Ninja of the New Moon hits the table as a 4/3 with ninjutsu, draws a card on every successful combat damage hit, and lets you rebuy an unblocked creature's enter-the-battlefield trigger in the same attack — all for two mana to ninjutsu in. The catch is a six-mana ninjutsu cost that makes it one of the priciest ninjutsu activations in the format, so it belongs in decks that can consistently get it in for free or near-free, not as generic filler.

Commander is the natural home for Ninja of the New Moon — ninjutsu decks centered on Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow or Satoru Umezawa can exploit the card draw trigger repeatedly across a long game, and the ETB-rebuy effect stacks well with creatures that care about entering the battlefield. In Pauper the six-mana ninjutsu cost is steep enough that cheaper ninjas usually take the slot, though the raw card advantage is real in slower builds. Legacy and Vintage have no practical reason to run it when faster, cheaper threats dominate, so treat those legalities as theoretical rather than meaningful.

Price Context
Current price
$0.20 bulk tier
At $0.20, Ninja of the New Moon is pure bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or in a bulk lot. Bulk rares with narrow homes don't tend to climb without a spike in Commander interest, so treat this as a cheap roleplayer rather than a spec.
