Format: Commander

Commander: Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

A Yuriko tempo deck that wins by repeatedly ninjutsuing unblockable 1-drops into Yuriko, turning her combat-damage trigger into mass life loss and card draw. The primary plan is to stack high-mana-value cards with Brainstorm, Sensei's Divining Top, and Lim-Dul's Vault so each Ninja hit drains the whole table. Secondary paths use Fallen Shinobi, Nashi, and Ink-Eyes to steal or cast opposing cards, and Rags // Riches or Dispersal to swing board states. The commander is both the engine and the finisher; Sakashima sits in the 99 as a second copy.
