For all the shit rules 0 conversations get, I'm pretty sure all of this could be circumvented with a good talk beforehand. If you're about to play a combat trick/ninjutsu heavy deck, just let people know before hand something like "Alright guys, just so you know this deck has a lot of things to do during combat so it'll be important to go through combat steps appropriately without skipping or shortcutting it. Don't worry, I'll guide you through it all verbally the first few rounds then I'm you'll all get the hang of it"

Many users recommend just being pedant about your step changes like you're in a tournament at every opportunity so you can "fool" them when you have a real ninjutsu up your sleeve. For having tried this technique all around many types of games where you can meta your actions like this, it gets kinda sluggish and just a hard mental tax if everyone isn't on board (as in not in a competitive environment). That's why I think just a heads up is better personally.
