Deck overview

This deck is an Esper combat-centric strategy commanded by Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima. It leverages solitary combat triggers to grant attacking creatures either unblockability or double strike, generating steady card advantage upon connecting with opponents. The early game focuses on deploying low-cost evasive threats and utility artifacts before casting Jin Sakai on Turn 4. From there, the deck stacks combat damage triggers using powerful Equipment like Blackblade Reforged and potent Ninjas such as Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, Fallen Shinobi, and Silent-Blade Oni. Protective equipment and countermagic defend key threats while interactive saboteurs disrupt opposing boards. Winning requires focused combat pressure to eliminate opponents one by one through commander damage and unblockable assault lines.
