Commander - Yuriko, Tiger's Shadow

62 24
27 42 2 28

Win Conditions

Fastest Win Condition

Thoracle - Thassa's Oracleimage + Demonic Consultationimage with backups of Tainted Pactimage or Jace, Wielder of Mysteriesimage

Turn 1 access to 3 mana via:

Alternative Win Condition

Damage - 3 turns of Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadowimage with Blinkmoth Infusionimage + Shadow of Mortalityimage + Sea Gate Restorationimage for 37 damage to all

Leverage the following to place the above 3 cards on top of the library:

Mana Base

Manabase needs to be singleton because of Tainted Pactimage, so no duplicates, not even for a Basic land.

Snow-Covered Islandimage and Snow-Covered Swampimage for Basic land redundancy.

Lands to look at replacing for better options from future sets:

Mulligan

Mulligan for a 1 drop creature at a minimum.  You'd like the hand to have your evasive 1 drop, a cheap/free interaction spell, 2 total lands/ramp, and a tutor or card advantage engine.  That's only 5 slots of your hand, so you can mull pretty aggressively.  Don't fall for the trap of mulliganing just to find the Thoracle combo.  This is just a baseline mulligan concept though.  If you're up against a lot of stax, you may want to focus on Thoracle for winning fast before things can get setup on the board.  The rest of pod impacts how you want to mulligan.  If you're in a pod with a couple of turbo Ad Nauseamimage decks, then you may want to hedge on trying to get a turn 2/turn 3 Dracoimage or Shadow of Mortalityimage.  If you're up against midrange decks you may want to hedge more towards getting your card advantage engines.  Read the table.

Meta Consideration

If somehow the meta becomes hateful towards Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadowimage in a way that prevents her from hitting the board, consider Caustic Broncoimage as a backup card for her and swap it into the deck for a land (since there a 30 lands and 3 pitchable land MDFCs to use in conjunction with free spells).  Only Dauthi Voidwalkerimage, Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholarimage, Ingenious Prodigyimage, Opposition Agentimage and potentially Orcish Bowmastersimage, Phyrexian Metamorphimage, Flesh Duplicateimage, or Mockingbirdimage work well with the Saddle mechanic though.

Future Sets Lookout

Blue replacement for Shadow of Mortalityimage.

0 or 1 Mana Value Evasive Ninja or Changeling creatures.

More card draw engines.

More tutors.

Current Chopping Block

Chain of Vaporimage - Redundant with Into the Flood Mawimage

Jace, Wielder of Mysteriesimage - Would swap out if a 2 mana version of a Praetor's Graspimage like effect gets printed
