Vinsmoke Niji (OP06-065) (Jolly Roger Foil)

Strategic Overview

Vinsmoke Niji (OP06-065) is the primary scalpel of the Vinsmoke Family, providing essential board removal that bypasses many standard protection effects. His versatility is his greatest asset, offering a choice between K.O.ing a small utility character (2-cost or less) or bouncing a mid-range threat (4-cost or less) back to the hand. This flexibility makes him an excellent counter to decks relying on searchers or early-game blockers.

As part of the Germa 66 engine, Niji is most effective when summoned through the "Transformation" mechanic of his 3-cost counterpart. This allows you to deploy a 6000 power body and resolve a powerful removal effect as early as Turn 2 or 3, drastically swinging the tempo of the game. He thrives in the Purple "Don!!-minus" strategy, as his effect triggers when your resource count is equal to or lower than your opponent's.
