May'be a one drop of sorts would help, since it would enable the turn 2 ninja of deep. May'be ornithopter? I dunno any other good 1cc creatures that could be played, just a thought.

Also I'd say cut the cutpurse (get it? it's a pun). It's more a sb card, defineatly not md IMO. I think the space would be better spent on a 187 (come into play) creature or some other spells. Have you thought of muddle in the mixture? It's a preety good counter and alright tutor, I've heard getting jitte is a preety good thing.

plagued rusalka seems like a pretty good 1cc for the deck. it enables turn two ninja of wins games, kills guys, and keeps counters off of jitte/fetters off of your guys.

bob confidant may not be bad either, but he is another 2cc guy in a deck with 20-24 2 drops already.

Only one problem with this deck, The card Spell Snare from Dissention previewed by Flores this week, will totally own this deck. Also, try out a Higure, he's cool

First off, thanks for your replies. I really like some of your suggestions:

Plagued Rusalka is probably alot better than Cutpurse mainly because of how good it is vs Gruul and BW. I'll test with him.

Spell snare is fantastic against the deck, this is true. Hitting your turn two rats or infiltrator is huge, especially for the decks that will be running Spell Snare, which I believe will be mostly Control decks. Some aggro decks like Sea Stompy might even run it in the board. I'll have to test against this card and see how uber it is against me.

Here's what I'll test with:

//Creatures
4x Plagued Rusalka
4x Ravenous Rats
4x Dimir Infiltrator
3x Nekrataal (added 1 because of how good he is against Gruul)
4x Ninja of Deep Hours (added 1 because -Cutpurse +Rusalka)
2x Okiba-Gang Shinobi

//Spells
4x Repeal
4x Remand
4x Mana Leak
4x Boomerang
1x Umezawa's Jitte

//Lands
4x Underground River
4x Watery Grave
7x Swamp
7x Island

//Sideboard
4x Shadow of Doubt
4x Cranial Extraction
4x Spell Snare
3x Delerium Skeins
