Yuriko functions on other Ninjutsu users and unblock-able creatures to stack up triggers for its ability to keep a full hand of cards, while also burning the opponents' life points down. There's an array of interaction cards to control the board to piece together a strong enough presence to kill the opponents by . Cards like Brainstorm, Lim-Dul's Vault, and Ponder help set up our deck to make sure Yuriko's ability gets some good hits from the high-costing cards in the deck, while Dimir Infiltrator and Muddle the Mixture can help search for two-cost cards like interaction cards or Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive and two-drop Ninjutsu users to fill the board. Given how Yuriko's main ability gives card advantage and beat-down, while also being able to avoid commander tax, it makes it a commander that's hard to permanently deal with - so control the board and strike when the time is right, and always have faith in the heart of the cards.
