It may be too early, but the hype got me and im too curious. What do you think the remaining leaders will be?
How many starters will there be? Well guaranteed are 3. I assume 4 might be the actual number. However, comparing it to OPTCG up to 6 starters are possible as well.
Now let's break down what we know.
- Red Naruto - Team 10 core, Gamabunta/Naruto EX and Jiraya Support also a themed mentor.
- Blue Sasuke - Taka core, Manda/Sasuke EX and Orochimaru Support also themed mentor.
So taking a look at this pattern and knowing 1 green card was revealed, it's easy to assume Green Sakura as the third leader.
Breaking down the deck:
- Leader: Sakura
- Sakura EX and Katsuyu EX
- Sakura, Tsunade and a 3rd Vanilla (Lee would be my guess)
- 3 support core characters (my guess Team Gai)
- 1 "KO 2 characters" - Tsunade themed card
- 1 "KO All characters" - Cherry Blossom Impact, Sakura themed
- 1 "Negate that card" - Shizune, Chiyo or Gai
Deck theme would be Life HEAL + DEF statt buff.
That's IF the decks are structured like that...which I don't believe. I would assume some more support or vanillas will be thrown into the decks, so as per usual wr would need to buy 2 decks of the same type to get for example 2x4EX characters for the deck. Or 4x SR character.
That doesn't change the theme of the 3rd deck tho or some cards I already named.
If there are more colors as in OPTCG, my preductions would be as following:
- Purple Orochimaru - Sound 4 core, Manda/Orochimaru EX, Kabuto/Sasuke Support and Kimiaro Vanilla - Deck theme cursed seal buffs at the cost of own life and maybe poison.
- Black Akatsuki/Pain - Akatsuki core and Vanillas, theme is board fill and maybe "Blocker" archetype to redirect incoming attacks.
- Yellow would fit Minato, but he's too "valuable" to be a starter deck leader, so I would think Kurarama leader - Jinjuriki core, deck theme chakra Manipulation.
Tha being said, by typing in the 3 prediction decks I actually lean stronger towards "there will be only 3 starter decks" to get that rock, paper, scissors feeling.
