A-Nezumi Prowler

A-Nezumi Prowler is a 2-mana Rat Ninja with Ninjutsu, enabling surprise blockers or evasive attackers by returning an unblocked attacker to hand. Its key strength is in granting both deathtouch and lifelink counters to a creature you control upon entering, enhancing combat sustainability and threat deterrence. Best used in aggressive or tempo decks where ninjutsu triggers are frequent and your creatures benefit from counters. Synergizes well with unblockable creatures and decks that capitalize on deathtouch or lifelink triggers (e.g., death triggers, lifegain benefits). Enables combat tricks, surprise damage, and bolstering a key creature's defensive and offensive capabilities quickly.
