Feb 22, 2022 · Usually if you side Yuriko with a gimmick like Rogue & Ninja tribal, artifact affinity, or so on she gets much lower in power while still maintaining her identity. Also cutting all top-deck tutors like [[Vampiric Tutor]] & [[Insidious Dreams]] really prevents her from offing the table before the game get's going.

Jun 18, 2024 · I personally love ninja Commander decks in Magic due to how unique and powerful each one can be. No two ninja commanders are alike, and it means that each deck can be interesting to play both as the pilot and against it. They're also almost always combat-focused as well, meaning that interaction is plentiful.

Satoru the Infiltrator is the newest ninja and I honestly think he’s a good compromise. You still have a ninja in the command zone and it synergies with the ninjutsu ability, but you don’t have an extremely broken commander. The one caveat is that he doesn’t give evasion like you request in …

You'd only be able to loop Drake with a Ninja with 1 cost Ninjutsu. It wouldn't even net you mana just infinite ETBs. If you have Cabal Coffers or some other multiple land manas sure but then you're talking 4+ cards. Just wasn't worth that much work for a combat only infinite mana loop.

Feb 20, 2022 · There are some good deck that may utilize ninjas, but no ninja tribal is good - doesn’t have elements which made Rogues deck in the past great: cheap flash, cheap counters and removals, cheap card draw.

Jun 25, 2022 · I play [[Tatsunari, Toad Rider]] as my ninja tribal commander. It let's me put some green in from Kamigawa like [[Springleaf Avenger]] I hardly summon Tats, and basically play super aggro unblockable ninjas. I know he works better as an enchantment deck, but he was in Sultai and was a ninja!

Jan 27, 2022 · There aren't a whole lot of ninja decks running around, though. This card would probably be good in a Ninja deck, but there probably aren't a whole lot of Ninjas you'd even want to be playing anyway, so the bar isn't super high. I'd love to see this card get played though, but it doubt it'll be in anything but spicy ninja brews.

May 12, 2022 · When deck building you want to go with 3 or 4 copies of cards as much as possible to make your deck more consistent. I made an example budget ninja deck. This is where I would start personally. I like strix and ornithopter as my ninjitsu bounce targets. Yuriko and Kaito are win conditions.

May 28, 2023 · Sorry for replying late to this thread, but I also play a ninja-based deck. I add four copies of Okiba Reckoner Raid just as a counter for mono-red aggro decks. The enchantment does 1 point of lifesteal for two turns and flips to a 2/2 with menace, which is convenient for enabling ninjutsus for your midgame ninjas.

Jan 2, 2022 · Decklist: I know that the vast majority of people are using Satoru as a Dimir Kaalia, but I was really excited to have a Ninja Commander who wasn't Yuriko. My goal is to play evasive creatures like Baleful Strix and Atris ; who I can then bounce with Ninjutsu to get repeatable ETB value at the same time as cheating creatures.
