Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck aims to take advantage of alternate casting costs and cost reduction spells to stack the top of the deck and hit hard with Yuriko's ability. My theory is you don't need too many ninjas if you are hitting each opponent with an extra 8 each time Yuriko connects. In order to make sure she does, I prioritized cheap, evasive creatures who can avoid blocks. I looked for as many instant speed top deck manipulating effects to take advantage of hitting with multiple ninjas. I also went heavy on spot removal to ensure Yuriko has few blockers. After a few play tests I will evaluate if I need ways to bounce Yuriko for more ninjutsu shenanigans.\n"}]}
