Commander: Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a tempo-focused Yuriko deck that uses unblockable creatures and repeated ninjutsu to trigger Yuriko's drain repeatedly. The primary plan is incremental combat plus high-mana-value reveals, with Doomsday and Time Warp acting as a burst finisher. Secondary paths include Zareth San's theft/reanimation and Syr Konrad's graveyard drain. The commander is both engine and finisher, and the deck is built around the ninjutsu face of Yuriko, not any alternate face. Interaction is centered on counterspells and instant-speed removal to keep Yuriko alive and clear blockers, while cheap selection spells keep the top of the library full of high-cost payoff cards.
