Commander: Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Yuriko is the engine and primary finisher: she converts unblocked Ninja damage into a global life-loss swing based on the revealed card's mana value. The deck's main plan is to open with a one-mana unblockable evader, ninjutsu Yuriko in on turn two, and use Sensei's Divining Top, Scroll Rack, Lim-Dul's Vault, Scheming Symmetry, Brainstorm, or Ponder to stack high-mana-value cards for each reveal. Secondary paths include chaining extra Ninjas such as Fallen Shinobi, Silent-Blade Oni, and Ink-Eyes to generate card advantage and free spells, and using Temporal Mastery and Temporal Trespass for additional combats. Dense stack interaction and instant-speed removal let the deck protect the combat turn while draining all opponents.
