Rats and ninjas biting and stabbing you repeatedly and they don't stay dead, because they hate you. This is my first ever go at a deckbuild; lemme know how solid it is and if improvements could be made!

Use high mana generation and high card draw to harass with rat strats and ninjitsu jumpscares, then bring them right back into play when they bite it, sometimes right along with your opponent's dead chumps.

Strategy notes:

• Tutor for Ratcatcher first and then cards like Ogre Slumlord and Lilliana; the former will give you a big draw boost and easy access to most of your keystone creatures like the ninjas, Rat Colony or Marrowgnawer, and the latter further enable your loop or offer big wincons.

• Don't be too afraid to use most of your rats, ninja or otherwise, to attack or block; you have lots of tools to bring them right back from the graveyard and win wars of attrition.

• Use equipment like Lightning Greaves or Whispersilk on high-priority attackers/wincons like Ink-Eyes, Throat Slitter, Marrowgnawer, ectera, to guarantee their safety and also their ability to get a hit on opponents and thus proc their nonsense. If somebody more important for you to protect crops up don't be afraid to sacrifice the chump currently wearing your fancy boots for the cause!

• Ninjitsu puts the targeted card back into your hand, so creatures with on-enter effects are great priority for the swap jumpscare. Don't forget to account for the costs of Ninjitsu when you're planning to attack on your turn, and keep an eye on your hand's max limit!

• Be aware that Ink-Eyes notably cannot use Ninjitsu from commanderspace, and must be played as normal. It's possible to move her properly into your hand with another Ninjitsu spell (or whatever else you can figure out) for preemptive protection/the threat of later shenanigans, but how worthwhile this is might vary. A funny trick with her is to kill a strong opponent's creature as she attacks and immediately steal it for your own use.
