Ninjas by BH2U

Format: Commander

Commander: Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a tempo-control Yuriko deck that wins by repeatedly connecting with Ninjas in combat while flipping high-mana-value cards off the top to drain the entire table. Yuriko is both the engine and the finisher: commander ninjutsu lets her enter tapped and attacking for {U}{B} without paying commander tax. Secondary paths are a reanimator package for Jin-Gitaxias and value creatures, plus a cheat-into-play plan through Satoru Umezawa for Blightsteel Colossus. Kaito planeswalkers add card advantage and Ninja tokens. The deck leans on cheap unblockable creatures, top-deck manipulation, and efficient interaction. No double-faced commander is present; Satoru is an enabler rather than a hidden commander.
