This is a very offensive deck, that basically has two kind of cards, powerful ninjas that exploit the "Ninjutsu" mechanic to sneak in damage and trigger powerful effects, and everything else meant to enable or protect this strategy. As long as your ninjas keep on reaching the opponent, the game is won. Ninjas The deck counts with 20 ninjas and 14 ninjas with Ninjutsu. These last 14 are basically spells with legs: - Mist-Syndicate Naga.- Powerful 3/1 attacker that counts as a self Clone. - Mistblade Shinobi.- A sneaky 1/1 that counts as an Unsummon. - Throatseeker.- Although not a Ninjutsu Ninja, he counts as a Noble Purpose or sorts, and is key to the plan, for it lets you focus on offensive manoeuvres while sponging retaliation with life gain. - Ingenious Infiltrator.- One of, if not the best addition to Ninjas from Modern Horizons. Completely outclasses Ninja of the Deep Hours because it gives the same Radical Idea kind of effect to all and every Ninja that finds its way to your opponent. With so much evasion this is something that happens easily and often. - Moonblade Shinobi.- A good offensive body 3/2 that spams flying tokens whenever it hits the opponent. Great to create small blockers and possible evasive attackers. - Fallen Shinobi.- It reminds me of Thief of Sanity a lot, for they do a quite similar thing. Great way to get card advantage while weakening the opponent. - Higure, the Still Wind.- Powerful and cheap Ninja tutor that also lets other Ninjas be unlockable if the need arises. Angular stone that helps build specific strategies against specific opponents.

• Okiba-Gang Shinobi is a Mind Rot.
• Throat Slitter is a Doom Blade.
• Mistblade Shinobi is a Unsummon.
• Higure, the Still Wind the might of a tutor spell, entwined with Artful Dodge
• Ninja of the Deep Hours is a Radical Idea
• Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni is a Grave Betrayal
• Silent-Blade Oni could not find a card that does the same, but still rocks!
• Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow again something quite unique.

Enablers

By this I mean, all the cards in the deck with the mission to make something unblockable so the Ninjitsu mechanic can work. There are 14 enables total in the deck; 8 creatures, 3 Spells and 3 Artifacts.

• Changeling Outcast.- An unblockable 1/1 body for 1 cmc that counts as a Ninja.
• Gudul Lurker.- Another cheap 1/1 unblockable body that can be megamorphed if needed.
• Aqueous Form Very good enchantment that makes anything unblockable and lets you scry with every attack.
• Whispersilk Cloak.- A powerful artifact that makes the equipped creature unblockable and protects it against removal.
