The drawback is that it's a 1/3 that is likely to die EVERY time it attacks unless you've got Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive.
Now, if you're getting some gain out of bouncing your own creatures, this becomes better.
if im correct ninjutsu basically replaces the attacking creature so it can´t actually be blocked.
i mean its very confusing because like, the creature thats getting replaced is unblocked. so blocker fase has already happened, and then this thing attacks even though there never was an extra attackers fase? wut?
but still, i think the correct way to see it is that the unblocked creature gets replaced with the ninjutsu card
