So I played a few games of naruto with mr. James. First I played against tempo with my deck. Basically, James ran out of cards so I won. Then he switched to his fire/wind deck, and I played his brothers water/lighting deck. He won because I got a really bad hand.

The problem James is having in tournaments is that he gets bad hands. So one thing I've thought of is writing how many times he shuffles by what card he gets. That way see if there is a pattern to how many times he should be shuffling.
