Deck overview

This deck is a tempo-centric Dimir Ninja build piloted by Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow. The primary plan leverages cheap, evasive creatures to enable ninjutsu, using Yuriko's combat-damage triggers to dump high-mana-value cards (Temporal Trespass, Peer into the Abyss, Alrund's Epiphany) into hand while burning each opponent for that mana value. The deck piles in extra-turn spells to chain multiple combats, letting a few ninja hits with big reveals close out the table. Secondary pathways include incremental chip damage from repeatable ninja clones (Mist-Syndicate Naga) and the alternate win condition of Thassa's Oracle if the library runs thin. The deck operates at a low curve, but its speed and reach are throttled by the need to find its highest-CMC cards to turn life loss from chip into lethal.
