Naruto Mythos: Shinobi Shiren - Starter Pack: Gaara vs Lee

The Gaara vs Lee Starter Pack for Naruto Mythos TCG, from the Shinobi Shiren set (1st Edition), pits Gaara of the Sand Village against Konoha's Rock Lee in one of the most famous fights of the Chūnin Exams. Inside are 4 Shinobi Shiren booster packs, 2 foil Mythos promo cards and an oversized collector card.

• 4 Shinobi Shiren packs, 40 cards
• 2 foil Mythos promo cards
• 1 oversized foil card for display
• a Collection Guide with the set checklist
• English edition

Gaara vs Lee Starter Pack contents

The packs are regular Shinobi Shiren boosters of 10 cards each: a Mission, 4 commons, 3 uncommons, a holographic Rare and a variant-slot card that can be, for example, a Secret or a Legendary Gold. Four packs mean 4 Missions and 4 Rares.

On top of that come three cards you will not find in packs. The publisher only hands out Mythos cards through selected products, events and tournaments. The oversized foil card is larger than standard size and meant to stand on a shelf.

Gaara and Rock Lee in Shinobi Shiren

Shinobi Shiren covers the Chūnin Exams, so both characters get several cards in the set:

• Gaara - an uncommon (078) and a Rare (114), a Chibi version, and above all one of the three Legendary Gold cards in 22-karat gold foil, limited to 1,500 serialized copies.
• Rock Lee - a common (020) and a Rare (115), also with a Chibi version.

The publisher's checklist also lists Mythos cards for both heroes. The set introduces Attachments, a new card type you equip to a Character or Mission, and Shinobi cards that recreate Chūnin Exam duels in pairs.

Who this set is for

It suits Gaara and Lee fans who want their promo cards, and new players who would rather start with several packs than a single booster. The Collection Guide lets you check what you opened straight away. A Naruto Mythos deck has at least 30 cards and each player brings 3 Missions to a game, so the 4 Missions from the packs come in handy.

Other Shinobi Shiren products

The other pair in this set is the Kakashi vs Zabuza Starter Pack. Lee also stars in Team Set: Rock Lee, with three packs and a promo card.
