A ninja tribal-ish EDH deck, with a medium powerlevel meant for playing with a non-competitive (yet kinda strong) and diverse playgroup. Including all ninjas is possibly sub-optimal, but I prefer flavour and fun to cold efficiency. For this same reason I will not include tutors or extra-turns shenanigans.

Strategy

The idea is to put down unblockables/flyers fast to start ninjutsuing Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow and the other ninjas as soon as possible, then we try to make the unblockables ninjas and the ninjas unblockable, so that we can take advantage of yuriko's and the other ninja's effects. To this same end we run a few high CMC cards and several ways to reorder/scry the top of our library.

I'm also trying to keep it on a reasonable budget: in the 50€ to 100€ range

Looking for suggestions!
