Kaito, Bane of Nightmares

The design problem with putting a planeswalker on a Ninjutsu chassis is that planeswalkers arrive vulnerable: they land, tick once, and sit there hoping the loyalty holds. Kaito answers that by refusing to be a planeswalker on the turn he matters most. During your turn, as long as he has loyalty, he's a 3/4 Ninja with hexproof, so he sneaks in via Ninjutsu already tapped and attacking, connects, and cannot be picked off by targeted removal while he's doing it. That single conditional collapses the usual "protect the walker" tax into the same body that generated the tempo swing. The hexproof is a your-turn clause only, which means the crackback still matters: on your opponent's turn he reverts to an ordinary planeswalker, targetable and attackable like any other, and the loyalty you've banked is what buys his survival. The abilities reward the loop rather than the board state. The 0 surveils two and then draws a card for each opponent who lost life this turn, so it wants the Ninja to have already connected. The +1 mints a Ninja anthem emblem that compounds across a swarm. The −2 taps a creature and pins it with two stun counters, a pure control lever for clearing a blocker or defanging an attacker. Most planeswalkers reward defense; Kaito rewards aggression, and the whole card lives in the seam between its two identities.
