My take on a Yuriko deck. It's definitely not optimal you should add in way more one mana evasive creatures. The whole idea of the deck is me noticing that most unblockable creatures are also rogues and so built that as a sub theme. The prowl mechanic which tends to have high cmc but low prowl cost making easy activation of it so i can run Knowledge Exploitation and Notorious Throng with no challenge at all. There is a special kind of fun paying the full cost of Notorious Throng and getting 16 1/1 flyers and an extra turn to really close out that game. I might add some more prowl cards as it's really fun. Defiantly take this theme out if you want a less jank deck.

A lot of lists I see aren't running the criminally underrate cards of Throne of the God-Pharaoh and The Cauldron of Eternity. I feel that these cards work super nicely in Yuriko especially TotGP it acts as a mini yuriko damage trigger which if played early will put enough chip damage it will add up to a significant amount of damage over the course of a game but not warrant using a removal spell as it doesn't seem worth it. And if played later well you do have a bunch of evasive creature swinging in which adds more damage so win win. Firstly, Cauldron is a big hit off Yuriko but in addition, it helps you out as you are a creature base strat boardwipes are plentiful so being able to get your useful creatures back is quite valuable and the 12 cmc is most likely never going to be paid in full making it not such a dead card.

Also as you can see I am not running nearly as many 6< cmc spells I try to limit having the big cmc cards to only around 10 ish and each of them having a way to be cheated in cost so prowl, delve, or taking an extra turn imo is kinda of cheating the cost if you can cast it and have it resolve. I don't want as many dead cards in hand. It is always a feels bad.

I hope you enjoy this really dumb deck of mine trying to keeping it around 60-70% competitive seems like a fair place to be. If you have any ideas or suggesting go for it.
