Deck overview

This deck is an Esper Ninja tempo midrange list commanded by Splinter, Radical Rat. The strategy revolves around landing cheap evasive creatures, deploying the commander on Turn 3, and exploiting Splinter's ability to double every Ninja triggered ability while granting unblockability. Through the Sneak mechanic, the deck casts impactful Ninja spells at a discount during the declare blockers step, returning cheap enablers to hand. Doubled triggers generate rapid card advantage via Oroku Saki, Shredder Rising, persistent reanimation through Karai, Future of the Foot, and permanent exile removal with Turncoat Kunoichi. The top end is anchored by Krang & Shredder, which exiles and casts opponents' nonland cards for free. A deep suite of efficient spot removal and countermagic keeps opponents off-balance, while token swarms and team-wide combat buffs from Leonardo, Leader in Blue close out the game over multiple combat cycles.
