Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov combat-centric aggro strategy led by Dark Leo & Shredder. The game plan revolves around playing inexpensive Ninjas and changeling creatures early, enabling seamless attacks that sneak past blockers with fear, flying, or unblockable effects. Once the board reaches five Ninjas, the commander's combat damage trigger halves the defending player's life total, rapidly dismantling high life totals. Supporting cards grant double strike to trigger this effect twice in a single combat step, reducing an opponent from 40 life straight to 10. While the deck boasts high single-target burst potential and efficient Orzhov removal, it remains vulnerable to creature sweepers and must divide its combat steps across multiple turns to eliminate three separate opponents in multiplayer play.
