Umezawa Ninjas

Umezawa Ninjas is a Dimir (blue-black) Ninja tribal tempo/midrange Commander deck built around Satoru Umezawa and evasive cheap creatures. Its main plan is to attack with unblockable or hard-to-block creatures, then use ninjutsu to swap in Ninjas for value and combat triggers.

Key synergies include:

• Satoru Umezawa giving all creatures ninjutsu, letting the deck cheat big threats like Silent-Blade Oni, Ink-Eyes, and Fallen Shinobi into play.
• A strong package of evasive enablers like Changeling Outcast, Faerie Seer, Network Disruptor, and Thousand-Faced Shadow.
• Ninja payoff engines such as Ingenious Infiltrator, Yuriko, the Tiger’s Shadow, Bident of Thassa, and Reconnaissance Mission to draw lots of cards off repeated hits.
• Tempo and removal spells to keep opponents off balance while the Ninjas keep connecting.

It usually wins by snowballing card advantage through repeated Ninja triggers, pressuring life totals with evasive combat
