 Monster Lineup

• Flying Kamakiri #1 (3x): Provides consistency by tutoring Harpie Lady 1, Hunter Owl, Sasuke Samurai or Lady Ninja Yae. Keeps pressure on board while fueling graveyard for Bazoo/Silpheed.
• Harpie Lady 1 (3x) + Harpie Queen (3x): Core beaters. Queen ensures access to Harpies’ Hunting Ground, while Lady 1 boosts all WIND monsters, making even small Kamakiris respectable threats.
• Bazoo the Soul-Eater (2x): Key synergy piece. Removes WIND monsters to fuel Return pushes and can beat over big threats immediately.
• Silpheed (2x): Free special summon with banished setup; excellent synergy with Bazoo and Return.
• Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke (2x): Handles face-up DEF walls (Gravekeeper’s Spy, Spirit Reaper) that otherwise stall swarms and can be used with Ninjitsu Art to search for a Harpie Lady, Bazoo or Flying Kamakiri.
• Hunter Owl (1x): Scales well with multiple WINDs on board, often reaching 2000–2500 ATK.
• Utility Picks: D.D. Warrior Lady, Exiled Force, and Tribe-Infecting Virus give versatile spot removal and answers to problem monsters.

 Spell Suite

• Harpies’ Hunting Ground (2x): The main enabler. Turns every Harpie summon into backrow removal, forcing cautious play from slower decks.
• Power Spells: Pot of Greed, Snatch Steal, Premature Burial — staples for advantage and swing turns.
• Board Control: Lightning Vortex, Enemy Controller, Creature Swap provide flexible monster management.
• Reinforcement of the Army: Effectively bringing Sasuke to be able to use Ninjitsu Art / Exiled Force depending on matchup needs.

Trap Lineup

• Return from the Different Dimension (2x): Win condition. Works with Bazoo, Silpheed, and even incidental removals like D.D. Warrior Lady. It's a trap you can use even if your LP is low, this allows to use Solemn Judgment.
• Ninjitsu Art of Transformation (1x): Surprise tech. Converts Ninja into Harpie, Hunter Owl or Bazoo mid-combat, dodges removal, and accelerates tempo.
• Defensive Core: Solemn Judgment (2x), Torrential Tribute, Mirror Force, Call of the Haunted, Bottomless Trap Hole (2x). Strong balance of proactive and reactive disruption.
• Icarus Attack (1x): Extra spot removal that synergizes with Harpies and Kamakiri floaters.
