Yeah, so because I plan on at least trying Shinobi Scrolls for draw and putting Spells (and possibly [Ambush] monsters in), I like to have the Ninja Arts Attribute, so I can cast them from underneath. I don't know, different strokes for differen folks, but I've found that Shinobi Scrolls confuses opponents at times. Everyone is so used to looking at how many cards are in your hand that they can forget you have Spells and Impacts you can cast from under Shinobi at any time. Since I'm already using Hades Fall, it's nice to put it under Shinobi, pay a gauage, draw a card and then Set Hades right after, etc... And with Zetsu as a possible backup Item, you can grab either from the drop. Anyway, back to your actual topic.

That conditional 4 gauge (2 unless you're at 5 life or less), Raiton is Ninja Arts and I've had some good success with it, but Clear Serenity is still more consistent at 3 gauge with no restrictions. Both are [Counters], so I like to cast it when someone thinks I'm out of gauge, etc...

You already know I like Benefit for these guys, since it's 1 of only 3 cards that gives you absolute control of when to [Ambush}. Since nearly any Katana Deck can do with life gain, it helps there by giving you 2 life and 1 gauge. Not much gauge there, but since it's in an Assassin Demon deck, if you have Red Ogress under a monster and she's attacked, you get a nullify, 2 life and 1 gauge to be able to pay for her call cost, or the Item's ability, etc... Yeah, I know it's only 1 gauge, but it plays as a plus for me, since I'm usually using it for negates or life gain...every gauge counts?

Really, since it's Demon Assassin, there aren't many options from Katana. However, I've found it easy to gauge an [Ambush] monster once the engine is running as it comes back to my hand from the drop quickly, so there's that.

Hmmm... My brain might be failing now as I am getting asked questions from others, and her the Gumball playing on the TV in the background. I guess I could mention Cloud Billow since it gives gauge, but it only gives 2, which Raiton does, and if you're not using Lethal Formation, there's not much point in using it instead of Clear Serenity or Raiton.
