Prosperous Thief⁣ - Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [73]

Prosperous Thief is a 3/2 Human Ninja that costs {2}{U} to cast. When you attack with an unblocked creature, you can use its Ninjutsu ability for {1}{U} to return that creature to your hand and put Prosperous Thief onto the battlefield tapped and attacking instead. This card rewards you when your Ninja or Rogue creatures hit a player by creating Treasure tokens, which you can sacrifice for mana of any colour, making it a useful tool for ramping into bigger spells or activating additional abilities. You’d want to play Prosperous Thief in a deck that features a lot of Ninja or Rogue creatures, as its ability to generate Treasure can help you maintain a steady flow of mana. However, it relies on your other creatures connecting with players, so if your opponents have a strong defence, you may struggle to get the value from it. Additionally, its relatively low toughness means it can be easily removed, making it a bit fragile in a combat-heavy environment.
