This is an awesome decklist! Warehouse Tabby is such an awesome card. I think Okiba Reckoner Raid  ^Flip is probably out of place as the saga trigger exiles, rather than going to the graveyard. If you need mana fixing to turn Ashnod's Altar + Rancor + Warehouse Tabby into a combo(does need Grim Guardian on board to actually win the game) a great option might be Energy Refractor! Plus it draws on etb to help find your other combo pieces

• Disciple of Deceit This seems to have anti-synergy with Ninjutsu. Since you return an attacker, you are not going to untap it. Overall people seem to overestimate this card. It looks like a tutor, but it's rather quite bad.
• Inkrise Infiltrator, Vedalken Infiltrator Power one for two mana mana is not worth it.
• Kotose, the Silent Spider This costs too much for a 4/4 with no evasion and no immediate board effect.
• Okiba Reckoner Raid  ^Flip At the start of the game, you can't use it as an attacker. In late game, Menace is not that effective. Overall Changeling Outcast is a more reliable creature for one black mana, and even that isn't exactly a premium card.
• Twisted Embrace 4 mana is too much for this.

Other cards to add:

• Shriekmaw - At worst it's a mediocre 2 mana sorcery removal spell, which is not bad. In longer game, you'll get a 3/2 unblockable create to close the game, which further works with nunjutsu. If you can manage to evoke it with Feign Death or Undying Evil...
• Baleful Strix This is a two mana removal which draws a card. And with Ninjutsu, it you can draw additional card.
• Siren Stormtamer This is an early ninjutsu enabler, which also protects your better creatures. Unlike say Negate, it can also proactively attack.
• Sleeper's Robe Ensures unblockability of your ninjas with a card advatage just for 2 mana.
• Clearwater Pathway  ^Flip Yet another untapped dual land.

TheSnuggleLord Great weekend here! Hope yours was as well, always fun to finish up some decks and get to test them out. After reading through this latest comment, I immediately realized some changes cards I should swap for ones that I was wanting to try that I, quite frankly, just forgot had already gotten here in the deluge of other TCGPlayer orders (thank God for the cart optimization, but holy hell it keeps my mailbox full).

So UPDATE 3.1: Swapped out Phyrexian Broodlings and Drudge Skeletons with Bloodflow Connoisseur and Crypt Rats.

I gotta say, I do love the broodlings. But saving that one mana is absolutely worth it. I might end up sideboarding them for now, just to see if there is a situation, I might want both in the deck. Although with the last few games, I don't think that'll be likely. With Drudge Skeletons, it just really comes down to hardly ever finding it worth it to save that one mana to block with them and regen. Crypt Rats gives me a bit of a nuke option for token decks and is a nice addition to the abilities Necrotic Ooze can access if the rats are sacked or just milled and aren't worth pulling out of the grave.

At the moment, I'm also testing having Unmarked Grave in place of Cling to Dust (a card a found myself using more often for draws than anything else, and can't really justify an entire slot just for one card draw per game), Rune-Scarred Demon in place of Harvester of Souls, Viscera Seer in place of Okiba Reckoner Raid  ^Flip, Buried Alive in place of Gravedigger (With all the graveyard pulls I have, one to the hand for a 4 drop didn't seem to justify its place, even if it can be pulled itself from the grave), and Haunted Crossroads in place of Unhinge (a card that just never seems to have a good time to use for the cost).

Haha, yeah, I've been learning the hard way about the struggles of mono black against graveyard hate. The game's I've done the best against the deck with it really have come down to just trying to maintain board control. Something that has been hard against token heavy decks, but I'm hoping having another answer, in the form of Crypt Rats, will help with that side of things at least. I'm for sure going to keep my eye on the new cards next month. Excited to see if anything would fit in this deck, or any of the others I've started working on.

I honestly had no clue so many of the cards had art that directly tied into lore from the mtg universe. I spilled down a small Rabit hole after reading your comment on that, and holy heck it's so cool to see. Really does add an entire new layer to consider when deck building!

One more somewhat random note: I love some of the Saga arts in this set. Sagas are usually some of my favorite new Magic art for years because I think showing how these things are remembered in-universe is really cool. My favorites are probably Okiba Reckoner Raid  ^Flip flaunting the jacket and the story told with the art on both sides of Tribute to Horobi  ^Flip.
