Yuri by LexEl452

Format: Commander

Commander: Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Yuriko is the deck's engine and finisher: cheap evasive creatures are returned to hand by ninjutsu so she can deal damage without being blocked, and her triggered ability drains every opponent based on the revealed card's mana value. The deck manipulates the top of the library with cantrips, Top, Scroll Rack, and tutors to flip expensive cards into massive life loss. Satoru Umezawa is the hidden commander, turning every creature into a potential ninjutsu attacker and letting the deck cheat in big bodies. Secondary paths include extra turns and Satoru-assisted attacks with Darksteel Colossus.
