Shadow of Mortality

Creature — Avatar

If your life total is less than your starting life total, this spell costs less to cast, where X is the difference.

Ninjas are awesome: one of my EDH decks is a Yuriko deck that makes people "very happy". And it's a good start that you have! Some thoughts about things to add that vary in budget-friendliness:

Hi magwaaf!

I'm currently testing Shadow of Mortality in place of Draco, but I haven't officially updated the decklist yet.

As for high cmc cards in general, adding more than a few of them hurts your deck more than it improves it. The reason being that we play a very low number of lands and ramp spells, so we can't cast anything more than 6-7 mana very reliably. Although it feels awesome to flip an eldrazi titan to Yuriko's trigger, we're not casting it anytime soon, so we're better off filling our deck with "pretty high cmc but still playable" cards like Consign / Oblivion, Dig Through Time, etc.

Shadow of Mortality would fit well in here next to Draco :)

I'm digging up the first deck I ever built to try to smooth some things out:

I'm looking to add Meteor Golem, both as a high CMC card to pitch, and as recurring removal. I'm also adding Shadow of Mortality, because it has a huge CMC. I probably need to find a spot for Feed the Swarm.

I'm also looking at the ramp package, possibly trimming it down. Grim Monolith is a great card, but I'm not trying to combo here, and therefore, it's more of a one-shot use in this deck, and probably should be replaced. I've been considering some of the more recently released two-mana rocks, like Liquimetal Torque would be more useful.

Those are a few of the things I'm looking at changing. Any help is appreciated!

@magwaaf I do plan on trying out Shadow of Mortality, I just haven't gotten a hold of one yet! I think it will take the spot of Draco since it's actually cast-able, but Blinkmoth Infusion is likely still our best "burn" card since it can be pitched to Force of Will and similar cards.

I've been playing Yuriko in my "Casual Competitive" meta (We don't run Thassa's oracle/demonic consultation, Underworld breach/mox diamond/brain freeze / ad nauseam), and I've had the best luck running her with Spark Double, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces, and Sakashima the Impostor... Also I do Shadow of Mortality. Brainstorm is super key, if you have 2 triggers resolving, revealing the shadow, draw it, brainstorm it back to the top, resolve the second trigger. devastating. Really fun deck.
