Strike Ninja is a cool card. Especially when comboed with D.D. Scout Plane, which was kind of worthless before. But with XYZ monsters, I think the deck has some potential.
Another previously worthless card is also very good in the deck; Card of Sacrifice.
Why? Well, Strike Ninja doesn't summon himself every turn, he simply returns to the field. Order of Chaos also released some new Ninja support cards, and even though they aren't particulary useful for this deck, it is worth keeping in memory.
3 Strike Ninja
3 D.D. Scout Plane
2 Card Trooper
1 Sangan
1 Dark Armed Dragon

1 Reinforcement of the Army
2 Pot of Duality
2 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Foolish Burial
1 Gold Sarcophagus
1 Monster Reborn
1 Dark Hole
1 Book of Moon
1 Heavy Storm
1 Mind Control
1 Allure of Darkness
3 Card of Sacrifice
1 Ninjutsu Art of Super-Transformation
1 Ninjutsu Art of Duplication
1 Ninjutsu Art of Rust Mist
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Mirror Force
1 Trap Dustshoot
2 Gachi Gachi Gantetsu
1 Number 96: Dark Mist
2 Daigusto Phoenix
2 Blade Armor Ninja
1 Steelswarm Roach
1 Number 39: Utopia
1 Lavalval Chain
1 Daigusto Emeral
X other generic XYZ monsters.
The deck should be fairly obvious when it comes to playing. Get Strike Ninja going, use Daigusto, Gachi Gachi and Blade Armor Ninja to push for unsuspected amounts of damage. Remember that Blade Armor Ninja targets a Ninja monster, and that Daigusto Phoenix targets a WIND monster.
So if you have Blade Heart, Strike Ninja and Daigusto Phoenix, you hit for 9300 and not 9100.
I might redo this deck after some testing, perhaps to play Envoy of the Beginning and some lights. I heard people like splashing that, so why not? But to be honest, I'm kind of tired of the same EotB+Tour Guide brokeness decks. Feels like I have to run 2 Veiler 2 Maxx "C" in all decks (which is partly true), but I can at least hope my non-super competitive decks aren't killed by the ban list, which undoubtly will kill a lot of other things.
during the swedish nationals a long time ago i tried this deck actually. It was actually not that bad since i fucking stomped CD's blackwings that got top 4 (i think? top8 maybe?). i played plasmas / malicous back then with 1 d-draw since strike ninja + 2 planes was a free plasma. the deck definately has some potential. i also played a very underrated card: jinzo (with escape from the D.D.) and made the deck more resilient vs cards such as heavy storm etc.
