The three cards featured above are just to highlight some of the themes I'm trying to go for in the deck. This is my first ever EDH deck and I'm looking forward to trying out. Since this is my first deck, I may be lacking in some obvious choices. I did however try for flavor and synergy.
As some may notice by looking at the list, I'm trying to abuse Ninjutsu by bouncing back some utility critters whenever I can. Vela combines well with Ninjutsu but I also run a fair amount of critters that can be sac'ed for some kind of effect. Shirei fits in nicely here. There's also a decent amount of spirit/arcane cards which I plan on abusing via Thief of Hope and Infernal Kirin.
I may be a couple of cards short from 100 so there's tons of room for tweaking. Anyway, I'd appreciate some thoughts and suggestions on the deck. Am really curious to read what you all think.
Ashes to Ashes is out-of-control nuts. Best stop removal in the format. For card draw, Skullclamp and Coastal Piracy are both fantastic with loads of small evasive critters.

You would never guess, at the terrifying sight of the man, that Hunding was as charming a companion as one could wish for.
Flavour wise these are great, but some of them don't hold up in EDH
True but he said he was trying for flavour. As bad as it is in a non Voltron build, I think Sleep is just too perfect for this deck to pass up. I'd let Death's Caress slide though.
