Dan
The useless.

written by arcade 

General description:
I can only imagine what was going through the heads of the Naruto powers that be when they created Dan. "Hey! There's a ninja that we havnt made yet. Let's make him." The other guy nod's eagerly. "Only instead of making a good or decent ninja, lets make him completely." "Yes! what would be the worst ninja effect ever?" he ponders.
Well they found it!

Uses:
I use him as a book mark. You could use him as chakra, or a space filler in your collection binder ect.

Strategies and game play:
Dan's strategy is, he comes into play, you get to draw a card. Sweet right? well it get's worse. Assuming Dan doesnt get blocked, and you don't send him to block, everything will be fine. However, if you do use Dan to battle, even once! he dies, leaving only a single card in your hand to fill the void in your village.

Combos with other cards:
Twin sacrifice Jutsu. (What have you got to lose right?)

Ways to counteract it:
Block or attack him. Either way he's toast.

Strengths/Pros:
-You can draw a card
-decent stat's

Weaknesses/Cons:
Where to begin?
-He dies
-No way to avoid first disadvantage
-Turn 4 entrance
-Effect is a Valid (never thought I'd list that under disadvantages.)

Variations:
Comes in a just as useless foil version.

Artwork and aesthetics:
The artwork really bites! I like Dan in the manga (However short his life was) and don't think this artwork does him justice. Although it does suit his effect.

Overall rating:
1/10.

Dude...what the heck
How is being valid a bad thing?
Oh no...now Dan's injured. I hate how he's valid and i still get to draw a card...
He's really not that bad. He just can't be played in many decks...at all...
I've actually seen him run pretty good in a Jounin's Intervention deck before...I think there's better stuff to run, but he did better than you'd think.

Dan's effect screams card advantage, you just need to have some tecnical skill to know when to sacrifice him. A good combo is to put Naruto Uzumaki (One Last Attack) as Dan's support ninja with Outcast's Dream in play. Then let Dan block when it will be wounded but not killed; then dan goes away, you draw, one of your opponents ninjas gets wounded and naruto gains a +1/+1 token.
