Here Comes Second Test Proctor Anko Mitarashi (M-070) and Gato Transport (M-013) is an interesting combo of mission cards to play. Recently, I’ve been writing quite a bit about new releases in the world of Naruto. Of course, cards in a combo don’t need to be new to be good. After all, if that were true, then why would there even be a need for the Trading Card Escrow system? Sometimes, classic cards acquired through a trade are actually much better than the fare that comes out today.
These are some of the earliest, but that doesn’t necessarily make them difficult to find. In fact, Gato Transport still garners a common rating. Speaking of ratings, if there is a category for the most peculiar and drawn out name, M-070 certainly deserves it!
Since both cards manipulate deck structures, they can really wreak havoc on your opponent as a combo. Here Comes Second Test Proctor Anko Mitarashi causes both players to charge the cards that they have in their hands to the Chakra area before drawing cards into their hand. Cards that are readied by your opponent for play are quickly taken out of commission.
Gato Transport causes both players to discard a card of their choice that was in the Chakra area, whenever they send out a Team to Battle. If you plan this right, you shouldn’t need to worry about the cards you’re disposing of. Of course, your opponent won’t be so blessed with planning.
Now, remember how you played M-070 previously? Your opponent’s Chakra area should be filled up, and now cards are going to be discarded out of it. This cycle could end up going for a long time, until several important cards are totally rendered useless. However, a player implementing this strategy needs to be careful to make sure they aren’t ultimately attacking themselves.
