Time to abuse Yuriko's ability!!

How the Deck Works

Draco or Emrakul, the Promised End and Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow's ability = Lots of loss of life for opponents.

Examples:

** Insidious Dreams Setup -

(Pre-requisite for this line, have 2 creatures to swing that will go unblocked on your turn, one of which is a Ninja, and 4 cards in hand when you cast Insidious Dreams)

Insidious Dreams at end of opponent's turn, discard 3 cards, get 3 creatures and put them on top of your deck in this order: Top: Higure, the Still Wind (doesn't really matter what the top card is, it will be going into your hand), Middle: Draco, Last: Emrakul, the Promised End

Draw Higure, the Steel Wind on Drawstep, Swing with unblocked creature, Ninjitsu Yuriko in and pop non-Ninja back to hand, hit with Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow and the other Ninja, everyone loses 29 life.

---

** Haunted Crossroads Setup -

(**Pre-requisite for this line - Have a good-sized CMC creature in graveyard and an unblockable creature without summoning sickness on battlefield)

Pay to put fattie on top of your library (after your draw step, obviously), Swing with unblocked creature, Ninjitsu Yuriko in and pop non-Ninja back to hand, hit with Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow and people lose life equal to that creature card's CMC.

---

** Vampiric Tutor Setup -

(**Pre-requisite for this line - Have an unblockable creature without summoning sickness on battlefield)

After drawstep, Tutor Draco to top of library, swing with unblocked creature, Ninjitsu Yuriko in and pop non-Ninja back to hand, hit with Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow and people lose 16 life.

Other Combos

Vela the Night-Clad and Rite of Replication kicked = 30 loss of life for all opponents

Dauthi Embrace and Dauthi Cutthroat = give opponent's creatures Shadow and destroy them

Other Thoughts:

If you inadvertently draw Draco or Emrakul, or just used them in a combo, use See Beyond to shuffle one of them back in your deck.

Wharf Infiltrator or Key to the City to discard Draco or Emrakul and get them back on your deck with Haunted Crossroads

Prefer Samurai?
