Gameplan

Early Game

This deck is running 14 1CMC evasive critters in order to consistently ninjutsu Yuriko on turn 2. Only ninjas with reasonable costs for their ninjutsus are included in this deck to keep the speed of this deck up. Cards like Arcane Adaptation , Conspiracy and Xenograft will turn your critters into ninjas for Yuriko.

Option 1: Burning with extra turns

You need a few ninjas in play, at least one extra turn spell and protection to back up your first spell. The goal is to put more ninjas into play each turn and use Yuriko triggers to burn down your enemies, draw into more extra turn spells and chain them for as long as you can. If you run out of extra turn spells, you will already be far ahead and one lucky Yuriko reveal will win you the game regardless.

Extra Turns:

• Karn's Temporal Sundering
• Temporal Manipulation
• Temporal Mastery
• Temporal Trespass
• Time Warp
• Walk the Aeons

Option 2: Scroll Rack / Brainstorm

Having access to Scroll Rack or Brainstorm allows you to hit your enemies with the same card twice. Tutor for a high CMC card and put it on top of your deck with at least 2 Yuriko triggers on the stack to reveal it and burn your enemies. Brainstorm / Scroll Rack it back on top of your deck before the second trigger resolves to hit everyone a second time.

Instant Speed:

• 32 Damage = Vampiric Tutor > Draco (2 Mana)
• 22 Damage = Mystical Tutor > Temporal Trespass (2 Mana)

Sorcery Speed:

• 32 Damage = Cruel Tutor > Draco (4 Mana)
• 32 Damage = Scheming Symmetry > Draco (2 Mana)
• 22 Damage = Personal Tutor > Temporal Trespass (2 Mana)

3 Triggers

• 43 Damage = Vampiric Tutor > Insidious Dreams > Draco + Temporal Trespass (6 Mana)

Option 3: Insidious Dreams

Cast Insidious Dreams with as many cards in hand as Yuriko triggers. Tutor for your highest leftover CMC cards to hit it with Yuriko.

4 Triggers:

• 40+ Damage = 4 Random cards with CMC 40+
• 16 CMC = Draco
• 11 CMC = Temporal Trespass
• 10 CMC = Commit / Memory
• 08 CMC = Dig Through Time

3 Triggers:

• 37 Damage = Draco + Temporal Trespass + Commit / Memory
• 35 Damage = Draco + Temporal Trespass + Dig Through Time
• 34 Damage = Draco + Dig Through Time + Commit / Memory
• 33 Damage = Draco + Brainstorm + Draco
• 29 Damage = Temporal Trespass + Commit / Memory + Dig Through Time

Example with Brainstorm:

You need Brainstorm , Insidious Dreams and 3 Triggers.

• 43 Damage = Draco + Temporal Trespass + Brainstorm + Draco
