I recently read up on the ninja archetype for Modern, and I fell in love with it. This is my first attempt at this kind of deck.

The general strategy is to substitute your ninjas with cheap, unblocked attacking creatures (the enablers) using the Ninjutsu ability, which is meant to surprise opponents with many things, like the power of Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni, or abilities such as Throat Slitter 's

Evasion spells, such as Aqueous Form or Distortion Strike help getting your Ninjas on the board by preventing blocks, they also help trigger the Ninjas abilities if they are unblocked as well.

Any feedback is appreciated, I am aware that there are a lot of improvements to make (I know I can improve on my mana), I may add a sideboard later.
