Commander: Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Yuriko deck wins by attacking with cheap unblockable creatures and using commander ninjutsu to put Yuriko into play tapped and attacking. Each ninja that deals combat damage triggers Yuriko to reveal the top card, draw it, and drain each opponent for its mana value. You manipulate the top of the library with tutors and Sensei's Divining Top to ensure high-value reveals like Shadow of Mortality and The Dawning Archaic. Secondary ninjas provide extra triggers, card draw, and Treasure, while a dense counter and removal suite protects the attack step. With no infinite combos, you win through repeated drain and evasive combat damage.
