Strategic Summary:

The Ninja archetype, a group of Warriors of various attributes, fights with an intriguing playstyle that revolves fully around generating absurd amounts of advantage. Between all of their search power, draw power, and recovery options, expect to see tons of tools at your disposal. Most of this stems from the core monster, Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo, which searches different options depending on how he is summoned! In their quest for victory, the Ninjas are supported by the ‘Ninjitsu Art’ archetype of Spells and Traps, each with various beneficial effects. Armor Ninjitsu Art of Alchemy gives the theme draw power, especially when combined with Ninjitsu Art Notebook and Hidden Village of Ninjitsu Arts. Finally, this deck comes together with the recovery provided by Twilight Ninja Getsuga, the Shogun, who can summon 2 other Ninja monsters from your GY every turn!

While this is a standalone Creative Deck Profile, it was heavily inspired by a previous Creative Deck Strategy article focused on the Ninja theme. If you’re interested in learning more about Ninja combos, check out CDS: The Shadow Proclamation here.
