Way of the Samurai is a 100-card Commander deck led by Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima in the Esper color identity (white/blue/black), played 1 time with a 0% win rate. TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.

The mainboard runs 22 creatures, 12 instants, 1 sorcery, 23 artifacts, 6 enchantments, and 36 lands, averaging 2.75 mana value across non-land cards. 72% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 9% cost 5 or more.

Notable inclusions: 7 game changers (e.g. Cyclonic Rift, Enlightened Tutor, and Ancient Tomb), 3 fast mana (Lotus Petal, Mox Amber, and Mox Opal), 1 cheap tutor (Steelshaper's Gift), and 2 tutors (Cloud, Midgar Mercenary and Stoneforge Mystic). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.

Why bracket 4? — Optimized

2 early two-card combos: Super State + Tainted Strike, Super State + Grafted Exoskeleton

A two-card infinite combo cheap enough to assemble and win in the early game (data from Commander Spellbook). Bracket 3 decks are expected not to run these; any means Bracket 4.

7 Game Changers
