(Yuffie) Ninjas by bgpednhn

Format: Commander

Commander: Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow is the single-faced commander and the deck's principal damage engine. Cheap unblockable attackers enable commander ninjutsu, letting Yuriko connect and flip high-mana-value cards to drain every opponent. Satoru Umezawa acts as a hidden commander: his granted ninjutsu cheats big creatures like Darksteel Colossus or Desolation Twin into play unblocked, and his trigger helps stack the top of the library. Emerge Eldrazi provide additional value and high CMC for Yuriko reveals. There is no deterministic infinite combo; the plan is to build up several Ninja combat triggers per turn until cumulative reveals cross 40 life per player, with Eldrazi Conscription or Summon: Primal Odin as alternative closers.
