Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Ninja tempo build centered on Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow. The primary plan deploys cheap, evasive creatures on early turns and uses Commander Ninjutsu to put Yuriko onto the battlefield tapped and attacking for {U}{B}, bypassing commander tax entirely. When Yuriko and other Ninjas deal combat damage to players, they reveal the top card of the library, put it into hand, and cause each opponent to lose life equal to its mana value. The list packs high-mana spells such as Time Stretch, Clone Legion, and Nexus of Fate to turn these combat triggers into massive group life loss. While the deck lacks fast mana and dedicated topdeck tutors, it compensates with strong card velocity, evasive attackers, and hand disruption. Chaining combat triggers and extra turns steadily drains opponent life totals while keeping the hand full.
