Nashi, Moon Sage's Scion

Nashi, Moon Sage's Scion is a sneaky ninja that rewards you for dealing combat damage by letting you exile and cast cards from opponents' libraries. Your gameplan is to swing in with unblocked attackers, then use ninjutsu to flash Nashi in for cheap, deal damage, and get a free spell from the top of someone's deck. The deck wants evasive creatures (especially other ninjas) that can slip through unblocked, then pivot to casting stolen spells by paying life instead of mana. This creates a tempo advantage while filling your hand with opponents' best cards.

The core loop involves cheap evasion creatures like Ornithopter and Tormented Soul paired with cards like Mistral Charger that naturally don't block. Once Nashi connects, you're essentially Thoughtseizing every player at once while getting a spell. Support this with other ninjas (Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow can work in the 99) and ninjutsu-enabling creatures, plus some life gain to offset the spell-casting costs. Your win condition is grinding opponents down through unblocked damage while stealing their best plays—it's a tempo-focused strategy that feels like you're playing their deck against them.
