Description
Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow stands as a pivotal figure in the 2023 Commander Masters expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As card number 690, this Legendary Creature belongs to the Human Ninja subtype and commands a mana cost of {1}{U}{B}. Its design emphasizes the character's lethal efficiency, making it a cornerstone for collectors building ninja-themed decks. The card’s primary appeal lies in its unique commander ninjutsu ability, which allows players to return an unblocked attacker to their hand to deploy Yuriko from the command zone. This mechanic provides strategic flexibility, enabling surprise attacks and resource management. Once on the battlefield, any combat damage dealt by a Ninja triggers a powerful effect: revealing the top card of the library and placing it into the hand. Simultaneously, each opponent loses life equal to that card's mana value, creating a compounding advantage for the controller. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, this release offers a distinct gameplay experience centered around color identity Blue and Black. Collectors value this card not only for its mechanical depth but also for its role in defining modern ninja archetypes. Whether you are completing your Commander Masters collection or seeking a powerful addition to your competitive pool, Yuriko provides both aesthetic and functional significance. The card’s rarity as a Rare print adds to its desirability among those who appreciate high-quality artifact production from Wizards of the Coast.
