Commander deckBU
Satoru, the Infiltrator
Maximize Ninja enter-the-battlefield triggers and Ninjutsu abilities while drawing cards every time a creature enters without paying its full mana cost.
Asked for“Quero que faça um deck de trigger como Splinter Radical Rat como comandante, que abuse de triggers de Ninja, qualquer ninja, de qualquer forma. Sem budget, apenas quero ver as opções, não coloque mana, não coloque artefatos, apenas ninjas que funcinam ckm o Splinter”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.
Mana curve · 60 nonland cards
The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
