Stealth Sharpened: Ninja's Blades
Ninja's Blades from the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY set provides a versatile edge for any creature looking to slip under defenses with efficiency and tactical depth. For a modest investment of three mana including one black, you transform your equipped creature into a Ninja, granting it +1/+1 and the elusive "Job select" ability. This synergy not only elevates the creature's combat presence but also allows it to interact uniquely with other Ninja synergies in your deck.
The real strength emerges in combat: upon dealing damage to a player, you draw a card then discard a card, forcing that opponent to lose life equal to the mana value of the discarded card. This mechanic combines card filtering with incremental life loss, rewarding careful deck construction and timing. Equipping this artifact for two mana adds layers of strategy, making it an efficient tool for controlling the battlefield and cycling through your resources while steadily draining your opponent’s life total.
