Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 17 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 2.56.
Early: Use the early turns on mana and on the commander itself. Plague Myr and the other 11 ramp pieces are there to power what comes after Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, not to cast it - at 2 mana it should be on the table almost immediately.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Mistblade Shinobi is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Neurok Commando keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Aetherize for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 2.56 average mana value the top end is cheap, so expect to deploy several spells a turn.
Win conditions: Wins through the commander and the strongest threats the colours offer, backed by real interaction.
- Neurok Commando - Card draw
- Tandem Lookout - Card draw
- Scroll Thief - Card draw
- Bident of Thassa - Card draw
- Mistblade Shinobi - Interaction
- Reconnaissance Mission - Card draw
- Coastal Piracy - Card draw
- Mist-Syndicate Naga - Core to the plan
