Deck overview

Gonti, Canny Acquisitor turns combat into a stealing engine. The deck fills the board with cheap evasive Rogues and Spirits, then uses ninjutsu to exchange those chips for high-impact ninjas that exile and play opponents' cards. Gonti's cost discount lets the deck cast stolen spells ahead of curve, while Satoru Umezawa and Doc Aurlock serve as secondary engines that add consistency and additional discounts. Interaction is dense and mostly free or instant-speed so the deck can protect its combat phases, and Villainous Wealth or Heartless Conscription provide a burst finish by converting accumulated card advantage into a huge board. It is a value-control deck with no true combo, so wins come from a slow, cumulative assault.
