Norika Yamazaki, the Poet⁣ - Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [31]

Norika Yamazaki, the Poet, is a 3/2 Human Samurai with vigilance, meaning she can attack without tapping and can still block on your opponent's turn. Her ability allows you to cast an enchantment card from your graveyard whenever a Samurai or Warrior you control attacks alone, potentially giving you a way to bring back powerful enchantments that can swing the game in your favour. This makes her particularly useful in decks focused on Samurai or Warriors, where you might want to take advantage of your attackers to regain valuable enchantments, but you’ll need to ensure you have a sufficient number of attackers that fit this criteria. **As a Commander:** As a commander, Norika offers a unique angle for decks that want to capitalise on enchantments and creature synergies, but her reliance on attacking alone can limit your strategies. She could shine in a more focused Samurai deck, but her abilities may be more effective in the 99 of a deck that leverages her to bring back key enchantments without being the centrepiece. Overall, her effectiveness greatly hinges on the composition of your deck and the presence of solo attackers.
