Satoru’s Ninjas(bulk build)

Format: Commander

Commander: Satoru Umezawa

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Satoru Umezawa turns every creature card in hand into a ninjutsu threat, letting the deck trade a cheap unblockable attacker for an Eldrazi or Phyrexian that enters tapped and attacking. The primary plan is to deploy Satoru early, connect with an unblockable 1/1, and ninjutsu in high-mana threats such as Blightsteel Colossus or Pathrazer of Ulamog. Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow is a hidden commander in the 99, converting Ninja combat damage into mass life loss and card draw. Secondary paths include Kaito Shizuki card advantage, Rogue Class exile-casting, and a Hullbreaker Horror + Sol Ring mana engine. The deck is heavily dependent on Satoru; without him, most big creatures have no early way to attack.
