Shredder, Shadow Master
Whenever Shredder attacks a player, for each other opponent, create a token that's a copy of Shredder tapped and attacking that player, except it isn't legendary. Sacrifice those tokens at end of combat. Whenever Shredder deals combat damage to a player, that player loses half their life, rounded up.
How Shredder decks play in EDH
Shredder, Shadow Master is a mono-black commander costing 3BB, and its legendary creature - human ninja line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. The cards below are the ones Shredder, Shadow Master decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
