Character Background
Tatsunari, Toad Rider reads like a compact enchantment-synergy commander for a value/tempo midrange build: the ninja’s ability converts cheap enchantments into a persistent board presence (Keimi) that taxes opponents a life each time you keep casting enchantments, while his {1}{G/U} evasive pump turns those frogs — and Tatsunari himself — into reliable clock pieces. Thematically it feels like a stealthy rider calling a single powerful amphibian familiar to ride herd over your enchantment rituals. Practically, build around low-cost enchantments and “enchantress” effects to both trigger Keimi and refuel your hand, add spot removal and recursion from black to keep Keimi and Tatsunari around, and include blink/bounce effects so you can recreate Keimi multiple times or dodge removal for repeated drain value. Also consider other Frog synergies and a mana base that supports green for the activation (or blue if you want the hybrid flexibility). This card best supports a value/tempo plan that converts incremental enchantment triggers into evasive damage and long-term life-lead advantage.
