Who's that waiting in plain sight ready to strike? Yuriko!

Who's that plotting away? Yuriko!

Who's going to be hit by the blatant ninja of blue and black (not orange!)? Your opponents!

This deck functions by swinging in with small and cheap creatures (preferably evasive) then exchanging them with Yuriko. You can then sacrifice or bounce her to repeat the process as her ability does not count towards commander tax. Good payoffs for her draw ability are delve cards like Temporal Trespass and aftermath cards like Consign / Oblivion. The CMC of aftermath cards are the total CMC of both halfs, so these deal massive damage with Yuriko's ability with also being able to be cast fairly easily.

It also has the Thassa's Oracle and Demonic Consultation line as a different win condition.

Currently the deck is building towards competitive, but not truly there yet as the best cards are expensive.
