Deck overview

This is a Dimir ninjutsu tempo deck helmed by Satoru Umezawa that cheats enormous creatures into play by attacking with cheap unblockable bodies. Satoru grants every creature card in hand ninjutsu {2}{U}{B} and digs three cards deep whenever you activate ninjutsu, turning a swarm of 1-drop rogues into a delivery system for Eldrazi, Demons, and value Ninjas. The primary win condition is combat: annihilator swings from Pathrazer of Ulamog and Ulamog's Crusher, backed by drain from Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow and theft/value hits from Fallen Shinobi, Silent-Blade Oni, and Mindleech Mass. Secondary pressure comes from one-sided board resets (Whelming Wave, Toxic Deluge) and ETB removal monsters ninjutsu'd for a fraction of their cost. The deck plays as a glass-cannon midrange strategy-light on traditional ramp and recursion, heavy on evasion and stack interaction-to close multiplayer games through repeated unblocked combat.
