How it works

  4. When Palinchron enters the battlefield, it triggers, untapping up to seven lands.
  5. Activate Yuriko's ninjutsu ability by paying U manaB mana and returning Palinchron from the battlefield to your hand, putting Yuriko onto the battlefield from your hand tapped and attacking.

This elegant looping engine leverages Satoru Umezawa to grant every creature in your hand ninjutsu, turning your attackers into a revolving door of sneaky ninjas. By bouncing and replaying Palinchron over and over, its entry trigger untaps your lands to continuously refund your mana while generating infinite enters-the-battlefield and leaves-the-battlefield triggers. Finally, commander ninjutsu lets you swap Palinchron right back out for Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, safely cycling your commander into the fray to press your advantage.
