Overview:
A high-powered Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow ninja tribal deck that aims to deal massive damage through revealing high mana value cards while maintaining card advantage through combat damage triggers.
Primer:
The deck's primary strategy revolves around getting Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow onto the battlefield early using unblockable creatures and her Commander ninjutsu ability. Once established, the deck uses a combination of evasive creatures and ninjas to consistently trigger Yuriko's ability, revealing high mana value cards to deal significant damage to all opponents while maintaining card advantage.
The secondary strategy involves using efficient card selection tools like Scroll Rack, Sensei's Divining Top, and Brainstorm to manipulate the top of the library, ensuring maximum damage output from Yuriko's triggers. The deck includes several high mana value spells that can be cast for alternate costs, such as Shadow of Mortality and delve spells like Dig Through Time, making them excellent reveals for Yuriko's ability while still being castable.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on combat damage to function, making it vulnerable to effects that prevent attacks or remove creatures. Graveyard hate can shut down delve spells and recursion elements. The deck can struggle if Yuriko is repeatedly removed, as commander tax can become prohibitive despite the ninjutsu ability. The relatively low land count could lead to consistency issues in longer games.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 7/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 8/10
- Interaction: 7/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits in the focused competitive range due to its ability to establish a strong board presence and deal significant damage by turns 5-6. While it includes powerful fast mana and efficient interaction, it doesn't quite reach the consistency or speed of higher-powered decks that can win or lock out the game by turn 3-4. The deck's reliance on combat damage and vulnerability to certain forms of interaction keeps it from reaching true cEDH levels, but it's definitely stronger than typical optimized casual builds that win around turns 6-7.
Final power level rating: 7.0 - 7.5
