The Shadow Falls

Ninja's are a fun archetype and this is a Pure Ninja Control deck focused on flip disruption, board manipulation, and tempo advantage. Using a mix of old and new Ninja support, this build capitalizes on the strength of Meizen Hayabusa (I know he's not a Hayabusa) to grant your monsters direct attacks and disrupt enemy strategies by flipping threats face-down mid-turn. 

The deck thrives on setting the pace early with Hanzo or Tobari, transitioning into Saizo setups that tutor key Ninjitsu Art cards like Dancing Leaves or Notebook of Mystery. Hand traps like Ash Blossom and Veiler help keep opposing combo decks in check, while your trap lineup provides ongoing field control.

Meizen, backed by cards like Geo and Baku a, provides both offensive pressure and defensive options. The Extra Deck offers tech tools like Bagooska, Abyss Dweller, and Apollousa to match various threats, while the Side Deck is tuned for going second and handling backrow-heavy or graveyard-reliant matchups. I used to run Apollousa and Abyss Dweller but they are currently on the list.
