Character Background

Satoru Umezawa is a stealthy tempo/value engine: his 2/4 body for {1}{U}{B} protects your life total while turning any non-ninja threats in hand into surprise attackers with a uniform ninjutsu cost of {2}{U}{B}, and his triggered card selection when you activate a ninjutsu ability turns those swaps into consistent card advantage. Build him into a tempo-midrange shell that combines cheap, evasive attackers (one-drops with flying, menace, or unblockable) to reliably enable the ninjutsu activation with high-impact creatures in hand that have strong enter-the-battlefield or disruptive effects. Because his look-at-top-three ability only fires once each turn and he is legendary, structure the deck to maximize one big hit per turn: stock your hand with threats and include library manipulation—scry and small cantrips—to set up the top three. Specific synergy: pair Satoru with a suite of ETB payoffs and multiple low-cost evaders so you can trade tempo for repeatable value and keep pressure while refilling with precision.
