Deck overview

This is an Esper Ninja-tribal tempo deck built around Splinter, Radical Rat, whose trigger-doubling ability makes every Ninja combat trigger fire twice. The plan is to land an early evasive threat - Ornithopter, Changeling Outcast, or Slither Blade - cast Splinter, then ninjutsu in a stream of Ninjas whose damage triggers compound into card advantage and table-wide life loss. The kill comes from repeated drain effects: Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow (a hidden commander in the 99) reveals high-mana cards for double life loss, and Shredder, Shadow Master attacks as copies for every opponent while his doubled half-life triggers take ~75% of each life total per swing. Roaming Throne acts as a second doubler, and Akroma's Will converts the swarm into a lethal double-strike turn. There are no infinite combos - the deck wins through a compounding Ninja combat clock.
