Enchantment Creature — Human Ninja1 generic manaBlue mana

The clean upgrade to the ninjutsu curve, and the change lives in a single conditional clause. Earlier ninja payoffs like Ingenious Infiltrator and Mistblade Shinobi ask you to keep a ninja alive and connecting across multiple turns to bank value; the reward accrues to survival. This design front-loads it instead: on the turn the creature enters and lands its hit, the combat-damage trigger draws with no discard attached, so the same bounce-and-redeploy loop that resets a ninja every turn resets its card advantage every turn too. Swap it in with the ninjutsu cost, connect, and the draw comes clean; only on turns it sits still and swings on its own does the trigger tax you into a loot. That distinction rewards exactly the tempo pattern the mechanic is built around, pull back an evasive creature and slam a fresh one in the gap, and it punishes nothing but stagnation. The catch is durability: the fragile toughness means a single blocker ends it, so it wants to arrive behind evasion rather than trade in combat on its own. Carrying the enchantment type alongside creature quietly gives blue's enchantment-matters hooks a second thing to count, a small flourish on what is otherwise a tight, tempo-first draw engine.
