Master Splinter by barko85

Format: Commander

Commander: Splinter, Radical Rat

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Esper Ninja-tribal tempo deck built to weaponize Splinter, Radical Rat's trigger-doubling. The core loop rides the ninjutsu/sneak mechanic: a small evasive attacker connects, gets bounced to hand, and is replaced by a Ninja whose on-hit ability fires twice. Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow becomes a double reveal/draw/lifeloss machine, Moon-Circuit Hacker draws two, and Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni or Nashi, Moon Sage's Scion double their theft. The deck wins through incremental combat and drain, accelerated by life-loss multipliers: Shredder, Shadow Master's halving copy-attacks, Dark Leo & Shredder's five-Ninja trigger, Wound Reflection's end-step double, and Ninja's Blades discard-drain. Endless Foot Assault generates tapped-and-attacking Ninja tokens for every opponent each combat, feeding Yuriko and the halving effects. Secondary grind lines include mass recursion via Bloodline Bidding and a reset-and-refill with Turtles in Time.
