Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni

Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni is a sneaky reanimator commander that uses Ninjutsu to cheat onto the battlefield and immediately steal creatures from opponents' graveyards. The core gameplan is to enable unblocked attackers through evasion and combat tricks, then use Ninjutsu to flash Ink-Eyes in at the perfect moment. When she connects with a player, you reanimate one of their creatures, turning their best threats into your army. This creates a recursive threat that's hard to remove permanently—the regeneration mode keeps her protected, and you can bounce her back with Ninjutsu to set up another attack.

Your deck should focus on evasive creatures that enable the Ninjutsu plan, ways to make combat unblockable, and cards that protect your ninja threat. Fill the rest with tutors and cards that benefit from creatures entering the battlefield, since you'll be reanimating regularly. The win condition is typically commander damage combined with a growing army of stolen creatures, creating an exponential threat that opponents can't answer in time.

This plays as a tempo-midrange deck—you're not looking for a quick kill, but rather a steady accumulation of value until you've assembled an overwhelming board. It rewards careful attack planning and sequencing to maximize Ninjutsu triggers and graveyard interaction.
