Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov combat-tempo build centered on Ninja tribal synergies and the Sneak mechanic. The primary game plan utilizes cheap, evasive early creatures such as Dream Beavers and Featherbrained Filcher to establish unblocked attacks. During the declare blockers step, the deck cheats larger threats into play via Sneak, deploying engines like Dark Leo & Shredder, Karai, Future of the Foot, and Oroku Saki, Shredder Rising. The commander, Abigale, Eloquent First-Year, provides early evasion and removes problematic abilities from opposing creatures while distributing combat keyword counters. Removal is dense and flexible, combining instant-speed spells with ETB creature exile effects. The deck closes games through wide combat swings, life-halving triggers, and anthem-like stat boosts, aiming to eliminate opponents across successive combat steps by Turn 10.
