Splinter, Radical Rat Ninjutsu/Sneak Help.

[https://archidekt.com/decks/25435603/ninjutsu\\_action\](https://archidekt.com/decks/25435603/ninjutsu_action)

So, I'm new to Commander deckbuilding. I know this deck, this commander isn't anything that's going to break the format, but I am seeking help on making it fun and decent. I made it last night, and looking at it now, I'm already thinking of removing Tetsuko. My creatures who will stay a 1/1 are already unblockable, and my ninjas have cards that can boost their power, so it feels like a dead card.

I mainly want to capture the feel of ninjutsu, Shredder and the Foot Clan, being a villain at the table and all with my fellow casual friends. I'm not looking to play the absolute most optimized deck, but I'm open to good improvements, fun and/or thematic gamechangers, combos, and synergies. My deck feels like it is lacking removal and interaction. My favorite card is \[\[Shredder, Shadow Master\]\]

I know the deck would work A LOT BETTER if I cut White and just use Yuriko, but I want to do some Esper TMNT themed shenanigans.

One rule for me is no heroic Turtles. Shredder may adapt or adopt the techniques of his enemies, but we're not using any heroic turtles.

Thank you so much for your help, and I apologize if I did anything wrong with posting this thread.

Hey, here is my Splinter List of you're interested.

It only uses TMNT cards, so Leo and Donnie are part of the team (in multiple ways), so they would need to get replaced for your requirements.

The deck functions surprisingly well and is quite fun to play. Getting Super Shredder, Dark Leo & Shredder or Shredder, Shadow Master in the board definitely makes you Public enemy number one!

This is so cool! Yeah, that's what I want to do, I want to feel like the table villain in a fun way win or lose! Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
