One of the most severely underrated ninja cards ever! Sure throat slitter kills off non-black creatures every time it deals combat damage.... but what if you're dueling a black deck? Or fighting creatures with regen? Everybody thinks of him as weak simply because he's a 1/1, easily blocked, easily killed... but thats what enchantments are for! enchant him with an evasive ability (protective bubble, or shimmering wings) and he instantly becomes a game changer. Not even Ink-eyes' regen can defend itself from mistblade's unsummoning ability. Definitely one of the most useful ninja's out there.

Ah my first experiment in drafting with a ninja deck contrary to it's ninja of the deep hours cousin you should get this out late in the game for some assault damage.It's an unsummon that deals one damage neat! However like the ninja of the deep hours it has only one function to return and make the way clear so you can get to your opponent's life points and not get blocked by creatures.This unsummon ninja is perfect in a ninja deck along with ninja of the deep hours it fills in the space of a ninja army along with throat slitter,Higure the still wind and Ink eyes.Thinkl about it with Mistblade shinobi it all fits,One returns,one draws,one destroys,one re-animates,and one finds.The Mistblade shinobi is a ok bouncer provided you can get to you're opponents life points.A must have essential of four but you need to use it wisely used too little and your opponents army increases used too much and your opponent will block that creature killing that creature and your chance of bouncing something.An overall average card.
