Deck overview

This Mardu deck is helmed by Isshin, Two Heavens as One, a force multiplier for every attack-triggered ability you control. The primary game plan is to deploy creatures with powerful "whenever this creature attacks" triggers-token generators, mana producers, card draw, and extra combat effects-and then double every trigger to snowball into a lethal combat phase. The deck leans heavily on extra combat steps via Aurelia, the Warleader, Raiyuu, Storm's Edge, and Hexplate Wallbreaker, often finishing with a multi-combat chain that overwhelms opponents. Secondary win conditions include Master of Cruelties (setting a player to 1 life, then cleaning up with another attack) and Bolas's Citadel for a burst of life-paying value. The deck is aggressive, linear, and thrives on unchecked attacks.
