Shadow Extraction by D3V1L

Format: Commander

Commander: Splinter, Radical Rat

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Splinter, Radical Rat turns every Ninja combat trigger into two triggers, turning a normal ninjutsu shell into a high-speed card-advantage and drain engine. The deck leans on 0-1 mana evasive creatures to enable ninjutsu, with Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow acting as a hidden commander for drain, and Mist-Syndicate Naga as an exponential token engine. Secondary paths use Thousand-Faced Shadow clones, Nashi/Moon-Sage card play, and Roaming Throne to multiply triggers further. Cheap tutors and interaction protect the critical Splinter turn, while Tetsuko and Splinter's activated ability supply evasion to push combat damage through.
