Ninja Aggro
Overview

Ninja Aggro attempts to abuse Ninjitsu Art of Transformation in order to cheat large monsters into play. Ninja Grand Master Sasuke and Strike Ninja are the format's most lethal ninjas, so they make up the core of the deck, along with the continuous trap. White Ninja is sometimes included as a search target, and Lady Ninja Yae is played in Wind-heavy lists.
The most common targets for Transformation are Big Koala, Behemoth the King of All Animals, and Ultimate Insect LV7. Usually, the Ninja player will becomes aggressive as early as possible, attacking into the backrow of the opponent, while building a backrow of their own. Once the opponent decides to spend removal (or anything that targets) on a ninja, it will be transformed, effectively countering the removal while also gaining a much larger threat for the enemy to deal with. Transformation can also be used during the combat step to sneak in an extra attack.

Deck List
With every ninja in the format also being a warrior-type, Reinforcement of the Army (RotA) is an obvious choice. D.D. Warrior Lady, Exiled Force, Zombyra the Dark, and Don Zaloog are all included as search targets for RotA, should they be needed. Don and Zombyra were partially incldued for their Dark Attribute, which has more synergy with Strike Ninja. The fair ratio of Lights and Darks also allows for Black Luster Soldier to be played. Big Koala is the boss monster of choice because it is least susceptible to Tsukuyomi and Book of Moon compared to other options.

Additional Card Options
Lady Ninja Yae is often chosen for her ability to bounce opposing spells and traps. These versions of the deck typically run a higher Wind monster count so that her effect can more reliably be activated. This means Ultimate Insect LV7 would be the fatty summoned with Transformation. Roc from the Valley of Haze is sometimes included as well because Yae is a star level three monster (so she can't transform into Ultimate Insect). Additionally, when discarded to her ability, Roc will shuffle back into the deck, allowing you to find it with Transformation again. Sasuke Samurai and its #4 counterpart also add to the wind count, and can be searched out with RotA.
