Deck idea, card discussion

[bronxie]

I was looking through some cards i had and one thing cought my eye...
Ninja of Deep Hours

I want to use Ninja in a deck because i can see some it coming in handy and being cool so how about using it in a deck? Ninja-finity is what my friend and i came up with, but we cant come up with an amazing list.  We want this one to be post rotation and be crazy cool and actually be able to compete.  Any ideas?

Also, anybody know of any really cool ways to use Magical Hack?

Guttural Response -- good enough to see sideboard play in r/g decks?

Bronxie,

Check out the different Landstill/Fish decks that abuse the ninja really well.
As for magical hack, it ussually works well with big, land specific, disruptive enchantments or sorceries ie: Volcanic Eruption.
The jury is still out on Guttural Response.  Personally I like it.

does Beseech the Queen have a place in vintage? i think it looks solid but could just be me...
and preferrably not landstill... fish needs brainstorm and other ponder like substances for it to be good... seems to me they just got restricted...

Ninja is great with low casting cost creatures that have solid "comes into play" abilities.

Sage of Epityr is one example.  Sage is much better now that Brainstorm is restricted!

Other examples could be Trinket Mage or Eternal Witness, but those are too slow.
Tin Street Hooligan would be an example, but R/G/B/U would already be 4 colors so that would force a rainbow base.

Cloudskate and Skyshroud Ridgeback are other options of creatures that want to be bounced and replayed.  They are not good enough for vintage though.

Konda, Savannah Lions and Gorilla Shaman are 1cc creatures that you can bounce and then easily replay later.

Beseech the queen seems kind of clunky to me.
Demigod of Revenge looks like a viable reanimation kill. Using exhume, buried alive and any reanimation spell.

Beseech the Queen needs lands and that means turn ... It could only be played in ritual-combo-decks and running a combo deck relying on a bunch of turns/lands is bad

[bronxie]

but its a 3 mana tutor for dark rit or yawg will in combo... assuming you have lands...

So is grim tutor, except you don't need the lands.  Beseech is worse than diabolic tutor which sees no play.  As far as ninja goes follow what artic said and check out old fish builds.

Also, stifle is still a good spell, so I wouldn't rely on demigod any time soon since it faces splash hate intended for storm decks and grave decks.
