Sakashima the Impostor

Legendary Creature — Human Rogue

You may have Sakashima the Impostor enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield, except its name is still Sakashima the Impostor, it's legendary in addition to its other types, and it gains ": Return Sakashima the Impostor to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step."

With that said, I would try to keep things low to the ground, like you have Rhystic Study in the maybe board but, you maybe better with Curiosity, Curious Obsession or even Military Intelligence. That said, Kindred Discovery and Coastal Piracy I think would work out as back up Bident of Thassa for more draw engines.

Your commander is critical for your deck, in these colors I would advice running some mix of Lazav, the Multifarious, Spark Double, Sakashima the Impostor, Lazav, Dimir Mastermind and/or Helm of the Host. One having more then one of your commander on the field at the time is never a bad thing. Two, your opponents will know to keep your commander down so make as many of it as you can 8p.

wheres the Flickering Ward or Shimmering Wings for the repeatable triggers? Sigarda's Aid for the insta speed Indestructibility.

Watch the nonbos like Hanna, Ship's Navigator or Auramancer with Rest in Peace in play makes for sad days. You have Tragic Slip but, only 2 triggers for morbid (Myriad Landscape and Seal of Cleansing)? I mean I like Tragic Slip and all but, it's better in sacrifice theme decks.Ephara, God of the Polis but, no flash to keep triggers each opponents turn.

More over the game plan is turn dude side ways but, now are looking to run Faerie, Enchantment or Flying mans?

last Omen of the Sea would just be a good card to run.

As a commander player which mainly plays Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow I can say that this deck is missing a couple of key cards.

greyninja on How Popular is Chromatic Lantern ...

I was stoked when they spoiled it for original Rav! Definitely design space they needed to get into. Now we're seeing it on creatures

Theres a few mono and dual color decks that would benefit from Chromatic Lantern: Sakashima the Impostor, Empress Galina, Memnarch, I run it in Etali, Primal Storm, I ran it in Olivia Voldaren, Lazav, Dimir Mastermind is another good candidate

Overall better for 3c decks; but there's applications all over!

nascentbodhi on Yuriko... because who needs friends anyway?

It seems like many Yuriko lists have moved to labfish combos, which I'm not a big fan of. For this build my goal is to continue using more of a burn strategy with a subtheme of turns. That being said, it could easily be updated to support the newer combo based wincons.

Removed: Countersquall, Curfew, Dark Ritual, Darkness, Far / Away, Memory Lapse, Mission Briefing, Treasure Cruise, Fallen Shinobi, Mist-Syndicate Naga, Sakashima the Impostor, Spectral Sailor, Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, Bitterblossom, Smoke Shroud, Bojuka Bog, Castle Vantress, Mystic Sanctuary, Grafdigger's Cage

Added: Arcane Signet, Bloodstained Mire, Chrome Mox, Damping Sphere, Exotic Orchard, Force of Despair, Frantic Search, Gitaxian Probe, Mausoleum Wanderer, Plaguecrafter, Snap, Spell Snare, Temporal Mastery, Universal Automaton

Sakashima the Impostor clone tribal is very fun. Scales to the table, and can appease a Timmy assuming another Timmy is present

Hi,

Great deck! How do you feel about adding Sakashima the Impostor? A copy of Yarok could be useful.

Cool deck! Have you consider Spark Double and Sakashima the Impostor and the they clone the commander without breaking the legend rule.
