Deck overview

This Orzhov deck is an aggressive Ninja tribal strategy with built-in combo potential led by Dark Leo & Shredder. The deck's primary plan is to deploy evasive low-cost Ninjas and token creators, establishing five or more Ninjas on the battlefield by Turn 5. Once assembled, Dark Leo & Shredder cuts defending players' life totals in half upon dealing combat damage, while attacking Ninjas gain deathtouch to bypass opposing blockers. The deck accelerates these kills with life-loss doublers like Bloodletter of Aclazotz and Wound Reflection, or by sweeping the entire table with Shredder, Shadow Master. For alternate routes to victory, the list incorporates the two-card infinite drain combo of Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond. Defensively, premier phasing spells like Teferi's Protection and Clever Concealment safeguard the creature board against mass removal, while efficient exile removal handles critical opposing threats.
