Welcome to this Ninja Faerie Draco Standstill deck!

This deck revolves around tricky moves with ninjas and faeries (and a secret dragon), and accumulating card advantage through them. By including Standstill , the idea is that the parity for it can be broken by using the ninjutsu-ability, as it doesn't count as casting a spell. The deck includes 15 cards for accumulating card advantage in Standstill , Baleful Strix , Ninja of the Deep Hours , and Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow . Nice!

An extra spicy part of the deck is the inclusion of Enlightened Tutor and Draco . Draco is the spell in mtg with the highest cmc available (in Legacy at least), and the tutor can put it on to of our library. Before Yuriko's triggered ability resolves, Draco can be tutored to the top of the deck, inflicting a total of 17 damage to the opponent. Hopefully that damage can carry us a long way. In a pinch, Enlightened Tutor can also be used to put Standstill , Baleful Strix or some other sideboard card on top if needed. If Draco is already in hand, one has to depend on making use of Brainstorm .

Cloud of Faeries into Standstill is a nice start. Baleful Strix is also a welcome start to get a creature through, to enable ninjutsu. Spellstutter Sprite is also neat to return to hand, to allow for additional conterspelling.

No bitter blossom? Under a standstill, that’s gonna be nuts to deal with

Hello again @Schweinefett, I got to play the list yesterday at my LGS. Now after some matches, I do think that Bitterblossom would have been awesome; can't wait to test it. My plan is for the moment to add two of them, and remove Sword of feast and famine, along with Higure, the still wind, which were a bit too expensive.

Thanks for asking! It is indeed an interesting card for the list. It does churn out many faeries eventually. Though it does take 2 turn for the first token to be active and available for attack. It is also a bit of a non-bo to return the tokens to hand with the ninjas. I am currently just starting to testing the list, so I will definitely keep it on my radar : )

Is it really that much of a nonbo? You get evasive 1/1s and get the discount for ninjas, isn't that enough? You don't lose cards on it, it's a 1-1

Also, you madman, using Draco as a kill con lmao, I love it

Well, it’s a tad nonbo, but many of the decks that don’t care about the standstill because of crazy card advantage engines themselves really can’t handle stuff like bitterblossoms.

Looks fun, actually. I got a mate who goes doomsday/5 extra turn spells on the library for an infinite loop win.

I'm a little suprised you aren't running Mistblade Shinobi. It's been awhile since I played legacy, but I remember that card being really good in monoblue fairyninjastill. This build is really cool though. I might have to try it.
