Deck overview

This Esper Ninja deck uses Jin Sakai as a combat enabler: his attack trigger makes a lone attacker unblockable or gives it double strike, which sets up ninjutsu and equipment. The primary plan is to land an early evasive creature, then trade it for a Ninja with combat-damage triggers. Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow and Splinter, Radical Rat turn those hits into life loss and cards, while Shredder, Shadow Master attacks all opponents at once. A secondary voltron path equips Jin with Excalibur or Buster Sword to kill with commander damage. Satoru Umezawa and the sneak mechanic provide extra ways to cheat creatures into play. The deck is interactive and resilient, but its wins are combat-based and require assembly.
