I would have liked to see him actually snatching a skull. but this is a good card nonetheless.

Bad? How can this be bad? Its the only ninja that has higher power than Ninjutsu cost. Also if you don't want to remove cards up to can include zero.

I agree, this guy is better than he seems at first glance. Good power with cheap Ninjutsu, and the lowest CMC of any Ninja. Turn one Shuriken, then this guy on turn two and you have some nice removal options that a typical Ninja deck doesn't see so quickly!

Well, it can be used to sneek in 2 damage if you swung with an ornithopter, but really i would rather have a ninja with a useful hit ability, as personally i would rather be animateing there creatures than exileing them.

4/5. This rat is actually fantastic. I've been tweeking my Rat Ninjutsu deck for a while and left this guy out because of his perk (my meta doesn't use alot of flashback so its no big to me about graveyard exiling). Compare in terms of damage to Throat Slitter. You're trading 2 mana for the perk of killing a nonblack assuming they have a nonblack. Still obv not as forceful as an Okiba-Gang or an Ink-Eyes but those are getting closer to bombs. This guy is great for those Turn 2-Turn 3 swings if you don't have something else ready, and rats can use any damage available to them, considering they're generally weak.
Turn1: Typhoid Rats
Turn2: They don't block because of Deathtouch, Ninjutsu out for 
and they take 2, you drop your typhoid rats back out for on turn 2 and have a Deathtouch blocker.
Also a good target to ninjutsu ravenous rats off.

It's a cheap ninja. Well-costed, sometimes-useful effect, and the Ninjutsu cost is fair. I'd play it if it didn't have the graveyard-exiling ability. And the art is amazing.
