I made a lot of changes to this deck for balance. deck:samurai-vs-ninja-ninja tends to beat this deck far more often than I would like, just by infinitely bouncing samurai with Mistblade Shinobi and slowly dealing damage in the process. So I determined that this deck needs a more methods of removal, or locking down creatures.
Righteous Blow - snipes pesky ninja. Use to stop Mistblade Shinobi from infinitely bouncing.
Safe Passage - the ninja's abilities work when they deal combat damage, therefore, a well timed safe passage could really help the samurai.
Bonesplitter - ninja do not want to be blocked, and they want to attack as much as possible. I had way to many ways of buffing samurai's toughness while barely touching their power. Bonesplitter seeks to give this deck a bit more punch. Leonin Scimitar and BoNeSaW are both placeholders for two more Bonesplitter.
Arrest - locks down creatures like Soratami Mirror-Guard and Minamo Sightbender. Oblivion Ring and Journey to Nowhere are placeholders for two more Arrest.
Divine Favor - right now this is primarily a way of gaining life back. I want to replace this with a non-enchantment equipment. Enchantments don't help when the ninja can just bounce the enchanted creatures.
