I find it odd how we comment on the hotness of furry characters over human characters in this game. That aside, Ink-Eyes is a very efficient black creature beat-stick; 5/4 for 6 isn't that bad when you throw in regeneration, and a 5/4 for 5 with regeneration is even better. The yard-theft/reanimation is the icing on the cake.

@divine_exodus: Actually, in the pic, she doesn't have ink eyes, she more has blood fog eyes. The red trails are coming from her eyes, really creepy effect.
@TheSwarm: Yeah, me too! :( I have none so far, one of the few Betrayers cards I'm still missing. She shows up neither in the Rats' Nest nor the Ninjitsu PreCon deck...
Just the lady to don a Whispersilk Cloak!

Not only is it a fantastic card, it's a LEGENDARY RAT NINJA. That's sums up awesome in 3 words.

Those eyes must make it hard for her to hide. Is she just such an amazing ninja that she needed a handicap?

One of my few creature cards that I have that is on my no-trade mental list.
Always seems to make a difference whenever I play her.

@ferlord
or maybe she had ink eye's before she became a servant of oni, and the red is ninja power/ oni power shing through her black eyes.

ever notice how all the ninjas have paralyzingly good art? I'm not saying it's hot, or whatever, but man Ink-Eyes looks like a badass.

I think Okiba-Gang Shinobi works well with this card. Almost in every way was both cards made for each other.
Black + Rat Ninja + Ninjutsu + Effects sort of gives both chemistry. I, however, do not like the fact that you can't bring creatures from your graveyard out. That is why the Okiba's effect is pretty efficient and can help Ink-Eyes effect.
THe one thing i find confusing is when she's called Ink-Eyes, and all i see in her eyes is a trail of red... fiery mist of whatever. I understand that she is a servant of oni's, but then call her "Blood-Eyes" or something if so.
Or maybe the people of Kamigawa are strange and like writing in red. Blood red... Interesting :P

I find it interesting that she's the "servant of Oni" and yet she's more powerful and useful than the majority of actual Onis. Although, according to her story, "A Servant's Mission", the "oni" in question is actually Kuro, Pitlord, who is pretty damn badass of his own right.
Also, I like how she can slaughter her human blue counterpart, Higure, the Still Wind in combat, without even using her regeneration. She's fairly more powerful than him too, since contrarily to him she doesn't need the synergy of a Ninja deck to be playable. Nevertheless, they combo together in a blue-black deck as well - Higure can help bring her out, as well as make her unblockable for her reanimation effect to really kick in.
@Ferlord: You're not the only one to be bothered by this, and while the theory is interesting, I found out that the blood trails are a result of the recent power boost Kuro gave her. Presumably, her name dates from back when she still had black ... (see all)
