Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an "attacks alone" Voltron-style deck helmed by Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima, leveraging a dense package of cards that trigger or scale when exactly one creature attacks. The primary game plan is to deploy Jin, suit him up with Equipment and Auras, and use his ability to choose between double strike or unblockability to push through commander damage. A supporting cast of 16+ creatures and enchantments - including Battlegrace Angel, Black Panther, Claws of Bast, Idolized, and Team Avatar - all feed off the same "attack alone" trigger, generating incremental value, counter growth, and combat tricks. The deck packs a surprisingly robust instant-speed interaction suite for a combat-focused list, with counterspells, removal, bounce, and protection, but lacks a fast mana base or dedicated tutors. Win conditions are purely combat-oriented: commander damage via Jin, aided by pump effects and the occasional Spider-Man Noir beatdown. There are no infinite combos, no mass reanimation, and no alternate win conditions - this is a straightforward, thematic "one samurai vs. the world" build.
