It would be super awesome if you dropped a video with some updates to this given the huge surge of ninjas that just got spoiled for Modern Horizons!

[@khariperkins4243]

It would be but there are so many cards that come out and so many legendaries. Despite some tech is similar, there are changes to some decks. I think he might during a dry period but it's pretty wet right now.

[@psinjo]

I was about to say the same thing, i'm trying to make a deck with new ninjas and would love to hear thoughts here.

[@DrBlack-ve1px]

yes! need an update!!!

Oh man this better get a $100 video Great stuff as always!

[@dragonhawk00]

I agree cause I love my deck already. Seeing how other people build it is awesome

[@davidjones7606]

@@dragonhawk00 The $100 upgrade is going to be those six cards for $27 plus Sensei's Divining Top for $27. That will leave about $21 for a couple more upgrades (less if the commander cost is included in the $100).

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Maybe in the future! Thanks!

[@foerender1624]

The top is great , but if you have to choose scroll wrack is way better allowing you to use a high cost spell over and over again with Yuriko .

I’m in the process of building a deck around this commander right now. Thank you for the help!

[@Diveji]

I really like how you now show in reasonable upgrades, what would you swap for those cards. I'd like to see more decks which aren't commander cost excluded. Your content is amazing

[@rudymartin8583]

I'm glad you put in suggestions for cards to take out in the reasonable upgrades section, it makes deckbuilding easier to reason through

[@vincentforest4343]

Finally! Been waiting for a budget Yuriko for so long, glad you made it 😀 thanks Mitch

[@WalkthroughHorde]

Underrated channel. Nice editing, funny captions in the top right, interaction in the comments, and great decks. Bought your Atraxa one recently, and my friend bought your Arixmithes. Both have done SUPER well in our play group, and I know mine is a blast to play. This one looks the same. Might be buying in the near future...

[@Tyran559]

Hey Mitch, i really like this one! In quite a few of your previous decks i've had the feeling they lacked removal/disruptive spells and focused too much on their own strategy without being able to counter any opponent's plans. But here you compensate this hugely by adding the split cards wich are nice removals on their own next to being high cmc spells... great job 😄

[@Brewlamar]

Oh no! My budget can’t take this steady stream of awesome and interesting commander decks. I already wanted to build a ninja commander deck and now you just released a video on it. Haha

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Haha my bad!

[@lukenzur1667]

i love these videos - you are quick, straight to the point and love the titles for each section of cards and dude.

[@Yous0147]

Thanks for this! I remember specifically asking you about this specific commander, awesome that you tackled it

[@dac314]

Just wanna say thanks for the great video, I've been building a Yuriko deck and seeing a lot of the oddball picks I was considering come up in your list was reassuring, and very amusing.

[@daedalin2281]

The two best cards in my Yuriko deck (besides Xenograft etc.) have been Diabolic VIsion and Cavern Harpy, both coming in at UB. VIsion lets you dig five cards deep, netting you one and rearranging the other four. The Harpy bounces a ninja when she ETBs, flies to enable ninjutsu, and can bounce herself for the low cost of one life to dodge removal. Both can be gotten on the cheap, too!

[@xskyzel]

Nice video! I have an Yuriko deck, and I spent a lot of time doing my homework on this deck! This deck version it's slower than the kind of meta I've wanted, but it still would be amazing to play with! Yuriko is OPPRESSIVE, I love it!

[@EdgyDrawsYT]

Ah. It’s time! I’ve been waiting for a budget Yuriko!!! I hope this gets a break the bank too!!

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

You might see one at some point!

[@DanielRiveroPadilla]

Awesome video as usual, is very nice that you also explain why we can take out some of the cards, I'm still learning how to judge cards properly.

[@rekdaahtelambar4420]

Great video, and an interesting deck as always. I prefer how you did the reasonable upgrades in this video. I don't know if this is the first video you've done it, but it's much better way of explaining the upgrades than in your older videos. Sorry, if it means more work editing, but it is a lot better.

[@sherperd254]

Dude you posted this while I’m planning my yuriko commander deck thanks

[@thet00nl1nk3]

Love the format with the upgrades at the end!

[@alucard64x]

I really needed this deck tech. Been trying to make a ninja or samurai deck to commemorate the years i spent in Japan. This helps a lot.

[@RylanBones1]

[@jbs6614]

thank you for this :) i've since moved from this version and now the deck is running at the $1,000 mark. great to remember the first few months playing this at the budget level as every flip is breathtaking (for the rest of the table) haha

[@peasnaps2146]

This is a deck I’ve been looking at for a while! So glad you made a cheap set. I’d love to see budget/upgrade of Feldon of The Third path cuz I love me my mono-colored decks.

[@PhillipReed77]

I love my yuriko deck. It was very budget when I built it shortly after C18 came out. I've slowly upgraded it over time. Sinsei's diving top was the card that has made the hugest difference. I hope you do a $100 deck of this one.

[@arthatis]

I splashed rogues with mine and love it. Notion Thief is amazing, Quietus Spike on an Invisible Stalker is salt inducing, Blood Clock bounces your ninjas and keeps your opponents boards constantly rebuilding, and Crawlspace is perfectly on-theme. It was the first budget EDH deck I made and possibly my favorite.

[@taylorlarson593]

This is very well done. You must have searched hard for this much budget synergy. It's also quite powerful and perfect for most playgroups

I’ve waited to build a commander deck until I found one I really liked, and I think the idea of this deck is incredible. I’d love to see a break the bank for this

[@PhazonOmega]

I came here because I saw you on Tolarian Community College doing a $25 tech, and then today realized I need to just finish the decks I want to finish. I don't have the money, though. So, what if that guy from TCC had $25 deck tech on Yuriko, and-- well, he has Yuriko! Maybe he has one for Varolz and Eight-and-A-Half Tails, too? Doesn't matter! Long story short, you have a new dude on the internet keeping an eye on your content. Thanks for all you do! ^_^

[@soundsliketough8294]

I watched this when deciding what to build for my first MTG deck. Years later and Yuriko is now my best and most expensive deck, capping between 750-800$ depending on how the market is feeling. Can’t wait for Neon Dynasty, man. MO’ NINJAS, MO POWER!!

[@shanehelm2482]

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

I definitely don't do that...or do I?

[@2dendre]

Saw the decklist via patreon... watching the video did add some perspective. (and now I want to build this deck)

[@TheTrueLeafless]

3 cards I would recommend: Quickling and Faerie Impostor because they can bounce our Ninjas back making it easier for them to get through a second time (and then reuse them in turn) Dowsing Dagger is in this deck where we run a lot of cheap unblockables an easy to get out Gilded Lotus in land form (not to forget that you can attack with it on turn 3 (or in rare cases earlier)

[@manle011]

Another great card to add to this is Insidious Dreams. It lets you discard X cards and tutor X cards to the top of your library at instant speed. You rush in with 3 or 4 unblocked ninjas, you can cast this and instantly win the game.

[@manle011]

It’s a bit pricey at $6.00 but it’s totally worth it in my opinion.

[@thewrongperson676]

[@hasangahbiche16]

would love to see an update on Yuriko with new ninjas available now because of Modern Horizons

[@Crockist]

I've never taken a close look at Yuriko's ability past her broken Commander Ninjutsu, as she's kind of like a Cerebral Eruption you can hit everyone with using your own deck. I think it's very clever to run cycle, delve, fuse, and aftermath cards as a way to help your ability shine. You do a lot of neat things with this deck that I'd love to see in practice.

[@RedStriker212]

Recently built this deck. If you want to go a bit further, run most of your unlockable creatures as Rogues for extra synergy. Right now the deck list I have is around $97, although there were cards on this list that weren't on mine.

[@AVAL2775]

explore is a great ability as it lets you fix the top of your deck as well as letting you put any lands you happen across into your hand hopefully to put a creature on top also cards like ponder and dream cache are probably some of the best cards and even though you usually dont wanna ponder on your turn, yuriko decks are the exception to that rule

[@AVAL2775]

again one fo the most importent things is that this deck benefits you using brainstorm and portent on your turn

[@TheMovingGrass]

I just pulled an Etrata, the Silencer out of a pack a couple days ago and I think she could make a decent addition to this deck or as a commander in a ninja deck. She's unblockable and then after you hit with her and trigger her ability you can return her to your hand with nijitsu before she shuffles back into your library.
