Ninja is a creature class. All ninjas are blue, black, or both.
Description
Ninjas, also called Shinobi, are masters of both stealth and armed combat who may find employment as spies, warriors, mercenaries, assassins; they are famed for their versatility.[1][2][3] Secretive in the extreme, some ninja practice magic that further enhances their abilities of infiltration. Some ninja come together in clans, though many others are solitary rogues.
The ninjutsu ability and its variant commander ninjutsu are exclusive to ninjas.
History
Until 2017 the only sets featuring Ninjas were Betrayers of Kamigawa and Planechase 2012 (in the Night of the Ninja deck). They reappeared in the silver-bordered Unstable[4] and in Commander 2018[5].
According to Mark Rosewater, it is likely that Ninjas will also return to black border.[6]
