Splinter, Radical Rat would shine in an Esper (white/blue/black) Ninja-tribal deck built around enter-the-battlefield or combat-damage triggers, since doubling triggered abilities from Ninjas greatly amplifies value engines like Yuriko, the Tiger’s Shadow (extra card draw and life loss), Ingenious Infiltrator (double card draw), or Silver-Fur Master and Moon-Circuit Hacker style tempo plays, while the activated unblockable ability helps reliably enable ninjutsu and combat triggers; this kind of deck would typically play evasive one-drops, cheap interaction, and a tempo-control shell to repeatedly pressure opponents. In terms of power level, Yuriko, the Tiger’s Shadow is generally the stronger and more competitive build-around in Ninja strategies (especially in Commander and high-power casual) because she provides immediate card advantage and damage from the command zone, making her a more consistent centerpiece, though Splinter would be excellent as a value-doubling support card inside
