Ninja tribal with Yuriko.

This is a extremely fun deck to play. Yuriko brings a new and unique mindset to Dimir and comes out of the gates incredibly fast: Play evasive creatures, ninjutsu Yuriko into play and use your library manipulation to deal high amounts of damage to your opponents.

The fact that Yuriko brings card advantage on such a low costing card gives us the opportunity to be extremely greedy with our card choices. We have a deck with a tight average CMC and manabase to lower the risk of hitting lands with Yuriko's trigger. We also run cheap and efficient answers to deal with most situations.

There are some seemingly expensive cards in this deck, but most, if not all, have alternative casting costs. This allows us to cast them with our low land count, while triggering the full damage with Yuriko when needed.
