Cycle Betrayal by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Monoblack Rat/Ninja attrition deck built around Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni. The primary plan is to put small evasive Rats and Ninjas into play, empty opponents' hands through discard, then ninjutsu into Ink-Eyes or other payoff Ninjas to steal creatures and accrue card advantage. Secondary path is a Spirit/Arcane drain package (Kokusho, Devouring Greed, Patron of the Nezumi) supported by heavy graveyard recursion. The commander acts as both a repeatable theft engine and a 5/4 threat; Marrow-Gnawer and Ashcoat of the Shadow Swarm form a hidden rat-lord overrun plan. The deck is resilient and interactive but slow and graveyard-dependent, so it trades early speed for incremental advantage.
