Deck overview

This Mardu deck utilizes Isshin, Two Heavens as One as a force multiplier for attacking triggers, converting combat steps into explosive engines of token generation, card advantage, and direct damage. The deck accelerates through low-cost artifact ramp on turns one and two to deploy Isshin on turn three, immediately following with high-impact attack engines such as Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Hero of Bladehold, or Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon. With Isshin on the battlefield, every attack produces doubled tokens and doubled burn triggers from cards like Impact Tremors, Warleader's Call, and Brutal Hordechief. Additional combat spells such as Aurelia, the Warleader and Karlach, Fury of Avernus exponentially scale this damage, enabling the deck to eliminate all three opponents across two combat rotations. Robust instant-speed removal and proactive shielding like Teferi's Protection and Myrel, Shield of Argive safeguard the board while pushing through decisive combat victories.
