📖 How to build Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive

Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive is a two-mana blue Human Rogue whose single ability makes each creature you control with power or toughness 1 or less unblockable. The game plan is to fill the board with small creatures and attack past opposing blockers, turning many low-stat bodies into steady damage.

Build around cheap creatures with power or toughness 1 or less, along with ways to put them into play quickly. From the popular list, Brainstorm and Frantic Search can help dig for the pieces you need, while Counterspell, Negate, and Arcane Denial can protect the plan from interference. Mystic Remora and Rhystic Study are popular blue options for card advantage to fund the rest of the deck.

Watch out that the ability only applies to creatures with power or toughness 1 or less, so larger threats gain nothing from it. It also does nothing to stop blocks on your other creatures, removal, or damage, so you will still need answers for opposing creatures. Because the deck depends on many small creatures, it can also be vulnerable to board wipes.
