Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir tempo and creature-cheat list piloted by Satoru Umezawa. The main game plan curves an evasive 0- or 1-drop creature on the early turns, deploys Satoru on Turn 3, and uses his granted ninjutsu ability on Turn 4 to put an overwhelming threat onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Cheating out bombs like Archon of Cruelty, Crabomination, and Armaggon, Future Shark provides immediate enters-the-battlefield value, strips opposing boards, and triggers Satoru's ability to dig for additional fuel. Backed by cheap countermagic and functional redundancy, the deck maintains steady pressure while recovering smoothly through alternate ninjutsu and warp threats if Satoru is removed.
