Deck overview

This Dimir deck utilizes Satoru Umezawa to grant every creature in hand ninjutsu for four mana. The game plan relies on deploying cheap, unblockable creatures on early turns, casting the commander on Turn 3, and cheating devastating high-cost threats into play tapped and attacking on Turn 4. Payoffs such as Archon of Cruelty, Fallen Shinobi, and Silent-Blade Oni dismantle opposing hands and libraries while dealing heavy combat damage. A secondary control package featuring Opposition Agent, Dauthi Voidwalker, Grave Pact, and Sheoldred, Whispering One keeps opposing boards clear and steals resources with Tergrid, God of Fright. The deck does not use infinite combos, instead grinding down the table through repeated combat swings, reanimation, and stolen spells.
