Added 2x Access Tunnel, which is useful if I don't have Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive on the field, and nearly all of my cards require at least one generic mana.

Neat! Some things to consider:

• Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive combos pretty nicely with your creatures.
• A couple of Access Tunnels might not go amiss!
• I'd sheer the one-ofs up to two and three-ofs, for the more expensive and cheaper cards respectively.

Is Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive even worth the slot in this deck? It's just a vanilla creature when your commander is out

In case Mausoleum Wanderer turns out to be some sort of nonbo with Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, such as if you have a second wanderer in hand and one wanderer available to swing and casting the second would run the first into blockers, Judge's Familiar with the Siren Stormtamers in the side might be interesting

Hi there, really cool deck. I love the Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive + Combat Celebrant combo. I would suggest maybe 2 cards that might be a good alternative to what you have. I think Expressive Iteration might be a more efficient spell than Cathartic Reunion. Additionally, I would also consider swapping Cursecatcher with Siren Stormtamer. Maybe the one blue mana cost is too steep but I believe it will protect your guys better. Anyways, love the creativity.

Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive is perfect for any deck like this!

I'd also recommend swapping out Counterspell for Spell Pierce or Mana Leak.

Hello, been a while since I've really done much here, but I saw a highlight for your deck and thought I'd stop by. Your Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow seems to be designed for a higher-end playgroup than mine (given the Force of Will, Mana Crypt, etc.), but I figured I'd throw in a couple of fun things to consider.

First: 2-piece combo, Library of Leng + Unfulfilled Desires. Unfulfilled Desires is basically the only repeatable card that makes you discard as part of an ability instead of a cost so it can actually work with Library of Leng. You have 3 Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow triggers on the stack and 3 open mana? Vampiric Tutor up a bomb like Draco before the first trigger resolves. After the trigger resolves and you dome your opponents, activate Unfulfilled Desires to draw a card and discard Draco back to the top of your library. Then repeat for the rest of your triggers (mana allowing). While it's a tad slow, it packs a huge punch. It also allows for some extra enablers such as Looter il-Kor. So even if you don't have any ninjas to go around, you can resolve Looter il-Kor before a Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow trigger and discard something big in your hand to the top of your deck with Library of Leng to reveal for Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow's trigger.

Another 2-drop enabler to consider is Nether Traitor. While it does cost 2 mana, it has haste and shadow, so it's not really that bad. The only issue with it is the double black cost when you're building heavy blue for Force of Will. But it also has the upside of being able to come back to play on its own when something else of yours dies.

Due to my friends liking graveyard decks, I also opted to run some disruption in the form of Weathered Runestone. While it does turn off Nether Traitor's last ability, it also lets me run Dimir Infiltrator as an enabler and tutor. The 3-cost, sorcery speed tutor is a little slow, but being able to get things like Weathered Runestone, Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, Scroll Rack and Cyclonic Rift for games when I've been faced with someone stalling out my early aggression is nice.

Whether you add anything in or not is up to you and how they fit in your playgroup. Was just nice being able to share. Hope you continue your shadowy fun. :)
