Shadow of Mortality

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

Yuriko, The Tiger’s Shadow

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:
- I like a lot of spells that you don't pay full price for, but that will hurt if Yuriko flips them. Commit / Memory, Dig Through Time, The Magic Mirror, Shadow of Mortality, and Commandeer are all, if memory serves, not so expensive price-wise and also quite powerful. (Force of Will is another classic, but I don't recommend it unless you have it because it's quite pricey!)
- Other good evasive creatures/enablers are Krydle of Baldur's Gate, Wonder, Nighthawk Scavenger, and Vampire Nighthawk. If you have one, Bitterblossom is also another great generator for nuisances.
- One of Yuriko's main tricks (or how I play her) is really being able to adjust your library on demand for maximum pain and suffering (for your opponents). Of course, Vampiric Tutor and Mystical Tutor are (expensive) classics, but Lim-Dul's Vault is a go-to I use, as is Sensei's Divining Top. For any of the instants, Isochron Scepter is great for repeatable "fun" with a lot of your stuff.
- Another option to maximize pain is any of the double-faced spell/land cards from Zendikar Rising, like Sea Gate Restoration Flip, Zof Consumption Flip, Umara Wizard Flip... not all of them are good, but they are great things to flip with Yuriko.

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!
