Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
Yuriko does not have summoning sickness and cannot be blocked by an opponent. You control up to seven lands that can tap to produce at least {2}{U}{U}{B}{B}.
Steps
Declare Yuriko as an attacker. When it isn't blocked, activate up to seven lands you control by tapping them, adding at least {2}{U}{U}{B}{B}. Activate Great Whale's ninjutsu ability by paying {2}{U}{B} and returning Yuriko from the battlefield to your hand, putting Great Whale onto the battlefield from your hand tapped and attacking.
