Ghost of Tsushima by RinLoch

Format: Commander

Commander: Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a combat-damage trigger deck helmed by Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima, built to generate overwhelming card advantage and life loss through evasive attackers. The primary plan is to deploy Jin or another lone attacker, use his ability to grant unblockable or double strike, and then chain value from ninjas, triggers like Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow and Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar, and life-loss multipliers such as Wound Reflection. The deck wins via incremental combat damage, a massive Exsanguinate, or a combined life-loss kill with Unstoppable Slasher or Shredder, Shadow Master plus an extra turn from Temporal Trespass. It plays a midrange tempo game, using recursion and a moderate interaction suite to protect its board.
