Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Yuriko's commander ninjutsu is the primary engine: a turn-2 ninjutsu from the command zone starts a clock of drawing one card and draining each opponent for that card's mana value. The 99 is built around making those reveals huge, using Brainstorm, Sensei's Divining Top, Scheming Symmetry, Lim-Dul's Vault, and Insidious Dreams to put cards like Draco, Scion of Draco, Shadow of Mortality, and Blinkmoth Infusion on top. Secondary lines use extra-turn spells and additional Ninjas to multiply triggers, while a counterspell-heavy shell protects the key attack. There is no hidden commander; Brinelin's partner text is irrelevant from the 99.
