Hey I just got the Idea to try and use Nin for something. I don't know one hundred percent how i want the deck to go but I DO know I will be using Stuffy Doll and Psychosis Crawler....because they are No-Brainer cards. Please I really would appreciate some ideas, and yes i am on a budget.
hey. i have been playing nin a lot lately. i built her on a whim and to my surprise is she INSANE! i build her a lot differently then most though. no stuffy doll or psychosis crawler....just a lot of good cheap ultility guys with 2 or more toughness (so you can shoot them to draw cards! duh!) a la trinket mage, venser...stuff like that. coupled with good creature theft and some massive mana ramping (infinite mana works well here) and the emergency bazaar trader/forbidden orcahard to give the opponents a dude to shoot for the deck out. sprinkle some infinite turns on top for a pretty consistent deck with multiple angles of attack.
I played Nin for several months via proxy before she was released (/HipsterAriel.jpg). Best advice I can give you? Don't work too hard to build around here. She's insane without much help. I know the inner Johnny in us wants to build heavily around her, but honestly, she'd be better if her ability just let you sac the creature, even if it limited you to hitting your own guys. You will almost never use it on your opponents unless they've got an x/1, maybe an x/2 general or if you have infinite mana. Drawing cards for X is just that good and her mana cost is so low that you just don't need to do that much to get ahead.
I recommend Basilisk Collar, Inferno Titan and Vedalken Shackles to start. If you have a good manabase (duals and shocks), try also Dominus of Fealty. Steal effects that last a turn or more are particularly good in the deck because you can shoot the guy you stole when you have to and then re-steal something else later.
SuperSonik is right, don't try to build your deck around her. Just put some creatures that will benefit from her ability (Solemn Simulacrum, Wurmcoil Engine, Stuffy Doll, etc.) and then fill the deck the way you want.
Sh'es a good general by herself, allowing you to draw and make some political moves if needed, but if you want some ideas, you can still look at my deck in my sig.
Oo i forgot about the Dominus. Are there anyways to get unlimited mana in U/R that aren't really annoying like Nether Traitor/Genesis Chamber/Phyrexian Altar?
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
