Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Mardu attack-trigger deck helmed by Isshin, Two Heavens as One, built entirely around the commander's ability to double every attack-triggered ability. The deck runs roughly 28 attack-trigger creatures and enchantments - Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, Myrel, Shield of Argive, Endless Foot Assault, and Legion Loyalty among them - to snowball an overwhelming token swarm while draining opponents through Commissar Severina Raine, Mishra, Claimed by Gix, Impact Tremors, and Warleader's Call. The primary win is combat damage, typically closed out by Akroma's Will granting double strike and protection to a wide board, with Crackling Doom and Ruinous Ultimatum as reach and reset buttons. Backup trigger doublers in Windcrag Siege (Mardu mode) and Delney, Streetwise Lookout provide redundancy for the commander's effect.
