Rock Lees.
2: Why 'Leaf Ninja Forces'? I know the draw is nice, but it also helps out my opponent!

EDIT: Quote isn't workin'..

1. Taijutsu is held by 11 of your ninjas:
Hyuga Hinata
Rock Lee
Hyuga Neji
Might Guy
2. Leaf Ninja forces speeds the game up. It halves the remainder of the game for the first use of it. You have a bunch of easy to use Jutsu cards, and After the Battle to mass heal.

Also, another change, I'd drop a Cross Shaped or Two for Sexy Jutsu.

Lance DeVrai · 08-22-2006, 01:12 PM

1. Oh. I didn't even notice that. Okay then, I'll definately give them more of a look.

2. Alright, I'll look into those, too.
Yeah, I'm using several simple-use Jutsu for now just to get the hang of the game (especially the Chakra system).

As for the Sexy Jutsu...well, I dunno. I rather like the Shuriken and Kunai just for good boosts to help win battles.

Rakath · 08-22-2006, 01:25 PM

Well, Shuriken is a cost 2 for a +3 to your lead ninja.

Sexy Jutsu is a cost 2 for your opponent's lead ninja to become 0. Late game Sexy Jutsu will do more than late game Cross Shaped.

Lance DeVrai · 08-22-2006, 01:29 PM

Good point; never looked at it like that.
So if I replace 2 of the Cross-Shaped Shuriken with 2 Sexy Jutsu (since I only own two right now), what would replace the third Shuriken?

Rakath · 08-22-2006, 01:32 PM

You don't need to replace the third shuriken, as having one around isn't a bad thing.

Lance DeVrai · 08-22-2006, 01:33 PM

Alrighty then. I'm a bit used to not using one-offs, so that's a bit weird for me..thanks for your help! I really appreciate it! Is there anything else you can recommend for me?

Rakath · 08-22-2006, 02:02 PM

For now, nothing really, after you get the feel for the game and such and you're ready to put in Coils of the Snakes cards, I'll have a few more suggestions.

Lance DeVrai · 08-22-2006, 09:08 PM

Sounds good. Thanks again for all your help!

PlaydohDude · 08-23-2006, 07:24 AM

-2 Tenten
+2 Shikamaru Nara [Lazy Bum]

Tenten isn't the best card, but if you don't have any Shikas I guess you could keep her. Shes like an Earth Shino that comes in a Turn later. Sure, you want to keep her in, but Shika would be so much better in her spot.

Lance DeVrai · 08-23-2006, 12:27 PM

I've got nothing against Shikamaru; I'm turned away by the idea that he can't be sent into battle alone. That can be a problem if he's the only ninja I control (you never know); that, and Tenten's cute.

Thanks!

Asakura_Ryoko · 08-23-2006, 01:31 PM

Why would you want to send him out alone?

Shikamaru is pro.

Lance DeVrai · 08-23-2006, 01:49 PM

What do you mean by 'pro'? I don't understand.

EDIT: Why is the quote button not working?!

Rakath · 08-23-2006, 02:03 PM

I'd split the diff and replace 1 Shikamaru for 1 Tenten FOR NOW.

Come October/November, Tenten will have some real support when she has an effect that is nice and all around helpful.

Lance DeVrai · 08-23-2006, 02:29 PM

I might do that. I'm still not sure; I'll figure it out when I get some more cards (or at least the ones needed to complete this thing).

I'll probably use Tenten a bit more intentively then; she's nice now, but she can only do so much.

The one that works with Kunai? Yeah, that ones so much better.
