Yuriko

Yuriko is a Dimir (blue-black) Ninja tempo/aggro Commander deck built around sneaking in cheap evasive creatures and using ninjutsu to repeatedly trigger Yuriko, the Tiger’s Shadow.

The deck’s main plan is to attack with unblockable or hard-to-block creatures like Slither Blade, Mist-Cloaked Herald, Invisible Stalker, Ornithopter, and Tetsuko Umezawa, then swap them into Ninjas such as Yuriko, Fallen Shinobi, Ninja of the Deep Hours, and Moon-Circuit Hacker. Yuriko rewards this by revealing cards from the top of your library to drain all opponents while drawing cards, so the deck uses Brainstorm, Ponder, Serum Visions, Index, Contingency Plan, and similar effects to stack high-cost spells like Commandeer, Commit // Memory, and Dig Through Time for big damage.

Key synergies include extra Ninja payoffs like Ingenious Infiltrator, Prosperous Thief, Silver-Fur Master, and Satoru Umezawa, plus bounce/protection tools to
