@ Rajin  Every person has different experiences, and with so many groups of players online and in person, unfortunately, it seems you haven't run into viable Ninja Decks other than Gojinmaru.

In my experience, it's is definietely not Gojinmaru or bust... The normal deck built with Gojinmaru as the center piece I find to be quite boring myself anyway. I prefer misdirection, even with Gojin in a deck. And while my favorite decks are not built around "one attribute" as I'll tech in a Goishi here, Generic there, Skull, I'm happy to say I've seen Ninja Only decks that certainly don't come anywhere near the "bust" side of things. Even last month, I saw a deck using mostly cards released in the first year, with just a few from the more recent boosters. Cards like Sky Ninja, Teru, Fire Streak Gokuen, etc... performed quite well in their build.

While I do believe that Katana as a whole has been handicapped in a way, I love that it virtually, if not literally, has a Counter to just about anything out there. This is simply my opinion, but it also seems to me that perhaps sideboarding is more crucial to Katana than any other world, which can certainly impact the outcome of matches. Unfortunately, while sims don't really have sideboarding, even many normal tournaments don't use it that much until they are tuning for regionals.
