A modern re-imagining of a commander deck I built under a similar name. The main goal is to lock your opponent out with discard, really just SMACK the cards out of their hands. After that you can take your time dealing damage with the ninjas or let the enchantments run their course. There's some draw, some removal, a bit of control on the sideboard, what could go wrong?

The "line_breakers" group are to help get through enemy defenses so a ninja can still hit through wide boards.

If you're wondering about Cloudstone Curio, I thought it might be a neat little trick to attack with something like Burglar Rat, ninjitsu it, then in second main replay it and bounce the ninja back to hand to be used again. Is it mana efficient? Hell no, but it does give the impression of a ninja striking suddenly and then just vanishing again and that's good enough for me.
