Deck overview

This is a Dimir ninjutsu deck helmed by Satoru Umezawa, who grants every creature in hand ninjutsu for {2}{U}{B} and provides card selection each time you activate a ninjutsu ability. The primary game plan is to deploy cheap unblockable creatures (Changeling Outcast, Invisible Stalker, etc.), then use ninjutsu to cheat in high-impact threats like Blightsteel Colossus (one-shot infect kill), Fallen Shinobi (exile and free spells), or Toxrill, the Corrosive (board control). A dense tutor suite (Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Cruel Tutor, etc.) ensures you find the right piece for each situation. The deck wins through combat damage, either by racing with infect or by grinding value from ninja triggers and stolen cards.
