I don't know what half of those cards do... Why don't you do some testing? Find someone willing to play you. Or go to comic book shop, I tend to find a lot of players there >>

Have you considered running at least one silver senior ninja it is a possible +3

Fixed. Armor Ninjas arent nearly as good as I wish they where. They don't search or draw so they're going to lack any real tempo. The deck plays thoroughly anti-meta with turn one hopeful set up for a white dragon ninja- safe zone play. This protects backrows so you can start setting heavily and wearing your opponent down.

Hanzo > Super Ninijstu art > White Dragon Ninja > Safezone.

Well, I have actually been playing with this deck format and found it really is very funny yo play with. I have some trouble beating lightsworn and a few other deck archetypes but I find that it's, for the most part, consistant.

I thought about it for a while, and I kind of wish it was a 5 star instead of a six star.
It's true duplication can spam the crap out of the field, making flame a +2 card from the deck but I have minor graveyard support.
Thank you for the food for thought.

Well, Depending on the first turn, they search like a boss. But I agree the draw power isn't as great as I hoped it could be, It's search and draw power is pretty much on par as the Six Samurai before they were nerfed. However I do, more often then not, get to summon out the White Dragon Ninja for a game turnabout which the action itself is quite hilarious. Stopping a junk syncron or quickdraw before it can become something scary is too good.
I'll test this deck out on the Dueling Network. Thank you for the input.

When you play against others do you ask them on ways they think you could improve?

Well considering this is a fairly new archetype, I wouldn't ask them how to make it more consistent because a lot of people aren't really interested in creating a new deck and therefore have no real insight. Especially on the Duelist Network.

I do have friends who are building their decks as I build my own though and I feel we garner a good bit of useful ideas from each other. One good recent instance is that Flame Ninja, combined with Duplication can fill up the field very fast with intimidating monsters, because set cards are often intimidating.

In you deck testing have you spotted anything that might require tweeking? Maybe more back row or revival stuff? Maybe not drawing enough cards to keep your field up? Or maybe noticing you weighed one side more than the others?

I've noticed many things, The biggest key card is the Duplication and because of its effect it is both the players way to utilize the ninja to it's fullest as well as its biggest downfall. The survival of the back row is a must, and I am currently having trouble finding anti-destruction cards that would run well with the deck, but a funny little chain combo with a my body as a shield or starlight road helps both back and front rows stay consistent. Karma Cut is often an unforseen strategic card which not only drops cards that are useless in your hand like Aqua or White Dragon Ninja but remove from play key opponent cards like Phallanx or Quickdraw syncron.

Currently I'm at a loss as how to make them faster since their speed/strength hitter is blade, however they do set up very nicely for a Utopia Ray if something stronger then 2500 shows up. I rarely use crimson and am thinking of taking him out all together. Are you thinking about making a deck?

Not yet, I'm waiting on the rest of the Masked Heroes to pop up.
Destruction Jammer is a pretty good counter trap :'D and I'm pretty sure it's costless

Ah, I see.
Destruction jammer is nice, but it costs a discard to save monsters. I may prefer the use of "My body as a shield" I'd rather ditch 1.5k then a key card I may need. Though the speed would be nice to have.
