#mtg deckbuilding

First and foremost is the bread and butter of the list - four of each ninja, four Ornithopter, and four familiars. I'm on three Silver Raven as a discount version of Faerie Seer, and a gurmag to help close out games.

Next up is our other assorted artifacts - three tithing blade and three blood fountain. While the blades are situational, as they do very little vs spawn tokens, Blood Fountain is an all-star in this list. It is two artifacts for one mana, allowing for very early familiars and thoughtcasts when played early, and later into the game it generates an absurd amount of value with its sac effect. Getting to fix hands using the blood token happens on occasion as well.

As for the instants and sorceries, we have the full 4 thoughtcasts, three metallic rebukes (another powerful use-case for blood fountain) and some other more generic tools as well: deadly disputes can help repurpose stranded ninjas or extra tokens when games go long, spell pierce is super useful when it comes to forcing through early plays to get the ninja ball rolling, and two cast downs are around as well to hopefully snipe Chrys or any other creature that contests my early fliers.

As for the land base, it's nothing special - four of each artifact land in color, and the UB bridge to boot. Past there, I'm on basics.

It doesn't have the greatest matchup into everything, but I adore ninjas and the way they play, and I would encourage anyone who likes tempo decks with a plan to go long to give it a roll!

Here are my four self built decks

(Can you tell i like Duskmourn and specifically Winter)

I need a name for my Winter, Cursed Rider deck tho.

Here are the deck lists (built in Manabox)

Final Updated Archidekt of the Landfall Desert Token Magic the Gathering Deck with Dune Alternate Art and Names! [LINK]

I build this deck with idea of the lore in Dune when Paul Atreides is in the desert of Arrakis before he takes the Water of Life.
