Moon-Circuit Hacker card art
Moon-Circuit Hacker is a one-mana ninjutsu enabler that draws a card every time it connects — the ceiling is real, and the floor is a 1/1 that trades into nothing. The cost is its fragility: without evasion support it stalls against any board, which is why it lives almost exclusively in Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow decks where Thousand-Faced Shadow and friends guarantee unblockable lanes.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

71.2% of decks · synergy 0.63

Moon-Circuit Hacker is the textbook setup piece for Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow — a one-mana creature you're happy to bounce back to hand the moment a better ninjutsu target arrives, drawing a card on each successful hit while you reload the Yuriko trigger engine.

02
Goro-Goro and Satoru

Goro-Goro and Satoru

61.4% of decks · synergy 0.60

Goro-Goro and Satoru reward every attacking creature that wasn't on the battlefield at the start of combat, and Moon-Circuit Hacker's ninjutsu means it enters mid-attack repeatedly, generating tokens and card draws in the same swing.

03
Splinter, Radical Rat

Splinter, Radical Rat

53.4% of decks · synergy 0.52

Splinter, Radical Rat cares about Rogues and unblocked attackers, and Moon-Circuit Hacker checks both boxes — it's a Rogue that sneaks in via ninjutsu and replaces itself with a card draw every time it lands.

04
Satoru, the Infiltrator

Satoru, the Infiltrator

42.6% of decks · synergy 0.35

Satoru, the Infiltrator draws a card whenever a creature connets that wasn't cast from hand, and Moon-Circuit Hacker's ninjutsu deployment triggers that condition reliably on a cheap, repeatable body.

05
Satoru Umezawa

Satoru Umezawa

33.3% of decks · synergy 0.25

Satoru Umezawa lets you ninjutsu in any creature for three mana, but Moon-Circuit Hacker earns its slot by doing the opposite job — it's the throwaway one-drop you bounce to hand so you can ninjutsu something far bigger into the red zone.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper legal
oathbreaker legal

In Commander, Moon-Circuit Hacker is a role-player, not a headliner — it belongs in dedicated ninjutsu decks and contributes nothing outside them. In Pauper it has seen fringe play in Dimir Ninjas, where the common card pool makes a one-mana ninjutsu body with built-in draw genuinely competitive. Modern and Pioneer have faster clocks and better interaction, so Moon-Circuit Hacker rarely survives long enough to draw more than one card unless the shell is built around protecting it. Legacy and Vintage have no interest — the card is simply outclassed.

Price Context

Current price

$0.17 bulk tier

At $0.17, Moon-Circuit Hacker is deep bulk — pick up as many as you need without a second thought. Bulk rares with narrow homes rarely spike, so don't expect movement unless a new ninjutsu commander breaks out and drives sustained demand.
