Deck overview

This is a Dimir ninjutsu/cheat-threats deck built around Satoru Umezawa, who turns every creature card in hand into a ninjutsu enabler. The core loop is simple: get a cheap unblockable creature into the red zone, then during the declare blockers step swap it for a bomb like Blightsteel Colossus, Galactus, Devourer of Worlds, or Sepulchral Primordial - it enters tapped and attacking and cannot be blocked that combat. Satoru's top-three filter keeps the chain fed, while Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, the four Kaito planeswalkers, and native ninjas like Fallen Shinobi and Silent-Blade Oni convert combat damage into cards, mana, stolen spells, and table-wide burn. The primary finishes are a one-shot infect kill with Blightsteel Colossus and repeated Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow triggers on high-mana reveals; Shredder, Shadow Master provides a way to attack every opponent at once. This is a fast, commander-centric tempo/cheat deck with a strong theft subtheme.
