Why does cEDH Yuriko the Tiger's Shadow play these cards? Yuriko cEDH Ninja Commander Deck Tech

[@pabloezequielsevald2685]

I´m building a budget yuriko deck and im glad im going the right direction without knowing lol

[@CombatStep]

Nice

[@BisyBackson365]

Algorithm!! I enjoy these deck discussions.

[@CombatStep]

Thanks

[@velhinho_91]

I like to use arcane adaptation in it, while a bit slow for cEDH, if unanswered, you get a few extra triggers. One of the cheapest "all my creatures are Ninjas now" enchantments i found playable.

[@CombatStep]

The mana cost and pay off is way too slow for Arcane Adaptation. You also do not really need it either.

[@rhysjonsmusic]

Still learning commander but Roaming Throne has became synonymous with Yuriko deck. Suddenly 3 Yuriko triggers became six and im getting alot of advantage and dmg.

[@CombatStep]

That’s decent for sure 4 mana is at the top of the curve for Yuriko in cEDH

[@akinmejia7782]

exquisite blood works rlly well with Yuriko if im not missing anything

[@CombatStep]

It’s way too slow for cEDH

[@ikehirasawa2764]

yuriko have a bad turn 1 and 2, to stop the combo players i put too many interactions posible, "archive trap", "subtlety" , "contagion", "force of despair", "leyline of the void" I want to have too many responses to solve that problem on this deck

[@CombatStep]

Indeed

[@rayodios5826]

Nanogene conversion from the doctor who decks has become an autoinclude. Essentially a one card combo, easily yields 9-25 yuriko triggers

[@CombatStep]

I will have to look into that

[@filipoviccivopilif9492]

isn´t ninjutsu an activated Ability? So cursed totem would shut it down, or am i´m missing something?

[@CombatStep]

It is activated but totem does not stop it as they are only creatures on the battle field. See 109.2

[@1weavel604]

@@CombatStep ddoes yuriko also still trigger throiugh cursed totem? Like 1. if yuriko is on the field and just straight up hits someone and 2. yuriko ninjustsu on the field to hit

[@blaaaarrrrgMTG]

​@1weavel604 Ninjustu is activated from hand (or for Yuriko it is activated from hand or the command zone), at which point the card is not a creature on the battlefield yet and is not affected by totem. Yuriko's flip trigger is a triggered ability, not an activated ability, so again the totem has no effect.

[@timtamtomtan]

you said you can ping the table by ninjitsuing sakashima's student on top of an orcish bowmasters.... how?

[@CombatStep]

You need someone else to have a Dockside

[@Hanuman2a]

i have no idea why no cEDH Yuriko deck don't have "Insidious Dreams"...i won a lot of games with this one

[@CombatStep]

While it can be powerful the mana cost isn’t worth it generally

[@Omnifarious42]

The burn damage is a nice extra and should not be a focus in optimized decks because it makes the deck way too slow.
