Chris and Joe want to dive deep into the rules and mechanics of the Trading card game Magic: the Gathering. These episodes are typically tailored to newer players, but experienced players are welcome to join in, as well.
A harmless little ornithopter is coming your way. Zero power? Low chance of a combat trick? No problem. Suddenly, that ornithopter becomes a rat ninja that causes you to discard cards and you’re taking damage! This is the art of ninjutsu. Potent creatures hide in your opponent’s hand until the opportune moment to strike. Join Chris and Joe as Joe discusses his nostalgia with this mechanic (one of his favorites) and Chris discusses his first interactions with ninjutsu as a primary mechanic of a set.
Our extended reading is a short video from Wizards of the Coast employee Gavin Verhey. In it, he discusses some tips and tricks on using the ninjutsu mechanic.
