Cedh yuriko by Mrmontgomery

Format: Commander

Commander: Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This dimir build runs two interlocking games at once. The first is the namesake ninjutsu tempo plan: a swarm of 0-1 mana evasive creatures - Changeling Outcast, Faerie Seer, Ornithopter, Memnite, Hope of Ghirapur - lets Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow enter tapped and attacking as early as turn 2. Her trigger flips Draco, Shadow of Mortality, and Temporal Trespass for 16, 15, and 11 life from each opponent while drawing the flipped card into hand. The second, and primary, axis is the Thassa's Oracle package: Demonic Consultation, Tainted Pact, and Doomsday empty the library behind a wall of premium counterspells and free interaction. A 2.69 average curve, deep tutor/cantrip suite, Rhystic Study/Mystic Remora draw, and asymmetric hate in Opposition Agent, Dauthi Voidwalker, and Cursed Totem let the deck dictate pace, with chained extra turns turning Yuriko flips into a legitimate backup win.
