Warlord Isshin by TheGoofOne

Format: Commander

Commander: Isshin, Two Heavens as One

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Mardu go-wide attack-trigger deck helmed by Isshin, Two Heavens as One, whose doubling of every "whenever a creature attacks" trigger is the entire engine. The deck is packed with token-on-attack creatures - Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, Hero of Bladehold, Myrel, Shield of Argive - so each swing with Isshin out roughly doubles the board. Drain effects (Impact Tremors, Warleader's Call, General Kreat, the Boltbringer, Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim) convert every token ETB and death into table-wide damage, while extra-combat pieces (Aurelia, the Warleader, Combat Celebrant, Moraug, Fury of Akoum) turn a wide board into a one-turn kill. Windcrag Siege in Mardu mode acts as a second Isshin. The plan is simple: cast Isshin, deploy token makers, swing wide with doubled triggers, and finish with extra combats and drain.
