Deck overview

This Orzhov deck is an aggressive Ninja tempo strategy led by Dark Leo & Shredder. It uses cheap evasive creatures and Sneak mechanics to bypass blockers and establish early board presence. The primary plan deploys low-cost attackers like Changeling Outcast to enable combat triggers, deploying Dark Leo & Shredder on Turn 2 to start producing Ninja tokens on Turn 3. Once the battlefield reaches five Ninjas, commander combat damage cuts an opponent's life total in half. This lethal clock compounds aggressively with life-loss doublers like Wound Reflection, Warlock Class, and Astarion, the Decadent, or wide attacks from Shredder, Shadow Master. The deck supports its aggressive curve with efficient Orzhov removal, free protection spells like Flawless Maneuver, and repeatable draw engines such as Skullclamp and Folk Hero. It reliably threatens lethal damage by Turn 5 and closes the table around Turn 7.
