Strategy
Satoru, the Infiltrator rewards you for cheating creatures onto the battlefield without casting them. Your gameplan centers on using effects like cascade, suspend, reanimation, and token generators to put creatures into play for free, then drawing cards whenever they enter. This creates a card-advantage engine that fuels your hand and accelerates your clock with evasive ninja creatures.
The deck leans heavily into blue and black's toolbox of cheating mechanics: reanimate from the graveyard, cascade spells, suspend creatures, and effects that put creatures directly onto the battlefield. Every free creature triggers Satoru, so you're constantly refueling. You win by generating value faster than opponents can interact, then turning that advantage into combat damage or setting up a knockout blow with your growing board of evasive threats.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Use cheaper reanimate spells like Supernatural Stamina and Undying Malice instead of Unmarked Grave, and lean on free-creature generators like Bitterblossom over pricey cascade payoffs.
