Deck overview

This is a Shadow tribal tempo deck helmed by Lyna, Veil of Vengeance, built around the fundamental truth that shadow creatures are unblockable by everything except other shadow creatures. The plan is to deploy a wide board of evasive Soltari, Dauthi, and Thalakos attackers, connect every turn, and convert those hits into a massive card-advantage engine via Lyna plus a dense stack of combat-damage draw (Coastal Piracy, Reconnaissance Mission, Bident of Thassa, Curiosity, Mask of Memory). That draw snowballs into either a Twenty-Toed Toad alternate win (20 cards in hand) or a Hatred-fueled one-shot on a scaled Dauthi Warlord. Ninjutsu creatures (Fallen Shinobi, Ingenious Infiltrator, Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni) bounce the unblocked attackers for extra value, while Delney, Streetwise Lookout doubles the triggers of the many power-2-or-less shadow creatures.
