Satoru Umezawa

Ninjitsu allows you to swap an unblocked attacker with a creature card in your hand tapped and attacking. Our Commander Satoru Umezawa allows you to give this ability to all creatures in your hand. This deck aims to get infinite mana and infinitely replace attackers to spam ETB effects for the win.

Step 1: Generate infinite mana
Step 2: Use that mana to infinitely replace attackers with Satoru Umezawa's ninjitsu ability, winning with an enter-the-battlefield effect win, or dump the mana into a game-winning card.

To create infinite mana:

• Pili-Pala + Grand Architect
• 5 lands + swing with an unblocked attacker + two untap land ETB creatures (Peregrine Drake, Palinchron, or Great Whale) + Satoru Umezawa (infinitely replace the two untap land ETB creatures. If you use High Tide or Ancient Tomb, you can use less lands).
• High Tide + Palinchron

Once you have infinite mana, win the game by using Satoru Umezawa’s ninjitsu ability to infinitely replace attackers with these creatures, or by dumping infinite mana into these cards:

• Archon of Cruelty
• Owl Familiar
• Baleful Strix
• Agent of Treachery
• Rune-Scarred Demon
• Skyscanner
• Spectral Sailor
• Thieves' Guild Enforcer
