Use your ninjas to generate card advantage and use Lili and spot removal to disrupt your opponent's plan in the process. I recently added Lili of the veil and have been a big fan of her in this deck. Although Lili isn't necessary for this strategy an ideal start is turn 1 bird/goose, turn 2 lili, then ninjutsu your bird turn 3 and either replay it, another one mana creature or fatal push.

Lili fits well with this strategy because you can play her on turn two, which alone can be back-breaking, and the same creatures that enable turn two Lili also enable your ninjas. Between drawing extra cards and bouncing creatures back to your hand you almost always have more cards in hand than your opponent and so her +1 ability hurts them more than you. One difficulty ive had playing ninjas before is simply not being able to empty your hand onto the battlefield, cards get clogged in your hand, and she fixes that. It's no longer a problem top decking a bird anymore because now you just pitch her to Lili.
