MTG Salvation

Hey guys! I have not played Magic in a while and I'm thinking of making a new deck... So far I found the ninjutsu trait to be very interesting so I looked online and found a few decks and combined them, this is what I have as of now:

Creatures:

• 2 Higure, the Still Wind
  
• 1 Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni
  
• 4 Mistblade Shinobi
  
• 2 Ninja of the Deep Hours
  
• 2 Sakashima's Student
  
• 4 Tormented Soul
  
• 2 Walker of Secret Ways
  
• 2 Invisible Stalker
  
• 2 Augury Owl
  
• 2 Skullsnatcher
  
• 2 Throat Slitter
  

Instants:

• 2 Familiar's Ruse
  
• 4 Mana Leak
  
• 4 Veil of Secrecy

Lands:

• 4 Dimir Guildgate
  
• 8 Island
  
• 8 Swamp

Artifacts:

• 2 Brass Squire
  
• 2 Shuriken
  
• 2 Ronin Warclub

Is there anything I should take out/replace? Any better cards for synergy with my deck? Thank you guys!

EDIT: Also, I don't want to buy anything too expensive. The Sakashima's Student and Ink-Eyes already costs $16 on their own (which is pretty much half the cost of this entire deck). I guess my main strategy is to keep bouncing my creatures back and forth and deal damage.

EDIT 2: The total # of cards I have in this deck is 61.

First, you should use the Deck Tag, that will make your deck much more easier to see:



You must run 4 Ninja of the Deep Hours, this card is what makes the deck work by drawing into more threats and answers. I would replace the 2 Skullsnatcher, they are too narrow. Brass Squire seems too cute. Take away the Invisible Stalkers and the Augury Owls and replace it for 4 Ornithopter (Sure, it doesn't have protection or scry, but will make the deck much faster).

Also, 20 lands is kinda low... See if you can find one or two Creeping Tar Pits and one Minamo, School at Water's Edge (I think that 22 lands is the ideal). Distortion Strike is much, much better card than Veil of Secrecy, replace then. You should find some copies of B spot discard (Duress, Inquisition of Kozilek, or if you can afford Thoughtseize), is much better to proactive protect your ninjas with discard than depending on cards like Veil of Secrecy or counterspells only.

Hope that helps! Have fun!

Thanks TsuanaHan! But what do you mean by brass squire being too cute?

Because if you don't have a equipment (you only run 4 btw), you can't activate his ability. Also, he doesn't have evasion to get your ninjas straight to the face. There is a variety of best choices for three mana or less.

Thanks again! I also saw a card called blinding powder. Should I use it?

No, it's completely unnecessary. I tried out both Ronin War Club and Shuriken in my ninja deck and found both to be lackluster. I prefer to handle creatures with Mistblade Shinobi, Throat Slitter and a bit of spot removal.

Here is the list that I have been running. It does really well in multiplayer too.

This is my U/B Ninja deck I use in competitive modern and in casual to and it holds true to the ancient art of ninjitsu Feel free to take a gander and I hope it gives you an idea to help:)
