I’ve wanted to make a mill deck for a while but I wanted to diversify it away from just a straight mill because I like my friends and I want to survive multiplayer games. I chose Yuriko because I think she has one of the sweetest abilities for dimir. It also gives this deck fun playability with ninjutsu effects along with the threat of mill. Ideally what Im trying to achieve is a large hand, ninja triggers, and milling, with a sub theme of stealing opponents creatures from their graveyards.

At the moment I’m having difficulty deciding which creatures to cut/replace in order to add some spot removal and control. Tips and comments appreciated!
