Deck overview

This deck is an Esper combat-focused midrange strategy led by Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima. The primary game plan revolves around deploying cheap, evasive creatures and Ninjas during the early turns, followed by casting Jin Sakai on Turn 4. Jin's triggered abilities grant solo attackers either unblockability or double strike, guaranteeing combat damage connections that trigger powerful saboteur effects, draw extra cards, and cheat expensive Ninjas into play via Ninjutsu and Sneak mechanics. The deck maintains control over the battlefield using efficient single-target removal, targeted counterspells, and asymmetric sweepers such as Dusk // Dawn that spare low-power utility creatures. Protection pieces like Swiftfoot Boots, Plumecreed Escort, and Luminous Broodmoth keep the combat engine alive through removal. While the deck lacks fast infinite combos, it steadily depletes opposing life totals through compounding double-strike attacks, Yuriko burn, and incremental combat attrition.
