Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a Ninja-tribal tempo deck helmed by Dark Leo & Shredder, built around the Sneak mechanic and a half-life engine. The commander is a cheap 1/3 that grants deathtouch to attacking Ninjas, creates a 1/1 Ninja token on combat damage, and once you control five or more Ninjas, each hit costs the opponent half their life. The primary plan is to flood the board with Ninjas and tokens - via Endless Foot Assault, Kaya, Geist Hunter, Exalted Sunborn, and Delney, Streetwise Lookout - then convert those hits into a lethal end-step with Wound Reflection, Astarion, the Decadent, or Shredder, Shadow Master. The Sneak mechanic lets you return unblocked attackers to hand and re-deploy Ninjas tapped and attacking, keeping the pressure on. It is a fast, combat-focused deck that wins through repeated half-life triggers and doubled life loss.
