Satoru, the Infiltrator

—

Satoru is a 2cmc 2/3 menace Ninja Rogue that draws a card whenever he and/or nontoken creatures enter without being cast or without mana being spent on them — rewarding reanimation, free-cast, flicker/blink, and ninjutsu effects. His low cost and efficient body make him a premier draw engine commander or 99 piece in Dimir reanimator, blink, and ninja typal shells where creatures frequently enter "for free."

• Satoru's trigger uses a batch-entry design — if multiple nontoken creatures enter simultaneously (e.g. mass reanimation) and none were cast, it triggers once and draws only one card, not one per creature.

• The condition 'none of them were cast OR no mana was spent to cast them' means zero-mana-cost casts (like Evoke creatures pitched for free) also satisfy the trigger, not just uncasted ETBs.

• As a 2cmc commander in Dimir, Satoru enables extremely fast value loops — a turn-2 reanimation or ninjutsu effect on turn 3 already draws a card, making him a strong early-game engine in optimized casual brackets.
