Ninjas

A Dimir (blue-black) Ninja tempo/aggro-combo Commander deck built around Yuriko, the Tiger’s Shadow. Its main plan is to deploy cheap, evasive creatures like Changeling Outcast, Slither Blade, Tormented Soul, and Ornithopter/Gingerbrute, then ninjutsu in value threats to repeatedly trigger Yuriko and other Ninjas.

The deck wins by snowballing card advantage and draining the table through Yuriko’s combat-damage triggers, while stacking high mana value cards like Temporal Trespass, Dig Through Time, Treasure Cruise, and Commit // Memory on top of the library to hit opponents for big chunks. It supports this with strong topdeck manipulation from Sensei’s Divining Top, Scroll Rack, Brainstorm, Ponder, and tutors.

Key synergies include Ingenious Infiltrator and Moon-Circuit Hacker/Ninja of the Deep Hours for extra cards, Silver-Fur Master and Prosperous Thief for tribal payoff and mana, and disruptive Ninjas like **Fallen Shinobi, Throat Slitter, Dokuchi Silencer
