Slipstream Schemer
Kaito, Cunning Infiltrator is a planeswalker that rewards timing and incremental advantage. The card leans into evasive combat and token generation. Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, put a loyalty counter on Kaito, making each successful attack fuel his suite of abilities. The artwork shows Kaito descending a neon skyline with electric filaments, hinting at the card working best in decks built to sneak damage through and keep threats untargetable.
Your typical play pattern is compact and repeatable. The +1 makes a single attacker unblockable and replaces itself with a draw then discard, which smooths your hand while setting up graveyard synergies or filtering for answers. The minus two creates a 2 1 blue Ninja token to pressure opposing planeswalkers or block flyers. If the game goes long the minus nine grants an emblem that gives you a steady stream of 2 1 Ninja tokens whenever any player casts a spell. For players who pilot tempo, blink, or ninja tribal decks, Kaito fits cleanly as a secondary win condition and a persistent value engine. Add this Near Mint, borderless Foundations print to your collection to anchor blue midrange and ninja builds.
