Here's a different take on Ninja with a white splash this time. This is a 1st place MTGO league placement from Klarostorix:
2 Teferi, Time Raveler
1 Baleful Strix
4 Changeling Outcast

A basic Swamp is generally better than Urborg. One of the strengths of the deck is its high basic land count when facing Wasteland decks. Also, the deck is not very black hungry and being able to...
It is true that FoN's biggest drawback is not being able to counter removal during your attack step. However, the strongest point in favor of FoN is that it costs no mana if you throw away an extra...
Latest 5-0 from Seb Zevallos. This is his 4th 5-0 finish with UB ninjas.

1 Bloodstained Mire
3 Snow-Covered Island

I'm not sure if this is interresting to anyone but it has been very strong in my limited testing so far. Retrofitter Foundry is extremely powerful with Standstill and acts as an instant speed CMC1...
I really like this list. I like how there are 12 enablers and 11 manipulation spells for consistency.
However, I wonder if the current cards are all better than Gravecrawler. It seems to me that...
What about context?
I see nothing wrong with confederate statues in a museum or even in someone's backyard. Are you insinuating that mtg cards with racist overtones are being displayed in public...
What makes Lurrus appealing to me is that it is essentially a 3/2 Lifelink 3drop with a relevant grind ability that expands your starting hand size to 8 at the cost of a deckbuilding restriction that...
Hymn is good when Control and non-GY-centric combos are at a high.
Hymn is bad against Veil of Summer.
Current Control and Combo decks tend to play Veil.
My opinion is that Hymn is currently...
Ok I'm not gonna lie, this creature is insane!
3/3 flyer for 2 and Delver 4 ONLY!? Whenever it attacks you get quality spells back!?
At least making it cost UU means it won't be playable...
This card needed First Strike and not Haste to be useful.
I always thought boarding in Surgical against Miracles was a mistake. Even with Mystic Sanctuary recycling Miracles, Surgical is still a mistake in my book. I never counter removal against them...
This is exactly how I ended up boarding :P
I've had a discussion with a local delver player about how to side against Snowko Miracles and we both had really different angles of attack. He was convinced that going all out aggression with Bolts...
Hi guys!
I know I haven't posted in a while since I've mostly been busy with RetroNinjas. I have lent out my zombie deck at events and did play it a bit on the side lately however and I have some...
What a weekend just passed! I spent 3 days playing at 4 different Legacy events in my city. Needless to say I played a bunch and learned a thing or two, especially regarding sideboard plans. Here's a...
On the contrary! Giving Wasteland and Moon strategies a kick is a net positive for the format IMO. Moon, Chalice, and Wasteland are probably the most common culprits for non-games.
Banning Snow...
It appears to me Mutavault would be good either with Standstill or with a Ninja in play on a clear board. I doubt I'll be playing Standstill anytime soon and a Ninja on a clear board is already a...
Anybody else believes Summer's Veil is toxic for Legacy and should get axed?
I wouldn't mind it as much if it were just an effective tool for Combo decks to combat blue decks (a bit like a green...
@Borg,
Thanks for the suggestion. I had not thought about Scion at all in this deck. Here are my immediate thoughts on the card:
First, I don't think Scion is anywhere near Oko in terms of...
I am happy you appreciate the insight! I do enjoy sharing and getting feedback about different builds.
The green splash is where I had the most initial success with the deck during the W6 era. I...
@Borg,
The best argument in favor of Ponder is probably the fact that it drastically reduces your mulligan rate. One-landers with a cantrip are automatic keeps while ninjutsu hands with 1 lands...
Snapcaster definitely has potential here. Similar to Brazen you get an effect and the potential to buy it back. In Snapcaster's case the effect is less crucial but more flexible and the body is less...
