Very special thanks to Olivia Gobert-Hicks of the Commander Rules Advisory Group for her talent and, of course, her Teysa deck! Check out more from her @GobertHicks!
Decklist: archidekt.com/decks/2753314#E...
If a player ever owns three cards in exile with hit counters they LOSE THE GAME. Very powerful, but she has a downside. She also must shuffle back into the deck after she hits, and while we can always return her to the command zone, that will increase her commander tax. We’ll need to use blink and bounce effects to keep her out of the command zone and in the fight.
The crux of this engine is going to be recur-able bounce and blink effects.
Artifacts like Crystal Shard, Erratic Portal and Portal of Sanctuary can bounce Etrata after her trigger so our opponents creatures still get the hit counter and Etrata returns to our hand safely. creatures like Vedalken Mastermind and Deadeye Navigator also let us keep Etrata from leaping back to the library or command zone.

I tried doing etrata then figured id do the next best thing and throw her in with yuriko in ninja tribal. Fun fact since this deck tech didnt mention it. ANY card with a ninjutsu effect can be used at ANY time during the combat step. The only requirement is that the creature must be unblocked (which etrata does) . So the trick is that you can ninjutsu her back to your hand after shes dealt damage and still get all of her benefits sans the shuffling her back. Take note that if you do this after combat damage is done you will NOT get the ninjas specific effect since the ninja needs to deal combat damage in most situations. This however can be remedied with Arcane adaptation or any card that altars the card type of all permanents you control to make her a ninja so any "When a ninja attacks triggers..." will proc as well. Have a good one and ty for the deck tech.

I really love that card, the common use is to enchant an indestructible land, although with the new land exile removal, that's not as safe as it used to be, but you can do so many janky things. Like also enchant it with Pariah, for a complete win against burn. Or animate a utility land and reduce the cost with Training academy _(pay 1, for 5 mana in any combination)_ Or best of all, animate Westvale Abbey, make it a human, and use Moonmist/Waxing_Moon to force it to transform, without any sacrifices.

Thanks for adding link to tappedout. It really makes looking at the deck easier. The only things this deck might need is a bit more sweepers (Damnation would be petfect), something to get rid of shroud/hexproof from oponents creatures (Arcane Lighthouse is great and does not take spell slot) and some reanimation to get dead/milled creatures back (Animate Dead, Dance of the Dead etc). I really like Erratic Portal and Crystal Shard. Those are great at generating value and technically prevent oponents from tapping out (I have caught many careless opponents with creatures out and no mana to pay for them).

Dowsing Dagger is also great, fulfills the need for ramp and fits the commander. If you'e looking to lean into the flicker theme, Glen Elendra, Agent of Treachery and Perplexing Chimera are both great payoffs Finally, you've got to throw some Ninjas in there, they're both synergistic and fit the theme

Just a word of warning about Field of Ruin, each opponent gets to find a land off it, not just you and the opponent you used it against. So in a four player, two of your opponents are getting free ramp. That doesn't mean that Field is a bad card, you just have to be careful about when to use it. It does have the plus side of forcing all players to shuffle their libraries, so if you use it to blow up one opponents Cabal Coffers after another opponent had cast something like Enlightened Tutor, you ruin enough of your opponents game plan that the trade off becomes worth it. Or you can think of it as a political tool. tl;dr Don't Field of Ruin willy-nilly. Get the most out of your ruinous wastelands.

The ninjutsu ability can be activated during the declare blockers, combat damage, or end of combat steps if you have an unblocked attacking creature.

I don't remember if it said this in the video or not. I listened but not carefully. If you use ninjutsu, Etrata won't deal combat damage, and you won't trigger her ability. Ninjutsu is after the defender has declared blockers, or lack of blockers, and before combat damage I believe. You can't ninjutsu after damage has already happened. As the reminder text says, "Return an unblocked attacker you control to hand: Put this card onto the battlefield from your hand tapped and attacking." You can't put it out tapped and attacking if combat damage has already been done. This may be what you were getting at, but I don't quite understand.

I thought this commander would be fun, but its such a hassle to get the win trigger most of the time. Against any sort of deck that doesn't rely on creatures, you do literally nothing. Same with any deck that can sac their own dudes, the trigger will never resolve. To be honest, i feel like Etrata does more work as an alternate target for Lazav the Multifarious to turn into if you feel like playing the meme.

Yeah most of my playgroup uses artifact heavy decks , so something that relies on opponents being creature heavy isn't super useful for me

You can always lean on the fact that etrata is unblockable. Buff her up.

I have a question. Can etrata exile a creature card if that said creature is about to die from blocking another creature?

I love my Etrata Unblockable Ninjas deck. Sadly it hasn't won a game...yet.

What if you use Besmirch or Frenzied Fugue against Etrata? Does she go back to the library of your opponent?

Wish I had a aggro meta, I love pillowfort! It's a bummer when ur fave archtype can't thrive in the meta. Luckily you can meta game with a totally different style of deck, I'm usually the aggro player in a meta of durdly decks. I wish you can find a deck you love that works in your meta!

A great deck that, I've brewed for modern, the only thing I'd maybe add is *mimic vat* & an outlet, as that synergies very well: " _Pay (3): so your commander clone can attack with haste._ ". you can even use it in their eot to make two token commanders, if you remove the legend rule with that artifact. Animate_Artifact or Toymaker a re also a good bet, for making targets.

Can you actually proliferate the hit counters like with infect counters?
@andrewl9191

I don't think so. 1. The hit counter is on a card in exile and can't be targeted by proliferate 2. You would only have a second proliferate on the same card if you could 3. The trigger text says, "if they own three or more exiled cards," so you wouldn't get an additional card to exile if you simply proliferate a counter on another card.
