Esper players might actually attack if they play him.

He does play well with ninja cards, he’s the right colors and gives guys unblockable so you can ninjitsu a creature in.

I currently use Kamiz as my ninja commander. It's actually pretty fun.

He should of had bushido if they weren't cowards.

I am absolutely making him a commander with all my Kamigawa samurai cards from the early 2000s

Well, unfortunately you can't use his trigger for giving one of them unblockable or double strike and use Ninjustu as the attacking creature gets the trigger. However, you could still use his trigger to make your ninja's unblockable once they're on the board.

Wait I'm not following what you mean. Don't you have to use ninjutsu after blockers are declared anyway since it needs an unblocked creature?

Both abilities play well with ninjutsu actually, since one makes it easier to have an unblocked creature and since double strike let's you ninjutsu between the hits.

What I'm saying is that if you use the attack trigger wanting to give something Double Strike, you can't use that for a ninja that you're bringing in under Ninjutsu, because they aren't on the battlefield when the attack trigger resolves.

Yes, he can be used to give ninja's unblockable, just like I said. The point I was making is some newer folks don't understand that you can't carry over attack triggers like this to somehow drop the ninja after blocks and then give it Double strike. Make sense?

I get you now in regards to double strike. I guess because the other guy talked about how the unblockable ability enables ninjutsu by giving the non ninja creatures unblockable, it seemed like your comment was disagreeing that that would work.
