General description:
As soon as I heard that there was a Sauke and Itachi Platoon I was waiting for the new set. It's Itachi Uchiha turn five, what more can you ask for? (reasonably speaking dream card makers)
Uses:
I would definitely use this card in a Sharingan/Uchiha deck. If nothing else to heal my already injured Itachi just to keep his strength on the field but mostly to power up my Sasuke.
Strategies and game play:
This card is great when used with the Sauke Uchiha N-c002 Awakening. If used late in the game the QFP Sauke can get two growth coins from it's own abilty then transfer those to this deadly duo making them 8/6 power.
Combos with other cards:
Other cards to have on the field with these lovely brothers are of course their parents. With them in play the get another addition of +3/+1 to their total. When used in addition the Sasuke explained above that makes a 10/7 Ninja with the abilities to use Sharingan Eye, Chidori, and 8 Triagrams Seal Spell Formula. If you want to be really mean though have in play a few of Hokage Rocks for up to 13/7 and that's by itself.
Ways to counteract it:
Trap Hole? No just kidding, use Prohibition of the Sharingan to keep the annoying negation down, use combos to help kill off all three Sasukes' and win the game before Itachi True Heir to the Sharingan shows up, basically take him out fast by removing him from play or bring out the Itachi N-us037 Requirements For The Eminence.
Strengths/Pros:
Turn 5 Itachi, Sasuke that turns into Jonin, a less expensive Sasuke that can use the new Chidori, and a less expensive Itachi with Leaf Village Status.
Weaknesses/Cons:
His support value gets really weak when injured but then again why would anyone want him as a support Ninja?
Variations:
Uncommon, Diamond and Wavy foils.
Artwork and aesthetics:
Doesn't Sasuke look happy? And doesn't Itachi look like he wants to trow him in a river?... Wait thats not good.
Overall rating:
9/10 because it can me removed from play.
