Help Building aggro Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Commander Deck Help forum

Hello!

I'm new to the forum community. :) I've basically only used Tapped Out for deck building, so be gentle. Anyways, let's get to it!

I'm working on making an aggressive Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow deck to sprint into victory in my casual play group. To be honest, I'll probably end up making this deck with proxies first, but I don't want to use cards that I realistically wouldn't buy if I decided to get everything together for the deck. So probably ~$50 max on cards.

My current strategy is to get a 0-1 drop out turn 1, attack turn 2 and get Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow out right away. After that, it's a cycle of getting unblockable creatures, using Ninjutsu, and triggering Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow 's ability for card advantage and bits of damage.

I've tested it a bit, and it seems like it has the general problem of not dealing enough damage (because of small creatures/avg CMC). Anyone have any tips or recommendations?

Here's the list! Death from the Shadows

Oh, and I'm keeping an eye on the Modern Horizons spoilers.

Add some delve cards. Treasure Cruise , Dig Through Time , Temporal Manipulation are all huge bombs for the deck. In general, though, I don't see how you aren't doing enough damage with that deck. What's your standard for good enough damage? Like, you flip a commit and you've dealt 40 damage in one turn aside from combat damage you just dealt.

If you feel like you aren't fast enough to take everyone out before they can retaliate, just prioritize the most likely person to be able to stop you. That is a matter of threat assessment more than the cards you have.

What I'm saying is your deck looks fine, sure there are ways to tweak it, but overall it should already play well if you can prioritize with it.

One last thing I can think of is fixing your attack triggers with Scroll Rack , but thats out of your budget I think
