Wow, if you're considering giving this to your brother you're either extremely generous OR he already has most of the cards in here but he just wanted your help building this deck :) Either way, you're an awesome bro! Silent Hallcreeper is a great unblockable creature to enable your ninjas' ninjitsu (especially after it's already attacked a few times and you've gained benefits through that). Elbrus, the Binding Blade and Vorpal Sword can both be very nasty on unblockable stuff. Also, if you want to benefit from Yuriko (Yuffie) a bit more, consider turning ALL your creatures into Ninja's with Arcane Adaptation.

I was going to suggest Hatred, but it is already in the maybe board. Since you are running Vorpal Sword, great card, I would move Hatred up personally. Keep that one hit win theme going. A great land that would pair well with Hatred would be Minas Morgul, Dark Fortress. Creatures with a shadow counter can't be blocked. Downside, they can't block either. Something to think on when it comes to that land.

Excellent looking deck. Jin will allow you to attack with impunity and reap some nice benefits from this. Adding cards like Elbrus, the Binding Blade Flip or Vorpal Sword would make him even more deadly in this regard. Also, in its current form, the deck will have a hard time dealing with mass tokens, so perhaps you can add a few things to make that easier on yourself. I was thinking wipes like Damnation or Wrath of God, but also cards that destroy/negate the use of mass tokens like Archfiend of Depravity, Crawlspace and Silent Arbiter.

Please, let me touch YOU - Phage

Touching people is fun! :)
Als Vorschläge hätte ich vor allem das Deck ein bisschen "schlanker" zu machen. Avatar of Woe und Choice of Damnations aber im Regelfall echt weit weg. Peer into the Abyss kann zwar entweder jemand rausnehmen oder dir viele Karten ziehen aber hat das gleiche Problem wie Phage dass man erstmal dahin kommen muss. SElbes gilt für Profane Transfusion.
Und dann fehlt vielleicht natürlich Stunning Reversal, Nachteil ist dass es dich auf 1 setzt statt wie Lich's Mirror auf 20. Ich würde vielleicht die beiden trotzdem tauschen, weil Stunning Reversal als instant auch noch gut mit Lich's Mastery harmoniert, kauft dir also auf gewisse Art 2 nicht-sterben-Effekte für 1. Das Problem der geringen Lebenspunkte könntest du vielleicht eher mit Deathtouchern angehen, die auch Lifelink haben - Vampire Nighthawk, Qarsi Revenant, NIghthawk Scavenger. Die eignen sich dann auch gut um als backup wincon z.B. ein Vorpal Sword zu tragen, falls Phage aus irgendeinem Grund nicht mehr zum Zug kommt.
Decree of Pain und In Garruk's Wake würd ich auch durch was billigeres ersetzen, bspw. Extinction Event, einfach um besser ins late game zu kommen.

Zenos' One Shot

the one shot kill!!!
Vorpal Sword seems like it could maybe find a spot in this one. Just a thought.

Card quality isn't just about raw output. It's the ratio of input to output.
If Jumbo Cactuar cost just , even if you cut its toughness way down, it would be broken. 7 mana is pretty reasonable for a modern (not necessarily Modern) creature with deathtouch, something like "If this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player loses the game," and no other abilities. Compare Vorpal Sword, Summon: Primal Odin, Phage the Untouchable, etc. Jumbo Cactuar has a huge output, but requires special preparation and lots of mana to make it work. High input, high output--good for style points, not for tournaments.
Overkill is somewhere between Murder and something like Flay Essence. It kills indestructible creatures, but that's the main perk it has over Murder. Moderate input, moderate output--functional, but there's better.
Zacama, Primal Calamity is notable in EDH, which is generally slower and allows for more setup than Modern. It's far from useless there, offering a big body with lots of combat abilities that can clear out obstacles as soon as it comes down. and are strong ramp colors, so you can get it out quickly. Even if it dies immediately, it's taking at least one problem with it. But to wallisface's point, it's nothing special in Modern. Commander: moderate input, high output--beware of Triplesaurus. Modern: high input, low output--not worth it.
For something I would call overpowered, Ocelot Pride works as an example. The game's filled with 1-cost 1/1s. The game's not filled with 1-cost 1/1s that reinforce themselves in all areas, providing the extra life and bodies to take over a match, either stalling until something else comes out or just incrementally building up until it can alpha strike by itself. Sure, it dies to any removal down to Scorching Spear. But if you don't do that immediately, it'll take over. And it's very easy to build around, since it doesn't need much more than incidental lifegain and one turn of survival to be a threat. And the first strike can be relevant, too. There's a reason the price tag is solidly in the double digits. Lifelink -> life gain -> cats -> army of cats, and that's eithout any outside support. Not bad for one mana. Low input, high output--kill on sight.

Phage the Uncastable

I have Phage the Untouchable as one of my win conditions in my favorite build (shadow deck). She is so cool. I would recommend Hatred or Vorpal Sword, but you don’t really have any creatures. He costs a bit much to cast, but doubling your mana is nice with Nirkana Revenant. I’m surprised you aren’t playing Damnation. What about Sanctum of Eternity? It might help, might not.
Here are a few tutors that aren’t too costly. Seems like this deck should use some so that it is a little more consistent.
Demonic Consultation – a little risky, but it works.
