Deck overview

This deck is a high-tempo Dimir Ninja Burn list led by Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow. It leverages cheap, unblockable 1-drop creatures to deploy Yuriko on Turn 2 via Commander ninjutsu, bypassing commander tax entirely. Once established, the deck uses cantrips, scrying, and topdeck tutors like Lim-Dûl's Vault and Brainstorm to manipulate the top of the library, revealing massive mana-value split and delve cards such as Temporal Trespass and Commit // Memory. These triggers deal devastating, symmetrical burn to all three opponents simultaneously while refilling the pilot's hand. Cheap counterspells and on-board disruption protect the attacking engine and disrupt opposing game plans, while extra turn spells close the window rapidly.
