Giant Snake
Is this card bad, or is this card terrible?
written by treima 

General description:
Giant Snake...you make me cringe. There is only one turn 3 card over which I would prefer you, and he is a Satoosa so that he can play Giant Vortex and all the other Satoosa or Jonin+ stuff.

Uses:
Good for emergency toilet paper, a coaster, or gipping noobs out of other, good uncommons. A friend of mine was able to get a Baki and a Violent Temper Temari for this and its Summoning Jutsu, so apparently this card has some mystic hold over noobs.

Strategies and game play:
You can play this as a joke card. Guaranteed to get a few laughs, upon which you might have enough of a window of opportunity to draw a few extra cards while he laughs at your 4/0 0/0 turn 3 card.

Combos with other cards:
This combos with one thing only: Toilet Paper or Beer Coaster no Jutsu!

Ways to counteract it:
Anko, Hayate, Sasuke (RtfLA), Genma, Raido, Haku...all of these can blow this card to bits.

Strengths/Pros:
-Sturdy cardboard means your drink won't leak through and stain your table
-Decent illustration

Weaknesses/Cons:
-Not much value as a trading card
-Not much power as a trading card
-Not even worth the cardboard it is printed on as a trading card

Artwork and aesthetics:
The artwork is alright, but your drink will be covering it most of the time, so it really doesn't matter.

Overall rating:
0/10; if you are running this, you need to $@*#ing kill yourself.

Dude. I know some one who uses this card and he is actually pretty good. Besides no card is a 0 (hence meat shield). The closest thing that is Shibuki, not this.

Calm down, Simon. This card is NOT as bad as you keep yammering it is. It's a turn 2 FOUR and when it gets injured, then send it out to block and let it slither back under the deck. BTW, no card should be treated in the way you mentioned as its "uses". This was not even a review but you must surely be a noob if you could find no possible way to use this card

In tournys this card has been ran enough to say it can be very useful. Just because u dont have the talent to use this card doesn't mean u should attack it. With you talking about it the way u do, i wouldn't doubt its talking about how u make bad decks as payback... Ran in the right deck, this card is very useful. A lady in a tourny used this card and it saved her from decking herself and she ended up winning. So, try harder next time, cuz this reveiw stunk. §F§

Mel-Chan and Bradley-san have said everything that I thought, but I just wanted to add that I could use a couple of this card in my water deck. ^_^ Thanks for bringing this card to my attention!

i agree, this card is useless. the ONLY time anyone should ever play this is if they need to make their deck thicker by having it go back to the bottom all the time, in which case just use gama, or in a strict mono-water deck where you just need a turn 3er. If not strict mono, i can name a good 10 other turn 3s that blow this outa the water.

Shibuki is actually really good. Though it cannot be sent out to attack, it can be sent out to block and use satoosa jutsus and not TOO bad power.
