Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a dedicated Ninja tempo and burn strategy led by Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow. The primary game plan revolves around deploying cheap, evasive creatures on turn one to activate Yuriko's commander ninjutsu on turn two. Each time Yuriko or another Ninja deals combat damage to an opponent, Yuriko reveals the top card of the library, draws it, and burns all opponents for life equal to its mana value. The deck wins by repeatedly triggering Yuriko alongside an army of Ninjas, manipulating the top of the library with spells like Brainstorm and Ponder to reveal high-cost spells, and disrupting opposing game plans with efficient bounce, removal, and countermagic.
