Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Esper Ninja tempo strategy commanded by Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima. Jin provides guaranteed evasion (Ghost) or double strike (Standoff) to lone attackers targeting each opponent, allowing Ninjas with ninjutsu and sneak mechanics to bypass defenses effortlessly. Once combat damage connects, the deck generates compounding card advantage through triggers like Ingenious Infiltrator and Jin himself, while removing opposing blockers with combat triggers like Throat Slitter and Mistblade Shinobi. High-impact threats such as Fallen Shinobi, Silent-Blade Oni, and Dark Leo & Shredder turn opponents' own cards and life totals against them. Backed by efficient Esper spot removal, flexible counterspells, and backup evasion enablers like Kamiz, Obscura Oculus and Higure, the Still Wind, the deck steadily dismantles opponent boards and life totals through relentless, unblockable strikes.
