A fairly simplistic toolbox/combo deck. Revolves around bouncing your own Ninjutsu-enablers that also have some enter the battlefield triggered abilities.

Power Matrix can be used to give a creature first strike, so that it can deal its own damage before being whisked away to be replaced by a Ninjutsu'd ninja who also gets to deal his own damage, you can keep running two ninjas in tandem of each other, and get both of their damage triggered abilities (especially cool with Higure, since he can search up a ninja to Ninjutsu himself!).

Sengir Autocrat is especially powerful together with Vela the Night-Clad, since when he's bounced he takes his 3 serf tokens with him, resulting in a total of 4 creatures leaving play.

Teferi and Mystical Teachings also combo nicely by first fetching Teferi, and then letting you get any creature from your library with Mystical Teachings when you flashback it with Teferi in play.

Silent-Blade Oni and any bounce spells is also really good. Basically just return something you want from your opponent to his hand, Ninjutsu in the demon and snatch it from his hand back into play on your side.

Trinket Mage can fetch a wide variety of tools for different situations, including Expedition Map, AEther Spellbomb, Executioner's Capsule, Ornithopter and any of the two artifact lands. Academy Ruins is also very powerful in this deck, because it let's you reuse a lot of your one-use artifacts (including an Expedition Map used to find Academy Ruins, letting you tutor up all the lands you need early game).

Both Nephalia Smuggler and Deadeye Navigator are amazing in this deck for letting your quickly reuse your smaller creatures' enter the battlefield triggers, as well as offering protection against removal for your creatures (flickering a creature causes any spells or abilities that targeted it before flickering to fizzle, because the original target of the spell is now no longer in play).

I'm running a copy of Duskmantle, House of Shadow because it is very effective at countering effects like Vampiric Tutor, as well as getting rid of Sensei's Diving Top if it has retreated to the top of its owner's library.
