Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Shredder, Unrelenting is a sneaky evasion creature that rewards you for attacking with unblocked creatures—exactly what Ninja decks love. The sneak cost lets you cast him cheaply by bouncing an attacker back to your hand, turning your damage-dealing creatures into repeatable value. He also doubles down on deathtouch synergies, turning your whole team into removal threats while dealing commander damage.

Your gameplan centers on cheap, evasive creatures (Ninjas, small flyers, unblockable threats) that slip through for damage while Shredder bounces them back for repeated triggers. Each bounce refuels your hand and resets your attacks. Pairing this with sacrifice outlets, aristocrats synergies, and other deathtouch creatures turns your little dudes into a stalling fortress while you clock in combat damage and commander damage.

Wins come from evasive combat damage stacking up over time, commander damage from Shredder himself, or via sacrifice/deathtouch synergies that go wide. The deck is grindy but explosive once it gets rolling.

Same gameplan, less money

Swap pricey Ninjas like Sheoldred's Edict for budget evasion like Ornithopter of Ojutai or Triton Shorestalker; use Viscera Seer instead of Zulaport Cutthroat.
